Entertainer Jim Mitchell took a fun-filled approach to writing as he used comedy, volunteers and even his pet parrot Toby to entertain kindergartners and first-graders at Reinhard on Jan. 29.

Mr. Mitchell presented his interactive Writing Is Fun assembly to the students, telling them to make sure they have all the right parts to their story and know how to present it.  

The interactive program even brought the teachers to the stage to help convey Mr. Mitchell’s message. The program is designed to keep children entertained and engaged while learning at the same time.
