Young Writers Read Showcase update: Audience is LIMITED TO FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY.
To make the experience as safe as possible, this year the Showcase audience is family only–it will not be open to the general public.
IN ADDITION, THE SHOWCASE WILL BE DIVIDED INTO TWO SEPARATE PARTS:
Readers in grades 3, 4, and 5 will read from 1:00-1:40 p.m.
Readers in grades 7 & 8 will to read from 2:00-2:40 p.m.
A FEW EXTRA SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO NOTE:
For all adults, proof of Covid vaccination or a negative Covid test taken within 72 hours is required.
Masks are required for everyone.
Each family group is asked to stay together and maintain a distance from other family groups.
Instead of a group photo, we will make a collage of individual photos.
At the Young Writers Read Showcase, on Sunday, October 24, at 1:00 p.m., selected students will read their winning entries from the stage of the Grand Theatre. The celebration includes poetry and prose from students in grades 3-8, and each participant receives a gift certificate to buy a book of their choice from Dotters Bookstore.
