Children's author coming to Valley View

April 25, 2013
Deby Fredericks, a Spokane school crossing guard and substitute secretary by day, writes for children as Lucy D. Ford, and she has been a writer all her life. She viewed it as just a fun hobby until the late 1990s. She'll be visiting Valley View Elementary on Wednesday, May 1.

“Lucy” has had short stories and poetry published in magazines such as Boys’ Life, Babybug, Ladybug, and Spider.

At Valley View, she will be presenting writer's workshops to kindergartners through second grades.

She will also have two assemblies, one for kindergarten through second grades at 10:30 a.m., and the other at 2:45 p.m. for third through fifth grades in the Valley View Gym.

Parents, grandparent and the community are welcome to join in on the assemblies.

Deby's visit is sponsored by Eastern Washington University’s "Get Lit" program and made possible by funding from the Bonners Ferry Lion’s Club.

Idaho Reads! VISTA program and Valley View Elementary are committed to improve literacy through volunteerism and community support.

Thanks to the Boundary County community, we are making a difference in our children’s lives.

If you are interested in volunteering or donating to our Literacy Program, please contact us at (208) 267-5519.
