Join us on campus on Wednesday, October 29, for a very special event. For the past two years, the Young Writers and Artists Festival has been a transformative creative experience for Upper and Middle school girls.
This year, we are pleased to offer a version of that experience for parents and the community. We hope that you'll consider attending and bringing someone along. You'll have the opportunity to hear from and interact with some of the writers who have enjoyed teaching writing workshops in recent years for HB girls.
Following a panel talk, attendees will be able to participate in three rounds of breakout sessions that offer the opportunity to talk with the writers in small settings. More details are outlined below.
