Featured Students: Mooberry Champions
Mooberry Elementary School students in the Champions after school program love journaling, as evidenced by these pictures of them working hard on their creations. Students can pick from a variety of prompts and styles - from writing about something they would like to learn, drawing a pie chart of their favorite foods in their stomach, or discussing a special memory they have with their family, among many other options. Way to go, students!
