Summary
A Washington Elementary 5th grader was recognized as the MAPS student spotlight for authoring the 'Square Cat' series and helping create student-generated books in the school library; the student said the series is intended to "encourage people to face their fears."
Anne Hegarty, introduced as the principal of Washington Elementary, brought a fifth-grade student forward for the district's MAPS student spotlight.
Hegarty described the student's books and the Lighthouse team work that made student-generated books available in the school library.
