Sunflower Elementary School’s library just got a little bigger thanks to some budding authors.  Getting a taste of the publishing industry, Sunflower students recently had the opportunity to write their own stories. But the best part about a story is sharing it with someone else, and students got a chance to do just that on Feb. 3 during a school-wide read-in in the gymnasium. Third-graders each wrote a story, and those stories were put together to create class books. Fourth- and fifth-graders took it one step further, as they got to write and publish their very own storybooks. The gym was packed with students, teachers and parents during the read-in, as everyone scattered out and read their story to as many people as they could. Students were reading to students, parents were reading to children, teachers were reading to current and past students, and then everyone switched around and read some more. “How does it feel to be a published author?” Principal Staci Wokutch asked the gym full of people. “Good!” the students all shouted in reply. Wokutch told the students that their books will stay in the school’s library for other students to enjoy, but when the authors graduate from middle school, they will get their book back.
