"The Crestomere Junior High organized a Genius Hour club during the COVID-19 pandemic. The students who joined the group were tasked with choosing a specific skill, subject, or area of focus and dedicating one hour each day to practicing/studying/researching their chosen topic. Each Crestomere Cougar was linked up with an expert in their field. These experts provided mentorship and advice so the Cougars could hit the ground running. Two of our Cougars, Brooke and Taylor, aspire to become professional writers. Minister Faust (novelist, poet, journalist, and more) agreed to do a Q & A with the gals to help them on their writing journey."
