Waco book writing expert partners with McLennan Community College to inspire Kids College students to write a book

WACO, Texas - Aug. 22, 2023 - PRLog -- Many Texas public schools have changed the traditional school week from five days to four. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, "Reasons for implementing the shorter week vary, but most school districts choose a shorter week to cut costs due to budget constraints." In Texas, more than 70 districts will run a four-day school week. The additional day prompted McLennan Community College to run a Kids College program to allow children to participate in interactive learning courses from business professionals in Waco. Kennisha Griffin, an adjunct professor and the owner of Create and Blossom Studios, teaches a storytelling and book publishing course that inspires children to explore their creativity and write a book.

"I was so excited when I was approached with this opportunity from the continuing education department at MCC," says Griffin. "My first course was a huge success. The attending children actively participated, shared amazing stories, and drew their illustrations. I loved watching their excitement and creativity."

Kennisha Griffin has taken her love for storytelling and creating books across central Texas to schools where she encourages students to read more and use their imaginations.

"Writing stories is the perfect way to help our children read more," says Griffin. "This is a great tool to help young children become better readers and effective communicators."

Griffin has another course at MCC scheduled for September 1st at 8 am. She'll teach students in 3rd to 8th grade. She also has a course called Book Publishing 1 and 2 for the fall semester.

In the Kids College program, every Friday, children will experience a range of classes, from arts, hobbies, culinary, gardening, computer classes, and more. Supervised by knowledgeable instructors that strive to engage, educate, and enrich the lives of young adults. Through these offerings, children will foster personal growth through safe, educational, and recreational programs. Visit http://www.mclennan.edu to view available courses.

Kennisha Griffin is available to speak at elementary, middle, and high schools in central Texas. To learn more and contact Kennisha Griffin at Create and Blossom Studios, visit http://www.createandblossomstudios.com.
