Elementary students show off published books at Support Center parent night

A publishing dinner and parent night was held at Coats Elementary School for Harnett County third-, fourth- and fifth-graders taking part in the Campbell University School of Education & Human Sciences’ Community Collaborative Support Center.

The students — from Dunn, Coats, Buies Creek and Erwin Elementary School — revealed their authored books to their parents and family members at the event. The center’s literacy program focuses on promoting and improving reading skills.

The program offered a special “thank you” to Margarete Ford, Tinesha Holmes, Mary Bethea and Campbell University’s Teacher Education students. The project’s director is Dr. Terrie Hampton-Jones.
