My Project

Please help my students to publish their writing so that they can share it with wider audiences. We seek to stock our Writing Workshop with important tools for writers.

Pencils, colored pencils, and a sharpener will help my students publish writing that they can be proud to share with the wider community.

Please help provide writing tools and equipment to our student-run space. Students assume the job of organizing and maintaining our Writing Workshop, including our publication space. This responsibility strengthens student commitment to our Writing community. A strong sense of audience and purpose in writing naturally enhances writing output when combined with focused, targeted instruction.
