All of the planning and preparation was done by HES Language Arts teacher Jannie Allen, and her student teacher, Stefanie Spivey. Twenty-three HHS students then took over the leadership roles, teaching classes around the themes of jelly beans, baseball, hamburgers, Earth Day and kites. The classes touched on many varieties and styles of writing, from poetry to grammar study, to persuasive and essays. Each student attended four of the five classes, and enjoyed a snack in the middle of the morning. Carri Grieb, a dedicated Parent-Teacher Club volunteer, organized the delicious snack of fruit, cookies and juice.
