Dear NewsDepth,
We all work together and we also get awards for honor roll and perfect attendance. And we need to get better at being more kind to others. And also clean up after each other. Also stop bullying other kids. And we also need to work on to be more respectful to the teachers.

Dear NewsDepth,
Our school strength and achievements have gone amazing this year. A way I can improve it to study hard get A's and make new friends and maybe a new way to improve the school is that kids' parents donate 5 books to the library every Monday. Parents should donate money so teachers can buy new tools.

Dear NewsDepth,
What we did is we donated 12,000 dollars for our school. Our goal was to raise 10,000 and we raise 12,000 dollars. Every time we donated, we get a different prize every time. That is what we have done to help our school this year.
