WMS Students Meet Author Kwame Alexander

Yesterday, some of our students had the chance to go with me to meet award-winning author Kwame Alexander in Bowling Green, Kentucky as part of the conclusion of the "Let's Read" series sponsored by the Warren County Public Library.  

Mr. Alexander is the author of many books, including the 2015 Newbery Medalist The Crossover.  For the past few years, The Crossover has been read by our eighth grade students as part of the Wit and Wisdom curriculum.

The girls were also able to meet actor Trevor Bush who played Vondie in the television adaptation of the novel which airs on Disney Plus.

Hopefully, next year, we will be able to arrange more trips for all our students to meet some incredible authors throughout the year. 

Until then, keep reading!
