The National Day on Writing:
- points to the importance of writing instruction and practice at every grade level, for every student and in every subject area from preschool through university (see The Genteel Unteaching of America’s Poor),
- emphasizes the lifelong process of learning to write and composing for different audiences, purposes, and occasions, and
- encourages Americans to write and enjoy and learn from the writing of others.

Back To School, Back To School
Hello and welcome to my CCLOG. My name is Ashley Rubolotta.
This is my fifth year at Craig High School. I am an English teacher responsible for writing, literature and performing arts classes. If you ever need to contact me, please e-mail me at arubolotta@craigschool.org. Beyond academics, I am also the newspaper/school magazine advisor and one of the two National Honor's Society's advisers, the other being Mrs. Bhakta.
From time to time I may post an amusing story or a helpful link to my home page or class specific pages, which can be found on the sidebar. Biweekly posts will be made to update you on the great things we are covering. Be sure to check for new content.
So welcome back to another great year at Craig! I look forward to working with all of you this year. I hope your transition back to school was just as exciting as, but smoother than, Adam Sandler's transition back.*
