In collaboration with Science Park High School, the Office of English Language Arts orchestrated a phenomenal Editing Day, transcending borders and bringing together students from 10 schools spanning 33 countries. The event, set to feature in the upcoming anthology "We Were Strangers Once, Too," celebrated creativity and collaboration, marking a significant milestone in the pursuit of writing excellence. Attendees engaged in interactive sessions that showcased the impact of effective editing on student writing and fostered a spirit of exploration and learning—the transformative Editing Day left an indelible mark, inspiring students to sharpen their editing skills and kindling a newfound enthusiasm for crafting impactful narratives.

In the coming months, select students will have their stories published in the upcoming anthology "We Were Strangers Once, Too." This initiative celebrates their creativity and empowers them to share their narratives with a broader audience, creating a lasting impact on their writing journey.
