Creative Writing Corner 2021-2022

Hilton’s Creative Writing Corner helps kids express themselves creatively as authors and illustrators.  Once a month, a new topic will be shared for the students to write about, and submissions will be displayed on the lobby’s Creative Writing Corner bulletin board. 

For younger students, a few words or a picture is appropriate.  Older children may want to write a paragraph or two. Students should approach the Creative Writing Corner in a way that is just “write” for them!

Submissions will be returned after they have been displayed for the month. With returned submissions, the children will receive a ticket that will allow them to visit the office to choose a prize!

Please be sure your student’s writing is labeled with their name, grade, and teacher.  Creative Writing Corner pieces must be turned into your child's teacher by the due date to be displayed.

NEW THIS YEAR: Students can also choose to have one of their favorite Creative Writing Corner pieces submitted for the spring issue of the Young Writers of Cleveland (YWC) magazine. YWC encourages curiosity, research, and learning within the community through printing a free publication written and read by students in grades K-12. These magazines are available at all Cuyahoga County Public Library branches and will also be sent to Hilton upon receiving submissions. You can learn more about YWC at https://youngwritersofcleveland.com.

**If your student would like to be featured in the spring issue of YWC, please help them choose their favorite piece of writing – topics from September through January - after it has been returned. Then clip the attached paper consent form to the front of their writing and send it back to your child’s teacher, no later than Friday, February 11, 2022. Submissions may be turned in at any time up until Friday, February 11, 2022,
and must be accompanied by the consent form to be submitted to YWC.**

Please direct any questions about the Creative Writing Corner or YWC submissions to info@hiltonpso.com.
