West Carroll Primary Students Dedicate Book to Fallen Classmate

McLEMORESVILLE (May 5) — West Carroll Primary School's Literacy Night on May 5 began with a book dedication ceremony led by the second grade class.

Under the guidance of Karen Talley, second grade students worked together to write and illustrate a book featuring their own imaginative stories, titled "The Fun and Strange Tales from the Halls of the WCP."

The class chose to dedicate their book to their beloved classmate, Atticus Ecker, whom they lost during their kindergarten year.

Principal Jackie Wester presented Atticus Ecker's parents, Blair Sage (Skyler) and Jacob Ecker (Ashley), with a copy of the book.

"What an honor and so sweet that this group of children carry him with them even now… and forever," Sage said. "We are so grateful."

Literacy Night continued, with students eagerly working toward their goal of reading 100 books before the school year ends.
