Our Stories, Ourselves: If Money Was No Object

In this four-part writing workshop, parents and children will embark on a journey of creativity
and imagination. Using prompts and exercises to inspire their writing, participants will explore
what they would wish for and what their world would look like if money was not a concern.
Whether participants are experienced writers or just starting out, this series offers an opportunity
for parents and children to explore their creativity together, connect with others, and bring their
shared imaginations to life. This class is appropriate for families with children entering grade 3
and up.
