CHILDREN'S EVENTS, Discovery Green

Young Writers Workshop in the Park

Saturdays | 10:30 am | Free Admission | HPL Express in The Lake House Building
The City's only open, free writing workshop for kids presented by Writers in the Schools in conjunction with HPL Express. Writers in the Schools (WITS) places poets
and writers to work with students from grades 2-12 every Saturday, from 10:30 -
11:30 AM, in FREE hour-long creative writing workshops. WITS engages children in
the pleasure and power of reading and writing. Our professional writers are dynamic instructors who bring passion and a practitioner's knowledge to the writing process. Learning how to write a story or compose a poem is one of the most meaningful educational experiences possible. For 24 years, the WITS program has played a key
role in the educational and emotional development of thousands of children in the Houston community. The workshop is limited to 15 participating students, and the students must arrive by 10:30 AM to participate.
