Lucy Martin signs her book under the pen name Priscilla Quill March 31 at her book launch at the Lexington Public Library.
LEXINGTON — Over 60 people showed up to the Lexington Public Library March 31 for the book launch of "Priscilla Quill's Treasury of Animal Stories."
Priscilla Quill is the pen name of 12-year-old Lucy Martin.
Lucy explained how she came up with her pen name.
"My Aunt Jeanne calls me Priscilla a lot, I don't really know why," she said. "And my name is LM in the alphabet. So I thought I needed a last name that starts with a Q, then it would kind of match Lucy Martin."
She decided to go with Quill because it sounded nice and it incorporated her writing.
Martin is a home-schooled seventh grader who lives on a farm outside Lexington, where she draws inspiration to write from her siblings and animals on the farm.
She has written three stories — "On a Misty Day," "Furry Bandits" and "Shony's Story" — that are collected in the treasury book.
"On a Misty Day" is about a family cat that had a litter of gray kittens.
"I really liked them," Lucy said. "They were really funny, so that kind of inspired that one."
Lucy said "Furry Bandits" is about a raccoon, and she found inspiration from her sister.
"We have a mulberry tree in our ditch and Felicity went out to go pick mulberries," she said. "And there were two baby raccoons in the tree. So I decided to write a story about that."
"Shony's Story" is about their family pony that she and her siblings like to ride.
"We come from a family of horses," Lucy said. "So we have ponies and horses and stuff that kind of inspired that story."
She said writing stories is really fun.
"I like doing different funny parts that only I knew what they meant or parts my family knew," she said. "There a couple quotes in the 'Shony's Story' about a horse from a movie that our family enjoys."
Her family has always supported her writing, and her siblings like her stories, she said. "They are always begging me to read them to them."
Her mother, Elissa, helped her during the publishing process, and her father, Patrick, encouraged her through everything.
Lucy said she started writing at the age of 10.
"They weren't the best," she said of her early efforts. "They were just little stories that little kids have in their brains. But I was 11 when I started writing 'On a Misty Day.'"
Her friend Lillian VanZandt was the illustrator of "Priscilla Quill's Treasury of Animal Stories."
"Lillian illustrated my book before I even knew I was going to get it published," Lucy said. "I asked her because she's so good at drawing. She said, 'Yeah, that would be awesome.'"
Martin said Lillian sent the pictures back, and Don Batie scanned them for her so they wouldn't be "fluffy" when they were reprinted.
As for her editor, Martin said that was kind of a funny story.
While the Martin family was in Pocatello, Idaho, visiting Dr. Jason West, he asked the kids what they all wanted to be when they grew up.
"I told him that I would like to be a veterinarian and an author," she said. "And Dad said, 'She's already wrote a couple of stories.' Then Dr. West was, like, 'I have an author friend that helps people publish books.'"
Lucy said she and West took a video together and he sent it to Michelle Prince.
"So we got connected, and she had just moved from Texas to Nebraska," Martin said. "We had lunch together and she said, 'Yeah, we can get these published.'"
The young author is thrilled to continue her writing journey.
"I'm continuing the story of 'Furry Bandits', and I have a couple others that I've been writing," she said.
"I write more about animals and from their perspective. So it's all first person," she said. "I've tried to write a few that were not, and they were just really hard for me to write."
Lucy gave inspiring advice to other young writers.
"If they have the ability, if they really have it, in their brain, and they want to do it," she said. "All they have to do is pursue it."

CPS reformats after-school and preschool programs, raises tuition
Karmen Morse is the Lunch Program and Afterzone director at Cozad Community Schools. She said that Afterzone's tuition rates raise is due to the loss of the 21st Century Grant.
The Cozad Board of Education decided March 16 to reformat the Cozad Early Education Center and raise tuition.
The decision came after the board had already decided that Afterzone, the elementary after-school program, would also need to raise its prices.
Superintendent Dan Endorf said that reaching these decisions was difficult but necessary, and that the board and teachers put a lot of thought into whether to raise tuition.
Cozad Afterzone Director Karmen Morse said Afterzone's price increase stemmed from the district's refusal of the 21st Century Grant, which had been utilized for Afterzone for the last decade.
The grant provided the program with $57,600 a year but came with additional guidelines and rules in addition to those Afterzone already follows with its DHHS licensing.
Endorf said the school spent $80,000 on Afterzone in addition to the grant funds. After the board, Morse and Endorf looked at the grant regulations, they decided it would be better for the program if the grant was rejected and tuition was raised.
"Many after-school programs across Nebraska folded," Endorf said. "They terminated. We worked with our school board, with special compliments to Karmen Morse, to reformat our Afterzone program to look like it did a decade ago, to near the program that was in place 10 years ago before the 21st Century Grant and its accompanied rules and regulations came about."
The new tuition price for a student who qualifies for free and reduced meals is $15 for half a day (five or fewer hours) and $20 for a full day (10 hours).
For students who do not qualify for free and reduced meals, tuition is $20 for a half day and $30 for a full day — $150 a week for full-time students.
These tuition rates will go into effect June 1 with the start of summer Afterzone.
Morse and Endorf said tuition had to be raised so the program would not meet an untimely fate like other Nebraska after-school programs that have closed due to budgetary issues.
By raising the tuition, they hope to offset the funds lost by the 21st Century Grant.
At this time, no scholarships are available for those who cannot afford the price changes, but Morse said the program accepts child subsidies. She said she's heard talk of possible scholarships.
The Kosman Foundation and the Wilson Foundation also donate to the Afterzone program.
Morse said the overall curriculum and structure of the Afterzone program will not be affected by the loss of the grant, but without the grant, the program can reduce staff.
She said ultimately the number of summer staff members will depend on how many students enroll.
"I think our biggest thing is we have brought in a lot of the different activities in the community," Morse said about what sets Afterzone apart from regular child care. "We work with Wilson Public Library and they create special groups for ours because we usually have so many kids. Also, this summer they're looking at doing an art program through the Haymaker Creative Art District."
In the past, Afterzone has taken kids to the Cozad Splash Pad as well in the summer, and Morse said they plan to continue this on Fridays. The program also participates in the Summer Meals Program and provides snacks.
This year, the Afterzone program runs from June 1 to July 31 for kindergarten through fifth-grade Cozad students and overlaps with Cozad Elementary's Jumpstart summer school. Having the two programs overlap allows students to easily transition from one to the other during the day.
"The last two years, during the summer, we have done career exploration with the kids and have brought in speakers and done different activities," said Morse. "I think we give a little bit more of a learning opportunity for our students as compared to maybe a child care, just because we still use a lot of, and implement a lot of what we've done when we were part of 21st Century."
The deadline for Summer Afterzone enrollment is May 1. Morse said the program has experienced a 50% decline in attendees during the school year. Last year's Summer Afterzone averaged 60 kids per day, and she fears that number will decrease by half as well.
"Karmen has been the steadying force in our Afterzone program," Endorf said, "since long before my arrival in Cozad."
At the March 16 board meeting, the board voted to raise tuition at the preschool as well, leaving people wondering what the 2026-2027 school year will look like for Cozad's youngest students.
Cozad Early Education Center has increased its rates from $265 to $300 and has decreased its classroom time from a five days to four days a week.
This decision was made upon preschool teachers' recommendation.
"Jacque Yocom is a long-tenured, very respected teacher in the district," said Endorf. "And she was one of our three preschool teachers. She retired. She announced her retirement, so that precipitated the need to look at changes to the program."
Endorf said that while looking into how to adapt for two preschool teachers instead of three, he discovered that the preschool hadn't had an assessment in a while. So he and the preschool teachers looked at other preschools in Nebraska to decide what to do.
"Mrs. Yocom explained to me personally a number of issues associated with the program, and then I brought together some board members and the teachers, and we talked extensively about ways to make the program more contemporary and similar to other schools in the area," Endorf said.
The preschool teachers gave a presentation to the school board at the meeting, breaking down the program's history, how it currently functions and how they thought it should evolve.
They believed that a four-day week would be beneficial for students as well as teachers.
The teachers said that currently, 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds are all in the same classroom. That leads to problems because children of different ages are in different developmental stages.
Many of the children are not potty-trained, and having all the ages together is making it harder for the older students to get ready for kindergarten.
Going down to four class days a week will give the teachers Fridays to plan lessons, clean toys, attend trainings and do laundry.
Though 3-year-olds are not being given priority at the preschool after the board's approval of the reformat of the program, Cozad Early Childhood Education is still adhering to Rule 11 in regard to special education.
Nebraska Rule 11 and Rule 51 state that 3-year-olds with verifiable disabilities must have access to free, appropriate and inclusive preschool education.
These rules make sure that children with disabilities are not discriminated against and are given extra resources so that they can be educated with their non-disabled peers.
Disabilities are verified through the use of Individualized Family Service Plans for children from birth to age 3 and Individualized Education Programs for those 3 and older.
The number of hours a student with disabilities attends preschool is determined by their IEP team, so some students could be part of the program for only a few hours a day.
According to the presentation by the preschool teachers at the meeting, Broken Bow, Holdrege, Hershey, Grand Island, Elm Creek, Brady, Sutherland and Lexington all have half-day Monday through Thursday programs. The only other full-day program in the area is in North Platte, which is also a Monday through Thursday program.
"No matter how you look at it, nobody has it on Fridays," said Endorf. "And when you think about it, the age and maturity of 3- and 4-year-olds, five days a week, all day, every day, that's a lot. When Mrs. Yocom brought this to my attention, I learned in a hurry that we were an aberration. We were not the norm."
For the 2026-2027 school year, the Cozad preschool's first priority for enrollment will be 4-year-olds with IEPs living in the school district, then 3-year-olds with IEPs living in the school district. Four-year-olds without IEPs who live in the school district will be given third priority, followed by 5-year-olds who turn 6 on or after May 1 who are living in the district.
The change to a four-day week has left some parents concerned about what to do with their children on Fridays.
Endorf said the school is aware of this and that a preschool advisory meeting was held to discuss whether local child care providers could take on students for a single day a week. He said that at this time, other facilities, like Cozad Childcare, are unable to meet this demand.
Nebraska law does not require schools to offer preschool or after-school programs. Students are not legally required to attend preschool to attend kindergarten.
Endorf said that both the Cozad preschool and Afterzone are programs the school wants to keep to help serve the community, but to do so, changes had to be made.
For more information about the preschool, contact Endorf at 308-784-2745. For Afterzone enrollment or inquiries, contact Karmen Morse at the elementary school office, 308-784-3462.
