“[Rebecca’s writing group] is a safe haven for me and many other kids, and she helps foster that atmosphere. There’s no roughhousing, no meanness, purely people creating. She walks around the entire time, asking about our stories and answering questions.” – 8th grade student, Trinity Episcopal School
