Welcome to the Arbor Heights School
Young Authors' Conference 2003!

On May 21 and 22, 2003, 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 special guest this year was children's book author Janet Wong!

In the afternoon of the 22nd, all Arbor Heights students shared their books in small groups with children from other classrooms and grades. Then there was an all-school recess and autographing party! Thanks to our PTSA for our beautiful T-shirts! Everybody was busy signing each other's shirts:
