Amanda and Scarlett Radke inspired many young authors by sharing their journey as writers about rural life, encouraging students to set meaningful goals in life—whether that’s writing books or pursuing other dreams. Their words resonated deeply, showing students that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. This memorable event would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community. A huge thank you to Julie Trask, Seth Hubert, Cammack Ranch Supply, and Farm Credit for sponsoring Amanda’s visit to our Rural Schools! We also extend our gratitude to Julz Dream for the generous donation of books, which will continue to inspire our students for years to come. Special thanks to Rural School Librarian Shelane Graham for organizing this event, gathering donations, planning an author study of all 9 books, and hosting the Radkes for the day in rural Meade County. Also, thanks to all our teachers for their flexibility and willingness to adjust schedules to ensure students could attend. Amanda and Scarlett’s enthusiasm and dedication to sharing their love of rural life have left a lasting impression on our students and staff alike. Visit https://amandaradke.com.
