Exciting Author Visit at Roan School!
Student in grades 3â5 were excited to welcome Rachel Smalley to Roan School! Rachel Smalley is a children's author, former elementary teacher, and literacy advocate from Dalton. She is the author of the book, TUFTED: The Stitch & Story of Catherine Evans Whitener.
TUFTED tells the true story of Catherine Evans Whitener, a young woman from Northwest Georgia whose creativity and determination helped spark the tufted textile industry that would eventually become such an important part of Daltonâs history.
During her visit, Rachel talked with the students about her writing process, why she chose to tell Catherineâs story, how the book developed, and the people and history that inspired it. She also read TUFTED alongside our students!
And the best part?...Our students won't just get to read and meet Rachel...they get to keep their very own copy of the book, TUFTED!
What a night at the Heritage Complex!

Roan School had lots of hands-on discovery, big smiles, and fun in Mr. Babb & Mrs. Allen Pre-K Classes.
Whether it's investigating pumpkins or crafting tasty treats, learning is always an adventure in the Pre-K classroom.
