The Great American Smokeout

Today is The Great American Smokeout. Today is a day where smokers quit smoking for one day. Today is a great day to quit smoking. Smoking is very bad for your health and the people around you. It also causes lung cancer. I don't allow my parents to smoke because I think that it's really bad. I think that this is a great day to quit smoking.

Dress for Success(:

Monday is dress for success day at Frost. Dress for Success is when the students can get all dressed up. Students can dress up but it has to be dressy and there are guidelines. Students are supposed to dress up as if they were going to an interview for their dream job. I think this is a really good idea because they can show their friends what they want to be. I like this idea very much, I think it's a great way to show school spirit.

California Wild Fires

A new fire started on Friday night. I wasn't home when they evacuated my house. I went to my house on Saturday just to get a few things and it was horrible. I was so scared there were cops everywhere it smelled like smoke, and there were ashes everywhere. The sky was gray and it was very windy. I stopped at seven eleven and I saw a lot of police. On my way out I also saw firefighters and I could hear the sirens. Everything is a little better now, but my house still smells bad. The fire has spread to a lot of places and is still spreading. It has also burned down many houses.

United Way Homeless Walk

Tomorrow, my family and I will be doing a three mile walk called the United Way Homeless Walk. The walk is for homeless people. My mom and my little sister are going to do the walk with me. I am so excited because I love helping out. My family and I are always doing things to help out. It's like the best feeling in the world knowing that you helped someone. I think it's a lot of fun and you get to help someone. It also makes me thankful for what I have. I hope I encourage people to help out too because it's a lot of fun and it gives you a great feeling. (:

Frost Turkey Bowl

Every year at Frost, we have an annual Turkey Bowl for eight graders. There are two football teams: UCLA and USC. All eighth graders may attend as long as you are on grad. The Turkey Bowl is on November 26. I am so excited because I have been looking forward to the Turkey Ball since I was in seventh grade.

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.
