Conference Updates, December 13
Author events are winding down, but new conference information is still pouring in! I will continue to update these through the holidays.
Local Events
If you are near the Champions area, you might want to stop by the Barnes & Noble. This week they are hosting three school book fairs:
Today: Yeager Elementary
Yeager Elementary students, parents and faculty join us for an evening of music, fun and excitement as they present special events throughout the evening. Enjoy opportunities for special Storytimes and a concert from the Fifth Grade Honor Choir, led by music director Lisa Trewin. You will go home singing and looking for your holiday “SOCKS!”
Thursday: Haude Elementary
Spend an enjoyable evening attending events and browsing the store with students, parents, faculty and supporters. Plan to eat dinner here as a family or with friends, bring home a cheesecake, and complete your gift shopping list; there’s something for everyone! And the PTO will appreciate your support.
Saturday: Klein Forest High School UIL
Join the Klein Forest UIL Academics team and their sponsoring teachers as they forge their way through competition after competition. A showcase of team talent will be here with us today. Please show your support and community spirit so that they may further their quest for future success! Ask any Klein Forest representative how you can help support them as you visit the Café and shop in the store.
