Jayna is your typical fourth-grader. She enjoys gym class, English and reading. After school, she likes to play basketball and ride bike. She is active in 4-H participating in photography and food projects. J.K. Rowling — who wrote the Harry Potter Series — is her favorite author.
The old adage, “The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree” really holds true in Jayna’s case. Her father, an English teacher at NRHEG, just published his first book called “Heroics 101.” It is available on Amazon.com.
“Michelle and I are very proud of her interest in writing and undertaking such a project,” said Mark. “She loves to write and did this story without any incentive for completing it. As an English teacher, I know how important it is to develop writing and creativity, and Jayna has done that quite well!”
Domeier has received positive feedback on her book from her fellow students.
“Mrs. Thorstad read the book to my class and everyone seemed to like it,” said Domeier.
Jayna’s teacher Lanae Thorstad also had some words of praise for her student/author.
“It did not surprise me when Jayna told me she was writing a book because she is so self-motivated,” said Thorstad. “She loves to read and write and challenges herself with both. She is an inspiration to me as I have always wanted to write a book but haven't fulfilled that dream. I have it on my bucket list, and to think she's already accomplished that goal. I can only guess what lies ahead in Jayna’s writing career!”
When asked if she planned to write another book, Jayna replied “Probably, but it will be after a while.”
