Ten fourth graders in Meghan Lucas' class at Emily Brittain Elementary School recently completed a writing assignment about someone they admire on the staff.

Their teacher wanted to challenge them with the question, “Which staff member has character or personality traits you admire?”

The essays are being displayed in the hallways at the elementary school so other people can read the work, and maybe guess who!

The students share what they wrote below.
