A schoolwide Young Authors’ Faire capped a week of literacy events at St. Simon School May 26. The fair was coordinated by third-grade teacher Linda Kubitz, who is retiring this year. She has coordinated the event for the past 10 years. Popular children’s author David Schwartz visited the school and gave two dynamic presentations to the students that combined math, science and literature. All the school’s 457 students made books for the fair. More than 200 students and parents produced books together, using kits provided by Klutz Books of Palo Alto, during a “Build-a-Book” fund-raising event May 16.
