Once again we are so pleased to be involved in supporting the Red Mountain Writing Project!

What a wonderful opportunity for the University of Montevallo’s In-service Regional teachers to have. This year’s Invitational Summer Institute is tentatively scheduled to be held at
Simmons Middle School from June 12th through July 7th. At least one teacher from each school should be nominated to attend. Nominees should be energetic, passionate teachers who are committed to improving their own as well as their students’ knowledge of and skills in writing.

The Red Mountain Writing Project (RMWP) is a grant funded through the National Writing Project and is co-sponsored by the University of Alabama at Birmingham. RMWP focuses on the improvement of writing in all disciplines and at all levels of education. Teachers who are chosen to experience the RMWP Summer Institute will return to their schools invigorated and inspired to share their new knowledge and skills not only with their students, but also with their colleagues as well.

Please join us and nominate your best teachers as representatives of your school and system by using the nomination form and returning it by mail to Dr. Maryann Manning at UAB. The address can be found on the nomination form. Nominations are expected by January 31st, 2007. Dr. Manning will send application forms to all chosen nominated candidates.
Once again, thank you for your support of this important opportunity for teachers and students. Should you need further assistance, please contact me at 205-503-5870 or Dr. Manning at mmanning@uab.edu.
