  • Laura Anastasia

    Editor

    Bradenton, FL

     

    I’ve been writing and editing articles for kids and teens for more than 20 years. My favorite part is getting to learn something new just about every day. I also love the challenge of helping students discover how historical events and other social studies topics connect to their lives.

  • Kelly Roberts

    Art Director

    New York, NY

     

    As someone who is dyslexic, I have always been a visual learner. I was lucky enough to land the Art Director position for Junior Scholastic where I work with the editors, photo team, and illustrators to visually tell the stories that run in every issue.
