Patton Students Published!

Back in September, students in Mr. Kelley's Creative Writing classes looked to re-imagine the Verdi opera Don Carlo as a middle grade (MG) story. And this week, almost 8 months after they began the process, their book "QWERTY", written collaboratively by the students, is on sale at Amazon.com! All royalties come back to our middle school's Student Council--benefactor of the project--and will continue to forever. It is our goal to at least generate the initial money Student Council invested in our project so that we can repeat the project for many years to come. Buy your copy of the book today at: http://amzn.com/1505712661 and find out more about this outstanding student project right here.
