Bring a listening ear and a joyful spirit to the WITS (Writers in the Schools) Year-End Reading & Celebration! Every year, WITS culminates in a program-wide reading and celebration of student work that features student readers from approximately 30 schools and Seattle Children’s Hospital. This year, elementary and middle school students will read on Wednesday, May 29, and middle and high school students read on Thursday, May 30. This event is free and open to the public.

Writers in the Schools

Writers in the Schools (WITS) brings professional local writers to K-12 public school classrooms for extended creative writing residencies. Founded in 1994, the program has served over 100,000 students throughout the Puget Sound Region. WITS aims to elevate the self-expression of students as they discover and develop their authentic writing and performance voices. Through WITS, students become authors of their own lives.
