Teacher Consultant, Tim Hillmer, Retires from CWP!

He was instrumental in helping us build our curriculum over the years, asking hard questions and helping us develop our vision for CWP.

And YOU are the teacher who’ll decide where to go. Continue reading

She is retiring from CWP to take on new life adventures, and we will miss her dearly: Continue reading

Boulder’s 2019 CWP celebrates two weeks of writing and learning with a little yoga, sharing of wonderful writing and connection projects, delicious food, laughter, and community.
CWP Cherry Creek 2019 Celebrates!
We sixed it up at Wendi’s house (excellent AC to combat the heat wave) with fantastic connections projects, polished pieces, and festive treats – the culmination of two weeks of “keepin’ it real” writing and learning together. 
Planning retreat 2019
We’re making plans. We looking forward to seeing you in workshops this summer. We’re also planning some 2-day workshops for school year 2019-2020.
Happy writing!
