Happy Throwback Thursday! Enjoy this long portrait of the class of 1929. The photographer took the picture by placing the students in a circle and using a string to mark where one picture ended to perfectly splice all the students together as one large photo 📷🎓
This Wednesday we bring you pics from the ReadingCorps cookout. We grilled some hamburgers and hotdogs for the tutors to chow down on while we handed out awards and gifts congratulating them on their year of service. Thanks to all of you for your hard work this year!🍔🌭📚🏆
For this Traditional Arts Tuesday, tune in for a special collaborative song by the kids in our Dyslexia Program. The all worked very hard and showed us their creative songwriting flare. 🎶🔥
OK this is now an "Ear Worm" I cannot get the chorus out of my head. Because today is indeed a very good day. Sure don't know about tomorrow.
Monday Morning Mention: We wrapped up Writers’ Workshop last week in the same way we always do. We ended the week of inspiration, expression, and phenomenal food with a group picture and the Briar Sermon.
It was such a blessing to be back on campus. Hats off to all of you who worked so hard to make it work both online and in person. Not an easy feat!!! The food was absolutely heavenly and the campus never looked better. Bravo! Brava!
It’s the Appalachian Writer’s Workshop! This week the Troublesome Boys sat down with Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle and Mandi Fugate Sheffel to discuss the forging of their friendship through the Writer’s Workshop, their writing processes, and what they hope to get out of this year’s workshop.

Flashback from the 1987 Workshop!

I was there for the workshop that year and learned to identify myself as an Appalachian writer. That identity made me proud and inspired me to continue to write what my genes, my heart and memories dictated. I like to think I made a difference in enlightening readers and writers who attended some of my readings and workshops.
We were thrilled to welcome Workshop alum Sarah McCartt-Jackson to campus to lead a poetry writing weeklong residency for studets in Hindman Settlement School‘s Summer Dyslexia Tutoring Program.
Check out their creativity!For this Dyslexia Monday, we bring you wonderful works of the written word by the children in the dyslexia Program. Indulge in these artistic interpretations of the world through their youthful eyes.
"At the time when I made it I wasn’t really going through anything of a certain nature, just kind of feeling down and feeling stuck because nothing had really changed…So I made that piece you know, just to keep your faith. Things are going to get better you just have to keep working at it."
