Summer Writing Workshops Return as a Yearlong Program
by Staff Editors
For the past nine summers, Simpson Street Free Press has been promoting academic achievement in Dane County through a series of writing workshops every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon at Glendale Elementary. Now the Free Press has transformed its Summer Writing Workshops program into a yearlong after-school academic academy known as Glendale Free Press.
Elementary school students attending Glendale Free Press are engaged in a range of learning exercises that emphasize writing, reading, history, science, and geography skills. In addition to improving students’ academic skills, Glendale Free Press also stresses the importance of education to readers across Dane County.
The curriculum was designed by certified teachers and is taught by the Simpson Street Free Press adult teaching staff. Our high school writers act as assistant teachers and editors.
Articles crafted by our young writers are featured here in a special section of the Simpson Street Free Press website. In years past Glendale writers have contributed to a special hard copy Summer Writing Workshops edition of the Simpson Street Free Press. Now you can read all of the Glendale Free Press articles on our popular online newspaper. Please enjoy these articles and their message of academic success.
