Kelley Armstrong Author Visit

Tuesday June 11th is coming up. We are getting out in the sunshine, with your friends, and heading to the Central City Library to meet and mingle with Canadian author Kelley Armstrong!

She has a reading prepared, discussion and sharing, and we get to wander the fabulous new facilities so you can pick-up some new reads for yourself.

What you need to do:
1.) Get your permission form signed and turned in ASAP
2.) Notify your period 3/4 teachers and get your school form signed, and return to Ms. Bertrand
3.) Find your go-card and gather $3.50-$5.00 for transportation
4.) Percolate your questions and any new reads you want to explore at the library and check-out

It's going to be a great day gang!
