Red River Valley Writing Project site leaders and district partners met with teacher leaders

in Nashville, Tennessee, June 24-27, 2019. Deb Austin, Shay Statz, Heather Troy, Kathy
Rueger, Jennifer Yellowbird, Cole Marion, Ben Scallon, and Kelly Sassi started with writing

The group got to experience some new resources for teaching argument writing, plan their
August launch, revise their year-long plan, brainstorm with other sites, dig deeper into C3WP
instructional resources, and sample some local food and music.
