On Monday, October 27th, Andy Stanton paid a visit to the school.  Author of the Mr. Gum series and resident of London, Andy is in Toronto to take part in Harbourfront’s International Authors Series.  We were fortunate to have Scooter Girl, a fun book and toy store for children, approach the school to arrange for Andy’s visit.

Students in Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 were delighted to meet Andy Stanton, whose five books have caught their imaginations and kept them laughing.  If possible, Andy’s reading was more absurd and magical, even, than his books.  The children were thrilled by his large-than-life personality, and his dramatic and comedic talents, and awed by his ability to remember the real name of the girl whom most people refer to as Polly.

Thank you to Andy Stanton for creating a magical afternoon for our students, to Scooter Girl, for making his visit possible, and to Andy’s publisher, who came along for the visit!
