Volume 1, Issue 3 The Pep Rally and Big Game
By: Brenda and Autumn

The pep rally was fun and the cheerleaders danced a lot! The basketball players were
great too; its too bad we lost the game. The basketball players were disappointed and
so were the cheerleaders. Even though they lost people were stll proud they made it
to the fnals. It was a great season and we are so proud of our team. Go Veazie Lions!

Cookouts are a tme (usually in the summer) to spend with
family and friends. Sometmes people go all out with tons
of diferent foods, actvites and even contest like pie
eatng, hot dog, sack races and tug of war. For actvites
there could also be bouncy houses, ring tosses, you could
play truth or dare, face paintng, karaoke, mechanical
bulls, you can go swimming at the beach or in your pool.
There are LOTS of diferent foods even from diferent cul-
tures. Some examples for foods you can munch on can be chuck roast, ribs, hot dogs, ham-
burgers, roasted french fries, dough boys, chips, fried ice cream, popsicles, blue berry crisp,
brioche loaves, strawberry shortcake, pistachios, cupcakes, double chocolate pudding with
caramel sauce or berry lemonade.

Hit The Beach
By: Koung, Rjanae and Jayden

The ocean is cold in Rhode Island and
doesnt usually warm up untl August. A
few tps: dont drink the salt water, dont
go too deep, dont pass the safe zone and
make sure there is always a life guard.
Here are some things to do at the beach:
have a BBQ with some water and tasty
food, go in the water to surf with your
family, play football in the water, make
sandcastles, play Frisbee, or eat ice
cream.

TH
Grade Bullying
by: Carmelo Harmon

The 4
th
grade has started
an ant-bullying program.
I know your probably
thinking why they would
start an ant-bullying pro-
gram. Its to stop bullying
from happening. I know this be-
cause I had an interview with Mrs. Scorpio. She told me that 4
th
grad-
ers learned to be upstanders. Upstanders stand up against bullying
when they see it. The kids met every week in the cafeteria and worked
really hard to learn not to be a bully.
Above: 4th graders in 410 are upstanders!

Ofcer Mike
By: Jose

Ofcer Mike visited Veazie Street
School and read a story to the 1
st
grade
class in 215. The story was The True
Story of the Three Litle Pigs! 215 loved
it and I did too. As a teacher he was
good. Then he showed us his bullets
and kids asked questons. One was
where do you put the bad guys and he answered that we
put the bad guys in jail. It was a great visit and story.
Mat Blanchete
By Serenity

Mat Blanchete visited Veazie Street School and
came to room 413. He read a book for reading week.
Each class got a special guest reader and read a book.
When I got to the class I introduced myself and asked
if I could get some pictures of him and he said sure. I
even said that I was part of the newspaper. When he
was done people in the class started asking questons
and I asked what news he did and he did everything
except the weather.
Congressman Cicilline
By: Alberto

Congressman Cicilline went to room 315 to read a book about his job.
His job is about votng for laws so we can be safe and he read a book
called House Mouse, Senate Mouse. Also he talked about going to
meet the president of the United States every other week. Then he
told the class that he lives in a simple place like us because he is al-
ways working for us so we can be safe. He got his place by fnishing
school so he could have a good job, but people were running for con-
gressman so he wanted to do the same. Now he is working for us.
Clay Pell Reads to 310
By: Dameion

On April 15,2014 Clay Pell visited 310 and read The
Waterfre Duck. The students asked a lot of ques-
tons and Clay Pell also had a lot of questons for the
children (most of the students answered them). It
seems Clay Pell had a great tme at Veazie Street
School, and Im sure the students had fun with Clay
Pell coming to Veazie. I think Clay Pell is a spectacu-
lar infuence because he loves spending tme with
people, especially kids. Clay Pell speaks 4 languages,
Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and English.
Second Grade Reader Lt. Governor Roberts
By: Jayonna

The Lt. Governor came to room 309 and the book she read was
Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. I think most of the kids liked the
book. When I was taking the pictures most of the children were
really trying to get into every picture and I really thought that was
funny. The kids in room 309 were very good listeners. It was very
cool how all those kids just paid atenton.
Now lets talk about Lt. Governor Roberts. She talked a litle about
herself. She said that her job was very hard. And a special thing
about her is that she has seen President Obama.
She is a very nice and friendly person. I think that she really knows
how to love children and is very interestng with the kids. She
helped us understand the story because she explained the story
and how pets are a lot of work to watch.
