No class time has been wasted looking for writing utensils or paper as all students have access to the pens and pencils we were so graciously gifted. Introducing high school aged young adults to poetry can be challenging, but having anthologies of recently published poems has made poetry more accessible to my students."
In 2022, we launched our newest project, Just Add Writers, and sent a care package to a New England high school English teacher.
In the fall of 2023, we hope to expand this program to allow us to send several care packages across New England to teachers who need writing supplies the most.
If you know a teacher or school system who may be in need of a care package, please reach out to Quabbin Quills. Please note that we try to avoid giving too much information regarding the school and the teacher—choosing instead to send these donations as discreetly as possible.
Also, if you are interested in helping to sponsor a care package, please let Quabbin Quills know. We can make sure that 100 percent of your donations can go to supplying future care packages.
