Visiting Authors

Please click here for the current schedule.

The PTO is proud to support a comprehensive Visiting Authors program that brings authors, illustrators, poets, and playwrights into the classrooms.  The purpose of these visits are to encourage love of reading and writing by meeting published authors, introduce students to authors as positive role models, and provide insight into the process of writing and publishing a book. 

The committee researches and secures grants from various funding sources to enhance their programs.  Working closely with the principals and coordinating teachers, the committee recommends, reviews, and contracts authors for each grade level.
