Redwood teacher Debra Long and her first grade class at Redwood Elementary have been announced as finalists in the 2022/23 National Book Challenge by Studentreasures Publishing.
For this honor, the class will receive a $50 gift card and each student will receive a published author certificate. Each of the first-grade authors were recognized for their contributions to the book, Kindness Makes the World Go ‘Round, which was published earlier this year a recognized in The Triplicate.
Mrs. Long’s class was inspired by acts of kindness when they created the kindness book.
First-grade authors put forth their best effort, researching, illustrating and writing about their Kindness book before submitting pages to be published.
Mrs. Long’s classbook was selected from over 75,000 entries submitted to Studentreasures.
Over the last 25 years, Studentreasures has helped over 16 million students become proud, published authors.
