On Saturday, November 19 BCD is hosting a visit from well known author Kathryn Lasky.  She is the author of the popular Guardians of Ga’Hoole series that was recently made into a movie Legends of the Guardians.  Our connection with Ms. Lasky is through parent, John Orloff who adapted her books for the movie Legends of the Gaurdians.

In preparation for her visit, several grades have been learning about owls, spiders and wolves which are the topics of many of her books.  In addition, students have learned more about her as a person and her interest in writing.  It has been a great opportunity to illustrate how we can pursue our passions.

This Friday, as a kick off event, the Parents Association will be showing the movie Legends of the Gaurdians at Family Movie Night.  The movie will be shown at 6:30 p.m. in the Furey Hall Music Room.  So come in your jammies, bring a blanket and join us for popcorn and a movie.

Ms. Lasky will be on campus Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. to give a presentation on her work.  The presentation will be Fitzpatrick Hall.  To learn more about Kathryn Lasky, visit her website:  www.kathrynlasky.com/KK/Home.html

We are fortunate to have Kathryn Lasky visit with us and I hope that you all will be able to attend.
