On March 11th, students and staff filled the Lewis Mills Auditorium for their first assembly in 2 years. Rob Buyea the award winning author of the popular Mr. Terupt series, gave an hour long presentation to a full crowd. An outgoing, charismatic speaker, he kept the students on the edge of their seats. He shared stories from his years as a middle school teacher, and how those students influenced his writing. Much of his talk also included how hard he worked to be a writer, including his many failures. Just keep trying, he stressed to his audience. After the assembly, he visited the fifth grade classrooms to meet the students and answer their questions. His inspiring words were a terrific end to our week.
