Project Title: Writers in the Schools (WITS)
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
For 30 years, our Writers in the Schools (WITS) program places local, professional writers with teaching experience in extended classroom residencies at 36 K-12 public schools and at 2 Seattle Children\u2019s Hospital departments. Serving over 6,000 students, WITS empowers young people to discover and develop their authentic writing and performance voices and nurture a love of and joy for reading, writing, and creative expression. WITS is unique in that it reaches all students in a classroom, including students who do not yet identify as writers. We prioritize bringing WITS to historically underserved students with the least access to enriching arts learning opportunities. Last school year, over half of our partnering schools were under-resourced and served majority populations of students from low-income households (based on Free and Reduced-Price Meal eligibility) and who identify as BIPOC.
\nWe launched WITS Rewritten, a new pilot program that provides WITS residencies at no cost to schools that serve large populations of students furthest from educational justice. For its inaugural year, WITS Rewritten served 534 students at three schools: Wing Luke Elementary, Denny International Middle School, and Rainier Beach High School in the Seattle Public Schools District.
\nThis year through a new partnership with Seattle Public Schools\u2019 Summer Learning program, six WITS Writers led creative writing residencies at Graham Hill Elementary School, from July 8th to August 2nd, for K-4th grade students who need additional support and opportunities to succeed.<\/p>\n
