Tyler Junior College is celebrating annual 'National Day on Writing' a little differently this year,
instead of celebrating it on one day, it will actually take place over the course of a week.
"The National Day on Writing® (October 20), an initiative of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), is built on the premise that writing is critical to literacy but needs greater attention and celebration."
The week-long series of activities includes:
Photo Caption Contest
