rated from the regular
box tops. They can also be
submitted on the papers
you get every month in
your Friday folder. The
papers make it much eas-
ier for the box tops to be
submitted.
The money received is
put in to The Little Blue
Pirate fund. The money is
used for anything the
school might need. The
Little Blue Pirate Post
has even been helped by
Box Tops for Education.
So, keep bringing in those
box tops!
As you may know, pa-
pers have been in your
Friday folders asking
you to collect box tops.
What you might not
know is what box tops
are and what they do.
The General Mills Com-
pany puts little tabs on
boxes or bags for prod-
ucts like Trix cereal,
Nestle Juicy Juice, Betty
Crocker pizza crust, and
many more. It all
started in 1996, and
since then schools have
raised over $475 million
dollars! More than
30,000 schools are par-
ticipating in Box Tops
for Education.
Mrs. Bowmaster, ele-
mentary secretary, told
me Box Tops 4 Educa-
tion is a great way to
get a little extra money
for our school. In Feb-
ruary, students col-
lected more than 4,000
box tops. High school
students helped trim,
sort, and count the box
tops.
When you bring box
tops to school make
sure they are not ex-
pired. You can check
the expiration date by
looking at the bottom of
the box top. When they
get submitted they
need to be in baggies of
50 box tops. The bonus
box tops must be sepa-

Who loves reading? Our
school of course! We espe-
cially love reading on Com-
munity Reader Day. Mrs.
Gilbert knows the most
about this special day so I
went to her to gather some
information. The people who
come to read are school
board members, administra-
tion, retired staff, other fac-
ulty members, and members
of our community. This is a
special day to celebrate Dr.
Seuss's Birthday, which is
on March, 2.
I spoke with two of my class-
mates about this special
day. They are Caitlyn
Kensinger said she loved
the wonderful books that
were read to us. Jay
Clark answered by say-
ing that he was thankful
that so many adults were
willing to sacrifice their
time to read us so many
amazing books.
So, as you can see, Com-
munity Reader’s Day is
one of the most antici-
pated days of the school
year.

Who’s New? By: Paige Gunnett
Second grade welcomes a new teacher for the remainder
of the school year. Mr. Blattenberger has joined the staff
at Williamsburg Elementary. I interviewed our new sec-
ond grade teacher, Mr. Blattenberger, to learn a little
more about him. He is a graduate of Penn State Univer-
sity. Go PSU! He thinks second grade is exciting, but also
a challenge. An interesting
fact is that he is the only male
teacher in the elementary
building. His favorite subject is
math! Mr. Blattenberger
thinks math is the best by far
because there is always a right
answer! Stop by room 151 and
welcome him to our school.

A survey was taken to answer the question, What would you like to
find in your Easter basket, a chocolate bunny or marshmallow peeps?
Students in grades k – 6, including teachers, were surveyed to get
their answer to this Easter Day question. Two hundred and sixty
three (263) students took part in the survey. The chocolate bunny
received 197 votes, as opposed to just 66 for marshmallow peeps. The
chocolate bunny was also the favorite for teachers, earning twelve of
the fourteen votes. Whatever your choice, I hope you have an EGG-
TRA Special Easter!

For this book corner I am going to share with you a fascinating book that I re-
cently read called The Hidden Girl “A True Story of the Holocaust” By Lola Rein
Kaufman with Lois Metzger.
The book The Hidden Girl “ A True Story of the Holocaust” is
about a young Jewish girl named Lola who is forced to go into
hiding after all her family members are killed. Lola hides with
two Ukrainian women through her journey. The first care-
taker gave Lola to the next woman due to threats of being
turned in for hiding a Jewish person. When Lola is with the
next caretaker named Anna she must live in a hole under-
neath a barn with just a dress made by her mother and a pair
of old shoes. Will Lola survive the Holocaust?
If you are interested in reading this book, stop by Mrs. Whe-
land’s room for a copy. This nonfiction book is worth 2 AR points. Also, please
be aware this book is most appropriate for middle school aged students.
Unfortunately this book is not a series. I would love to learn more about Lola’s
amazing journey.

The book I picked for our spring newspaper is Aliens for Breakfast by
Stephanie Spinner and Jonathan Etra. Illustrations were done by
Steve Bjorckman. The story begins when Richard
sits done to eat his breakfast and gets a little more
than cereal. An alien!!!! His name is Aric. However,
Aric isn’t an ordinary alien; he is on an important
mission to stop another alien from trying to take
over the world. Will Aric and Richard save the
world or will it be too late? Get a copy of this book
in the library to find out. Aliens for Breakfast is
worth 1 A R point. I hope you enjoy this book.
