Benson High School Writers in the Schools
January 30, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeLocal author and writing instructor Joanna Rose leads a team of students and teachers reading from their own work on this high-energy night. We are always blown away by the talent and passion of these young people. Come see for yourself — it’s always one of the most fun nights in the store.
Literary Arts’ Youth Programs reinforce the real world importance of reading and writing. They work with high school age students in schools and organizations throughout Portland, East Multnomah County, and Oregon. Their programs inspire students to find their voices and allow youth to be a part of the broader literary community. In particular, the Writers in the Schools program offers semester-long writing workshops in high school classrooms.
