A class at Knapp Elementary are published authors with the help of their substitute teacher, Taylor Martin!
To spread the importance of kindness and what that trait means to them, their class created 'The Importance of Kindness', a story of a girl named Sarina, who is a bully at her school. When Sarina gets expelled, her world is turned upside down and she finds she is now the one being bullied at her new school. Sarina learns a valuable lesson about kindness through the story.
'The Importance of Kindness' can be purchased on Amazon.com, with the profits going towards the purchase of more books for classroom libraries. #YouBelongHere
Congratulations to this year's graduates of all ages!
