As he described himself to the students, "I am your prize," Caldecott Award-winning illustrator and New York Times best-selling author Brian Selznick said.  On November 2, 2007, RMA students were rewarded with a day with Mr. Selznick as a result of the school's being the Grand Prize Winner of the Spring 2007 National Elementary School Book Fair Contest.  Mr. Selznick spoke to the entire student body, adapting his conversation each time to the particular age group.  From composing a storyline for an impromptu book with our youngest students, based on his favorite childhood book (Fortunately by Remy Charlip) to being surrounded by high schoolers who may have identified with his struggle to figure out what he wanted to do with his life (once upon a time), Mr. Selznick was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
