Dear Readers,
My name is Bryan and I
am 13 years old. I am an LIT,
Leader In Training, at the
Salvation Army YET Summer
Camp. This summer being an
LIT has been an enthusiastic
experience with high points
and low points. It has been
awesome to be able to play
with the 5 and 6 year olds
and make new friends. This
summer as an LIT I have
learned how to be a leader
and how to work with the
kids at summer camp, instead
of just yelling at them. I
have learned a lot from Mr.
Ian, he teaches the LIT
Leadership Class.
I am thankful to
Mr. Ian because
he helped me
through a tough
time that I had
this summer.
During the
summer, I was
bullied by
someone because of the
way that I looked. When I
told Mr. Ian, I felt really
bad, then he told me to
always know that God loves
me. To know that it is okay
to stand up for yourself,
but to be the better
person by walking away. He
reminded me that God
made me unique and that I am
loved. The way he helped me
reminds me a lot of my dad. I
really appreciate everything he
did for me this summer and I
am a better person because of
the LIT experience.
This week at
summer we have been having a
great time at Vacation Bible
School. We have learned that
we all were made in God’s image
and that we are all created
unique. We all are different,
but that is okay because God
made us for a unique purpose.
This is my story of how I
became an LIT in Texas: I was
born in Norfolk, Virginia. My
little brother Dallas was also
born in Virginia but I am not
sure where. My dad was born in
Allegheny County in Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. My Mom was born
in Arcadia, Florida. My dad has
Dear Readers By: Bryan (13)
Volume 1, Issue 8 Page 3
been around the world 2
times which is pretty
amazing. He has fought for
the freedoms of this
country by serving in the
Navy for 14 years and I
would appreciate it if you
give your thanks to him.
Because my dad is in the
military, we have moved a
lot. My family has been
through the southern part
of the United States, the
East Coast and now we live
in Texas. My story of being
at the YET is different
than others, and we all have
many different stories.
Some people might have
come from different
countries or different
states. Some people have
only one parent, or live with
their grandparents, uncles
or aunts. Some people may
have even been adopted,
but I know that God had a
reason for having all of us
play together this summer
at the YET. I am not sure
exactly what the end will
be for anyone, what they
will be when they grow up
or what will even happen
“GOD WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU! IF GOD IS FOR US WHO COULD
next year during school.
But I know that God
wanted us this summer
to learn more about
Him. He wanted to
teach us that He loves
us, that He made us
unique and that HE
WILL ALWAYS BE
WITH US. As the
school year starts, I
want to wish everyone
at the YET a great
school year. I hope you
all remember to say a
small prayer during
silent time at school,
work hard in your
classes, listen to your
teachers and try your
very best to get
straight A’s. If not
straight A’s try your
best to get A’s or B’s.
Please know that I will
miss you all and never
forget what we have
learned at the YET.
Your Friendly
Neighborhood LIT,
Bryan

Dear Mr. Austin,
Today is my last day at summer camp at the YET,
and I wanted to write to you to tell you that I’ll miss you. I
am going to start school at ILT this year and I will be in the
6th grade. I am going to be at a new school where I will not
know anyone or have any friends. I do not know what will
happen this school year, but I wanted to tell you that I had
fun this summer. You’re the best buddie I have ever had.
This summer you where funny, made good jokes and good
conversations. You’re a great friend. I had fun talking about
things going on at home and summer camp with you. I
enjoyed when played in the gym together at the end of the
day and how you always talked with me during snack time.
You made this summer the best I ever had. I’ll miss you and
I hope you come back next summer so we can see each
other again in the future.
Sincerely, your friend, James
Summer SPLASH! By: James (10)
Piano Class By: Camila (9)
Hey everybody, my name is Camila and
I am 9 years old, today I am going to tell
you about the piano classes at the yet.
Ms. Brianna is the teacher for all of the
piano classes at the YET. Ms. Brianna very good at piano, she helps us to learn
the songs from a book. She shows us new
notes to play and helps us learn how to
read music. I only started taking piano
classes about a month ago. In that month,
I learned so much and I even got to play
the songs I learned in two shows.
First I played in the Talent
Show at the YET, I played a
song called, “Minuuet.” When I
was on the stage I felt nervous
because there were a lot of
people watching me play. When I
played I did not mess up, I
played my song good even though
I was nervous. At the talent
show, my mom went to see me
play the piano. After I played,
my mom told me, “Good job and
you did awesome.” My
piano teacher, Mrs.
Brianna said, “You did
good Camila, choose a
candy from the
basket.” After the
talent show I knew I
wanted to play better
so every day I
practiced for the next
show.
At the next show, I
played “Sleeping Beauty Waltz” by
Tchaikovsky. The song that I played is
the best song. It’s kind of hard to play,
but the sound is soft like a dream. When
I play the song on the piano I can imagine
that sleeping beauty is dancing with the
prince. It is a pretty song. After I
played my song, I got an award from Ms.
Brianna for being the Most Improved.
Ms. Bianna told me, “You did good playing
your song and I am very proud of how
much you have improved this summer.”
When my mom say my award, she said, “I
am glad for you that you have been really
good in piano class! Keep learning.”
Ms. Brianna is great in piano and
I loved having her as my piano teacher.
She has helped me learn a lot of songs
and how to play the piano better. I really
appreciate everything she has taught me
and I want to tell Ms. Brianna that she
has been a great teacher and that you
are my best teacher this summer at the
YET. Thank you so much!

I’m Zion and I am 7 years old.
I am writing about summer camp at
the YET in Arlington, Texas. I want
to tell you about how summer camp is
great and how much fun we get to
have. Every Friday during summer
camp we get to go on field trips and
do a bunch of fun things. This
summer we went to the Fort Worth
Zoo, the Stockyards, the Science
Museum with dinosaur’s bones, and
lots of other cool places. During
summer camp, my favorite field trip
was when we went to the Fort Worth
Zoo because I got to see the giraffes
The Adventures of Summer Camp By: Zion
and the
water
park. My
favorite
teachers
this
summer
are all of
them. My
favorite
time is
when we
go to
gym,
newspaper,
lunch and snack. I also really
like brass band. I also like the
field trips. I am going to miss
my friends when I go to school
and summer camp. It was so
much fun I wish we could have
summer camp all the time.
Thank you summer camp for all
the great adventures and I will miss
you. Also in case anyone wants to know

tell you differently!

To end the summer of right, we both want to tell you a little
something we learned this week about God. “WOW GOD!!!” We are all the
same on the inside, it doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside.
God made us all and he made us all in is image. We are all uniquely created
by God, planned and built for a purpose. Everything in your life even if
you think it’s a mistake it’s not. God has a plan and a purpose for you.
Have a great school year
Your friends Patricia and Maiyah
WOW GOD!
My Family Rocks By: Chasia (7)
Hello my name is Chasia, I
am seven years old, and I’m writing
about my family. I’m writing about
my mommy, my daddy, my sisters,
and me. This will be my last story
this summer because it is the end
of the summer. I get to meet my
new teacher on the 17th and I go
back to school on Monday. I hope
that my new teacher is nice and I
cannot wait to make new friends,
but I will miss the Salvation Army
Yet Summer Camp. I already miss
my best friends, Audry and
Jayzlie, because they already
started school. I will miss all of my
favorite staff and all of the fun
field trips that we went too.
First I’m going to write
about my mommy. My mommy
works at a place called GM
Financial. You’re supposed to take
phone calls and listen to what car
that the people want to buy and
mommy tells them yes or no. She
goes to work every day, but not
on the weekends. When my
mommy was little, she was riding
her bike and got hit by a car and
broke her jaw. As she got older,
it got worse, and so on August
7th, 2017 she had surgery on her
jaw and now she is all good.
When mommy was little, she ran
track, played soccer, and also a
little basketball.
Now I am going to write
about my daddy. He works at GM
Financial too, they work at the
same place. My daddy liked to
ride his bike; he fell and got
bruises a lot of times and some
of his scars are still on him. My
daddy played basketball and
when he was little, he played
football, but he did not like it.
My daddy broke his wrist when
he was playing basketball.
Someone that played on the
other team, elbowed him in the
eye and he got stitches.
Basketball is a tough sport!
Next, I am going to
write about my sisters. My
sisters are Jada, Julia, and
Dymond. They all play basketball
like me. They might play
basketball like me, but I know I
am better then all of my sisters
even though they are older. Like
me, they are all tough. Like me,
they tried volleyball, and they
liked it, but they like basketball
more. Dymond is the oldest, she
sleeps a lot. Julia is the second
oldest and she stays up late. And
Jada is the third oldest and she
goes to sleep at the right time.
Now I am going to talk
about me. I am the fourth
oldest. As you know I play
basketball, just like my whole
entire family. I go to bed at the
same time as all my sisters go to
bed. I also sleep a lot like
Dymond. I have a pink bike and
I like to ride it because it
makes me feel happy.
Sometimes I fall off of my bike,
but I keep riding. My bike still
makes me happy, so I keep
riding even when I fall.
This week at summer
camp, we have Vacation Bible
School. I wanted to tell you
about my family so you can learn
about them and try some things
that they do. I also want to
write about this because this
week I learned that God loves
them and me. I also learned
that God made us unique and in
His image. The Bible says that
when He made us, it was very
good. I love God and my family.
I am thankful that God made
them and me. It’s cool to know
that You love me God. WOW
GOD!!!
If you have go ne to
summer camp you would yell
really, really loud in that last
sentence. Try it again.
“WOW
GOD!”

Pokémon Girl By: Sydney (9)
The 9 year old Pokémon girl
is back, back again. This week I’m

electric, and fighting Pokémon.
Some of the coolest types yet.
Water Pokémon can do Water
Gun, Bubble, Splash, Hydro Pump,

Transformers By: Isaiah (8) & Amari (8) Hi, my name is Isaiah, and I am
8 years old. I am writing this story with
my friend Amari who is also 8 years old.
We met at summer camp at the YET.
From the first day we met we knew we
would be great buddies. Today, I will be
writing about Transformers and
explaining a little about what
Transformers are.
Transformers started several
thousand years ago, on the planet
Cybertron. Cybertron, was consumed by
a civil war. A civil war is an internal war.
The two transformer factions were the
Autobots led by Optimus Prime and the
Decepticons led by Megatron.
Optimus jettisoned the
Allspark, a mystical artifact
that brings life to the planet,
into space. Megatron pursued
the Allspark hoping to get it
back. Megatron, crashed in the
Arctic Circle and froze.
Megatron was not discovered
until 1895, by the explorer
Archibald Witwicty. Witwicty
activated Megatron’s
navigational system which
scanned the allspark
coordinates into his glasses.
The glasses end up in the possession of his
great-great-grandson Sam Witwicty. In
the present Sam buys his first car, a
rusting Chevrolet Camaro, but discovered it
had a life of its own. The rest of the story
is really good and you should check it out.
Be sure to ask you parents to see the movie
because it’s PG-13.
This will be our last newspaper article this
summer because we both have to start
school now. We want to wish all of my
friends at the YET a good school year. We
want to tell all of the teachers at the YET
good luck and hopefully we will see you
afterschool or next summer!

The Story of Chang E and Hou Yi! By: Wendy (9)
Long long ago, there is a
beautiful girl named chang e. A man
named Hou yi, he was good at archery.
He married a beautiful girl named
Chang e. they both wanted to live
together.
Back then there were ten
suns. The suns made the Earth have
extraordinary hot. All the water dry
up, the flowers wilted and the crops
died. The Yellow Emperor asked Hou
Yi to save the people from this heat.
Hou yi took a magical bow,
past down from the yellow emperor, he
carefully shot down the
9 suns. Now there was
1 sun left in the sky.
Now the rivers started
flowing again. Plants
started to grow again,
and the people were all
happy.
As hou yi’s reward, the
emperor gave him a
magical pill that would
let him live forever. But before
he could eat the pill, he had to
pray and fast for one year. Hou
Yi was so excited! He finally got
his wish of living forever.
The next day, when Hou
Yi went away, Chang E searched
for the pill. She found the box,
opened the lid, and ate the pill!
That moment, Chang E started
floating up, up, up in the air. Hou
Yi was back and saw his wife
floating! He knew she had taken
the pill. Scared that Hou Yi was
going to be angry, Chang E started
floating toward the moon. Hou Yi, who
could fly, started chasing after her in
the air. The two of them were racing
across the heavens.
Then the moon’s gravity
brought cheng e to the moon, where
she escaped from Hou yi On the moon,
the dusk made her cough, and she
coughed a little bit of the pill. That
little bit of the pill then became the
Jade Rabbit, who began to make
another pill for immortality. Chang E
became goddess of the moon, but was
turned into a frog as her punishment.
She realized how selfish she was and
really missed her husband.
Hou Yi also began missing his
wife. He built a palace on the sun and
became the god of the sun. But once a
month, Hou Yi and Chang E are allowed
to visit each other, where Chang E is
transformed into a beautiful princess.
On that day, the moon shines extra
brightly, because of their love.

The Story from the Other Side of the Sun By: Wendy (9)
China, is where we
come from. We have a saying
that says, China is on the other
side of the sun from America.
It is a beautiful place. Like our
city in china, it has lots of big
parks, the parks have many
different flowers, and fresh
air with really cold tempter.
There are a lot of people who
live in China. When flowers
open, everyone goes to that
country no one what’s to miss
china. The food there is the
best that I have ever tasted in
the world. I like hot food then cold
food.
When I came to America I
was 8 years old. I have not been here
very long, and I miss all of my friends
in China. In China, we have a different
New Year’s then everyone else. In
America, they celebrate New Year’s on
January 1st. In China, we celebrate the
Chinese New Year also called the
Spring Festival. In 2018, the Chinese
New Year will be celebrated on
February 16th and it will be the year of
the Dog. During our Chinese New Year
we always decorate with red things.
When we celebrate we always put the
red things on, it is a tradition to get
and give red envelopes that have
money in them. We also have people
who dress in large lion costumes and
participate in Lion Dances to celebrate
the New Year. When the Lion sees the
color red, they go into the house, and
give the children candy. We also have
fireworks like in America, but they are mostly
red colors.
During Chinese New Year, we always
eat dumplings. Dumplings are always hot and
taste very good. Dumplings are my favorite
food and I miss eating dumplings in China. My
mom knows how to make really good dumplings,
she can make every type of dumpling that
there is. There are a lot of different types of
dumplings at least about hundreds of types of
dumplings. The two main types though are
vegetable and meat and they are all yummy.
If you want to say Happy New Year to
someone in Chinese, all you have to do is say.
This is how you tell people Happy New
Years. My friend Kitty and I are glad that we
got to share something from China with you.
We hope that we can share more about it and
we hope you all have a good school year in
America.

Peruvian and Proud! By: Allison (9)
Hi, my name is Allison, and I
want to share a bit about who I am
and how God has made me unique.
Some people assume that everyone
who is Latina or from Latin America
is from Mexico, but it’s
not true. I am 9 years
old and my heritage is
from Peru. So I would
say that I am Peruvian
and Proud. Peruvian is a
word that describes the
citizens from the
country of Peru. My
parents are from Peru. My
Mom is from Lima, Peru, My
dad is from Chiclayo Peru. I
also have a lot of family
Members who live in Peru. In Peru
there are three languages,
Spanish, Quechua, and Aymara.
One of my favorite Things about
Peru is the FOOD! My favorite
dish is Peruvian ceviche, it is
delicious. Peru is very Far away
From the YET. According to a map,
YET is 3,363 Miles away from
Peru. My dad told me it would take
about 9 hours to go to Peru. I love
Peru. I hope you learned about my
culture and heritage a little bit!
Your Friend, Allison!
Football with my Dad By: Travis (7)
Hi my name is
Travis and I like playing
Football with my Dad.
Most of the time when
we play for a while my
dad gets tired so he
needs to get a drink, and
so do I. We play Football
until we sweat, and
sometimes we bring the
radio outside to hear
Music, and only if I’m
lucky we play until sunset.
When were done playing
we eat dinner. We play
two hand touch, there
are two fences one of
them is mine and the
other one is my dad’s. We
have to touch the fences
to score, if you score
that’s 1 point. We each
take turns passing and
running 1 time. When I was at my
old house my dad threw a football
at my face, it hurt, but I got
some ice to help the pain-It
was really bad but Football is
pretty fun. My favorite
Football team is the DALLAS
COWBOYS because they’re
the BEST team. I love playing
football with my Dad.

Riding Freedom Book Review By: Allison (9)
Van’s The Food Man! By: Vann
Hi, I am Vann! I am the food man!
To all the people who read my story,
sorry that this will be my last food
article this summer. I am in the 3rd
grade, so I have to start school now
so I won’t be writing anymore, but
I’ll be sure to catch you next
summer. I’ll be sure to try new
places so next summer I can tell you
more about the foods I found
during the school year.
FRIED FISH? DELIGHTFUL
SHRIMP? YES PLEASE!
Have you ever had delicious fried
fish? I have had delicious fried fish
and I can tell you where to buy it.
You can get delicious fried fish from
Long John Silvers. When you eat the
fried fish from Long John Silvers,
you just want more and more
because it is so good!! The fish is so
good, I can literally eat it every day
of my life. The fried fish is not the
only thing that is delicious, so is the
shrimp at Long John Silvers. The
shrimp from Long John Silvers is
delightful and ever bite is good. You
should check out Long John Silvers
because it is delightful and
so yummy delicious. You won’t
be dissapointed.
This is Vann the food mad
with you last food story this
summer. I hope everyone has
a great school year and
hopefully your cafeteria food
will be good this year. Peace
you CRAZY FOOD LOVERS!
Riding Freedom
is a book
that is
written by
Pam
Munos
Ryan. I
read this
book with
my friend
Annette.
She left
summer camp and
moved to Colorado before we could
finish writing the review. I miss her. The
book was provided by the Arlington Public
Library and the YET is
borrowing the book. I am going
to tell you a bit about the book
and what I rate the book.
Riding Freedom was super
interesting when. The main
character, Charlotte is a girl
who was hidden as a boy almost
her whole life! Charlotte had a
horse named Freedom but he
sadly died of colic. Charlotte
was a stage coach driver.
Charlotte’s boy name was
Charley. When charlotte grew up
she lost an eye so she used an
eyepatch. A man named
Ebneezer taught Charley how do
drive a six horse stagecoach. A
lot happens in the book near the
end, but it starts kind of slow.
You should read Riding Freedom
because it is super interesting! I
really liked it! If I could rate it
from 1 to 5 I would rate it a 3
because of a few things. First
the book started slow, second I
really did not like Freedom dying
in the book. Third I would say
that the book was kind of
confusing in some parts and I
had to read some parts twice.

Number the Stars Book Review By: Dallas (9)
It started in newspaper class,
my teacher told me to read a
book called Number the Stars. Oh yeah the charac-
ters are Ellen, Annemarie,
Momma, Dad, soldiers, Kirsty,
Lise, Peter, Ms. Johansen, The
King of Denmark, and Uncle
Henric. I normally do not read
books this long, but I wanted
to read this one and show Ms.
Sirena that I could finish the
book. It took me three weeks
to read the book. I read every
day in Newspaper class and
sometimes Ms. Sirena would
bring me the book in snack
time so I could read then also.
The book was very
good. It about a time in histo-
ry that the Nazis were looking
for the Jewish people to take
them away. I did not know
about World War II before I
read this book and I learned a
lot because of the book. The book
is fiction so it is not 100% real it is
a made up story. Even though it is
made up, some things about the
book are true. In the end the au-
thor tells you what is true from
history and what is made up. The
story is about one little girl and
her family who save their neigh-
bors from the Nazis. The book is a
bit challenging but I really liked it.
There are parts in the book that
you read and it makes you want to
read more. Some parts are sad and
other parts make you feel fright-
ened especially when the soldiers
come and talk to Annemarie.
I felt like I was keeping
Annemarie’s secretes when I was
reading the book so the soldiers
made me feel nervous. It was a
good book and I would say that
other people should read Number
the Stars because it was good. I
really liked reading it and I think
you will like to read it as well. I
also liked the book because I really
like action, and this book has a lot
of action. The picture that I in-
cluded in my story is when the sol-
dier asks Annemarie and her friend to
stop! I also have another picture that
is what the book looks like. I was able
to get the book from the YET. The
Arlington Public Library left some
books for us here at the YET that we
are allowed to read, so thanks Arling-
ton Public Library for letting me read
the book. It was a good book.
Last fact about the book. The
stars in Number the Stars means
something special. It is the star that
is the symbol for the Jewish people.
It is the star that everyone was made
to wear if they were Jewish. I know I
still have a lot to learn about World
War II, but this book was very good
and I am happy that the people of
Denmark in the book stood up to do
the right thing and protect their
neighbors no matter the cost.
