What parents say about the workshop:
Norah absolutely loved the course. She has always liked fantasy stories, but I've never seen her so engrossed in a writing assignment before. She found your worksheets fun to do, and was quite pleased with her fantasy story herself. Thanks for the wonderful experience- will come back for more theme based workshops!
