Recently, Brockbank Elementary students grades third thru sixth participated in an assembly featuring the popular fiction series of Michael Vey written by bestselling author Richard Paul Evans. In conjunction with the Books Rock! Tour, Mr. Evans’ friend and educational partner Doug Osmond visited with students to not only promote literacy but to share skills in how to succeed in life. Mr. Osmond shared the following principles of success with the students:
1. First: shut off the TV, including video games.
2. Second: Read, read, read, read. “Readers are the leaders!”
3. Third: We should be willing to work for whatever we want.
4. Fourth: Work hard! Learn to love work. Life is a lot of hard work and if you learn to love work, you will love life.
5. Fifth: Don’t let someone else’s opinion of you become your reality. Rise from your failures and move on! Mr. Osmond played a game show quiz with students to test their knowledge of what they know about several popular books. The students really enjoyed it!
