The first year of the combined Young Authors’ Conference and Next Gen Robotics event for P-H-M elementary students was a HUGE SUCCESS! See the full photo gallery below.

 

The combined “Books and Bots” event was held this past Saturday, March 2 at one location, Penn High School.

 

There were a record number 283 registrants and their families.

 

Great job by Candi Cussen for organizing the “Books” portion and to Jessie Kinney for coordinating the “Bots” portion. A big THANK YOU also to our celebrity children’s author Carolyn Crimi who wowed the students by sharing her storytelling techniques; and to Northpoint teacher Jocelyn Dupuis, who dressed up as a pirate and read Crimi’s “Henry & the Buccanneer Bunnies.”

 

Thank you to our sponsors P-H-M Education Foundation and Better World Books and to all the attendees who donated 179 gently used books to Better World Books. Our gratitude also goes to Dr. and Mrs. Thacker’s matching #GivingTuesday gift made it possible for this year’s event to be FREE for all attendees!
