Summer Writing Workshops at Nehemiah Center:
Firat Educational Solutions (FES) is proud to present its first annual Summer Writing Workshops for Houston-area students whose grade levels range from 3rd to 12th!  Why focus on writing?  Simply because writing is one of the more, if not the most, important fundamental educational skills for virtually anyone, at any age.  We designed FES Summer Writing Workshops to enhance your children's writing skills, styles, and confidence at an early age.  Most importantly, they will have fun at the same time as they learn. 

Registration deadline for all workshops is June 10, 2009.  Due to limited capacity, we advise your children to register as early as possible. Please review the different workshops and sessions catered to different grade levels below, and visit our website at http://Summer.FESHouston.com for more information and registration.  We look forward to providing your children with educational solutions for life.™

All workshops will be held at Nehemiah Center.
Address: 5015 Fannin St., Houston, TX 77004.

We will donate 25% of all proceeds from the Summer Writing Workshops to the Nehemiah Center.  Registering your children to our workshops will help underprivileged children of Houston and their families.  Join our cause!
