*Support Children's Writing *
Encourage children to creatively express themselves through their writing.
Reading and writing are critical literacy skills for children to develop,
especially in the primary grades. Our 3rd annual Young Authors' Festival
provides an opportunity for children to develop their creative writing
skills and for parents to learn tips and techniques for supporting
children's writing.
Please take this opportunity to support children's literacy!
*Writing Contest Winners!*
Students who won awards in this year's writing contest are invited to read
their entries at the festival. This year's theme was "Celebrating Our
Differences." As students wrote a poem, narrative, or expository piece,
some concepts they might have considered were: What makes you unique or
different? How do differences change things for the better? How is the
world a better place due to our differences? What would the world be like
if we were all the same?
Please join us in recognizing the writing achievements of students in
grades three, four, and five!
