Global Piedmont Goes Intergalactic

6th Grade Hosts Sci Fi Author Talk

As you know from this blog, Piedmont IB was the first school in North Carolina to receive the state's Global Ready designation.

Now we're going intergalactic.

10 days after hosting our first International Night, the 6th grade will go out of this world. The students are receiving a visit from Scott Reintgen, author of Nxyia. 

Nyxia is a thriller about 10 teens who launch into space. The characters come from a wide range of countries and backgrounds and it is an accessible read that students can feel comfortable diving into. During the presentation, students will get a chance to think about what they want to do with their lives and get a glimpse into what it takes to make a dream come true

Students who purchase a book can have it signed if they bring it to the talk.

We are excited for this chance for our students to hear from a professional author who grew up in North Carolina like them.
