Guest author, Bob Tomlinson

The 6th graders enjoyed hearing from local author Bob Tomlinson last week about his passion for writing.  Bob is a former physical education teacher here at Poynette, and he is the current head coach for the softball team.  He was also the sports editor for many years for the Poynette Press and was the creator of the Fastpitch Chronicle Newspaper that covered softball news on a global scale.  Many students were surprised to hear about how much writing Bob does and they enjoyed hearing some of his stories.  You can read some of his work here:
