Thanks to the generosity of HP Arts, author Chris Barton visited 5 of our HPISD campuses: Armstrong, Bradfield, Hyer and UP Elementaries, along with McCulloch Intermediate School. In 3 days he reached almost 2,000 students through his “Write What You’d Love to Learn” presentation and with a Writing Workshop with a group of MIS 5th graders. One Bradfield 4th grader, David DeVega, gave a great review: “I liked how much personality Mr. Barton had and how energetic he was. I think I will become a better author and a better reader because of him.” At the MIS campus, students helped Mr. Barton celebrate his 100th school visit of the 2016-17 school year. Mr. Barton recently left his corporate job to become a full time author, much like the engineer, Lonnie Johnson, in Barton’s new book,  Whoosh!, which is a the 2017-18 Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee.
 
 
Mr. Barton has written many titles for all ages including The Nutcracker Comes to America, Shark vs. Train, The Day Glo Brothers and 2016-17 Bluebonnet Nominee, The Amazing Age of John Roy Lynch, just to name a few. He lives in Austin with his dog Ernie, 4 children and wife, Jennifer Ziegler, author of theRevenge of the Flower Girls series.

 Thanks to a generous gift by HP Arts, the Bradfield second grade students enjoyed a visit from renowned children's author David Adler on Tuesday. Mr. Adler writes the popular series Cam Jansen Mysteries among other fiction and non-fiction titles. The students were super engaged with Mr. Adler and had the opportunity to ask him questions about his books and the writing process. Several students were asked to participate in his presentation as he talked about what inspires his stories. Above all, students left the presentation with a greater appreciation of what makes a interesting story. Mr. Adler encouraged the students that they all have a story to tell and can be wonderful writers! Again, special thanks to HP Arts for funding this visit from Mr. Adler. It was a memorable visit that is sure to inspire our Broncos to be fantastic writers and voracious readers. Support HP Arts at www.hparts.org.
