Levittown Middle School Students Dine With Popular Author

Holly Goldberg Sloan, author of “Counting By 7s,” met with Jonas E. Salk and Wisdom Lane middle school students as a culminating activity for the district’s Summer Reading Extravaganza.

The students selected to attend a breakfast or lunch with the popular writer were raffle ticket winners who had attended Summer Reading Extravaganza book discussions with Kerin Slattery, director of ELA, K-12. They also visited the Levittown Public Library over the summer, completed work on the district’s interactive website and/or volunteered as docents at the READ Showcase this fall.

During the activities, Sloan took a photo with individual students and signed their picture frames, so each had a personal memento. She also mentioned how impressed she was by the Summer Reading Extravaganza and that she wanted to be sure to meet with them prior to the start of her tour for her newly released book, “Short.”
