From the time she was old enough to talk, Katy Newton Naas has been creating characters and telling stories. As a child, they sometimes got her into trouble.

Sleeping in the Storm

I just started year fourteen of my teaching career – year ten with the NCOE school district. As everyone knows, nothing about this year is “normal.” I have to admit, the usual excitement I feel at the beginning of the year has been tainted with fear – both of the virus, and of the unknown.
