At the beginning of March, nearly 300 student artists and writers gathered at Utah State University in the United States. They showed their creativity at the 26th annual Young Writers and Artists Party. Student writers shared their stories and poetry. And they got advice from professional writers. Others also attended workshops(工作坊) on telling stories, writing and creating art.
Though most students write stories in the classroom, they try to make their works more creative and open-ended. This year’s writing theme is “The Power of One”. It encourages students to use creativity to change the world. Jeannie is an art teacher from South Cache Middle School. She thinks that students need opportunities like this to express themselves. As teenagers, they can be very sensitive(敏感的) and start to care about other teenagers' opinions.
Megan, an eighth-grader at the school, wrote her own version of the classic story Cinderella. She learned a lot about writing and enjoyed feedback from professional writers.
While some students focused on writing, others created pottery(陶艺), photography and drawings. Lisa, an art teacher, led groups of students to create clothing and accessories(饰品) with reused materials. She taught students tips on how to make accessories, and gave some examples from movies. Everyone in the group had hands-on and experimental practice.

Students at St. Peter's Lutheran School are helping fight hunger in Guatemala by volunteering with Love the Hungry, a non-profit organization (非盈利组织).
"St. Peter's Lutheran School has worked with the organization over the last few years. But this year it provided more help by asking larger part of its students to take part," said Scott Krueger, a parent of three daughters who attend the school.
