Since 1847, excellence in education has been the hallmark of St. Mary’s Episcopal

School. Now, both boys and girls can benefit from the research-based Reading and

Writing workshops offered by St.Mary’s through the Summer Pursuits program.

building centers. Each is specifically designed to both build the skills of those developing

reading and writing, and to enrich those of confident readers and writers.

Using guided journaling, traditional and wordless picture books, these writers develop a better understanding of the connection between text and illustration and will experience growth in their higher order writing skills.
