Writers Guild
The Writers Guild is a club for students in grades 9-12 who have an interest in writing. The Guild is moderated by Mr. Todd Benware and meets twice a week after school to share original stories, poems, and essays. It is also a forum to share ideas and discuss writing in general in a very non-threatening atmosphere. Some meetings involve writing exercises. The Guild sponsors CBA's annual Poetry Reading and Arts Performance, complete with a Slam Poetry Competition. This allows CBA's writers and musicians an opportunity to share their talents with an audience.


Allison Porzio '04 was the winner of the 2001 Syracuse Penwomen Poetry Contest. She is shown with Mr. Benware accepting her ribbon and certificate.


Joshua Huling '01, a member of the Writer's Guild is shown here reading at Happy Endings Coffeehouse.


In December, the Writer's Guild made holiday cards for patients spending their holidays in the VA hospital in Syracuse. This photo is of some of the Guild members delivering their cards. They are from left to right: Jennie Huling, Caitlin Gucker-Kanter, Colleen McAllister, the VA Volunteer Coordinator and CBA teacher Todd Benware.
