ConVal seniors Brielle Proctor and Ema Richardson are heading to the Educators Rising National Conference on June 20-23 in Portland, Ore. There, they will compete in the Children’s Literature category with their interactive book “Our Deep Blue Sea.” The picture book teaches elementary school students about the animals that live in the sea.
