Kent Library Update
Author Visit
On Monday, after a year of planning, Kent welcomed Alan Gratz, author of Refugee, our All School Read. He was well worth the wait! Alan started the day with guest appearance on the Kent Falcon News, and continued the day with two engaging assemblies, book signing, lunch with the students who entered our essay contest, and some Q and A sessions with each grade level. He was filled with energy and enthusiasm, offering advice to young writers, and inspiring all of us to read his many books (all of which are available in the Kent Library).
I'd like to offer a huge thanks to the KSPTA for funding a generous grant to make this possible. We are already planning for our next All School Read – The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (young reader's edition). Buy your copy at The Book Passage today (and don't forget to mention Kent) to be ready for next year!
