A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the 3rd Annual WITS Back-to-School Breakfast! Together you raised $86,705 to send our talented WITS Writers Back to School to inspire and engage more than 5,000 local K-12 students this year. WITS matters, and we are so thankful for your support of this life changing program. Couldn’t make it to the breakfast? It’s not too late to help send our WITS writers back to school. Donate here.
Please join us for the WITS Back-to-School Breakfast and help inspire thousands of K-12 students to engage in the power and the pleasure of the literary arts!
The breakfast raises funds for SAL’s Writers in the Schools (WITS) program, which places professional writers in local schools for year-long residencies to teach creative writing in close partnership with classroom teachers.
As a result, students gain essential literacy skills that support them throughout their lives, teachers develop new innovative teaching skills, and local writers are employed to inspire the next generation of writers and readers.
Want to help us raise more support than ever for WITS kids as a table captain or event sponsor? Please contact SAL Development Director Leanne Skooglund at lskooglund@lectures.org or 206-621-2231, x17.
