2012 PTA Book Publishing
 
 
Children in Pre-K and Kindergarten will have their own book published. Parents have volunteered to type the stories and bind the books. For those of you with children in multiple grades, rest assured that all students are still participating in Book Publishing. We will be using a different process in grades 1-5 that does not require volunteers to type and bind.
