Spaulding Youth Center is excited to announce the success of its annual Authors Tea, which celebrated the literary accomplishments of its students.

For this project, each student is tasked to write an original story, which can be fiction, nonfiction or even poetry, based on the selected classroom theme. Their creative writing is then illustrated and bound into their very own keepsake book.

This year, students in one classroom wrote about fractured fairytales, creating their own spin to well-known favorite childhood stories.

Other offerings included super hero quests, autobiographies, personal interest studies, and a few students even penned fiction chapter books!

At the culmination of this project, families, friends and staff were invited to campus to tour the classrooms and listen to student presentations about their personal creations.
