Last Friday, February 27th we had such a special treat - spending the day with Ingrid Law, author of
Savvy, Scumble, and soon to be published
Switch. The girls spent the morning with Ms. Law in the classroom. They had a chance to hear her speak, ask her questions, and get to know this Newbery Honor winning author. We then traveled to Mt. Washington for an amazing luncheon, complete with cupcakes topped with miniature
Savvy books! The girls and their guests, as well as Ms. Law, had a lovely afternoon. Thanks to the many parents who made the beautiful centerpieces and delicious desserts!
Ms. Law sent an email after she arrived back in Denver saying how much she had enjoyed her visit.
She wrote,
"Friday was such a wonderful day. Thank you for hosting me. I had a great time with the girls and it makes me incredibly happy to know my visit had an impact and inspired an excitement for writing. I was able to look through the beautiful book the girls signed for me after returning to my hotel. Your school has an impressive history! And the water bottle and coffee "bowl" will always remind me of my lovely time with you and your students.
I made it home without incident, but was astounded by the amount of snow that fell in Colorado while I was away. It's been a long winter, hasn't it? But like you said, spring is on its way.
By the way, I posted a picture of those cupcakes on Facebook and I'm not sure I've ever gotten so many likes, comments, even shares! Plus, I ate one of mine for breakfast on Saturday morning.
I hope the rest of your school year is a delight.
All my best, Ingrid"
I'm sure we are all very glad that the lunch was last Friday and not tomorrow as originally scheduled! The literary gods were smiling on us!
