Winn-Dixie is a favorite novel to
read in Mrs. Stewart's third-grade classes at Holland Elementary School.
It is a heartwarming story of Opal, a
lonely girl who befriends some interesting characters in her small town and
falls in love with a scruffy dog she encounters at the Winn-Dixie. The dog has
a mind of his own.
Mrs. Stewart's class was certainly
surprised to find that their substitute teacher was Miss Gloria Dump, a
character from the book!
They walked into their classroom to
find that it had been transformed into Miss Dump's backyard, complete
with a tree, a picnic lunch and an assortment of friends from the book to share
in the festivities.
Otis was there, playing his fiddle
for all to enjoy. Sweetie Pie and Opal had fun visiting with the kids and
enjoying egg salad sandwiches, sweet pickles, special punch and horehound
candies.
The pupils enjoyed having Miss Dump
and her friends visit for the day and were excited to share the fun with Mrs.
Stewart when she returned to school the next day …
