Former Staff Member Reads New Book to Students

On April 11, Teresa “Tee” Argenbright, former staff member and parent of Leslie ’11 and Kyle ’09, visited campus to read her newest book, Charlotte and Penelope and the Neighborhood Stage, to kindergarten and first grade students. Inspired by students who participated in the Lower School Talent Show from 1997 to 2001, Argenbright wrote a story that follows Charlotte and Penelope, who wake up too sick to play, so their trusty pals decide to put on a show.

Leading up to Argenbright’s visit, Head Librarian Tammy Wolford read her first book, Charlotte and Penelope and Their Magical Menagerie, so the students could get to know the characters. After sharing her new book, Agrenbright answered questions about becoming an author, her inspiration, why she started writing and more.
