We were very lucky to have had the famous author Anne Bowen at our school today!  She talked about “What Good Writers Do!”

THE COOL THING she is a UTAH Gal!!! At the age of 22, Anne traded hills for mountains, and moved to Utah to begin her teaching career.  She married her husband, Art, and has lived in Ogden for the past thirty years.  Anne has two grown sons, six grandchildren, one grand-puppy, and two senior golden retrievers. The amazing thing is all the advice she was giving us, we have been doing in class…The kids were so excited!  They loved that they had a connection with her and that they do what she does!   I loved that she reinforced what Mrs. Peterson and I have been preaching to the kids too!
