Disney World
By : Grace
I went to Disney World. I went to all of the places.. I rode on buses and on a boat. I also lost a tooth! When I came back, I played the Game of Life and watched the Haunted Mansion.

March Mail is coming up
soon in school! The second grad-
ers are delivering the mail. The
first graders and second graders
get to write the mail. You have to
buy stamps to mail a letter. They
cost 10 cents each. The money is
for the food pantry.
I like March Mail.

It Hatched!
By: Emmet O’Leary
At the Science Museum, I saw a chick hatch with my own eyes. It was amazing! I saw it right after the taste test. My Mom was the one to get my attention. A funny thing that I saw was a chick that was stuck on his back! I love going to the Science Mu-
seum. It’s really fun!!!
THE PHANTOM MENACE
By: Connor
Over the weekend, I saw The Phantom Menace. It was cool and sad because someone died. I loved it! Obi-Wan sur-vived. A Jedi Master died. Obi-Wan destroyed Darth Maul. He cut him in half. It is a very cool movie. It is my favorite Star Wars movie so far.

The Jump-a-thon The Jump-a-thon
By Brayden and Julian
The new Miller playground costs $175,000. The school has just over $80,000 but they still need $95,000 more. The Miller play-ground will be nearly 4,500 square feet. There will still be more fund-raisers for the Miller playground. There will be a dodgeball tourna-ment, thank a teacher, spring fund-
raiser and maybe a fun run.

The Placentino Bricks
By Mia
I had an interview with Mrs. Weene
about the Placentino bricks. I asked
her who had the idea. She said that
she had the idea. She said after all
the bricks were around the school,
the students in the school are going
to have a big care party.
Alvin and the Chipmunks

vacation. We got lots of popcorn at the movies.
Simon and Theodore went on a hike and they could not
find their way back.
Our Plants

Hailey and I planted plants. We
planted strawberry seeds and an

The Environment
By Sally Sousa
The environment is a special place for me and you. You do not want to liter because it is bad for the environment. It’s bad for you and me. It’s also a crime. Make sure to recycle. You should do good things to the earth. Then you
will get good things back.
Leprechauns
By Topher
Leprechauns are real. Sometimes they are invisi-
ble. They like gold.
They are fast. They are sneaky. If you put your shoes under your bed on St. Patrick’s Day, the lepre-chauns will put candy in
them
The Jump-a-thon
By: Sophia
The Miller play-ground is getting replaced with a new one. It cost a lot of money, so the third graders jumped rope for 2 hours. The second and first graders danced to 2 songs called “The Macarena” and “YMCA”. It was those 2 songs mixed up to-gether and then at the end of it we did a little choo choo dance. Then we all said, “Ta da!” and we kneeled down on our knees. It was
fun!!!
Jump for Miller Playground!
By: Hailey
Last week, the 4th and 5th graders
jumped rope. The 1st graders did the
“Macarena” and then after that the 4th
and 5th graders jumped rope again!
The 1st graders came back for the
wrap-up. We raised a lot of money for
the Miller playground!
