Celia shows her Certificate of Congressional Recognition
The First Anual ACSD Young Writer’s Conference was held last Thursday, March 4, 2010 at Ross Elementary from 3:30 to 6:30. Writing and illustrations from students in the district were on display and several stories were chosen by The Imagination Station to be acted out in front of the audience. We have also selected three stories from the event to be posted on our Kidz Korner page so check them out.
A representative from Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez’s office attended the event as well and presented our very own author Celia Navejas with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition for her achievements. She’s overcome a writing disability to become a published author at age 11, inspired a Writer’s and Illustrator’s club at her former Elementary school, donated several copies of her book to support a Community Clean Up Day in Santa Ana, and has a scholarship fund created in her name to which Red Ant will donate $100 for every 500 books sold. The funds will go toward library supplies at Benjamin Franklin Elementary.
I’m really excited because at the 4th Annual Festival of Books I was invited to participate in a literacy event happening this Tuesday, March 2 at a school in Chino Hills. Short notice but I will get to read The Quiet Lion to more people. Yay! I’m getting better at doing the voices of the characters and I always love the questions from the students afterwards. Doesn’t hurt that they treat me like a famous person either!! Thank you Dawn. I’m looking forward to getting all the details!
Red Ant Publishing is participating in the 4th Annual Festival of Books put on by the Citizens for Kids Educational Foundation. The event is Sunday, February 28th from 9am to 3pm and will focus on reading and literacy. Money raised from the event will support the students of the Chino Valley Unified School District. Come join the fun! Binderson Hall, Chino Fairgrounds, 5410 Edison Ave, Chino CA
Congratulations to Tammy and Davey Ruiz on their newborn baby girl. Kalaya Celyn Ruiz arrived on January 24, 2010 at 8:13pm after 21 hours of labor. She was 7 lbs 7 ounces with some nice dark hair just like her dad’s!
You may be a momma now but you are still my favorite ‘Red Aunt’. Lots of love to your family.
