Every kid becomes a character at Drew Central Elementary

Drew Central is home of the Pirates, so I made up a story where every kid was a character, dealing with a whale that was spouting kool-aid.

MONTICELLO, Ark. — The Reading Roadtrip took us to the land of the tall pine trees--Monticello.

Drew Central is the home of the Pirates, so I made up a story where every kid was a character, dealing with a whale that was spotted spouting kool-aid. 

Then, we stopped second-graders on their way to the lunchroom, where they were serving dinosaur barbecue, french fried frogs, and sauerkraut cookies. 

Open books lead to open minds, my friends. 

If you want a lesson in dreaming big, call Drew Central.
