School visit Delaware Elementary- Des Moines Iowa

It is not often I get to visit a school at the beginning and the end of a school year, but that was the rare treat for me and the students at Delaware Elementary in Des Moines Iowa.

Thank you Mr. Walker for making something special happen for the students and staff at Delaware!

They wanted more writing workshops for their students, and they wanted to be one of the first to hear all about the latest journey of exploring the Amazon rain forest of South America.

The 5th grade gave me the honor of allowing me to take a photo with them in their class shirts!

Thank you for a awesome two days!

 

Have a great summer filled with dreams that come true!
