English term

give our story wings

English to French Art/Literary History Enseignement
Bonsoir à tous et à toutes,

"ANY PEOPLE are responsible for making this book possible, but none more than our dear friend Florence Powdermaker. Flo is one of those moms who took the now-famous Nettelhorst school tour and subsequently joined the revolution. She translated her skills in editing and writing into various communications projects for Nettelhorst, including the school’s monthly newsletter and marketing materials. Flo was a natural choice to give our story wings. No one could have been better suited for the job of crafting this story from scribbles on cocktail napkins to the inspirational account you are about to read. Her talent, wit, and boundless energy lifted our spirits whenever tolerance, caffeine or martinis seemed in short supply."

Merci pour vos suggestions.

Pour permettre à notre récit de prendre son envol

Il s’agit d’un livre entier, pas d’une story sur Instagram.
