Second Star's Annual Educator Bash - We Love Our Teachers & Want To Celebrate You! Special Author Guest: Valerie Bolling
About this event
Join us for a very special in-person Back-to-School Educator Evening at Second Star's new forever home!
We'll be starting the school year off right with Special Guest Author, Valerie Bolling (see below for more info)! This will be the night you need to get you back and ready for school with a sneak peek at upcoming school programs, book talks on the ones you need in your classroom, fun games, food and drinks, and did we mention prizes and giveaways? Space is limited so RSVP today!
We're rewinding back to the 90s, so feel free to dress up in your best 90's style! Remember slap bracelets, and the music you used to sing your heart out to? Well, they're back for one night only! (Just kidding...you can rock those all year long, but why not do it with Second Star and fellow educators?)
