Adventures of George Global
at Southdown
The Southdown Primary School community was recently paid a visit by Peter Gorin, author of "The Adventures of George Global." It's a book about an Earth-saving superhero.
Mr. Gorin and co-creator John Magno spoke to second, third and fourth graders during their time at the school. The pair led a brainstorming session with the youngsters on how they can protect the environment. They also read from the book, leaving autographed and personalized copies for students who decided to purchase a copy to take home with them.
The event marked the second such author visit sponsored by the Southdown PTA. Last month, Caryn Eve Murray, the author of "Philomena's Homecoming," performed
a reading for kindergarten and first-grade students.
A third visit is planned for Wednesday, May 18 at which time author and illustrator Paulette Bogan will be on hand for the final author's presentation of the school year.
