Meeting a real author can be the moment a child decides they're a writer too. Aldrich Elementary wants to bring children's author Justin Colon, creator of The Quacken, Impossible Possums, and The Zombees, to visit the school.
Students will see how the books they love are made and be inspired to tell stories of their own. The visit ties in with this year's school theme, Create What's Next!, and with CKLA, the district's new reading and writing curriculum.
For $1,000, you can give all 480 Aldrich students a day with an author.
Project Cost: $1,000
