Calais High School Creative Writing Students; Aidon Gibson, Erik Garland, Noah Hart, and Derek Meyers along with CHS teachers Lori Ellis, Brandi Cline, Bobbi Tardiff, and Lisa Brown attended the First Annual Washington County Young Writers' Conference at Machias Memorial High School on a Saturday 4/27. These students did an amazing job during this conference and included students from Jonesport, Machias, and CCLC. The students explored fiction writing, map building, and overcoming writer's block. They also brought sample stories to be critiqued by others. Also, credit to Charlotte Peasley, who entered a piece of writing but was unable to attend the conference.
This conference was a success and we look forward to bringing more writers to next year's event on Saturday, May 3, 2025. If you are interested please see one of the teachers listed.

Julien Poydras and Margaret Haughrey are real historic individuals and Mr. Poydras gave a large lot and house on Poydras Street for the purpose of establishing an asylum for orphans. Established in 1830. Lafayette No. 1 can be found, with the Poydras Orphan's Rest Tomb, in New Orleans. Events in the play are fictional other than this documented history.
