Girls On The Run INSIDE THIS ISSUE

By Emily B.

Did you know that GOTR stands for Girls

On The Run? We do not just run, we learn self-confidant and life skills.

We run a practice 5k around the neighborhood close to school, and run a

5k at the end of the season. We also have a year-end party usually held at

the field house! We meet and run two times a week. We can run with

friends too! If you are a girl in 3rd -5th grades you can sign up for Girls On

The Run.

Oh, and did I mention that if you raise over $100 you will get a cape for

raising money for the scholarship? This is not all we do. There’s also a

community service project to help our community our in various ways. For

a couple of years we helped out the SPCA, and we also did the Allen

Myers for the people who are working on the Holland Road expansion.

We made goodie bags for them and in return they gave us each a t-shirt.

We do not always get us stuff in return, but we do it for the good of our

community,and we enjoy that very much. I hope that you enjoyed my

article on Girls on the Run!!!

Pugs By Samantha N.

Pugs have been around since they were brought from China to Europe in the sixteenth

century and were popularized in Western Europe.

In the United Kingdom, in the nineteenth century, Queen Victoria developed a passion

for pugs which she passed on to other members of the Royal family. Pugs have wrinkles,

short-muzzled faces, and very curly tails.

Did you know that a pug was judged best in show at the World Dog Show in 2004?

Pugs can live up to 12-15 years. Also a pug should be walked about 2 times a day. Enjoy your

pug!!!!

Mars/Space Travel by Arielle P.

Hello my name is Arielle. I will be taking you on a journey t0 Mars and space

travel to help you learn about amazing things.

Why scientists think humans can live on Mars…

Scientists think humans can live on Mars because, unlike other planets such as

Saturn, that has gases that are poisonous, Venus, which is too hot, Mars is the only

other planet with water and carbon dioxide that can be turned in to oxygen. The Moon

does not have enough water or oxygen for humans to survive. You’re probably

wondering where the water on Mars is. The water on Mars is located in the polar ice

caps and in the vapor in the atmosphere.

What the challenges of space travel are…

Next, we are going to talk about space travel. There are a lot of space travel

challenges. For example, you must take everything with you because there is no

supermarket in space. Astronauts don’t usually get enough sleep because there is a

40-minute time difference than here on Earth. Additionally, you have to fix everything

yourself because there is no 911, and if you get into trouble, you would have to ask

the astronauts on a spaceship for help. Another problem is that everything floats

because there is less gravity. Less gravity makes you weightless after a while that

will weaken your muscles and bones. Last but not least, and it takes seven to eight

months to Mars there and back in a spaceship.

What would it be like for people who spend time on Mars…?

When people begin to live on Mars they’ll have to have special shelters and

clothing to protect them from solar radiation and other environment problems. The

special clothing will protect their blood boiling from the radiation, and then freezing to

death because Mars is always cold. The reason for this is because Mars’ atmosphere

is so thin the sunlight comes right in then out. There is no atmosphere to keep the

warmth of the sun in. On Mars there is a different day-and-night cycle so it could

affect the astronaut’s sleep. They might be grouchy in the morning.

I hope you had a fun time on this adventure learning about space travel and

Mars.

The Bubbles Family by Kaitlin S.

The Bubbles family is one bubbly family. The Bubbles family is Tetra fish.

In oldest to youngest their names are… Mr. Bubbles, Mrs. Bubbles,

Bubbles, Bubbles Jr., Bubblegum, Bub, Bubble Bop, Bubble Trouble,

Bubblelicous, Neon #1, Neon #2, Neon #3, and last but not least Neon #4. The sad thing is Bubbles, Neon #1,

Neon #3 and Neon #4 died. The fish that have the word bubbles in it look identical to the fish in the top left

corner, except mine are pink, purple, and blue. The fish with the word neon in it looks identical to the fish

pictured in the top right corner.

I got my fish for Christmas and boy, was I delighted! So let me tell you how I noticed my fish on

Christmas morning. First when we got up in the morning my dad and grandma were at my house then while

we were opening presents in the living room. My grandma heard some water running and she asked my dad

about it (and my dad didn’t know that we didn’t know about the fish) so my dad said it was just the fish

tank! I thought, “WOW, WHAT? A FISH TANK???”

Since then, when I got my fish, fish have become my favorite animal. First of all, fish aren’t too much

work. Second of all, fish are very colorful and fun to watch. Third of all, if you ever go broke and starve you

can eat your fish.

I love the Bubbles family and maybe someday you might get a fish too!

THE GILA MONSTER by Melanie Joy D.

Have you ever heard of the Gila Monster? Well, it’s not really a monster. The Gila Monster is a species of

venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexican state of Sonora.

As a heavy, typically slow-moving lizard, up to 60 cm (2.0 ft.) long, the Gila Monster is the only

venomous lizard native to the United States and one of the only two species of venomous lizards in North

America. The other being its close relative, the Mexican Beaded Lizard. Though the Gila Monster is

venomous, it’s sluggish nature means it represents little threat to humans. However, it has earned a

fearsome reputation and has sometimes killed despite being protected by state law.

Distribution and Habitats

They inhabit scrub land, like the succulent desert, and oak woodland, seeking shelter in burrows,

thickets, and under rocks in locations with ready access to moisture. In fact, Gila Monsters seem to like

water and can be observed immersing themselves in puddles of water after a summer rain. They avoid living

in open areas such as flats and farmland.

P.S I wrote this to inform you about Gila Monsters and because they interest me.


War by: Addison M. War is tough. I know that because my dad was serving in a war when I was born on

May 18th, 2009. I didn’t get to see him until he came back. I did not know when he’d come

back and I really missed him so much. He was the last one in the family who got to hold me

and that made me sad until my mom explained to me that he’d left his assignment to early to

be able to come see me. I appreciated that so much!

All about Louis Braille By Samantha N.

Braille is a reading system of dots and dashes to help the blind people

read. This system was invented by a man named Louis Braille.

Braille became blind when he was about 3 or 4. He was in his fa-

ther’s workshop and stabbed his eye with a sharp, pointy tool. At his time

there was nothing they could do, but when Braille was older he was sent to

the National Institute for Blind Youth in France.

His nights were awful and most nights he couldn’t sleep. But one

day this was about to change. A military worker visited the National Institute for Blind Youth and talked about a code of

dots and dashes they used in the military to communicate. That gave Louis the idea to make a system of dots and dashes

for the blind to be able to read.

This is how Louis was inspired. He often worked on the code at nights when his bunkmates were asleep.

Louis’s dream of being published was achieved. As you can see, it was great that Louis Braille had a dream of helping

others.

Lesson Learned by Raegan M.

Three years ago Mean Milson was meaner than ever.

He and his friends went to West Wilson Elementary School. Mean

Milson didn’t care about anyone but himself and his best friends.

There are lots of other reasons the kids called him Mean Milson.

For example, if you walked through the hall and accidently bumped into him or

one of his buddies, he would throw you to the ground and punch you in the face so you would

have a black eye for a week. One day a little boy, Davis Democracy, walked past Mean

Milson in the hall while reading a book he’d just gotten from the library and when Davis, with

his head in the book, bumped into Mean Milson he got pushed to the ground and punched in

the eye. From that day on no one liked Mean Milson.

Now, here is why they call him Mean Milson, if you were on the playground without

asking him if you could be he’d kick you in the shin and if you were talking without Milson

he would call you mean names such as stupid face and brainiac.

But one day a girl named Kylie saw Mean Milson crying on the bench while everybody

else was playing. So she went over to see if he was okay. All she got out of Milson was I don’t

want to be a bully anymore and I don’t have any friends. Kylie knew she had to help him now.

He didn’t want to be bully any more. So Kylie said, “I’ll be your friend. And I will see if

anyone else will want to be your friend like umm…Davis Democracy!” So for the next few

days Kylie was trying to get Davis to be Milson’s friend but because of how Milson punched

him in the eye Davis said, “NO!” So now he knows being a friend is better than being a bully.

THE END


The Crazy Dream By Emily B.

One day I woke up…but I was feeling confused, and I did not know what happened! I

was on the roof of our house. I was so frightened, and then I looked outside and there was a

black hole!

Now I was really scared!

‘’Was I in my in house? ‘’ I thought.

“BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.” Oh! my gosh! That was the weirdest dream ever!

I raced down the stairs.

“I am going to be late for school,” I thought I would miss the bus, too. I was finally

ready to go to school, and I had five spare minutes to play on my phone. Wait a minute!

Where is my phone?

“LIANA,’’ I yelled. I know that you have my phone. She did not listen to me, and so I

had to go get it really quickly.

Finally, I had my phone. And then the bus arrived.

“The bus is here, bye, mom.

‘’Hi Rosa,” I say (she is my best friend ever).

“May I sit with you? ‘’

‘’Yes,’’ she says.

‘’Did you have a crazy dream?‘’

‘’No,’’ I had one, and it was like Alice In Wonderland! I wonder what dream I will have

tonight?”

“Hey, today is Friday! Do you want to sleep over at my house tonight! Ok! It is a sleep

over at my place!

The Dragon of Illerea By Lucas K. Skyfall was a beautiful dragon that lived long

ago. She usually lived alone. But one summer

day, deep in the forest, Skyfall met another

dragon, and she felt very nervous. She had

never met another dragon, other than her

mother. This was definitely not her mother.

This dragon was much taller than her or any-

thing else she’d ever seen. It was also a differ-

ent color. While she is the color of pure sap-

phire, this new dragon, Draftsign, was a light

emerald.

“Who are you?” Skyfall asked.

“My name is Draftsign.” he said. His voice

was much quieter, Skyfall thought.

“Who are you?” he asked.

“My name is Skyfall.” she answered.

“Can you help me find my mother?” she

asked.

“Of course!” he said. “What is her name?”

“Sunlight,” she said.

“Favorite color,” he asked.

“Red” she answered.

He seemed to be writing in a notebook.

Would this dragon help Skyfall? And will she find her mother? Find that out in

part three!


The Dragon of Illerea: Part Three By Lucas K.

After Skyfall found her mother’s scale, she was more confident than ever. It was

nearly four months after she had lost her mother and had met Draftsign. Now she had

evidence and was certain that her mother was in the area.

Just then, Skyfall heard a deep rumbling. But where was it

coming from? Suddenly the mountain she was searching

in started to crumble! She tried to fly away, but her foot

was stuck in between two humongous rocks. Skyfall

scratched and fought, but still came up with no success.

Eventually she thought, I’m going to die here. The moun-

tain gave one last rumble, then sat still and Skyfall discovered that her foot was free.

She found a way out of the cave, so she took it as fast as she could. Suddenly rocks

started to fall all around her again! Skyfall tried to get out of the tunnel, but it was

blocked. She whirled around but the way she had come was blocked too! She was

trapped! The mountain stopped moving and Skyfall realized that she was sitting on the

top of a dragon palace that was rapidly-moving upward. Skyfall thought, Oh-No! I

think I’m on the king’s fortress! The king was a very kind gentleman, but showed no

mercy towards uninvited visitors. On the one talon, Skyfall never, ever wanted to meet

the king because she was nervous and scared. On the other talon, she thought that

meeting the royal family would be pretty cool. On the third talon, she wondered what

the king looked like for nobody had ever seen him except the other members of royalty.

Suddenly she saw a flock of dragons flying toward her with Skyfall’s mother, Sunlight, in

the lead! When the dragons reached her, Skyfall’s mother wrapped her wings around

her daughter.

“Skyfall!” her mother said happily. “Guess who’s the king? Your father!”

And Skyfall was so happy that Sunlight led her to her father, whose name was Sunhigh.

They had a big feast and lived happily ever after.


DanTDM by Calla I.

Daniel Middleton was born on November 8th, 1991, and is an English YouTube personality and professional

gamer who goes by the name of The Diamond Minecart or DanTDM. His channels covers video games,

especially the popular games like Minecraft and PokemonGo. He also has a blog under the name of

MoreTDM, where he covers toys, such as Hatchimals, and his tours. As of March 2017, his channel had over

9.5 billion views and 14.5 million subscribers, and has been listed among the top YouTube channels in the

United Kingdom. He has earned several Kids' Choice Awards as well as set Guinness World Records for his

gaming and presenting. He has also been playing a lot of Roblox lately. I like to watch his random videos

where he picks a topic, and searches for games related to this topic on a website, and then plays them! He also

plays a lot of Hello Neighbor. I hope everyone can grow to liking Dan as much as me because he is very

funny and entertaining for all ages.

Games and Entertainment

Relient K by Calla I.

My favorite Christian Rock band is Reliant K. Reliant K is an American rock

band that was formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio, by Matt Thiessen, Matt Hoopes,

and Brian Pittman during their junior year of high school. The current members

are John Warne, Jon Schneck, Brian Pittman, Todd Frascone, Stephen

Cushman, Brett Schoneman, Jared Byers, and Ethan Luck. They have written a

lot songs, but my absolute favorite is Sadie Hawkins Dance. In the United States

and Canada, the Sadie Hawkins Dance is usually an informal dance sponsored

by a high school, middle school or college. It is unlike traditional dances, where

the guys ask the girls, such as homecoming in the fall or prom in the spring, be-

cause the girls ask the guys. This empowers women to chase after what they want and not just wait for it to

walk their way.

Maybe It’s Maybelline is a good one too! Maybelline LLC is a major cosmetics company also known as

Maybelline, New York. The song refers to it many times. Like, [we’re all sinners, we’re all ugly] and then

Maybelline’s motto, [maybe we’re born with, or maybe it’s Maybelline] although, the motto is really [maybe

she’s born with it, or maybe it’s Maybelline]. It means we blame someone for our actions at some point,

and we cover it up so no one knows.

Another one of their songs is even based off of a TV show! The song I’m Lion-O is based off of a show

called ThunderCats. ThunderCats is an American animated series based on a group

of cat-like humanoid aliens. The show was created by Tobin "Ted" Wolf and

animated by Japanese animation studio, Pacific Animation Corporation. The charac-

ters were originally featured in an animated television series named ThunderCats,

that ran from 1985 to 1989.

The Jacksonville Jaguars by Sebastian W.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are an NFL football team in the AFC south division.

Fun Fact: The Jaguars were founded in 1995.

Their Mascot: The Jaguars’ Mascot is Jaxson de Ville. All I know about him is that Sir Purr,

Roary (The Detroit Lions Mascot), and Who Dey (The Cincinnati Bengals’ Mascot) are all

buddies.

This is Jaxson de Ville.

The Stadium

The Jaguars’ stadium is Everbank Field. It has hosted two Superbowls, one of which was the

Buccaneers vs Raiders. It has a swimming pool on top of it. One game in the 2016 season,

when they crushed their rivals, the Colts 51-17, the pool was so crowded that they had to limit

the amount of people that could be in the pool even though the pool is huge.

Their Uniforms: The Jaguars’ home uniform is black with a gold

collar and a patch of turquoise on both shoulders. The Jaguars’

away uniform is white with a gold collar and a patch of black on

both shoulders.

Jaguars’ alternate uniform is turquoise, a gold collar and a patch of black on both shoulders.

.

The Jaguars’ rush uniforms are gold with a black collar and a patch of black on both shoul-

ders.

Their very special helmets:

In 2009 the Jaguars changed their helmet from black to matte black and gold. They are the

first team to have their helmets change color. When the sun hits direct sunlight on the

helmets they turn all teal

and

The Jaguars fired their head coach, Gus Bradley, in December, 2016 because he wasn’t

coaching them very well. They hired a new head coach, Doug Marrone. Ever since they hired

Marrone, they have won the rest of their games in the 2016 season. The Jacksonville Jaguars

have a bright future with Doug Marrone on their side as head coach.

The Arrow & the Song By Arielle P.

I shot an arrow into the air,

It fell to earth, I knew not where.

For, so swiftly it flew, and out of sight,

I could not see it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,

It fell to earth, I knew not where.

For who has hearing so keen and strong,

That it can follow the flight of a song?

A few days later in an oak,

I found the arrow still unbroke,

And a beautiful song, from beginning to end,

I found again in a heart of a friend.

This Boat Doesn’t Float By Samantha N.

Not even on the moat nor bay

Is there a hole in the side on the boat?

My boat can float Hip, Hip Hooray!

My life’s a rejoice no need to cheer

But now there’s a hole sitting up on the pier!

I dig a big hole

And I don’t like the color purple

Again I’m a pug

I like to lick

Please give me a hug

I don’t kick
