Meet the instructors: Mrs. Sutton has been teaching ELA at the Oliver W. Winch Middle School for twenty years. She enjoys all kinds of genres, especially graphic novels! Some of her first graphic novels read include: “The New Kid” and “Hey There, Kiddo,” not to mention some of the ‘old school’ graphic novels such as “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Bad Kitty,” which she used to read with her son!
