SHELTON Author Dan Santat has spent years writing award-winning children’s books that are read in classrooms across the country. Now one local first-grade class gets to write to him.
Kristen Zack’s class at Elizabeth Shelton School won the Write to Connect contest sponsored by Follett School Solutions and that lucky break made them one of 10 classrooms from across the United States to have the chance to connect with Santat.
