The Inlander’s publisher goes back to elementary school

In December, Inlander Publisher Ted McGregor visited Mrs. Maher’s third grade class at Roosevelt Elementary and found some promising future writers. He’d been invited after writing in our 20th Anniversary issue that maybe the whole thing got started 20 years before the first issue, when he was a third grader at Roosevelt writing about the adventures of Secret Agent Toothpaste.

This week, Spokane Public Schools posted a nicely shot and edited video about his visit that should give hope to anyone who fears kids these days aren’t learning how to write well.
