April 27th - Childrens Author and Illustrator Nina Laden.  Her website is http://www.ninaladen.com/ .  Here is her description of the assembly.  "I love to inspire students and teachers. My programs are interactive and tailored to grade level. In my programs, I discuss how I got started, including showing a book that I made when I was in the fourth grade. I stress keeping sketchbooks/journals and I share mine. I shed light on the writing process, from concept to finished book. I will read from my work. Then I do a unique presentation on character creation that will enlighten and inspire students to draw their own characters with my help. I always encourage questions and stress individuality, not perfection." _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ May 14th - The Museum of Flight will present the Flying Gizmo Show.  Website: http://www.museumofflight.org/flying-gizmo .  This fun assembly-style program is designed to help participants discover the science and history of flight through the use of flying toys and models. Our toy collection includes a flapping-winged bird, kites, parachutes, gliders, stomp rockets, and many others. Each participant receives a taketombo, a Japanese flying toy
