We recently welcomed accomplished author, Jeff Alt, to share with our students information about his books. History came alive for grades K-4 as they explored our national parks with time traveling Bubba Jones and his sister Hug-a-Bug, the main characters in Alt’s National Park book series, ”The Adventures of Bubba Jones.” Students especially enjoyed participating in several short interactive skits. Grades 5-8 had a more mature version of what Jeff Alt experienced while walking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. They heard about his motivation for walking the trail, the preparation, how he accomplished the endeavor, and his encounters with nature's friends. Thank you to Jeff Alt for sharing your adventure and knowledge of National Parks. Also, a special thank you to all who supported our extra book fair in the fall to make this visit possible.
