School Book Project
To encourage young students to read, the Pearce Interns help elementary classes write and publish their very own book. The interns work with students to help write and illustrate a story before assembling the book and giving it to the students at a celebration. In 2024-2025, interns visited all three second-grade classrooms at Central Academy of the Arts to assist students in researching and writing about their favorite animals. Once the stories were complete, interns worked in Adobe InDesign to create the layout of the book and prepare it for publication.
