Riley Thurston, a junior at Brewer High School, sits beside Brewer Community School first-grader Lauren and listens as she reads her story book during an assembly at the Brewer Performing Arts Center. Kate wrote a letter to BHS students enrolled in creative writing classes taught by Michelle Macdonald and Kevin Napolillo. Thurston transformed Lauren's letter into a story book in which Lauren is the main character, a famous ballerina.
