The Shepherd University National Writing Project hosted "Writing in a Winter Wonderland," a children's writing workshop and book giveaway, featuring activities like writing letters to Santa and creating books while providing free books and festive snacks. The event, organized by English professors Sadie Shorr-Parks and Valerie Stevens, aimed to foster early enthusiasm for reading and writing by creating a joyful, creative environment that helps children see writing as more than just a academic requirement.
