The Writing Festival is a signature project for our club as literacy promotion remains a focus of SITS. Committee members work with the fantastic teaching staff at South Tahoe Middle School through the language arts department. Each grade level writes to a specific writing prompt. Teachers provide SITS members with top samples and our ladies work together to determine the final winners. Our youth and their guests attend a fantastic morning celebrating them! It’s a wonderful opportunity for our kids to shine. They love receiving the recognition for their work and efforts and they appreciate the small monetary award we provide too.

6th Grade High Point Program: Diana Chavez-1st Place, Saintychelle Bascao – 2nd Place
