The 31st annual Oregon Writing Festival will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2015, on the Portland State University campus. This event has showcased the writing of more than 33,500 students (grades 4-12) from school districts all across Oregon and has been an exciting event for students and teachers from PPS who have taken advantage of the opportunity to participate. The festival includes author keynotes, workshops, and the opportunity for students to share their own writing. To learn more about the event, go the the Oregon Writing Festival website.
Schools interested in participating need to have at least one teacher attend the event for up to 10 students. If a school has 11-20 students participating, two teachers will need to attend. The cost per student is $35 and transportation is not provided. Each student should bring a copy of his/her best writing to share in a breakout group.
Questions should be directed to:
Grades 4-5: Jennifer Buchanan, ELA TOSA, jbuchanan@pps.net
Grades 6-12: Beverly Daggett, ELA TOSA, bdaggett@pps.net
