I am a Chs student by Keelan Reavis, Community High School
I am a regular student, in a regular school, in which kids enroll to only look “cool.” Day by day I constantly hear people say that we attend the bad school. It’s a constant warfare between us and society. We are always being judged and being excluded for attending Community High. As CHS students, always being threatened of being handcuffed and sent away, we are peasants through everyone’s eyes. it’s not our fault, we always say. We are CHS students and we attend there each and every day.
We came here to graduate, if we may. Though we try to do our best, other schools treats us as pests, creating traps which are hard to avoid, that is how we live, being a student of CHS. As for me, a CHS student, I must say, our only request is a simple “Hey.” I speak for everyone at CHS: Please treat us fine. Enough with the demoralizing things that you enjoy sending our way. We are not paranormal, Nor abnormal, We are just like you, typical human beings attending Community High School.

the lIfe of a PaIntbrush by Meadie Jernigan, The Learning Community School, fifth grade
A fuzzy tip hovers over the canvas. Should it paint a farm with fields of cows sheep and chickens? Maybe abstract with thousands of lines stuck together? Or possibly a forest with life and wonder? Even painting a bear in a tree could get other’s attention. So many choices, such complicated paintings, could a dying flower with rotten delight be the best choice? The brush decides on a birch forest in winter and sets to normal paintbrush work. First swoosh through the bucket of paint blazing through the gloop. Swish, swish, swish over the canvas
squirting wonders with its fine tip, splash into water the paint brush goes. Spirals of colors twist like a happy exploding party. Its fluffy tip splays out like a crazed bouncing jellyfish. splash again and it comes out of the color dance. Swoosh, swish, splash, swipe, the cycle happens over and over, like a boomerang, till the work of art is finished and the brush gets rest. The brush gazes at its masterpiece and art. The color on the canvas is extraordinary, delicate, pretty. Painting happens everyday, and life is the cause of inspiration.
