Shannon Primary students welcomed a special guest to their school, who shared a book and spent some imagination time with each grade!

Retired teacher and now children's book author Beverly Gunter of Pontotoc is the author of several books. With kindergarteners (pictured), Ms. Gunter read aloud An Unlikely Pair as students in the group "became" characters from the book. Moo like a cow, squeal like a pig.. you get the idea! 😆

A portion of the proceeds from her books goes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and are in memory of Sadie Downs. Sadie was a member of the Mooreville High Class of 2024. She passed away earlier this year from cancer.

We thank Ms. Gunter for remembering Sadie and for sharing time with our students at Shannon Primary and in the district.
