Author Elizabeth Rusch explains a writing activity to fourth-graders at Hathaway School Elementary during a workshop last Tuesday. Rusch, a children's author, also conducted two assemblies for students. Her visit was paid for by a grant from the Washougal Schools Foundation and Hathaway Boosters' funding.
