Programming Spotlight: Paul Griffin Visits Crossroads

Yesterday, author Paul Griffin visited two classes at Passages Academy - Crossroads.  He spoke with students about his life and career, answered questions about his books (Ten Mile River, Orange Houses, Stay With Me, and Burning Blue), and worked with students on telling “the best story in the world” - their own.  Each student received a gift copy of Ten Mile River, graciously provided by Literacy for Incarcerated Teens, which Paul personalized.  Said one student, holding his book, “I need to read books; books keep me going.” We are indebted to Paul for writing the books that keep our students going. --Regan Schwartz
