LINCOLN - On Friday, Northwest
School in Lincoln hosted a Book Premiere featuring the fabulous
writings its students created this past school year. Elementary
students from second through fifth grades participated in the
writing project that took student's works and put them into book
form.
|
The school began the book program last year, which encourages
students to focus on their writing skills by putting their works
into a keepsake hardback book.
Writings and art of the younger students were compiled and
incorporated into a single class book, one for the second grade and
one for the third grade classes. Fourth and fifth grade students
each had an individual book of their own writings that they were
presented to keep after the premiere.
The program was so popular with the students last year, that this
year it was expanded to include a public presentation, during which
some of the children were given the opportunity to read their
submissions aloud.

The student's efforts were further encouraged, as the older students
cheered for the younger ones while entering the gymnasium on a red
carpet event to premiere their books before everyone.
Principal, Mr. Chris Allen, welcomed guests to the presentations,
which included:
Mrs. Eigenbrod's class book, "Hip-hip horray! It's 100 day"
Mrs. Tripplett's first grade class book, "When I grow up," with
readers Cort Pentecost and Anaiya Willis
