Dear Editor,
Our shool has smart teachers. It has good children that try to get good grades. We are trying to be good so they won't say we are a bad school. We learn alot at our school because our teachers try hard to teach us so we could leave Empire and be smart people when we grow up. We are learning a lot from our teachers. They teach us so when we grow up so when we buy stuff we know how much change they will give us back. They also teach us how much things cost. They try to teach us every state and there capitals.
Sincerely,
Pedro Cano
Dear Editor,
Our school has the best teachers in the school. Our school has two playgrounds. The kids in our school are not very mean. Elementary has 5 tether balls, we have a big fild. Some of the gards are very nice. ... My teacher Mrs. Squiers is very funny some of the times. I have six best friends that are very nice. We have a lot of fun. When we came from lunch we get to read 15 minutes. Mario is my best friend. We even know where we live. Mario is very funny, but not more than Mrs. Squiers.
Sincerely,
Miguel del Toro
