  Finding Your Voice

One of our great school friends, Andrew Phillips, continues to follow his passion as he works to publish the story “Santa Clothes”.  Mr. Phillips has been to our school many times over the years teaching how to create stories, engaging our students in songs, and sharing his gift of storytelling.  He has found his voice as a children’s storyteller and continues to find new ways to share his ideas with children across the country. You can help Mr. Phillips reach his next goal by going on to www.abcbookcompetition.org and vote for “Santa Clothes.” The website offers individuals a chance to read exciting new stories and check out emerging artists. The story has been selected as one of the top 12 finalists from across the country. The story with the most votes will be published for all to enjoy. Let’s work together as a school to help Mr. Phillips reach his goal of publishing “Santa Clothes”.
