Mrs. Michele Weber Hurwitz, District 102 parent and author, visited Meridian Middle School fifth graders in May to discuss her recently published book, Calli Be Gold. 

Mrs. Hurwitz wrote the book when her own daughter Cassie, who is currently an eighth grader at Aptakisic, was in fifth grade.  Mrs. Hurwitz explained the writing process, how she comes up with her ideas, and encouraged students to "write what you know."  Thank you, Mrs. Hurwitz, for such a lively and fun presentation.
