Chana Stiefel Author Presentation!
Thursday, June 4th
Author Chana Stiefel will present to the Wantagh Elementary School!
The PARP Committee of the Wantagh Elementary School PTA is proud and excited to announce that the Author Assembly has been rescheduled....virtually! Author Chana Stiefel will be presenting to the children on June 4th. The presentation will be "A Recipe for Writing Success." The author will be talking to the kids about how writing is like baking--collecting ingredients, mixing everything together, waiting, adding frosting and...celebrating! (Sometimes you have to dump it all and start again--and that's ok! It makes you a better chef.)
