Author and Illustrator Nathan Hale is coming to Hardy Oak!
We are so very excited to be hosting author and illustrator Nathan Hale next month. On Wednesday, March 6th all 2nd through 5th graders will get to hear his presentation and ask questions. He is a very dynamic speaker and will share about his writing process, while providing some illustrating techniques. He has received numerous awards for his graphic novels, which are extremely popular with the students. And a few lucky students will win the special treat to have lunch with Nathan Hale. Super cool!
