Greetings!
We are very excited about the creative professionals that are partnering with Spirit of Excellence to provide specialized workshops at the Creativity Centre! Already this summer we have experienced many professional educators in various fields such as cooking, sewing, literacy & library, fine arts, accredited ballet instruction and writing - who have come to discuss partnerships and join us in sharing the vision of discovering and developing potential in the lives of children and youth, especially providing the opportunities for those who do not have the means.
We are committed to providing children and youth creative opportunities to discover, develop and assist in empowering their dreams and aspirations. It has been an amazing summer thus far and we wish to let you know about some exciting plans for September!
September will bring a series of Workshops on Writing - geared for young writers and those wanting to explore their writing skills, and dream of writing a book even. The workshops will be instructed by Rachel Starr Thomson, who has just been at Spirit of Excellence for the last two weeks with Ballerina & Instructor Carolyn Currey.
We welcome all ages - 10 and older to join us for these exciting new workshops!
Sincerely,
John & Colleen Kosti

They say there's a book in all of us--but only a few will ever write one!
| | Writing helps us release our creativity and discover more about who we are. Stories inspire and entertain us. Come learn to write a story of your own in September. |

About the Workshop
The "You Can Write a Book!" Workshop, taught by author Rachel Starr Thomson, will help young writers learn to outline a book and teach them the basics of Setting, Characters, and Plot.
Three sessions will include writing, interaction, and outlining our books together.
For writers 10 and up who dream of someday writing a book of their own--they can do it, and Rachel will show them how!
