It was an absolute honor hosting award-winning author Pam Muñoz Ryan at VCE! 4th and 5th grade students and teachers were captivated by Pam Muñoz Ryan's life story and insights into the publishing world. 5th graders read her book Esperanza Rising in ELA this year, and a very kind donor gifted them with signed copies of Pam Muñoz Ryan's new book, El Niño. Thank you for this amazing opportunity, @flyleafbooks. Mrs. Ryan is welcome back any time! 🤩 📖 #VCEPride #CCSShine
