On October 2 (2008), the primary division had the pleasure of experiencing a wonderful workshop and storytelling time with local author Susan Ross. Mrs. Ross, a former primary teacher and a Stoneybrook resident whom the children recognize when she walks her dog Abby, provided the workshop to our students … The workshop allowed the students to walk through the process with Mrs. Ross of how a creative idea can be developed into a story, tested on the target audience, and then completed for publishing purposes. She shared with us how she discovered her illustrator who is a London student, and how the two collaborated to complete the publishing process. She also entertained us with her wonderful storytelling abilities by presenting her published work as well as allowing us to be her audience for her upcoming Halloween book. The students were greatly enlightened in the writing process and thoroughly entertained. A great time was had by everyone!
