Writing Center Hours This Week: GREEN WEEK 9/14-9/20

Happy Sunday and thank you for the great energy today at the orientations and at assembly!  We are very excited to get started at the Writing Center.  And guess what?  The Writing Center is having its 10th Anniversary…maybe not quite as impressive as 175, but we’re still thrilled.  We have a big pile of writing fun planned for you, so get ready!

In the meantime, here are the Writing Center hours for this week (these hours will expand and become more exact after the tutors are trained on the 22nd):

During the day: 

Come visit us!  If it is not periods A, E, or F, I am likely to be there.  If you know you need to meet at a specific time, just email me and we will set something up.

During the night: 

We are open every night for evening study hall from 7:45 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.  Isn’t that fabulous?!?  Also, Ms. Mantegna and Mr. Cheney are joining me this year for the evening hours.  Isn’t that even MORE fabulous?!?

Some reminders:

 

ANYONE can use the Writing Center! 

Your question can be BIG (“Please help me improve this summer reading paper!  It’s horrible and I’m freaking out!”) or small (“Can you decipher my teacher’s scrawl on page four?”).

You DO NOT need an appointment!  Later, we will have a fancy sign-up system which you can use if that’s your thing.  We love it when people drop by.

The Writing Center is on the second floor of the library.  There is a candy jar.

EVERYONE benefits from help with writing. 

The tutors are nice people.

You will not be the only one going to the Writing Center.  We see over 1,000 visits each year.  Why not you?

 

That’s all for now, except a big “thank you” in advance to my tireless tutors!

 

You’re all going to be great tomorrow.  Remember: “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
