This looks like a pretty good initiative! I would like to see one similar event for the Romanian students!

Deb Sistrunk Nelson said...

Alina: Perhaps Romanian students could participate in this initiative, collaborating with American students.

This is great. A wonderful way to spark young minds!

Very nice! It gives kids the opportunity to improve their creative writing skills. Also, those kids who are naturally talented will emerge above the rest.

Dr. Deb and Ray-zor: I am always excited when I see programs that spark young minds and encourage creativity in our kids.

Hey DCS! I hope you are just busier than usual! Keep in touch!

Alina: Thanks for caring. Admittedly, my blogging did grind to a halt recently, but my love for my readers remains as strong as ever.

Hopefully, I will return back to blogging on a regular basis within the next week or so. And, yes, I'll do a better job of staying in touch!

Thanks for dropping by. It's always good to hear from you. I hope all is well in your world.
