A Cache of Stories
by Springhurst Students

This is a collection of short stories, written by the students of Springhurst. The stories all have a treasure-hunting theme. The young authors were between the ages of 4 and 11 years old when they wrote these stories in February 2002. We hope that you will enjoy reading them! Each of the stories and accompanying illustrations appear in a hardback book published for the families of Springhurst.

As part of this project, the older students prepared a geocache for our friends at Lake Forest Park Montessori. The geocache, which we also named A Cache of Stories, is available for other geocachers to find. You can see the geocache page at geocaching.com.
