  67. Oops! I almost forgot! Welcome Carter and Arielle!

    Why you should be happy to be in Mr.Buxton's class!!

    1) He teaches everything in an creative, exciting way.
    2) Our writing and vocabulary improves drastically (a lot)
    3) He improves our knowledge on technology

    What you can do at recess in SAS:

    1) If you like playing soccer you can check out the soccer field and football field next to the PS Cafeteria
    2) Near the IS Office there you can play Table Tennis, Foosball, or Air Hockey.
    3) Opposite the Soccer Field is the Flying Fox Playground and near the IS Office is also the Swing Playground.

  70. Mosquitoes

    By Nakul Sharma

    Blood-sucker
    Scratch maker
    Family hater
    Flying creeper
    Silent scarer
    Death-eater
    Makes you swat
    or you’re caught
    If you run
    Then you’re done
    Because it’ll give you
    A bump and a boo boo
    You scream “Stay away!!”
    But it’ll make his way
    The only thing you can do
    is kill that pest who flew
