what is young author's day?

Young Author's Day is a celebration of Eastgate's young writers and illustrators that have been hard working on their writing all year long. 
Each spring, for the last 30 years, Eastgate has held a Young Author's Day (YAD) conference. During this special day, every child at Eastgate shares their own book that they wrote and illustrated. On previous YAD's each student was sorted into grade-level groups and participated in these activities:
* Sharing the book that they have written with their group
* Listening to the guest author presentation in the Library
* Watching older students preform Reader's Theater or skits 
*Finished with an all school barbecue lunch - Very fun day! 
​You can learn more about Eastgate's YAD history by clicking the button on the bottom of this page.


Last year, 2019-20, YAD had to be canceled due to the pandemic. This is year, the pandemic is still effecting how we do everything! But, instead of discarding this celebration we are going to tweak it a bit to adapt. This year we will be celebrating our authors during a week at the end of May in Library sessions as well as other fun activities!
