I'm writing a grant proposal with high hopes...
One part of the writing project grant that I have now officially added, includes inviting a published author, Laura Resau, who will talk with the students about her journey as a writer and about her experiences in other countries that have inspired her stories. She is bilingual (or trilingual?), willing to present in either English or Spanish, lives within a short drive from where my school is located, even has some ideas on fundraising if we need that. Her stories seem to be a reflection of many of the students' lives at my school. This is getting exciting!!
Just waiting on some information I have requested, to put in the grant, and then I'm ready to send it off to the donor organization.
Yay!! :-) Sounds like your plans are being set into motion!
ReplyDeleteVery exciting development this week. Grant approval for funding the Writing Project!!! The night after receiving the notification email I was too excited to sleep. Got up and wrote a to-do list. Next on the list is sending an email to the teachers of the students who will be invited to participate, so we can start a conversation about what's going to happen. I'm looking forward to their comments and questions. I also want to make sure I don't accidentally step on any toes.
DeleteOh, and Laura Resau has officially said that she will come. We just need to set a date.
