Welcome to Down Home, San Luis Obispo Classical Academy’s blog! We are a classical school offering several options to make our education work for families with infants through high schoolers. Our signature hybrid program, which is part-time classroom and part-time home instruction, provides an engaging education for preschool through middle school (with full time options available). We also have a university model high school. This blog is meant to support and encourage on the home front because, in so many ways, the heart of what happens at SLO Classical Academy happens down home.
Today we have a WONDERing opportunity for your creatively-inspired students! Rebecca Casagrande, one of our parents, notified us of not only a fantastic event but one that will also will help foster WONDER in your children. This writing opportunity through Story Warren is presented by artist and illustrator, Jamin Still. We have included Story Warren’s original post below for you to read through. You can also go directly to their website for more details on the parameters.
Do you know a budding storyteller between the ages of four and eighteen? Our friend, artist Jamin Still has a terrific opportunity to offer them.

Jamin has generously donated this beautifully magical painting as a story illustration. What that story says is up to your budding writer! Have your young author write a bit of short fiction, 1,000 words or less, inspired by Jamin’s painting, and send it to me in the body of an email: [email protected] by November 1, 2018. (We’re counting on you, as parent or guardian, to approve your child’s submission and the name or pen-name you want to appear with his or her story. Please include your author’s age.)
I will post our three favorite short stories on StoryWarren.com during November and December of 2018, and in December all the stories I receive* will be digitally bound into a printable PDF with Jamin’s painting as the cover. Then we will include a link for downloading the PDF in our weekly email, Warren and the World, so each contributor can print their own story, with Mr. Still’s illustration. Subscribe to Warren and the World to receive your link!
Let us know if your student ends up submitting their short story! Enjoy and happy writing!
