Last Spring, I discovered 826Seattle. This organization is simply amazing - using volunteers that are "actual" writers, they bring the love of writing to students. After quite a bit of research, I saw that they bring classes to their location to create a story together - and they actually publish the book.
Needless to say, these field trips are in high demand, and operate on a lottery system. They are only offering it to 25-30 classes in Washington for the 2011-2012 school year. I knew that the only way to get an invitation is to put my name in the hat (with over 250 other classes). I just checked my email, and guess what...
WE GOT A SPOT!!!!!!
More info will be coming home in the following weeks - but I had to share the news ASAP.
Needless to say..... good things are happening in Gaterland.
