Winning Poetry Entry:
We are Kids Who Will Make a BIG Difference
Ms. Musone's Class, Roundtown Elementary School
We are kids, third grade students at Roundtown Elementary School.
We are little kids with big behaviors. We are polite, responsible, outstanding, understanding, and dependable. We are kids who donated food to the Catholic Harvest Food Pantry for people who can’t afford food.
We will set up a lemonade stand in our cafeteria.
We will collect school supplies to give the children in Iraq.
Paper.
Pencils.
Markers.
Crayons.
And more.
We will feel proud that we made a difference by helping others feel more comfortable.
We have pride for Alex because she was only four and she made a HUGE difference in our country.
Alex inspired us to make a difference.
We can and WILL make a difference.
You can make a difference too!
“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”
