Dear Peach Pear Plum Families,
I hope the summer has treated you well, enjoying family, friends and wild adventures. I bumped into a few familiar faces at Coastal Camp while hiking in the Headlands a few weeks ago. What a thrill!
This Newsletter serves a few purposes that I hope you’ll be excited about. For those of you at George Peabody, I will be back and offering Monday and Wednesday ASEs. Many thanks for the positive feedback you offered the parent coordinators that allows me to share my time and space once again with your enthusiastic writers.
Additionally, more Peach Pear Plum offerings will be available for sign-up on September 1st, and those six-week blocks will begin the week of September 14th. There are two opportunities for a small group setting (four writers) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These offerings will be featured as Autumn 1 and 2 on the site and will run back-to-back until a week before Winter Break with one make-up date. There are more personalized opportunities as well, so please feel free to contact me to organize days and times.
Lastly, I had an idea! With all the wonderful writing that I’ve witnessed over the past seven months, I thought I would offer an opportunity – a platform for sharing these amazing pieces. This is not a contest. There will be no prizes. The only reward is the pride and feeling of accomplishment as a published writer.
The stories, poems, recipes or how to instructions can appear anonymous, if your writer wishes. There will be a one-week window for submission and then the following week the anthology will appear on the Peach Pear Plum website. This is not for everyone, so please feel zero pressure to participate. Happy to answer any questions about this. Please submit to lori@peachpearplum.org beginning August 1. Pieces will be accepted for the entire month.
Enjoy the last few weeks before the school year begins!
Warmly,
Lori
