In Mr. Laughton’s 5th
grade Language Arts class,
students published a class
collection of personal
narratives. The publisher
of the class book, Student
Treasures Publishing,
selected the class to
receive a $500 grant for this
publication. In response,
students decided to
donate the grant money
for use in the Elementary
and Intermediate School
libraries!
