Attendees at the open house expressed enjoyment and satisfaction verbally. Mr. Durbin expressed his pleasure with the project. Our principal visited with Mr. Durbin and spent part of one session with students. We were pleased that our superintendent visited to see the showcase of student enthusiasm and writing. Using the rubric to guide student writing and evaluation, students wrote at various level of accomplishment. The best measure of success is the excitement of our students for writing!
