The event is organized by Aroostook Right to Read and brings young writers together for workshops, inspiration, and community building.Students spent the morning sharing their writing, taking part in workshops, and hearing from a guest author. Leslie Marquis, who led one of the science-based workshops, says the event showed students how writing connects to everyday life.“We hope that students see that there’s writing in everything that they do whether it’s art or science or history and just that they use writing in everyday life. Today there are students from all over the county that are taking part in different writing seminars. Some are art, some are history, some are science. So, I’m here today just to encourage some of the science aspect in writing and science,” said Valley Unified District Curriculum Coordinator, Leslie Marquis.Along with attending workshops, students submitted their own pieces of writing. One fifth grader says her piece focused on the importance of balance.Brooklyn Peckham, a 5th grader speaking about her story, said, “How work is important but having free time is too. I read an article not too long ago about it.”Marquis says the end of the conference is all about celebrating the students’ hard work. “They’ve had guest speakers. They go to different workshops and then they’re going to be presented at the end with their product which is just a compilation of their writing. They’ve worked hard on their writing, and this is just a day to celebrate their writing.” Students left UMPI with their writing in hand, and perhaps a little more confidence to keep telling their stories.</div></body>
