In honor of hosting author, Dan Gemeinhart, yesterday, the school library held a bookmark contest. The students had to use different elements that followed a theme or were associated with one of Dan's books. All winning bookmarks will be professionally printed and available in the library's for all students. Congratulations to all of these students for submitting winning designs!

Today was Dan Gemeinhart day at E.C.! We have eagerly and excitedly been waiting for our author visit with Dan since spring! We enjoyed large and small group presentations, a writing workshop, and a read-a-loud from his book The Honest Truth. We loved watching students face off in a "Who Said It - Dan G. or T. Swift?" competition and all the classes enjoyed spending time in small group sessions with Q&As with Dan. This was truly a day that will not be forgotten! We are so grateful to have had Dan join us at Edmunds Central!
