Dexter, Missouri - Students in Candice Averett's fourth grade class at Central Elementary in Dexter were asked to write an essay stating where they wanted to go for a field trip.

The purpose of the essay was to convince the rest of the class to vote for the best location each student wrote about.

One student went a step farther and decided to have a book bound and to donate the book entitled, "Best Field Trip Ever" to Keller Public Library children's section.

Tanner Massey is quite the writer himself and wanted to inspire other students to write.  His page was about seeing the infamous Pittsburgh Steelers, a professional football team.

When asked why he decided to have the book bound and placed at the library........."I wanted to inspire other students to write," commented Massey.  "And having the book at the library so others can see what we wrote."
