Students went on to develop a story of their own, using the Six-Traits process for creative writing,” she said. Once their stories were written and illus- trated, with the help of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce, students were able to have their stories printed professionally as hard-bound books. Throughout the day on Tuesday, Feb. 14, AMS students walked to Bryn Mawr Elementary School and shared their books with various classes. Following the project eighth grade students were asked to reflect on the project: “I loved writing a children’s book and then having the opportunity to actually read it to children. I hope they liked my story. It was interesting to see little kids understand such a serious subject. I tried to make it serious, but funny at the same time,” said Brianna Stomski. “The best part was when we first stepped into the classroom and all eyes were on us.

(NAPS) Are you looking for a certain kind of furry family member? Consider adoption as an option. Despite popular belief, not all pets needing homes are mixed breeds. In fact, as many as 25 percent of the 8 million dogs and cats in the care of animal welfare agencies are recognizable breeds. All kinds of pets end up homeless for a variety of reasons— frequent?ly due to “people issues” rather than Spaying and neutering pets at an early age improves their long-term health, veterinarians contend. problems with the pets themselves. As a result, local animal shelters and breed-specif- ic rescue groups are great options for people interested in adding a specific breed of pet to their family.
