A Still World By Carly

A Still World By: Carly

Deep ocean obis 
Crashed jello waves stop to watch
The flowers dance in the tall grass 
On a simple day
The kids went out to play
Running barefoot on
The dusty savanna
Dancing on the farm
A girl listens to the music 
Made by the world
The geese flapping in the sky
The grass swayed
The children's feet put the beat in motion
As she listened she heard wild horses
Running through the savanna
All put together with the
Bubbles of the fish
Popping at the surface of the oceans
Waves soared through the beat
Crashing on the sand like a symbol
It was a beautiful piece of art
Being painted on a rainy day as
The water dripped down the window
In the forest the dew slipped off 
The smallest of grass
Making the pinging vibration of the world
As it Circulated in the dancing girl's blood and
She danced wildly through the world’s deepest peaks and tallest canyons. 
Singing to the beat was the most melodic tune of history. 
In the depth of the ocean the fish swam in synchronization.
The jello waves sloshed up against the cliffs.
The flowers relaxed into a most content position as the sun set over the tall grassy savanna.
The children ran to the ocean just in time to sit on the cliff and watch the world.
And the girl ran to the side of the ocean looking over the edge of her cliff watching as the sun rose and so did her hope.
The wild horses stopped in the night of perfectly strung stars and slept tightly as a family.
The boy thought about what his picture was missing now.
He didn’t find it until the sunset when he figured out that it was missing the core of the Earth’s beating heart… He then sang his picture as he sat out on his cliff with the girl on the other side of the ocean and all the children sitting far out on their cliff at that exact moment...
The 
world 
stopped
Spinning 
For
Just
That 
One 
Moment.
As
Still
As 
The 
Picture.
They
Sat.
Enjoying
The
Still
World.

Cokie Roberts Shines a Spotlight on our Founding Mothers

“We the people.” That was part of the first line of the Constitution. But it’s not really what the writers meant. Because at that time, “We the people,” probably meant, “We the men”. All the writers were men and many of the important people in history were men. Because women weren’t the generals or the politicians they were often ignored by the people of the time and the people of today. When Cokie Roberts wrote Founding Mothers the Women Who Raised Our Nation and then turned it into a picture book for younger people, she attempted to change that.     When I got the chance to interview her, she said that one of the hardest parts of writing Founding Mothers was finding what the important ladies of the time actually said. Lots of them wrote journals and letters, but often times these were burned, sometimes by the women themselves. As President Truman said to his wife when he saw her burning their letters to each other, “Bess, what are you doing; think of h...

Pigs, Pigs, Pigs! By Rhianon

The pig races have come and gone again, to be back next year. Thank you to every single person who traded in ten or more tickets. That’s $100 that goes to funding to all the cool stuff we have in MVMS, including the iPads and all of the electives. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year here at MVMS. Every single ticket you sold helped your school be what it is. Also, congratulations to every person who got into the Grand Pig Pre . Getting to that annual race is a big accomplishment. It's fun because you help your school while having fun!
