titled "A Brand New Start". The
scripture lesson was read from Acts
14:8-18, Revelation 21:1-6, John
13:31-35. The sermon was entitled:
"Free Will: Costs, Benefits."

loves his creation. He deals with ups
through Jesus. God experiences our
trials, tribulations, and our celebra-
tions with us. Revelation speaks of the

Mt. Carmel School Doings
The Planet of Pee
By Kim Walterkias, grade 6
I walked out the door early one morn,
Just to see if the flowers had thorns,
But suddenly inside me I felt myself
go,
And in five minutes I was on the
Planet Poe.
I met this little green guy with bright
orange hair,
And then it invited me to a snitgle fair
1 asked what a snitgle was, it
answered me with glee
A snitgie is a humanoid that thinks it's
like me.
Spring
lay Gary Relouw, grade 7
Spring is an awesome time of year,
Spring is when spdrts begin,
Spring is when baby animals are
born,
Spring is when the leaves turn green,
Spring is when the school year ends,
Spring is when the grass turns green,
Spring is when the work begins,
Spring is when the town opens,
Spring, spring, spring when will it
end?
By Leah Hartman
Hi! It's m,-'"ain! This week I'll
have some samples of writing from
some of the grades. These were eligi-
ble for Education Week which starts
April 27. There are five of them star-
ting at grade two:
Blue
By Wes Regier, grade 2
Blue is the high sky hiding
in the puffy cloud
Blue is the outstanding blueberry pie
Blue is the fluffy soft blanket.
Blue is the chirping bluejay in a big
forrest
Blue is beautiful.
Autumn
By Ian Jean, grade 4
At the lonely beach
The wind is drifting the sand
And burying footprints.
Limerick
By Becky Hartman, grade 5
There was an old lady from Mars
Who always ate rich chocolate bars
She sits till she's done
She's as fat as the sun,
Then she couldn't fit into her car.
