7th Annual Sandy Hormell Book Celebration
The 7th Annual Sandy Hormell Book Celebration culminates
with the arrival of young adult author Shelley Pearsall. The award-winning author will give a public presentation
at the Oxford Community Arts Center at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 20,
followed by a reception, book sale, and book signing at the Oxford Lane Library.
On Friday, the author will spend the day at Talawanda
Middle School. In addition to student
assemblies, she will facilitate a writing workshop for interested students. Talawanda Middle School students read Shelley
Pearsall’s book All of the Above as
an all-school read aloud and will discuss it before her visit with members of
the Miami University Kappa Delta Pi International Honor Society in Education.
Fifth graders in ETC classes at Bogan, Kramer, and
Marshall will discuss the book with community seniors from the Knolls and the
Miami University Institute for Learning in Retirement and enjoy lunch together
at the Knolls.
The
event honors Sandy Hormell, a longtime Talawanda and Miami employee, whose love
of books and education made her a beloved teacher and colleague. Although her life was claimed by ALS in 2004,
her love of reading lives on in this event.
