The mission of the Desert Island Supply Co. is to work alongside Birmingham students as they develop the creative tools to explore and document their worlds.
Today, @discobirmingham is hosting their Epic-Read-a-Thon from midnight to midnight and @BTWRams scholars stole the show during the 10:00 hour! These are poems they wrote with DISCO over this school year that will be published! ๐ชฉ๐ชฉ๐ชฉ #alabamaachieves
My afternoon was spent with these amazing kids who have chosen to spend their precious summer days at a writing camp! DISCO is a wonderful community partner for our Birmingham schools! โ๏ธ๐ชฉ๐ #thewritestuff
What makes a rainy morning better? Poetry, first graders, and a passionate teacher!!! @discobirmingham is doing some powerful work in AL schools by challenging students to think creatively. Partnership with DISCO=critical thinkers ๐ชฉ๐

The way Barry describes paper, as a place for an experience, reminds me of Desert Island Supply Co, a local nonprofit, and their philosophy on writing. #EH204
