The Missoula Writing Collaborative (MWC) brings literary competence,critical thinking, cultural awareness, and artistic joy to young people through creativewriting. We teach children and teenagers in school classrooms throughout the school year in collaboration with classroom teachers. Professional writers visit schools weekly, developing ongoing relationships with students and forming vital partnerships with school teachers and administrators. +During the 2011-12 school year twelve MWC writing teachers taught a total of 846 hours in twenty different schools in western Montana and Helena. We served all fourth grade classrooms in the nine elementary schools of Missoula County Public Schools, with 12 hours of teaching in each classroom, and our writers taught in a number of third and fifth grade classrooms in the District as well. Outlying schools served included those in Arlee, MT, on the Flathead Reservation, Lone Rock School and Florence-Carlton School, in the Bitterroot Valley, and Ovando School. Additional outreach programs included monthly workshops at Talbot Youth Homes; a two-week annual summer camp, Words With Wings, serving 55 kids ages 8-14; and mentoring relationships with schools in Hawaii and Alaska. In 2011-12 we also sponsored Poetry on the Bus -- a project that puts original writing by children on display on public buses year round.
