Event Details

September Author: Joyce Heiple

IPDPL is thrilled to welcome Joyce Heiple to our Local Author family!  Joyce worked at Germantown Hills Grade School and St. Mary's Grade School for over 30 years.  During that time, she created the "Can-Do" program, emphasizing values in education.  Kolbe's Gift came from that program, and Joyce has told Kolbe's stories to thousands of children over the years.  

 

Program Schedule

We will begin with Joyce reading her story aloud, followed by a discussion and Q&A session.  Finally, we will round out the evening with a book signing.  Copies of Kolbe's Gift will be available for purchase (hardcovers for $25, softcovers for $15 - cash or check only).  

There will also be a special giveaway for all children who attend!
