Article by: Folsom Cordova Communication Intern, Rida Anjum
Eighty students from our schools including Kinney High, Cordova Meadows, Cordova Villa, Empire Oaks, Folsom Hills, Gold Ridge, Mather Heights, Peter J. Shields, Russell Ranch, Sandra J. Gallardo, Sutter Middle, Theodore Judah, Vista Del Lago, and Williamson had their writing featured at a Districtwide celebration after being selected by teachers from their respective schools.
The event showcased students' works through an open-mic style evening, where students presented pieces of poetry, narratives, PSAs, and other creative writings to parents and Folsom Cordova employees.
The FCUSD Writing Celebration was created by Mather Heights Elementary teacher Sarah Kirby-Gonzalez and Gold Ridge Elementary teacher Terry English as a way to celebrate literacy and writing among students. The event over the years has grown to encompass larger numbers of schools, Kirby-Gonzalez said.
"What started as a small potluck celebration at the Cordova Lane Center years ago, it has grown into something very special."
