A number of our PWMS and HOTL students attended the annual Young Writers Conference hosted by Lakes Country Service Cooperative. Students attended sessions with nationally-known story teller Bob Gasch, Alexandria author Debbie Hoven, local magician Nick Bretz, and Fargo mixed media artist Laura Rach.
Space is limited, and students that have taken particular interest in writing are chosen by their teachers to attend the conference.
From the LCSC Website:
Held each spring, the Young Writers’ Conference provides students in grades 3-7 with an opportunity to attend classes presented by Minnesota authors and other artists. Other artists include storytellers, cartoonists, puppeteers, creative drama teachers, creative dance instructors, illustrators and others.
Each year, approximately 400 students attend the event in Fergus Falls. The students have an opportunity to purchase the authors’ books and have them personally signed. Each participant receives a Young Writers’ Conference notebook.
