Everything Stays

By Olvia Olson

Let's go in the garden, you’ll find something waiting

Right where you left it, lying upside-down

When you finally find it

You can see it’s faded

The underside is lighter when you turn it around

Everything stays, right where you left it

Everything stays, but it still changes

Ever so slightly

Daily and nightly

In little ways

When everything stays.

All American Town

By Ember Hernandez

I wanted to discuss one of the many books I love: Not Your All-American Girl. It’s about a girl named Lauren Howitz, and she is a beautiful singer who loves to make buttons, hang out with The Royal We, and sing with her family.

She and her best friend, Tara, try out for a musical called All American Town, but Lauren didn’t get the part because she was an Asian-American. I love the way Lauren fights for her honor, stands up to racial slurs, and tells the stories of her not-so-all-american song. This story tells the fight of everyone who needs to stand for America. I highly recommend this story when it comes out in July.

How Doth the Little Crocodile

By Lewis Carol
How doth the little crocodile,

Improve his shining tail,

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golden scale!


How cheerfully he seems to grin,

How he neatly spreads his claws,

And welcomes little fishes in,

With gently smiling jaws!

Presidents You’ve Never Heard of:Martin Van Buren (1837-1841)

By Antoinette Durand
Martin Van Buren was born 1782 in New York.

In 1821, he was elected onto the Senate. President Johnson appointed him Secretary of State. Van Buren was elected Vice President in 1832. He won the Presidency in 1836.

In 1837, many businesses failed and banks fell into ruin. For five years, the United States was shoved into the worst depression so far in history, “...Van Buren devoted himself to maintaining the solvency of the national Government. He opposed not only the creation of a new Bank of the United States but also the placing of Government funds in state banks. He fought for the establishment of an independent treasury system to handle Government transactions. As for Federal aid to internal improvements, he cut off expenditures so completely that the Government even sold the tools it had used on public works,” according to whitehouse.gov. Martin Van Buren failed to get re-elected, and died in 1862.
