There is something powerful that occurs when someone reads the words you write. Words stimulate the brain. Some say words spark the same neurological regions of the brain as if not make much of a distinction between what’s being read and a true encounter. 

We have two creative writers in the District whose excellent wordsmithing takes you to another place and time. Gloria Casey and Pascale Olczak, eighth-grade students at Oblock Junior High, have the gift of storytelling, leading to a win in a Young Writers USA contest!
