be the 10th anniversary – next year I’ll run with you” she added. The memorial torch relay run was established in 1976 to honor the memory of those brave, dedi-

Acrostic poems are simple poems in which each the first letter of each line forms a word or phrase (vertically). An acrostic poem can describe the subject or even tell a brief story about it. This type of poem is one of the simplest for a student to write because it gives the child a concrete format to use. You can write an acrostic poem based on your name, a favorite hobby, or something or someone who is important to you! The instructors Sue Lim and Irene Krubski taught the children how to do three-dimensional art work and asked the students to create a patriotic tribute for Memorial Day. We’re delighted to feature a few here in this issue.
