Cornerstone Family In the News

by Tonya Fennell of the Sedalia (MO) Democrat:


The next John Grisham or Mary Higgins Clark could be a Dresden elementary student.

Preschool through fifth-grade students participated in “I Love to Write Day” Monday with a variety of activities.

I Love to Write Day was started eight years ago by Delaware author John Riddle. According to ilovetowrite.org, Riddle started the writing day to have people of all ages practice their writing skills by writing a poem, an essay or a letter. Last year more than 20,000 schools across the country held special writing events to celebrate the day. Riddle said the possibilities on I Love to Write Day are endless because someone could start a novel, finish a novel or write a love letter.
