Lessons in being silly

In songs, stories Gill teaches kids, parents without them realizing it

White Oak Elementary School’s gymnasium was transformed into a swimming pool, trampoline and dance hall to accommodate children’s author Jim Gill’s visit on Friday.

Children in the Grundy County Preschool Program, which includes students from Morris Elementary, Saratoga and Nettle Creek school districts, were treated to a concert by Gill himself at the school. The popular author’s visit was made possible through the state grant that pays for the Grundy County Preschool Program.
