- And, the Tucson non-profit Literacy Connects sponsors a group of performers and musicians called “Stories That Soar!”. They help young writers realize the power and potential of bringing their stories to life, for the stage, video, and radio. We are now presenting these stories on the first Thursday of every month here on Arizona Spotlight.
This week, we’ll hear from Rehema, a thoughtful second grader from Drexel Elementary, who wrote about a slice of life that demonstrates her unconditional love for her mom, who she recognizes may not be perfect, but always tries her best.
Aspiring student-age writers can submit their stories to The Magic Box Story Portal now!
Frankie Gelb and Amaya Ravenell perform "The Best Mom" at a "Best of Stories that Soar!" event in May of 2023.
