Students on San Antonio’s South Side have an opportunity to be featured in a new writers program in Live From The Southside magazine. Local students in Grades 3-12 are invited to become contributing writers to the “Kid’s Korner Program.” Students can submit anything from personal essays and poems to songs and speeches to other nonfiction family-friendly pieces that are up to 300 words and four students from Freedom have already been published! “Having some of my students be able to say they are now published authors is such a great feeling! I have seen such a boost in their motivation to write and express their thoughts and opinions. Seeing their photos and published pieces brings such pride to their faces. Our class is very grateful to be part of the collaboration,” shared Fourth Grade Teacher Monica Cruz-Arellano. “I strive for my students to see the endless opportunities available to those who seek them out. If they have a chance to show their community how talented they are, they need to jump at it! I already know how awesome they are and now the entire South Side community knows it too!” Check out some of the great work of Freedom Elementary students.
