TPS WRITERS UNITE!

Visited a session that discussed something called Writers Week. Definitely something to consider at TPS, though perhaps on a smaller scale: Writers Day. It is wildly successful at the high school and junior high level, and it involves bringing everyone - famous authors, community authors, student authors, and even faculty - to share writing at an ongoing assembly throughout the day. Teachers, typically English teachers, bring their students down to the auditorium when a reader is of particular interest to that class. They recommend having two people coordinate such an event because it takes time and considerable work to put it together, but the end product is a community completely invested in and excited about writing. Just a thought...
