" For the past two years, I have really enjoyed your book, and I believe it is a wonderful venue for students to get published. "
---- Joseph ShaverYou Made Us Successful
" I just want to thank you for the grant you bestowed on us last year. I was able to put poetry in our curriculum for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. We could not have done this without your grant. I want you to know how YOU made us successful. I can't tell you what a wonderful feeling it is to witness their adulation when they receive confirmation of being published. You have provided an avenue unknown to our student and a means to be successful. They will carry that memory with pride for the rest of their lives. I thank you from my heart and soul. "
---- Gayle ThompsonMaking Poetry a Part of Students' Lives
" We would like to express our thanks for the Language Arts Grant from Creative Communication. Special poetry workshops were held for interested students in 5th and 6th grade. Students created poetry on topics of their choice and shared them in a number of ways. Students read their poems on the morning announcements, had them displayed on our school "poet-tree", and created a book of poems for the school library. In summary, this grant helped us provide a school-wide event, making poetry a part of our students' lives. Thank you again for your generosity. "
