When girls show strength
When girls dream and write

And then they are power and light

Our writing camp director Mizz JJ loves to visit schools and read her stories. Left, a group from the 110 students at Strode Station Elementary School in Winchester, enjoyed her story Ocean Eyes about a blue sea turtle.
