Financial Problems

Many people are facing financial problems and are losing their homes. People have been laid off and can't find a job. More people are beginning to lose their homes and belongings. But many people go to a homeless shelter where each person gets a tent and is fed. Many people also volunteer to make the sandwhiches for the homeless people. I think this is a great way to help others get back on their feet.

Veteran's Day

November 11 is Veteran's Day. This is a special day to honor people who have served in our army. There was no school and some people didn't go to work. I think this day is very special and important because it's a special day to honor people who fought for our rights.

Virtual Video Game

Millitary Experience

The army made a virtual game that gives you millitary experience. I think that this isn't really a good idea because war is cruel and it's not a game. If a kid likes this game and decides to join the millitary because they liked the game, it's not a good thing. War is the opposite and it's not a game. I really don't like this idea. What do you think?

Frost Donates

Donations for the millitary

Robert Frost Middle School is donating items to the millitary. My school is going to donate fruit roll ups, red vines, beef jerkey, or bubble gum. We can donate anything type of food that will last a long time or we can donate money for the shipping. I think this is a really cool idea because I have a family member in the millitary. We should give them something for fighting for our country. I admire people in the millitary a lot because if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have rights. I am definetely going to donate because of my uncle. I hope everyone else donates too.

2008 Presidential Election

President Obama

Obama has won the election as our new president. Obama won the election with 349 electoral votes and McCain had 173 votes. Obama won by 166 electoral votes. My parents and I voted for Obama. Obama made history last night as the country's first african american president. I think it's good that we have change and I'm very happy that Obama won.(:

A remarkable story

Kick for Nick

This is a very interesting story. This guy named Mark was serving the army and he saw kids in Iraq playing soccer with cans. He thought imagine if they played with real soccer balls. Nick wanted to send all the kids in Iraq soccer balls but before he did, he passed away. A neighbor heard about his plan. So he got people to donate soccer balls and they sent them to Iraq. Each soccer ball had Nick's name on it. I think this is a very inspiring story.

Prop 8

Prop 8

Tomorrow is election day. I'm sure everyone is excited. Along with selecting a president for our country, we have to vote on some propositions. One proposition is prop 8. I think people should vote no on prop 8 because everyone should have equal rights. If you love someone, you should be able to marry them if you want to. I think it's very unfair to take away those rights because everyone is equal. If gay marriage is taught in school, I think it isn't bad. Kids are still going to find out either way. So i think people should vote no on prop 8 because of people deserve there equal rights.
