The Young Writers' Conference (YWC) is proud
to continue their tradition of community service at Alta Vista
Elementary, where it was founded 11 years ago, on Friday, March
27th. The YWC staff and workshop instructors donate their
time and launch the theme for the following season, 2009-10. The
new theme is Much
Ado About Writing. The Young Writers' Conference is a Los
Angeles based organization dedicated to improving young people's writing
skills by first instilling a passion for writing.
 "We
are proud that we have been able to continue to present this day long,
professional conference as our gift to Alta Vista, our founding school,"
comments YWC co-founder, Julie Moore. "Everyone that is involved
with the conference donates their time and talents for this one annual
conference."
"Since the beginning of the school year, we have been
working with the Young Writers' Conference directors to make today an
exceptional day," explains Alta Vista principal,
Anthony J. Taranto. "Teachers, school staff,
parents, volunteers, sponsors, Alta Vista Student Council, and PTA have
worked hard to support this experience, which is designed
to spark student's creativity and provide them with the
opportunity to express themselves in new and exciting ways. We want
to thank them, along with everyone in the Young Writers' Conference
organization for donating their time, talents, and energies to our Alta Vista
community."
The Alta Vista YWC Student Committee (pictured above) has been
busy running a writing contest, an in-school public relations campaign, and
working on the conference production. Winners of the writing contest
will have their worked featured on the school and the YWC websites. All
the contest entries will be published in a special book and donated to the
Alta Vista library by Scribble Press.
