Student Writings

Creative Writing is a weekly two-hour seminar which encourages imaginative thought. Every Friday, a new topic is presented to the students, who then write a story off that prompt before stepping to the podium to share their story with the class. Creativity is encouraged (there are no wrong answers), emotions are tapped (much laughter and occasionally tears), and communication skills (written and verbal) are developed.
