"What Each Participant Should Expect"

Creative Thinking

When children collaborate to create stories, they actively engage in brainstorming, problem-solving, and communication, building critical skills in teamwork and expression.

Creating Connection

The goal is to nurture a lifelong love of reading while building confidence, communication skills, and a sense of community among participants.

Shared Authorship

By celebrating their contributions and providing opportunities to share their creations, shared authorship reinforces self-esteem, a love for learning, and the belief that their ideas can shape their futures.

"Believe in yourself, and you will see, the amazing things you can be!" Ms. Lynell Smith

About Woody

Dymere Smith, also known as Woody, is an author and a community youth liaison officer. Growing up with physical challenges, children didn’t know how to embrace him. He was teased and bullied a lot in regular public school, until one day, Lynell relocated the family to Florida sunshine state and put Woody in an exceptional student education program. Lynell’s belief and family core values gave Woody the ability to have great self-esteem and self-confidence.

As a kid, Woody enjoyed pretending to be a police officer and saving people. Woody’s affable personality draws people close to him wherever he goes. In his spare time, he plays basketball with his younger brother and watches cop shows. Woody’s motto is, “Being special is unique, but unique is being special to others.”
