PTA SPONSORED STUDENT PUBLISHING KIT

Don’t miss out! Centennial is again participating in a writing program through a company called Studentreasures Publishing. All of our students get to become published authors!

These books are a true family keepsake. Your PTA will provide the publishing kits with the manuscript pages. Every manuscript turned in will be published into a hardbound book! The PTA will fund the first copy of the book just for you! Additional copies of your student’s book can be purchased for $19.95.

If your student would like to participate, please email Anya Reister at publishing@centennialpta.net with the following information: student’s name, grade, and teacher’s name. Kits will be distributed to the students’ homeroom teachers the week of March 14^th. The kits will be due to your child’s teacher on April 8^th.
