Screenwriting was awesome, our kids really loved these activities. It was also really nice to provide such a creative curriculum that addresses the standards in such a fun way. This gave our staff a break from coming up with new programming ideas and allowing them to get back to building relationships with kids. ~ H. Sanderson, Director (After School, City of Fairfield, CA)
