WANTED -- TEACHERS WHO WRITE: From a press release: Scholarships and stipends are still available to Wyoming teachers wishing to enroll in the University of Wyoming and the Wyoming Writing Project (WWP) Summer Invitational July 7-29. Registration deadline has been extended to Thursday, June 15. Open to teachers from all disciplines and grade levels, the Summer Invitational is an immersion in the writing processes that improves each enrollee's personal and professional writing abilities, teaches the value of a "writing community," and develops successful strategies to effectively incorporate writing in all classes from K-12 and beyond, says Connie Currie, WWP director. This year's invitational will open with a three-day retreat at the Elk Mountain Hotel beginning on Friday, July 7, with the remaining sessions at UW. To conclude the project, participants will write, produce and perform an original play, "Wyoming's Dinosaur Wars," directed by Wes Nethercott. This will be presented as a dinner theater performance at the Trading Post in Centennial on the evening of Friday, July 28. FMI: Connie Currie, 307-742-0350.
