Creative Writing Studio will give students (Grades 6-12) an overview of several writing genres including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and scriptwriting. In class, we will spend the first 45 minutes reviewing our previous week’s writing and workshopping pieces with one another. The second hour of the class is dedicated to learning a new writing skill and building upon what we learned in previous weeks. Students will be expected to write outside of class in order to be able to take full advantage of workshopping! We will explore several types of writing in this fun, fast-paced program, so there is truly something for everyone! All writing supplies will be provided.

This summer, we are partnering with the Allegheny County Library Association (ACLA) to bring your child even more wonderful programming opportunities!
Your child can join The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the Mystic Seaport Museum for a wonderful Henny Sinding and the Gerda III program via Zoom! Participants will virtually board a historic Danish lighthouse tender that was used to save Jews, ferrying them into neutral Sweden during WWII and learn the true story of Henny Sinding, a young woman who took incredible risks to save some 300 Danish Jews. Attendees will be able to view the inside of the boat, ask questions, and hear from survivor Leo Goldberger, who was smuggled to safety on a Danish boat in the middle of the night.
