PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Class Act Creative offers two very
special products—a
showcase of student art and writing, the Student Arts Annual™, and
Wise Words for the World™, a book of student advice and inspiration.
I am also open to custom
publications. Please click on
covers for sample pages.
Student Arts
Annual™
Create a colorful keepsake that
students will treasure for years to come. The Class Act Creative Student
Arts Annual™ showcases the art and writing of every child in your school. With a
focus on self-exploration through writing and the visual arts, it becomes not
only a wonderful school keepsake, but if produced annually, a record of each
child's artistic, academic and social development from year to year.
Available for schools only.
Wise Words for the World™
When adults learn to listen well, children have important things
to teach us. In a
Class Act Creative
Wise Words for the World™
publication, students address
issues such as respect, kindness, integrity and peacemaking and offer their best
advice for creating a better world. Black and
white interior.
Available for
schools and districts.
Custom
Publications
I will also consider custom publications
of student art and writing based on your school or district vision. Content must represent art and writing from all students in your
school, selected students from every class in your school, or selected students
from each school in your district. You may also include work from parents and
staff, but our focus is on student work.

PRODUCT
PRICING
For schools and districts ordering their own product
in bulk through Class Act Creative,
books are priced at $8.00 each. Individual purchases through the
Class Act Creative Bookstore
or through
Amazon are $12.00 each.
Because I don't order printing
services until you order your books and my printer produces
only as many copies as you order, you don't have to lay out a large amount
of cash. In fact, if you pre-sell books and collect funds
to submit with your order, the school or PTA itself pays nothing except the initial
$300 set-up
fee.
You may be able to use Title I funds to cover the set-up
fee and the purchase of books for your students. You might also be able to
locate grant funding for this purpose.
"What a great idea! How
do we get started?"
Send me an
e-mail!
Type "Student Book" in the subject line. I'll send you a survey to find out
exactly how you envision your student book. Before
you know it, the publication process will be under way.
