Authors Authors Everywhere

We are thrilled to have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR amazing and incredible authors joining us in May. I’ll hold off talking about our ‘One-Day-Special’ with Margi Preus in this post and focus on the three talented folk delighting us for a whole week from May 11th-May 15th.

The authors joining us are: Drumroll Please…

It will be a busy, productive and enriching week for our young people having access to so many opportunities for growth; not to mention that it is also our China Alive week. We have many of the author’s books for sale, which is a great chance to get an autographed copy for your child or as a gift.

Here are the Books for Sale, they are available in the Elementary Library.

Wow… SO MUCH CAKE

We had a whopping FIFTY entries this week, for our 2nd and 3rd grade Books To Eat Competition. (Oh, and I use that term loosely, every entrant gets a certificate with some award named such as ‘Purplest Frosting Award’, ‘Spottiest Entry Award’ ‘I just want to gobble you up Award’…) It is great fun making up the awards for the kids.

Thank you to all the teachers, parents and especially the students who make this competition so much fun. Please take a minute (or 7) to view the entries from the first two Mondays of Books to Eat 2015 and I look forward to some delicious treats on Monday April 27th from our PreK, K and 1st grade students.
