Smith expressing gratitude for his story and asked him questions about the book. This week all 4th graders received a personalized letter handwritten by V.J. Smith himself answering their questions! Thank you V.J. so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to write to our students! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #thankyou #elementary
