Saskatoon - Day 4
What a fantastic day. I spent the morning at North Park Wilson School with some keen students. This school is the site for the Willow Awards Gala tomorrow morning, and I could see some of the preparations going on. Phew! It looks like a lot of work to put together the ceremony, and I'm impressed at how the staff and students poured all their hearts into this event. It's great to see so many people caring about a young readers' choice award. I hope to win tomorrow, but I'll be happy with whoever takes the prize home.
In the afternoon, I chatted with the students at Silverspring. I think this was the largest group yet (350 students). The kids were awesome. I was really impressed with the quality of the writers. In the writing workshop, I heard some wonderful stories with excellent details. I also heard some fantastic ideas from the students.
All in all, I've been very impressed with the students on this Saskatoon tour.
Oh, and if you're wondering, my wife and I visited Yip Hong's restaurant last night. The food was authentic Chinese, but the service was slow. Oh well, life's not an adventure unless you get on the wrong road every now and then.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow's award!!!
