Thank you to the students, their parents, and our summer teachers -- Sheryl Noethe, Alex Alviar, and Robert Lee -- for another great writing camp.   Special thanks, too, to the Watershed Education Network (WEN) and the Montana Museum of Art and Culture.

Dear Friends,
 
          Food on the table, adequate health care, and money to pay the most basic bills have reached the top of the priority list for so many.  Poetry can become lost in the discussion.  
 
          The work of the Missoula Writing Collaborative helps kids find sustenance that always is available, never mind the stock market.
 
Poems hide
in the heart of me ...
 
Poems hide
in my home.
I can hear
them when
I am
alone.
 
Sophie N. , Hawthorne School
 
We are in real need of financial help in this effort and will appreciate any amount you can give.
 
Our sincere thanks,
The staff, board, and writers of the Missoula Writing Collaborative
