The Apex ES visiting author program gives students the opportunity to hear from and speak with authors of the very books they're reading. Order forms will be sent home before the author makes his or her visit, and any books ordered through the program will be signed to your child by the author his or herself! Questions about this program? Contact our chair, Ursula Fagerstrom.
