INVITE LEGISLATORS TO VISIT YOUR SUMMER INSTITUTE 末
NWP's Reach Out and Write summer outreach effort continues! Please invite your legislators to visit your summer institute, or send a note to thank them for their support and tell them about the importance of Writing Project programs to teachers. During their recess July 5-9 and again in August, legislators will travel back to their districts to meet with you, their constituents. With the reauthorization of ESEA coming up, this is an important time for NWP teachers and site leaders to contact legislators to request that NWP be reauthorized in the new bill. Please send your questions and updates to publicaffairs@nwp.org.
