Letters to the Editor from Thurman Francis Arts Academy

Dear Editor,
Do you think it was a good idea to have a spectrum toy drive? I do because what I've heard it is for a little boy or girl who isn't going to have a very good Christmas. I've never thought that some kids will not have a Christmas, with Santa Claus. So now when I look at all my stuff I know I'm very fortunate. Please Give me your opinion.
Sincerely,
Austin
CEO of Novacopy

Dear Austin,
I think it was a wonderful idea to have a spectrum toy drive. having it made me think of others. It is always a good thing to think about and do things for others. Other kids in this world are less fortunate and we need to help them. Thank you for this lovely letter.
Sincerely,
Sara,

New Dogs in Town

I sat down the the CEO of the Pedigree Dog Store and talked to them about what you have to do when you adopt a dog. They said that you have to love and care for the dog! If you are wondering what types of dogs they have, they have dalmations, boxers, german sheperds and pugs.

They need a home!

Save the earth

Today our oceans, beaches and many more are filled with trash! The people that can help the most are the kids! We can change it all! The way the earth is now effects our future! The littlest things can help!
You can recycle! Recycle your plastic and old newspapers. Reuse - you can stop buying plastic bottles over and over again and get a reusable one! Reduce - when you turn on the sink make sure it is all the way off so there is no drip, so you are not wasting!
We can do it!

Adopt a Pet for the Holidays
There are lots of animals cooped up in cages in animal shelters that need homes. For Christmas, ask your mom or dad if you can go adopt one. If you look in your Sunday paper, you can find a small group of animals, their picture and other information about them. It also includes a number so you can make a call and tell them you want to come take a look at a certain one and they will hold it for you! you can find different animals in the paper every week. Remember they don't have a family like you do so make them feel special and make them a part of your family today!

Real Pedigree Dog Store
I put my best interest in the Pedigree Dog Store. They have great customer service and help you with any animal needs. They should be recognized as a quality business because they are very polite and good to the dogs that surround us. They provide them with food, shelter, toys to play with and even sweaters to keep them warm.
The Pedigree Dog Store has a very organized business. They have everything ready at the right time.
This business has many good qualities and I think many more people should recognize them.

Trip to BizTown!!!

When we go to Biztown it will be fun, we all get to have a job. The only thing is, don't forget we are really doing math because when you are writing in your checkbook you are adding and subtracting. That's why it's a good thing to pay attention in math!! But it will still be fun anyways!

Most people are probably going to the Pedigree Dog Store. A lot of people like pets, that is why I think people are going to go there.

I can't wait until we go!!

Every job here is fun. At first I didn't really think my job was going to be fun. But now I think my job is sooo much fun!

Fifth graders love BizTown!

How to be a great employee!

A good employee for the newspaper needs to be honest, trustworthy, and dependable. All of the newspaper workers are just that! To be a good employee you have to always follow up on your word and never give up even when you feel like quitting! You should treat everyone kindly and do the best you can do!!
