Mrs. Schmitt’s 7th grade students recently put their creativity to the test by writing their own children’s books, each inspired by lessons from the Asian folktales they’ve been studying. These young authors didn’t stop there—they shared their stories with a very special audience: Mrs. Fuchs’s 1st grade class! We’re so proud of our 7th graders for bringing meaningful messages to life and sharing them with our littlest learners! #VanguardPride
