This school year, kids from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade were given an opportunity to participate in an exciting writing event. Manatees Write by Moonlight was developed by a group of students. The kids decided to assign a writing prompt at each Full Moon. Participants could respond to the prompt with any genre of writing. Once submitted, the kids were called to the front lobby and received a Moon Pie and take pictures with Administration to celebrate. The writing was scored and a tally was kept for each prompt throughout the school year. This culminating event wasn't complete until parents, faculty, staff, and students gathered on a warm May evening to celebrate the authors, look through telescopes at the moon, and announce the winners. I am so proud that my student, Hayden, won for second grade. BIG APPLAUSE!! Today the kids received their writing back and a printed copy of the FIRST EVER... Manatees Write by Moonlight Magazine!
