PEN/Faulkner Foundation -- Writers in Schools PEN/Faulkner Writers in Schools is a literary arts outreach program for DC public high school students. Since 1989, PEN/Faulkner has brought nationally-known writers into classrooms for small group sessions. They provide free copies of an author’s book to students, along with resources to aid teachers in preparing for the author’s visit. In addition, they are involved with inspiring interest in modern literature in settings such as teen parent programs and juvenile justice centers. Arts & Technology Academy Public Charter School ATA is a Pre-K through 6th grade program in NE Washington. They incorporate performing, visual and media arts instruction as well as modern technology into the state curriculum standards. 97 percent of the students are from low-income families. Woodlawn Cemetery Association This historic 115-year-old cemetery in SE Washington has long been neglected by the community. Through a partnership with the Young Playwrights Theater, the stories and rich cultural heritage of the 30,000 largely African-American individuals who are buried there will be embraced by a new generation of Washingtonians.
