For the Love of Words - Thank You

Dear Covenant Community, 

Last Thursday, four of our Rhetoric students (Cooper Marr, Naomi Newsome, Finley Smith, Topher Unruh) read their creative writing at For The Love of Words, a partnership we have with Art House Dallas.

What a great evening!  So much time and effort goes into these events, and I am grateful to see the fruit of all of their labors.  

As always, the audience was impressed by the depth of our students’ writing and their ability to read with confidence and color.  I told them their powers had a lot to do with the intentionality of our program.  Stories are so much a part of our program.  Our youngest read a variety of great stories, but they also memorize scripture, poems, and speeches.  So, by the time they reach rhetoric school, their imaginations are full and fertile grounds for creative writing.

Thank you all who attended For the Love of Words with Art House Dallas!  If you missed it, we hope to see you next year.

Mr. Tohlen, Academic Dean, Naming the Animals Sponsor
