These students have worked very hard all year within the writing group, and they've also had the good fortune of working with several internationally renowned writers in after-school workshops. Now, amazingly, these students can call themselves published and paid writers, as each of the creative pieces read on Thursday night is also published in a student anthology through the literary "Diaspora Dialogues" literary journal. It should be noted that the professional writers who mentored our students gave glowing reviews to the audience, saying that Father John Redmond's creative writers are some of the best they've seen in any high school over the years, and definitely among the best of any highschool writers in Toronto right now. To the following students - Maggie O'Neill, Ashley Arguelles, Isaac Hicks, Kasia Hurtado, Darcy Moore, Yuliyana Sawczak, Kyara Tetreault, Tyra Sequeira, Dante Motillo, Jamie Redford, Mercedes Killeen, Nina Clapperton, and Jamie Lewis - we thank you for your hard work, dedication, and creativity. Congratulations to you and to all the "FJR Writes" creative writing students. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Grade 9 Parent Teacher Interviews Thursday, February 18th, 6:30pm-8:30pm ---------------------------------------------------- In Memory
