On Tuesday, December 12th, a team of local business professionals donated their time to participate in a Writing Gallery Walk at DES.

Beginning at the kindergarten classrooms, the team looked at writing from all students in grades K-6. Student representatives from each class met with the team and answered questions about the writing process and what they had learned about their topics.
