A Feeling
By: Anonymous, November 2022
I Am From...
By: Sally Rozelle, Former 8th Grader, November 2021
I am from books, from bagels, and gluten-free birthday cake
I am from the hidden wooden house in the back by the water
From lilacs and roses and soapy wet sponges
I am from movies after dinner and naps after lunch
From Samantha, and Shanna, and Michaella
I am from always five minutes early or ten minutes late
From "I'm just around the corner" and "don't ever do that again"
From Shabbat candles and Christmas trees
From Columbus and Europe and waffles and pancakes
From the peas on your head and the glitter in your water
I am from small squares in a small notebook and picture frames on walls and the box in the attic under the shawls.
Elements
By: Daniela Julian, Former 8th Grader, February 2022
Drop, clink, spark
Alkali remark
Halogens spread through the air
While arsenic can bring despair
Neon will light the way
And H2O will help you live yet another day

Features from Last School Year
Do you know that feeling
Of a stomach hurting
Of a smiles upside down
Do you know that feeling
In a crowd full of people
Of being apart from others
Of feeling lonely
In a crowd that's full
Do you know the feeling
Of butterflies in your stomach
Everytime
Everytime
Do you know that feeling
Of being apart from your friends
Even though
It does not make
Sense
