PTA Sponsored Author Visit from Angela Dominguez

ABOUT ANGELA DOMINGUEZ

Angela Dominguez was born in Mexico City and grew up in North Texas. She is also the author and illustrator of several books for children including the beloved Stella Díaz series. She is a New York Times Bestseller, Sid Fleischman winner, and a two-time Pura Belpré Illustration Honoree. Her books have garnered acclaim from the New York Public Library, Chicago Public Library, Best Picks from Amazon, and several State reading lists.

Her latest books include the third Lolo & Birdie book, I Want More! ¡Quiero más!, and Gabby Torres Gets a Billion Followers. Gabby is Angela’s debut into the world of comics and mischief.

Ms. Dominguez is a proud member of SCBWI, PEN America, and represented by Wernick and Pratt Literary Agency. As a child, she loved reading books and making a mess creating pictures.

We look forward to welcoming her!

If you placed an order for any autographed books, students will receive them after the visit concludes.

STEAM Fair - Family Station Sign Ups

 


National PTA’s STEM + Families initiative provides fun, hands-on experiences that allow elementary and middle school students to learn alongside their parents and caregivers. Our programs reinforce the value of family support for education while introducing new ideas, important skills and career possibilities related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

This year, we would like to incorporate this initiative into our STEAM Fair. Students will be given the opportunity to both explore topics of their own choosing, or any of the topics below. 


If your family is interested in hosting one of the following stations, please sign up here:

https://evite.me/cQJzqZS3aD


A separate form will be sent home to those choosing to do their own experiments, research, and art around STEM topics.
