Writer and Artist, Mary Phillips visited our Pigeon River Pottery on Friday for a signing of her book “Booger”, a nature book. Mary says that she had 2 goals with writing her book; teach kids not to have bad habits and to learn about and respect nature.

A teacher from Country Oaks Elementary School in Commerce Township, MI, Ms. Lewalski, visited with Mary and Wild Rose Begonia while in town on her spring break. Ms. Lewalski is a 4th grade teacher at Country Oaks and was very excited to get a personal tour of the book from Mary, where she learned all about the special places and characters to show her class when she returned to school. Ms. Lewalski was also excited to learn that she was going to be a star on our blog and couldn’t wait to show her class!

Ms. Lewalski also posed for a picture with Mary and Wild Rose Begonia, but sadly it did not come out, sorry class

So, here is a shout out to Ms. Lewalski’s 4th Grade Class at Country Oaks in Commerce Township, MI from Pigeon Forge, TN!!
