Jerry Pallotta Visits the Woodville!

Today, Jerry Pallotta visited our 460 students at the Woodville. The author of many books, Jerry gave a wonderful and very funny presentation for our students about the writing process and challenged the students to become authors.

Taken from his website:
"While speaking in schools, teachers also told me they were looking for simple non-fiction nature books. It gave me the confidence to write more. My next book, "The Icky Bug Alphabet Book", has sold more than 1 million copies. My third book, "The Bird Alphabet Book" was voted one of the best books of the year by Birders World Magazine. I now have over twenty alphabet books. My goal has always been to write interesting, fact-filled, fun to read, beautifully illustrated color children's books."

Our students and staff really enjoyed his visit. Thanks, Jerry!!!
