They have been writing poems and designing backgrounds for these, focusing on the changes that military children go through and also did some amazing artwork inspired by dandelions and the artist Georgia O’Keefe. They also had lots of fun today, enjoying an ice cream in the sun! A big thank you to BFBS for helping make today so memorable.
