Social Media, HWS students, and Boost!

Children from the Boost Afterschool Enrichment Program (including North Street and West Street Elementary Schools and St. Stephen’s School) participated weekly in Professor Michele Polak’s Writer's Seminar. The HWS students applied the tools learned in class about writing and social media by teaching their partner students about digital texts, and built lasting relationships throughout the semester.
