I am excited to announce that Irving will be having a visit from a very famous author, Christopher Paul Curtis at 1:00 on Tuesday, January 24th.  He has written such books as The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 (Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Award book), Bud, Not Buddy (winner of Newbery Award), Mr. Chickee’s Funny Money and others.  His new book, The Mighty Miss Malone, is coming out in January.  This presentation and book signing will be for 4th and 5th grade classes only.  We will also be welcoming Longfellow’s 4th and 5th grade classes to hear the presentation with us.  An order form from Magic Tree Bookstore is going home this week for students to purchase books.  The form can also be found on the Irving Digital backpack.  Students who purchase a book will get it signed by Mr. Curtis.  Please return the order forms by Tuesday, January 17th.
Thanks!
Ms. Noonan-Teacher Librarian
