Gardening
By Linda P. of Bailey Gatzert Elementary

We are gardeners,
Planting and pulling
And cutting and pruning
We see our plants growing in the sunlight
And Mother Nature hugging us in her arms.
We touch beautiful flowers and soil so soft.
We smell the fragrance of lavender and fresh air.
We hear the wind whistling in our ears
And all the grunting and groaning and moaning of effort
As we plant our garden.
We taste our hard work
And all the things that we planted together.

SCORES Girls
By Jacqueline of Roxhill Elementary

SCORES girls are smart
We never fight
We’re all different
But in our hearts we are the same
We never argue
We never complain
We’re all different
But in our hearts we are the same
SCORES girls are sweet
We are nice
We’re all different
But in our hearts we are the same
We are careful
We are clever
We’re all different
But in our hearts we are the same
