Write a Book in a Day Challenge Complete

Yesterday, our three teams of students competed in the Write a Book in a Day competition. 

In a marathon effort over 12 hours, students worked in teams to plan, write, edit, illustrate and publish complete books that will be used to provide cheer to young people in hospitals across the country.

Watching their progress over the day was truly inspiring – we saw creativity, leadership, teamwork and incredible dedication. They worked tirelessly and we saw many students find their voice not just as writers but as illustrators, editors, team leaders and most importantly, team members.

We are also so thankful for their wonderful fundraising efforts and the contributions from the broader school community.

Together, our three teams have raised more than $3000 for The Kids’ Cancer Project.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the students during the very long, but rewarding day.

We hope you enjoy reading their books.
