Paul Durham: Author of the Luck Uglies

How fortunate are our children that they got to meet an author of a current best-selling book?  SO LUCKY!!  Paul came in and told all the 5th graders about his long journey to become an author.  The biggest part of his message fit beautifully with our growth mindset philosophy.  He persisted and persevered while bouncing back from numerous failures.


Some students were tested on their Luck Ugly knowledge with a trivia show.  Our own Sam C was chosen!


Paul came back to the classroom to autograph books for the kids.


It was fantastic for me as a teacher to experience a real life author sharing his passion with some future authors!
