Posted on 04/25/2019
Renowned Author Elizabeth Acevedo brought her talent and enthusiasm to PAHS. Elizabeth Acevedo is a New York Times best-selling author and the winner of many notable awards in literature and poetry. Her dynamic personality was instantly felt as she greeted students in the auditorium for her small group presentation. After lunch she hosted a writer's workshop for students. In order to get the writing flowing, she asked the students, "Think of a time when someone asked you something and you were not able to respond..." This prompt started intense conversation and a springboard for writing.
