Children's author visits Valley View Elementary

March 2, 2013
The Bonners Ferry Rotary Club, Valley View PTO, Idaho Reads! VISTA, Debbie Pauls and the EWU Get Lit! Program made it possible for children's author Carol Muzik to visit Valley View Elementary February 26.

Author and illustrator of the book, Raising Lucy, The True Story of Raising an Orphaned Wild Goose, Carol Muzik came to VV and presented three enlightening writing workshops to the fourth and fifth graders.

She gave high quality educational instruction as students worked through the process of writing their own stories. All students had the opportunity to purchase her book, meet her and have their book signed.

Carol and her husband Nick raised an orphaned Canada gosling to its successful return to the wild. Carol documented their experience through photography, video and her original illustrations.

She is sharing her story, Lucy’s story, through her award-winning short film and children’s illustrated storybook. You can visit her website www.RaisingLucy.com for more information.

Principal Pflueger and the staff at Valley View are devoted to providing reading and writing opportunities to the students.

Thanks to financial support of our community and all those that volunteer their time, we are making a difference in the lives of our children. Anyone interested in devoting time to reading with or mentoring students, please contact Valley View at (208) 267-5519.
