Author Visits Spring Lake Elementary in Payson

On March 29th the third through sixth grade students at Spring Lake Elementary received a special visit from author Thomas R. William. Mr. Williams is the author of The Adventures of Dod, The Dark Hood and the Lair.  The author donated hundreds of Adventures of Dod books to Spring Lake through the Ken Garff Road to Success Program last fall. The students in grades three through six were challenged to read the book by the end of February. In all, 89 students completed the hefty 24 chapter adventure which is the first in the series. One student from each of the four grades received their own copy of the second book. The assembly, which focused on writing, helped encourage students to be good writers and pursue their own dreams in life. Mr. Williams then spent time autographing the students’ copies of his book.
