The junior high students participated in a "Google Meet the Author" with Nora Raleigh Baskin, the author of nine, ten: A September 11 Story, a book read by all students during their years at Washington School in Mrs. Zimmer's class. Students had a chance to hear the "why" behind her writing process and inspirations. Students were asked questions and provided the author with a few questions of their own about the book.
