📚✨ Now Published: “When I Grow Up – Exploring Dreams in the Life Skills Classroom”
The Life Skills Classroom at Ramsay just became a team of published authors! With guidance from Miss Jaworski and support from the Viking Foundation, each student explored two future career paths through research, writing, and illustration. From career-matching quizzes to editing their final drafts, these students put in incredible work to create a book that celebrates their dreams and strengths.
On April 11, they walked the red carpet at a special Publishing Party and proudly shared their stories with family and friends. Each student received their very own copy of the book—thanks to the generous support of the Viking Foundation.
We couldn’t be prouder of these young authors! 🖊️🎉
