Visiting Authors
Each year, Oakridge welcomes a visiting author, alternating between Lower School and Middle School student interests. This year we hosted author Chris Barton in November and Newbery award winner Rebecca Stead in March. Fourth and fifth graders also met virtually with the inimitable author Sharon Draper this spring. Her wonderful book Out of My Mind is coming to Disney Plus.
Rebecca Stead, also an award winning author, has written many novels including Bob, When You Reach Me, The Lost Library and Goodbye Stranger.
Previous visitors have included: Jason Chin, Stuart Gibbs, Chris Grabenstein, Jerry Pallotta, Gordon Korman, James Ponti, Aaron Reynolds, and Sarah Weeks. The inimitable Nathan Hale, author of the non-fiction, graphic novel, bestselling series, Hazardous Tales, has been to Oakridge TWO times. Aaron Reynolds will be back in 2024!
Book Face! Creative students in grades four through six created "Book Face" photographs for us to enjoy!
