Dear Wasco Families,
Wasco boasts a diverse array of talented kids eager to contribute to our learning community. Over the next weeks, I'll showcase some of their remarkable talents, fostering mutual understanding and appreciation for our unique contributions.
The first students I will feature are brother and sister Nyle and Anaya Kashif, who are published authors! When I interviewed them, they explained how they started writing their book long ago, when Anaya was in kindergarten (she is now in second grade). She told me it took a long time to get the book published. When I asked the pair about their process Nyle explained, “If you have a favorite thing, you can have it in your book. I have a favorite page that shows my car.”
Nyle and Anaya’s book, The Hand is Here to Help, is available on Amazon and in our Wasco School library. Also during our time together, I learned their grandfather is also a writer. Anaya shared that her grandfather enjoys writing and is “still” working on this 18th book. She thinks he has written 100 pages or more. I wonder if he has written even more than that!
We're grateful to our families for enriching our community with their traditions, talents, and values, which our students eagerly share with us. If you have a suggestion for a student to feature in upcoming articles, please contact me!
