Writers’ Celebration 2023! Friday, June 16th
What is the Writers’ Celebration? Every year at Bryant, the PTSA celebrates the accomplishments of all our student writers by hosting the Writers’ Celebration, a schoolwide event during which each student has the opportunity to share a piece of writing – a book, story, or poem they have authored — in small, multi-age groups. This is one of the few activities at Bryant that mixes all grade levels, and it is heartwarming to watch the older students help and encourage the younger ones. The students work long and hard on these projects and are very proud to share them with their peers.
Where do you come in? We will need volunteers to lead a group of six or seven enthusiastic students for 30 minutes. Each group will be facilitated by 1-2 volunteer leaders or a teacher. Unfortunately, due to space constraints, we won’t be able to accommodate any additional adult spectators.
How do you sign up?
Step 1: To lead a group, you must complete all SPS volunteer requirements (which include a screening disclosure form, taking a short online course, reviewing online docs, and providing a copy of your photo ID).
New Volunteers: Complete online Volunteer Application for Seattle Public Schools: New Volunteer in Seattle Public Schools
Returning Volunteers: Renew online Volunteer Application for Seattle Public Schools: Application Renewal Process for Returning Volunteers
Step 2: Complete the Writers’ Celebration volunteer sign-up by Friday, June 9th
