Ask and Wonder Song

At the annual songwriting days at Big Ugly, students wrote this song with help from Mira Stanley and Chuck Costa.

The week-long study of the WV Mine Wars at Chapmanville Middle afterschool is a great example of the cultural studies Step by Step fosters.

Here, the kids present a program at Family Night.
