“There’s no one who counts more in society than a good teacher. And you are one of those. My guess is, your students will remember the project and their part in it the rest of their lives. What a good time they must have…”

“Our daughter’s three publications from The Young Writers’ Club turned out to be a big factor in being admitted to a top prep school. Her writing ability has proven a real strength through high school and college.”
-Parent of a college senior
“Thank you for helping me become a better writer, for family teas and lovely virtual tours, for helping me to become published, for teaching me about great authors of the past, for helping me develop a love of writing, for opening a whole new world full of adventures, love, and excitement.”
-Student, 4th grade
“Part of our daughter’s academic success stems from this class imbibing a love of reading – and knowledge -that go beyond work in class. Our daughter hardly ever reads without thinking about the social, economic, and cultural milieu in which the author existed.”
-Parent of a 4th grade student
