Author Visit Lisa Graff October 8
As you probably know, we are reading The Thing About Georgie by Lisa Graff as a class read aloud right now! The kids beg me to read more chapters each day! We are so lucky to have author Lisa Graff come to Mann to talk about her books and the writing process on October 8th.

Magic Tree Bookstore will also provide us with books for her to sign for your child if you want to purchase one.

Please send in this form and a check, payable to MANN PTO, to the attention of Mrs. Rolfes by next Friday, 9/25th if you care to buy a book for your child. This purchase is completely optional and whether or not you choose to buy the book will have no impact on your child's experience with Lisa Graff.
