On Thursday, April 10th, Eggert Elementary welcomed picture book and chapter book author Mylisa Larsen for an inspiring and fun-filled Author’s Day. A native of Syracuse, Mylisa engaged students with her love of literature and showed them how the writing process can be just as exciting as playing a game.
In the days leading up to the event, students let their creativity shine in a pajama design contest. Fourteen winners were selected to enjoy a special lunch with Mylisa, where they could ask questions and learn more about life as a writer.
The visit left a lasting impression on students and staff alike. A big thank you goes out to the Author’s Day Committee, the PTO, and OPFAE for their generous support in bringing this memorable experience to Eggert!
