“After the town pays off the initial bonds required for the creative writing school,” said Tomory Tannery, “a very slight increase to local taxes will be added to fund operations”
“We’re excited to announce ground-breaking on our city’s newest project, a creative writing school for talented students to foster careers and livelihoods,” exclaimed Remona Sarp, chairperson of the project. Construction is set to begin next month, after final plans by architect Hipkins Cuti are approved by the creative writing school’s building and grounds committee. “Once construction begins, we estimate a two year completion time,” said Kenrick Cough, foreman and construction planner. A key part of this new creative writing institution will be its work study program, which will allow qualified students the opportunity to enjoy classroom and on-the-job training. “This aspect of our curriculum will really prepare students for the real world,” said teacher Kimber Verhoff, “and we believe it will help them gain meaningful employment after graduation. In addition, career counselors and experts will rotate through the creative writing school on a frequent basis, offering seminars, coaching sessions, and guidance. The new creative writing school will also be taking advantage of the internet as its primary source of text book information. Instead of buying costly standardized text books that go out of date within 2-3 years, each classroom will be fitted with simple lap-top computer stations that will allow students to login to whatever materials their teacher suggests for the current creative writing oriented lesson. “This initiative will save paper, save time, and make use of the information super-highway,” said teacher Wooley Sprinzl, who will be offering an engineering class, “and since we won’t have to update texts every couple of years, the information we use from the net will always be up to date and relevent to each field offered at our creative writing school.” In all, 100 different courses will be offered by the school, not including non-creative writing related studies. The curriculum was written by a team of educators headed by Dr. Johannes Carrino, a nationally recognized curriculum consultant and educational guru. In addition, amny contributions were offered by Carla Soulek, an area education consultant who will help write the creative writing work-study portion of the curriculum. “This project is vast but will be very beneficial to our youth,” stated Carla Soulek. At a recent dedication ceremony, city Mayor Sindy Quasdorf had high hopes for this new style creative writing magnate school, proclaiming that “It will be the best in the nation, and will prepare all Frances Babyak county youth for the challenges of tomorrow!” Town manager Widmayer Corbell seconded this sentiment, and re-enforced the creative financial planning that went into the creative writing project: “We’re going to finance this the easy way, and tax payers will barely notice any changes in their bills.” The creative writing school will offer three sub-disciplines of study, fine arts, music, graphics, and a host of other general studies programs, so that students get a well-rounded education. Department of English chairperson Lesieur Mcfarlin had this to say: “I’m really impressed by the planning that went into this creative writing project - we’re going to be offering a wholesome curriculum that will prepare students to meet the demands of the real world, while developing their appreciation for learning.” This statement was exactly what future principal Emerita Pewo had in mind, and it will be implemented when doors open. The creative writing school, which will be located 2 miles east of city hall, will be a great location as a gathering place for public functions, sporting events, and youth sports leagues. Area sports coordinator Eugene Merryweather was thrilled when the town approved the project, stating: “We desparately needed facilities for all our programs, and the high school was running out of space. Now, with this creative writing school getting built, and fields set to be operational next Spring, we will have plenty of space for people to recreate and enjoy team sports.” Industrial Arts coordinator Kirbo Vokes expressed relief that ground breaking on the creative writing project will begin, stating: “We’ve worked hard for almost five years now planning, organizing, and developing what we think will be the nation’s best creative writing learning center. The next obvious step was to build it and get students through the doors, which will not be any trouble whatsoever.” Kirbo Vokes has been a favorite IA teacher at many schools, and will be taking charge at the creative writing school and academy from the opening day.
