PHS Annual Author Visit:

Author Melissa de la Cruz will be at Poway High on Tuesday, April 15. She will lunch with any interested students in K-1. Ms. De La Cruz will also speak to select 5th period classes.

Join us in our celebration of the author's works. We would like to enlist your help in creating a frozen Las Vegas, the backdrop of Ms. De La Cruz's latest novel. Stop by and pick up a piece of our special snowflake paper. We would like to add your snowflake to the frozen window scene.

In anticipation of the release of Ms. De La Cruz's The Ring and the Crown we are assembling our own floral crown to present to the author. Please help. Pick up some tissue paper and a tie and create a flower to adorn the crown.

The Ring and the Crown comes out April 1.
