TVS welcomes October 16, 2014 Get a jump on his visit with summer reading!

Summer is the perfect time to read one (or more!) of Mr. Korman’s books.

Mr. Korman will present programs to rising 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders. If you buy a book – hang on to it! Mr. Korman will autograph books when he is here!

Mr. Korman has written over 80 books – these are few of our favorites!
