## Resource

Kindergarten and first-grade students at IDEA Round Rock just became published authors—no small feat! Through the free Studentreasures Publishing program, they wrote, illustrated, and saw their books professionally printed in hardcover. Teachers sparked creativity by turning writing into an exciting adventure, helping kids explore dreams and identity. The project boosted confidence, encouraged self-expression, and even drew families in—parents pre-ordered books and joined in at home. With a celebratory release party and plans to make it an annual tradition, these young writers are already building memories that’ll last a lifetime.
