My Project

There’s little I find more worthy than instilling a love of creativity and expression into the minds of young people. Our world is a rainbow of possibilities, and our young people should have an opportunity to create colorful, vibrant, interesting pieces of work to prepare them for careers requiring and supporting creativity. In my 30+ years of teaching and guiding creative writing to 9-12 year olds, I have found that providing them with interesting materials, like as simple as colored paper, fosters their effort and learning. A simple request that promises great results.
