4th grade teacher Angela Thomas had spent the summer making a connection with Marissa Moss – mostly because of the book Amelia’s Notebook and Thomas’ daughter’s love for the book (and having the name Amelia).

Shortly after school started, Thomas, Librarian Keri Thrift, and ITS Leslie Long arranged an opportunity for Old Town 4th graders to visit with author Marissa Moss on Friday, September 2. Moss talking to the students about the writing process and what it takes to become an author.
