Dream big. It�s one of our Core Values at The ¾«Æ·Âé¶¹ School and one of the most powerful things early learning can inspire young children to do. At The ¾«Æ·Âé¶¹ School, we also build the educational foundation that can help our friends make those dreams a reality. Taelyn Gray, a former student at The ¾«Æ·Âé¶¹ School of Montgomeryville, is a shining example of just that. At 10 years old, Tae just published her first book, , an inspiring tale of self-belief and determination!

�The ¾«Æ·Âé¶¹ School instilled a love of reading and telling and sharing stories, which helped prepare me to become a young author,� she says.

  Literacy is a core component of our curriculum at The ¾«Æ·Âé¶¹ School, as research shows early literacy skills are a strong indicator of a child�s self-confidence and future success. By sharing her story, Tae is inspiring children everywhere to pursue their dreams and believe in themselves! Read more in our Q&A with Tae below.

It brings a sense of pride and accomplishment to have my work recognized and appreciated by others, especially my friends. TMS: Can you tell us a bit about your book, Grandma's Nuggets? TG: In the book, the main character, Tia, struggles with self-confidence and doubts her ability to win her first tennis tournament even though she knows how to play well. Fortunately, Tia�s grandma offers her some great advice that helps her believe in herself. TMS: What do you hope other children will learn from the book? TG: I hope this book will inspire children to believe in themselves and cherish their relationships with their grandparents. TMS: What sparked your passion for writing? TG: My passion for writing comes from a deep love of reading and a strong desire to share stories. In addition, writing can be a powerful tool for healing myself and others. TMS: What are your dreams for the future? TG: I plan to become a professional tennis player while continuing to write books. I also want to attend college and become a surgeon like my big brother, Trevell. Congratulations again, Taelyn � we�re extremely proud of you and can�t wait to see you continue to soar!
