On May 26, 2005, we held our annual Young Authors' Conference. Every student (K-5) published a book. On this special day each student had a chance to share his or her book with other students, parents, and teachers. This event was organized by our Young Authors' Day Committee.

Our day started out with a Performance of Ereth's Birthday, by Avi, adapted by David Quicksall:

Ereth and his friendsIn the afternoon of the 26th, all Arbor Heights students shared their books in small groups with children from other classrooms and grades. After that, there was an all-school recess and autographing party! Thanks to our PTSA for our beautiful "spray-dyed" T-shirts! Everyone got to design their own shirt! Then we got real busy signing them:
Signing just the right spot...
Colorful playground!
There's no more room to write...!
