Annie Goes to Catholic School

Annie Goes to Catholic School (version 3) is in part autobiographical with some fiction mixed in. The story is about a 6-yr old preparing for her first day of school. Some of her activities to prepare for school and then what she does in school are also included. The author includes some of her favorite after school activities including play time and homework. She also mentions her two best friends The book was written and published as a fundraising project for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Schools in Essex (east Baltimore County) where the author attended school for grades 1 - 9 before switching to a public school. This project is a small effort to raise funds as a pay-back for the wonderful education received while at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel where the author has served on the school's advisory board. All profits will be donated to a scholarship fund at the school. While the book is about a girl going to Catholic school and it is a fundraiser for Catholic education, it is appropriate for all students preparing to go off to school for the first time, especially little girls. It is an easy read for children and adults. Hopefully it will make you smile and perhaps even laugh out loud a time or two. Perhaps there are some things in the book that will tug at your heartstrings too!
