Mark Saturday, February 25, 2012 on your calendars as the date for the 2012 Young Authors’ Conference! 

This writing conference is held annually for students in grades 4 to 9 at F.R. Haythorne Jr. High School.  Each year over 370 selected students from both Elk Island Public and Elk Island Catholic Schools are invited to spend the day with a variety of well-known children and young adult authors, illustrators and graphic artists; working with them and learning "tricks of the trade".
