Today I crossed just north of the border into Oklahoma to spend the day with all the 3rd and 4th graders at Altus Elementary!

I met a bunch of young writers and future screenwriters—true superheroes in the school!

And I know where they get their inspiration . . . it was a treat to visit their superhero-themed library. Very cool!

Thanks to Mrs. Salafia for inviting me. Thanks to Mrs. Bishop for all the help. And the biggest thanks of all goes to all the great kids at Altus Elementary. Keep reading, keep writing, and don’t forget about Batman . . .

Today I had the honor of headlining Shadow Ridge Middle School‘s career day! I was one of many speakers who came in to tell the Shadow Ridge Panthers all about the different careers out there.

I met hundreds of energized students who had all kinds of inciteful questions. I hope the other speakers had as much fun as I did!

Thanks to Avery and Devon for the directions. Thanks to Precious for the fun One Piece talk. Thanks to Charles for not only asking a great question during my visit, but also being the first student brave enough to send me an email!

Thanks to Mrs. Hall for inviting me. Thanks to Mr. Gibson, Mr. Thakur, and Mrs. Sawyer for all the help.

And the biggest thanks of all goes to all the Shadow Ridge Panthers! I hope you were inspired by one of the speakers today. And if you were, remember the four words, “I Can Do That!”
