Special Events

Literary Lights
By Janaiya

Literary Lights is the time when kids all over Boston present authors with a special speech at the Boston Public Library. It is very hard to present an author for Literary Lights. This event only happens once a year. Each kid that gets picked writes a speech for the person they are presenting. Well just to let you know, one of our 8th graders was picked for Literary Lights…. Her name is Rachel Kalombo. As a MCA student I am very proud to present her, because she did an amazing job at Literary Lights.

Rachel got picked by Ms.Stechmann. I would like to give a big thanks to Ms.Stechmann, for picking one of our students from MCA to present. Rachel really didn’t expect it she was very happy to get picked. Rachel thought it was not hard making her speech. She said because it was based on the author’s book it was not that hard. Rachel thinks the authors’ books are very interesting, because her books are mostly about girls as heroes. Rachel’s author was Karen Hesse. She thought Karen was nice. Karen even gave Rachel a gift. She gave her a journal with a poem in it called Rachel. The ceremony turned out to be nice. All the presenters did a good job. And Rachel did a very good job representing at the Literary Lights. It turned out to be very professional.

Well that’s all today; see you next time with more special events. This is your reporter Janaiya Green on Events/Special occasions. See you next time :^)!
