The Shaker Writing Center is officially open for business! We enjoyed our Grand Opening celebration on September 26, 2016. Students were invited to room 228 to check out our space, talk with the fabulous SWC Interns, find out about our services, and write a six-word memoir to add to our wall.
We are here during 6th, 7th or 9th period or after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays to help you with any writing assignment for any class at any stage in the process! Sign up outside of 228 for a session. Write on, Shaker!
Congratulations, Shaker Writing Center!
Way to go! Launching a student-staffed writing center takes a lot of work and immeasurable chutzpah. Special congratulations to founding director, Cathy Lawlor. And to you wonderful, daring SWC interns, be great listeners and cheerleaders for your classmates' writing. Writing is HARD, but teaching and tutoring writing is harder. Here's wishing you much success as you support the writers of Shaker High.
All my very best,
