Two critically acclaimed authors visited the English 10 Creative Writing classes in November: Governor General’s Literary Award finalist Anosh Irani and John Spray Mystery Award winner Eileen Cook. Students were treated to an afternoon of writing wisdom and discussion as they complete short fiction of their own. Our Grade 10s brought thoughtful questions and observations to the discussion, and both authors greatly enjoyed their time with the students. Thank you to the Vancouver Writers Festival and YHS English Department for making these visits possible!

Author Jennifer Holm Visits with Grade 3-7 Students
On October 18, Jennifer Holm, author of the popular graphic novel series Babymouse, Sunny Side Up, The Fourteenth Goldfish, and the newly released The Third Mushroom, visited with Grade 3-7 students.
After a presentation and Q&A in the theatre, a book signing was held in the foyer where students had a chance to have their copy of The Third Mushroom or The Fourteenth Goldfish signed by the author!
