On Friday, Feb. 19, Linelle Vincenti, Authors & Illustrators chairwoman, stopped by Dunsmore Elementary School to give a check to Principal Karen Stegman on behalf of the Assistance League of Glendale. ALG also gave a check for $2,000 to the school librarian to buy new books for the school library.

Four authors – Tao Nyeu, Carter Higgins, Michele Markel andTracy Holczer ­– made Zoom presentations to classes in their assigned level. Their presentations encouraged students to flex their artistic talents by reading, writing their own stories and drawing their own pictures.

The event was funded in part by the Mary Pinola/Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund.
