"Hello!
I am writing on behalf of the intermediate staff and students of Highglen Montessori.  At Highglen, we have several student writers who are currently working independently on creative writing projects that they hope to publish through the school.

I was hoping that you could help us by putting the call out to students with strong writing skills to come to Highglen Montessori as volunteer editors.  The Highglen students would prepare a piece of writing that they are hoping to publish, and student volunteers would work with them on editing and polishing their work.  The volunteers would edit the Highglen students’ work for grammar, punctuation, idea development and voice.

We would like to arrange for these sessions as soon as possible.  UNBC students would be welcome to schedule their time at Highglen between the hours of 9am and 2pm, according to the volunteer’s availability.  Volunteer students who are interested in helping out should be able to offer ongoing support to the Highglen students. Our hope is that a working relationship between students and volunteers can be developed over the remainder of the year, and hopefully extending into the following year, as well.

At the end of their time with the Highglen students, each student volunteer would be provided with a letter of support from our school’s principal.  This is a great opportunity for students to connect with the community and begin to build their skills, experience and resume for their future careers!

Please have students email me for further information at:

Thank you for your time!
