WORDS WRITING PROJECT ANTHOLOGY LAUNCH
More than 400 people gathered at the Michael J Fox Theatre on May 16 for this year's WORDS Writing Project Celebration. 93 poems and short stories written by Burnaby students were selected to be published in this year's WORDS Anthology entitled Words to Share. And share they did, entertaining and inspiring the audience with a sampling of Burnaby's best in student writing. Thank you to our community sponsors and all the student volunteers who helped put on this annual tradition now in its 27th year. 2012/13 WORDS ANTHOLOGY
