Wake Up, Girls!

Hey girls! Who said we shouldn’t play sports like boys? We were not created just
to sit out on all sports and play on the slides! We also need the exercise. We need to
participate in sports more!
Many women have won gold medals in the Olympics. We can aim high, too! We can
start by participating in sports such as basketball, throw ball, soccer, and volleyball.
Serena Williams, once a young girl, won the women’s final in Wimbledon. There are
many more examples of great sports women, while some girls are afraid of catching
balls because they think their hands will fall off.
Come on, girls! Let’s all start playing sports! We hope we’ll see more participation
from girls now!

Although he was very wise, he had always wanted to touch a star. It was always a subject of
great interest to the old man. Throughout his pious life, he had been drawing millions and
millions of drawings of stars, and now, he was dying.

ANGEL OF DEATH

By Marcus Fernandez Grade 6

Chapter 1
The Dreams

Hal was pushed into a large chamber. He could tell that it was night but the chamber had an eerie glow. Mysterious bony hands shoved him inside. He dropped on his knees, as he heard a loud crunch - the crunch of bones, not his bones. He looked… down and saw a blanket of skeletons. “Hal can you hear me?” a voice pleaded. Hal bent forward and saw his best friend Tom. Tom’s image faded and was replaced by that of a dark figure.
