Author, Ry Sloth, visits our school







On, Wednesday, February 16, author Ry Sloth visited our elementary.  He shared his love of sports, especially football!  The kids loved to see his old jerseys and helmets from the Cyclones and Barnstormers.  He talked with the kids about dreaming big and not giving up!  Everyone needs to keep trying to find what they are good at.  He shared his rough draft of his book that he wrote in High School, and explained to the kids the changes and editing that has been done through the years to publish his book, Sammy Sloth Sport Superstar.  He shared why he chose the animals he did, and family members names that he used.  After reading his book to us, he encouraged the kids to use their imaginations as they too can become authors!  Then kids had a chance to buy his book, and Ry autographed it for them.
