Author David Biedrzycki Visits Crete Elementary

Our Elementary was so lucky to team up with the Crete Public Library to bring the children's author and illustrator, David Biedrzycki to our school on Wednesday, November 5th.  He spent the day in our Library giving 5 presenations, (one to each grade level K-4) and sharing his knowledge of what it takes to be an author.  David shared his new book "Breaking News, Bear Alert" with the students.  Since he uses the computer to digitally create his pictures, he was able to insert a picture of me in one of the pictures.  It was fun to see the children's expressions when they saw me sitting in the diner on one of the pages.   David was gracious and was willing to eat with a group of 4th graders, who entered and won a writing contest at our school.  Thanks to the Crete Elementary Student Council and the Friend of the Library groups for sponsoring David's visit.
