I am looking foward to seeing all these performers at Writers Week. They all have very unique talents to share with the students and staff of Fremd. We are all very lucky to have the exprince of Writers Week. It exprinces us to diffrent aspects of cluture that we probally wouldn't have exprinced. It is certainly worth while. Thank you for putting on this show.
I can't wait for Writers Week to begin! It is my favorite time of year, and the students always have a great time. Thanks to the many people involved with putting WW together.

Writers Week!!
Even though i dont know all the writers here, i will definetely go for it!
I have read the dog ate my homework by sarah holbrook and i found it very entertaining.
Chicago stories by Billy Lombardo sounds interesting;talking about chicago
I think this is a good opportunity
to study the different kinds of literature and style people have to offer. This is an entertaining yet educational way to understand and get into the intimate minds of great writers.
i'll be looking forward to this.
omg i love Writers Week I can't wait it was so awesome last year !YAY! Ashley Garland is an amazing singer I am really looking forward to seeing her.
Well, The line up is Amazing, Buddy Wakefield Absolute Favorite, I love that guy, he came in about 2 years ago, and he was absolutely amazing. Billy Lombardo is also a good Author, Ive read part of the Logic of a rose, and its Pretty Good. Hopefully i would still be amazed, by these new comers.
I'm really excited to see Gary Suson. His work is really rare and it will definitely be a privelege to see him live. P.S: GO MO & BETH! American studs are all very excited to see you two in action.
Hey everyone I just wanted to say how insane is this another wonderful Writers Week is almost under the belt. Tomorrow marks the beginning of a outstanding week. Out of all the things Fremd holds and hosts Writer's Week has got to be my favorite. Just throwing this out there but not only do the famous big guys come but the students are blowing up the stage as well. Come to 7th period on March 1, see Mo and myself...you won't be let down.
I thank all of you who were in 3rd hour today (Thursday). It was very sweet and heartfelt- very touching. Huge thanks to Rita and Ioana and Erin especially, but also to all of you who were up there sharing your memories and moments with us. Big props for Maggie Brewner, eh??
I had more to say!! but I'd rather hear all of you.
Thanks again
Sampson
