Your offerings are fabulous! I saw that you have a program for kids encouraging creative writing! If you are ever looking for an activity related to creative writing that your kids and families would love to do together - go to www.thinkitinkitpublishing.com and look at our creative writing kits - they make an easy and fun activity for parents or teachers and kids to do together. And the task is authentic and meaningful - kids become authors!!

We would be happy to sell them to you in bulk!

Back the f up see more homie
