Literature and Learning: PCCSS' Partnership with the Georgia Writers Museum - 4

 

 

"Literature and Learning: PCCSS’ Partnership with the Georgia Writers Museum"

 

The Putnam County Charter School System (PCCSS) is beyond #PutnamProud of our partnership with the Georgia Writers Museum (GWM). GWM is dedicated to nurturing and inspiring future generations of Georgia authors, and one of the ways they achieve this is by giving back to the students of Putnam County.

 

To the joy of our PCPS students, they have launched a “Storytime” program where museum representatives visit classrooms throughout the year to read children’s books authored by Georgia writers. GWM also organizes a highly popular “Spooky Story” contest for 3rd through 8th graders, motivating students to enhance their creative writing skills beyond the classroom. While this is a state-wide contest, we are pleased to share that Putnam County is consistently well represented, both in terms of submissions and among the winners. At our middle school, they have facilitated several “Meet the Author” and “Writing Workshop” events, which have proven beneficial for both enthusiastic writers and those who find it challenging to express themselves on paper. Each year, the museum also engages our high school’s Service Leadership class as their official Junior Board of Directors, providing students with a unique chance to plan a culminating project for their peers and the wider community. Previous boards have enjoyed considerable success with their “LIVE Bookfairs,” where books come to life, and “Meet Me at the Table” dinner parties that celebrate Georgia authors and their literary journeys.

 

In addition to their collaboration with PCCSS, the Georgia Writers Museum has something to offer everyone in the community. So, whether you're looking to hone your craft at one of their writing workshops, explore the latest True Crime case, meet your favorite Georgia author, find a quiet place to read, or simply explore the rich literary heritage of Georgia, the Georgia Writers Museum is definitely the place for you!
