We are starting this thing, this crazy idea, and it's a bit like we are working our way through a dense forest, searching and searching for a worn path to follow. In the meantime, we are making it up.
Metro Denver Promotion of Letters is a non-profit dedicated to helping kids, ages 5 to 18, learn how to communicate -- effectively, joyfully, creatively, passionately, and often. We envision most of this communication to be through writing, but --hey!-- we aren't too picky. Everyone involved does know and appreciate the value of an honest and clear sentence, one that expresses just the right thing at the right moment. How wonderful if we could help kids gain the confidence to do just that, daily, naturally, with skill and without fear.
We're modeling ourself after the 826National Writing Tutoring Centers, They've inspired all of us in one way or another. In the meantime, though, we're going it alone, trying to determine what is right for Denver, what is right for us, and what is right for the kids we wish to serve. Watch us as we grow.
We appreciate comments, questions, thoughts, and random musings etched into marble tablets.
