Avid Readers Win Time Travel Essay Contest

"Gifts to Go" in Surprise, AZ sponsored an essay contest for students, asking them where they would go if time travel were available. Our winners, Debbie and Ngaruiya from Sky View Elementary School in Peoria, wanted to meet Thomas Edison and see dinosaurs. Their entries were certainly intriguing.

As an author, I am genuinely appreciative of the effort that "Gifts to Go" has made to promote reading in our schools and to introduce students to Arizona authors.

As the recipient school for the winners, Sky View Elementary will receive a complimentary workshop given by me this year on a theme that they can select, such as: Creating Believable Characters, Using Mood and Tone in Writing, Creating Elements of Suspense, etc.

When businesses and schools work together, our students will indeed benefit. Thank you Tammy Fraser at "Gifts to Go" for all you do!
