These stories were written by 4th grade students from Mrs. Philo’s class in Karigon Elementary School.  The students took part in a writing project where they learned about journal writing, developing characters, elements of setting, dialogue, editing and revising.  They did a fantastic job and I hope they enjoy seeing their words published.  They are talented writers and I hope they will continue to write.  Their teacher, Mrs. Philo, was inspired by her niece to write a story and thought her class would enjoy reading it.
