OES Welcomes Visiting Authors

[Olney PTA]

FROM MRS. BRUNN in the Media Center:

Local author, Carol Liu, engaged and inspired students and teachers
alike in the media center last week as she spoke about differences,
disabilities, and the power of the pen. Carol gave three - 45 minute
presentations centered around her novel, Arlene on the Scene and on
the importance of self-image. Arlene on the Scene, for students in
grade 2-6, was written to raise much-needed awareness about the most
common hereditary neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, or CMT. All
earnings from the sale of the book will be donated to help people
living with CMT. If your child missed the deadline to buy an
autographed book, but after hearing the author would like to order a
copy, download the order form and return it to the media center by
this Thursday, May 17, 2012. Arlene On the Scene would be a great way
to begin summer reading!

Kindergarten, first, and second graders will meet author Michelle
Meadows on Friday, May 25th. We are looking forward to this visit, as
well! You can download her book order form in this week's Dragon
Tales.

Have a great day!
