A citizen for president

By Kennedy York

I think Joe Biden should be president because he has made the world peaceful and here are some examples. First of all, he is trying to make sure that women will stop being abused and treated unlike men. He wants to cause no violence against women because that seems to be a problem for Indiana. He also seems to be a very kind man, as in he has paid off student loans from college which tons of people are very grateful for which is why he should get more support than hate from people.

Throughout his career he has helped many people. Also, he is a democrat, which means a lot to tons of people, and republicans are kinda, well, NOT HELPFUL. He still tried to run for president during Covid-19, which I think is pretty crazy to me because I would be scared to go outside during that. After what he has done for the world, I think he deserves to be president.

Movie Magic: “Barbie”

By Madison Kemper

A movie I have recently watched is “Babie.” It was so good it almost seemed real. The acting was so good, and when she got flat feet it was so realistic but fake at the same time. It looked like they were actual Barbie’s, and I have played with them for so long, and I love them!

And the movie was so good, and it also gave a really good lesson. Those are the best movie ones that give good lessons and are good. One thing that could have been better is the Kens not taking over. The acting was so amazing, they did so well, and the music was on top, too. The plot was just like a Barbie dream house –it couldn’t have been better.

I would definitely recommend it to my friends and anyone. It’s for all ages and has a really good lesson in it. So that is why I loved the “Barbie” movie so much.

Movie Magic: “Harry Potter”

By Anjali Patel

Would you like to read a book about wizards and witches school? Then I have a book for you! A group of wizards wanted a magical stone, so there was a fight. Finally, something crazy happened.

Harry Potter was very scary. I would change that Voldemort would be more scary. I think the acting was good, it was like it was real. I think you should watch it. It was so good.

I would recommend this movie to my friends. It has adventures and my friends like things that are interesting.

Commander in Chief: Barbie for president

By Lauren Wiesmann

If I were president, I would be Barbie! I would choose this because I love the movie “Barbie.” If I were a president, I would name Barbie and make everyone wear pink because pink is my favorite color. I also would let everything be free. I would do this because then everyone would get whatever thing they want, Gas would be free, food would be free. We also would have robots, so we would not have to do anything. Every day the girls would get a pink drink from Starbucks! Valentine’s would be the best holiday because it’s pink and everyone would have a Ken! That’s why I would be Barbie as president!

Commander in Chief

By Sarah Myint

Did you know that Presidents’ Day was established in 1879? That day was created to follow the death of George Washington in 1799. Also, it is mostly celebrated to honor all those who have served as presidents of the US. These fun facts lead us to our main topic – presidents. Presidents are both the head of state and the head of government in the US.

One of the most important role for the president is the Commander in Chief. This is one out of the seven most important roles they receive. They also serve as the chief citizen, chief diplomat, chief executive, chief host, chief legislator, and the chief politician. These are a lot of roles for just one president.

Moving on, the duties of presidents are to veto (a no vote that blocks a decision) and sign bills. They behave as Commander in Chief during a war, too. Also, presidents have to fulfill the law that congress passes and represent our nation in conversations with foreign countries.

They also have the responsibility to execute (said from the constitution). These presidents have a lot of work to do!

To continue, did you know that there are requirements? Some requirements are to be a natural-born citizen of the United States. This means that immigrants that have moved to the US. cannot be president. Also, you have to be at least 35 years old. However, every president so far hasn’t been in their thirties (while being president). In addition, you have to be a resident of the U.S. for 14 years.

Now that you know the responsibilities, needs and roles of a president, let’s talk about actual presidents. Did you know that the youngest president was Theodore

Roosevelt? At age

43, Theodore Roosevelt was elected president. He brought excitement, potential, and power to the office. He was eagerly leading Congress and the American public toward continuous reforms and a strong policy.

Another president is Rutherford B. Hayes. He was the 19th president of the U.S.

Rutherford B. Hayes brought to the executive mansion self-respect, uprightness and moderate reform. He fought in the Civil War and rose to the rank of brevet major general. Hayes was educated at Kenyon College and Harvard Law School.

To conclude this, let’s end off with a funfact paragraph. Did you know that many presidents had unusual careers? For example, Jimmy Carter, (the 39th president) was a peanut farmer! In addition, Abraham Lincoln was 6 feet and 4 inches tall! Anyway, did you know that one of George Washington’s favorite foods was ice cream?

I hope you’ve learned a lot about presidents!

Movie Magic: “My Neighbor Totoro.”

By Najwa Maiquez

My favorite movie is “My Neighbor Totoro.” It’s a Studio Ghibli movie that was made in 1988, so it is 36 years old. It’s a Japanese anime about a creature or spirit that lives in a special tree. A family of 3, two sisters and a dad move to a little village, to be closer to the hospital where their mom is. They moved to an old house, in front of the tree where Totoro lives. Mei and Satsuki, which are the names of the sisters, found out about the spirit and became very curious.

Meanwhile, at the hospital they heard that the mom was getting sicker, so she couldn’t come home. Mei gets upset and runs away from home. Satsuki asked Totoro for help, and they found Mei and all became friends.

I love this movie because of its emotion with the songs and illustrations. The landscapes are beautiful with lots of colors and details. All of it is hand drawn, not 3D. The movie is sad but also exciting, they make the feelings look so real. Like you’re in that person’s shoes. They put lots of effort in the movie. Also, they put fantasy in their minds.

That is why I recommend this movie to everyone!

Movie Magic: “The Flash”

By Jionni Cirabisi

Barry Allen is a great character. He clearly is having fun being the Flash. His lighting should be more straight than all wiggly. Miller runs kind of weird, but it works out. It looks kind of like he is in a video game because of how the graphics

look. I would have liked to see Barry Allen from the TV show pop up at the fight scene at the end of the movie to help fight the villains.

Anyways, I think Reverse Flash should have been in the movie to help General Zod. I think there should have been a vision of Reverse Flash because whenever there is a problem for Barry, he always shows up. When there was an explosion they made it perfect for him going into flash time to save the babies and throwing a burrito into the microwave and eating it.

I also think that Supergirl was amazing. Batman was great. He was so fun to watch in the fight scene. I think he shouldn’t have been on a motorcycle. I think he should have used a glider, or a grapple hook. When the Flash didn’t have his superpower and he was inside like a building this was the funniest part of the movie.

I liked the suit, it looked sick! General Zod was great. I liked his armor, but I didn’t like the visor as his mask. I think he should have worn an all gray mask. I loved when he found a duplicate of himself when he went back in time, but he screwed up everything.

Best Batman so far in everything he did was great. All the stuff that he did was kind of dark, but they did a great job. I also give credit to him for his actions. It was great. They did a good job with the motorcycle design with the black. This movie is one of my favorites.

Commander in Chief

By Noah Davis

This year people will vote for the next president. In this essay, I will talk about four presidents from the past.

George Washington was the first president of the United States of America. Washington was a leader, but in a quiet way. He showed leadership by he was a farmer out in the country then people asked him to be the king or the president, and he picked to be the president.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president. Lincoln was a decision maker. He was in the Civil War, and during the war, he signed the Emancipation Proclamation. When he signed the proclamation that meant that all the slaves where now free.

John F. Kennedy was the 31st president. Kennedy was inspiring to the country by encouraging the country by saying that our country was better place than Russia. He was the person that said that we said that we could be the first place to land a human being on the moon.

Ronald Reagan was the 40th president. He was focused on keeping our country

safe. He had schools do boom drills because he wanted to be prepared in cause a country boomed a area near. He also funded the military more money.

These qualities are good for the future presidents. Washington was a leader, Lincoln was a decision maker, Kennedy was inspiring and Reagan was focused on keeping our country safe.

Movie Magic: “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”

By Sage Victoria Iszler

“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is a movie where the artist Taylor Swift, performs songs from all her albums. There is

wonderful dancing and singing. It is incredible how much work and dedication went into that movie! Her albums include “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989,” “Reputation,” “Lover,” “Folklore,” “Evermore” and “Midnights”!

Taylor Swift has written over 200 songs! That’s a lot! I think Taylor has very beautiful and elegant songs! She has gorgeous clothes in the “Eras Tour” movie. Her dancers are amazing, and they all worked very hard to get to this movie!

The filming was great. You could really feel like you were experiencing this concert, like you were really there! I have watched this movie many times. It is really amazing and impressive! I can’t think of any way this movie could have been better.

I have never been to the Eras Tour, so the movie really helps people like me to see what the concert is like! So yes, I would very much recomend this movie to all my friends!

Movie Magic: “Barbie”

By Kinley Garvey

Have you ever seen the “Barbie” movie? Well, I have, and if you haven’t seen it, I think you should see it. I like it because of

Name:

its message. It proves that girls can do the same things as boys.

Did you know that the film used so much pink paint it caused an international shortage?

Did you know that Margot Robbie also begged to use Aqua’s song “Barbie Girl” in the movie?

The maker of this show is Greta Gerwig. Here’s another fun fact about the movie. Margot Robbie made the cast wear pink on Wednesdays and fined them if they didn’t. Also, “Barbie” contains references to many discontinued dolls. Another fun fact is the cast of “Barbie” went to movie church while the film was in progress.

Have I changed your mind? I hope. Now, go have fun and watch “Barbie.”

Commander in Chief

By Zoe

If I were president, I would do pizza every day, plus ice cream or a cookie, a fruit, and any drink. If you are allergic to pizza you can have anything the cafe workers can make. I would make anything $15 or less. Everything in the vending machine is 50 cents or less. I’d have every room have positive messages. Any trip would be 15 dollars. I’d make every floor bouncy. I will make every teacher have a class pet either a hamster, a turtle, or a lizard. Every room will have carpet.

We would have a three day weekend. The book fair would be five dollars or less. Everybody will get change. The bank will be free and it will have more money than it can hold. I’d make every room have a vending machine with the kids’ choice of snacks. Those ones will always be open so kids can get something for free or you can have a snack. Every water bottle will have a cool design. Every animal will be 15 dollars.

About the ice cream, you can get any flavor you want with any toppings you want. Sometimes you get hot chocolate for one dollar. The roads will be shiny wherever you go. Every video game will be eight dollars.

Do you think I would be a good president?

Commander in Chief

By Asher

If I were president, I would make school shorter. School would not have homework. And school would not be as long, so we get a lot of time at home. I would lower gas prices by $15. I would make school have more recess so that means more playtime. I would higher the amount of police officers.

Commander in Chief

By Morgan

If I were president, I would change the world. I would treat others how they want to be treated, pay them back good and the same amount. When I see a poor human I would give them good stuff like Jesus did. He loves us. I would not be rude to pets or people and not always be on my phone. I would tell people to spend time with your family, spit out love and joy and happiness.

Commander in Chief

By

Maddie

If I were president, I would lower down prices. I would make teachers get paid more. I would make Nintendo Switches for 8 dollars. I would change the laws and make it fair. I would make kids learn more. I would make fancier clothes. I would make school more fun. I would stop traffic. I would make money. I would make school more interesting. I would make classrooms bigger. I would give more money.

Commander in Chief

By Vince

If I was president, I would make everyone not go to school, so my sister could be happy. Then everyone would have to go home and then do homeschool. And everyone would do two minute math. And If I make everyone not go to school, my sister will be very happy. Scarlet wants me to make kids not go to school. And also if I was president. I would make every toy and all sorts of toys come to life and everything would be free and all sorts of people would be happy and excited too and also, I would make it to their iPads alllllllllllllll day. Then that’s what I would do if I was president.

Commander in Chief

By Jensen

If I were president, I would lower the prices for gas and help the homeless. I would also higher the payment for teachers and principals and higher the amount of police men and women. I would also take care of my Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force and space force people. And make talking microwaves ovens and toasters. I would also make unbreakable glass so that houses and banks don›t get robbed. That’s what I would do if I was president.

Commander in Chief

By Gracie

If I were president I would say no abandoning kids because if you do the kids will not have a home to live in or money to buy food and water and then they might die. I would also say if you want to abandon a dog you have to at least take it to the shelter if not to the place you adopted it

if you found the dog homeless you have to take it to the shelter. I would also say if you hurt, kill, or are really mean to a person because of the color of their skin you will go to the courtyard. PS, unless you›re a kid. I would also say if you see a lost or homeless pet bunny or dog or cat, report it to the police immediately so they can find its owner. I would also say kids will wake at 10:30 AM then go to school and leave at 5:50 so they are not all grouchy when they wake up, but they will have the same time in school.

Commander in Chief

By Jackson

If I were president, I would lower healthy food prices and water and milk prices. I would also make a bathroom that both boys and girls are allowed. I would also make supplies that you›re going to get for school one more dollar than they spend to make it. I would also not allow guns to be made. I would also lower gas prices. I would also let people that work have more breaks than just Saturday and Sunday. I would also destroy cigarettes. Do you think everything is fair? I would make things fair.

Commander in Chief

By Kailun

If I were president, I›d make useful things at a low price and everyone help people by donating $5.25 every Thursday to help people in need. I would change school time to 9 hours and let school have 2 recesses and make a holiday called School Day and the date November 24, 2056. On that day, I›ll make school for 24 hours and 3 recesses and there is dangerous stuff. I›ll build a secret hideout, so if there is an earthquake, tornado, lava, fire, lockdown, and practice ones.

Commander in Chief

By Advay

If I were president, I would lower the gas prices. I would also let children have more recess. I would also make security better. I would let kids sleep in on school days, but they would get out of school at 1 o›clock. I would make more roundabouts and less traffic lights. I would also make healthy food. I would also make more mechanical pencils and less normal pencils. I would also make more pencil lead for them. I would also make better erasers. I would also make softer blankets. I would also make better ice cream flavors for the

summer. I would also make a snowball maker for winter. I would also make robots to fight in the army. I would also make better glasses. I would also make a better school. I would also make better Pokémon movies. I would also make better books. I would also make more snacks. I would also make more plays for kids to be in. I would also sell pets for less money. I would also make more funny movies and cool movies. I would also make more desserts. I would also make more electric cars and less gas cars. I would also make more waffle makers. I would also not kill any living thing. I would also make better video games. I would also make better water bottles. I would also make better cameras. I would also make better chocolate candy. I will also make a $1 trillion bill and $1 million bill and a $15 bill and a $25 bill. I would also make a teleporter. I would delete all the horror movies. I would also make more math and reading for kids to do so they can get smart. I would make more comfy coats. I would make more comfy couches too. I would also make better clothes. I would make more robots for scientists. I would make the biggest skyscraper. I would make the biggest house on earth. I would also make

the biggest robot on earth. I would make better tables too. I would make people dig more gems.

Commander in Chief

By Maggie

If I were president, I would change the school lunches. If I were president I would change the money amounts. If I were president I would change the food menus. If I were president I would say treat people how you want to be treated, help your family, help your siblings, and your parents.

Commander in Chief

By Delaney

If I were president, I would lower the food prices and the gas price. I would have more gas stations and more neighborhoods because more people move every year. I would have more vets and more hospitals. I would not have Restaurants that are expensive. I think all of these things should be like this because parents can›t afford all of this stuff. I think every school should learn cursive because it is so fun. I think kids should control their lives because it is their body. High school kids should not go

to school at 6:00am instead they should go at 8:00am. I think all kids should have 8 hours of school. I think kids should not own guns because they are not safe. This is why I think I could be a good president.

Movie Magic: “Trolls Band Together”

By Hazel

Do you like adventure movies? If you do you would probably like “Trolls Band Together.” The movie is all about saving Floyd from superstars Velvet and Veneer. Now here›s why they have to save Floyd. At the beginning Floyd is in a band called Brozone. They were trying to hit the perfect family harmony that can shatter diamonds, but they couldn›t hit it. Then they were so mad at their brother John Dory, they split up and never talked to each other again. Then somehow Floyd got caught by Velvet and Vaneer. Floyd›s brothers and Poppy travel a long way to save Floyd.

A thing I love about this movie is Branch, Clay, Bruce, John Dory, and Poppy are risking their lives to save Floyd›s. A thing I don›t like about the movie is they sing some words too fast. This is why I don›t like Velvet and Veneer in the movie they are sucking the life out

of Floyd. My opinion is a 5 out of 5 stars. Also I›ve watched it 12 times! I really like this movie. Elementary kids, preschoolers, and toddlers would probably like this movie. This is all why I think you would like this movie.

Movie Magic: “Jumanji”

By Finn

Have you watched “Jumanji”? Well, if you haven›t you really should. Because it is a magic board game about a little boy from the 90s that finds a magic board game. And his dad is a shoemaker. And I think you should really watch this movie. The boy›s dad is really famous. And lastly, the boy gets sent to the jungle because of the board game and then 20 years later A boy and a girl found the abandoned house and found the board game up in the attic. Then there was the exact number that the little boy from the 90s called and he comes back from the jungle and at the end, it says if you finish the game it all goes away and when they finish the game, he went back to when he was a kid. But the two reasons why he didn›t want to go back was that his parents had died and his childhood bully would beat him up.

Movie Magic: “Iron Man”

By Matthew

Do you like fighting? Well Iron Man 1, 2, and 3 are the right Choice for you. In the first movie, he got kidnapped and he has an arc reactor to replace his heart and so he can put on his suit. In the second movie, the villain had the blueprints to the arc reactor when he put it on he could wield lightning. And he almost defeated Iron man but he upgraded his suit so when lightning hits his suit he has full power. In the third movie people who get healed turn bad and his house got blown up and when he called his suit it went on Pepper and by the way Pepper is Tony Stark›s assistant and Tony Stark is Ironman. If you like action, you’ll like the Ironman movies.

Movie Magic: “Charlie in the Chocolate Factory”

By Loren

Do you like chocolate candy? If you do, you would like this Roald Dahl original “Charlie in the Chocolate Factory.” This movie is about how five kids get a chance to Go Wonka›s chocolate factory. If they buy a chocolate bar of his and they find a golden ticket in it they get to go to the factory. Four rich kids get it and poor little Charlie wishes to get it too.

I think you should watch this movie because it is funny, exciting and sad with all emotions. It feels like family. A couple things I would change is turning a girl into a blueberry. It was scary, sucking a boy into a tube, turning a girl into a garbage can. The guy who acts like Willy Wonka is kinda scary. But this movie is definitely worth watching, so if you›re bored, you can watch it.

Movie Magic: “Sharkboy and Lavagirl”

By Evangeline

Have you ever seen the amazing “Sharkboy and Lavagirl” movie? If not, you›re missing out!

Sharkboy and Lavagirl have three main characters. Sharkboy and Lavagirl of course, and nine year old Max, the daydreamer. The movie is about Max, who is needed by Sharkboy and Lavagirl! Planet Drool is dying! Max is on a mission to stop the darkness and Mr.Electric. Even though they have many obstacles, they still work as a team to beat Mr. Electric.

If you are interested, watch it on Netflix! And that›s not all! Some people find this movie very funny! Most of the movie›s setting is in a dream. And another one of the main subjects is dreaming. You won’t regret watching this movie!

Movie Magic: “Encanto”

By Harrison I like Encanto because it is funny. And I wish I could have a house like that they

should have changed Doloras› power to teleporting power not hearing everything people say that would be so hard to hear everything people say that would be so hard

Movie Magic: “Grease”

By Amelia

Do you ever think about movies with love like Grease? It›s from the 70s, but based on the 50s. It is with Oliva NewtonJohn and John Travolta, and it has songs like “Hopelessly Devoted to You.”

John Travolta plays Danny and Oliva plays Sandy. The movie is for age nine and up. I would give it four stars. People say the second movie has bad music and the pink ladies were funny. I loved the movie. The T-Birds were funny. It was a funny movie, and it has more songs like “Look at me I›m Sandra Dee” and “Grease Lightning.”

I think you would like “Grease.”

Movie Magic: “Wonka”

By Phoebe

Have you ever seen the movie “Wonka”? Well, it›s the backstory. It›s the young Wonka. So basically Willy tries to open a chocolate store. And he does! But something happens to it. The good thing is its the real story and it›s funny. The bad thing is that the colors of everybody’s clothes are dark. To me this is a 5 outta 5. And more about the movie… he discovers a friend named Noodle. They work together to be successful. Then, three businessmen are trying to drown them in chocolate and not make them successful. Mrs. Scrubbit and Bleacher are too! That›s the story of Wonka. You can watch it at home now, so you can watch it today if you want!

Movie Magic: “Remember the Titans”

By Catherine

Do you like football? If so, I recommend the movie ‘Remember the Titans’. Not only is it a great movie, but it also has great characters. A really nice coach and a mean coach work together to coach the Titans. It›s a movie for someone aged 8 or above. My brother and I watched it on a 3hour trip. It›s very entertaning.In the story they make it to the championship. But one of their players gets in a car crash. And gets in a car crash and gets paralyzed from the waist down. His name is Garrett. I think i›m like the nice coach because I›m nice. The main coach makes everyone get up around 3 o›clock every morning!

If you›re looking for a movie with excitement, you found it. I really enjoy this movie. It just makes me feel like I›m in a different world, a good world too. I really hope I convinced you to watch this movie.

Movie Magic: “Five Nights at Freddy›s”

By Sam

Do you like killer animal robots? Then ‘Five Nights at Freddy›s’ is a good movie for you. You can also play the games. I think the FNAF movie is good but it could have some changes. By the way it is a PG 13 movie, so don›t let your kids or siblings watch it if they are under 13, and if you›re young like me, watch it with your parents.

Ok some changes are the plot, wow wow wow wow ok ok don›t get me wrong

Walnut Grove Elementary Fourth grade

think stand out.

I think a president should be really brave and have a lot of leadership. As an example, sometimes if some countries are in a war, the president might have to go in and try to fix the problem before it gets out of hand.

I also think that a president should be kind and have a warm heart. With these traits they could use part of their presidency to help others, not just in the USA but in other countries too.

If a president has all or some of these traits, I think we would have a really good president, with bravery, leadership, kindness and a warm heart.

Commander in Chief: The qualities a president should have.

By Aiden Roberts

What qualities do you think would make a good president? I think the next president should have leadership qualities so that they can lead the country through tough times. I also think the next president should understand their citizens in votes that don’t make sense. I too believe the next president should be kind to other world leaders and the U.S. citizens. Last

but not least, I think the next president should be proud of their citizens and the country. Those are the qualities that I think the next president should have.

Commander in Chief

By Lily Napier

To start as a wonderful president I believe our 2024 president should have a loving heart for all genders and skin colors. Our president should love our earth, nature and animals. They should have a kind and polite heart to everyone, and a president should be a good sport to everyone, even their opponents. They have to be brave because they have to sometimes have hard relationships with other countries. A president should not care about the votes, just helping people and the environment to make the planet a better place. They should make smart choices as a president. Another nice thing to do is volunteer at Animal shelters cleaning the planet and helping the elderly. There are many more ways they can be admirable and friendly but these are just some ways to make our planet better.

What I would do as a president is volunteer for animal shelters, cleaning the planet and helping the elderly in a nursing

home. I would make all genders and skin colors welcome. I will donate money, help schools with what they need. I would make smart choices as a president. As president I would help all people and animals in need, make our planet a better place, and be a good sport to everyone, especially my opponent.

In conclusion, in my opinion that’s what will make a good president and what I would do if I was president.

Commander in Chief

By Jensen

John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” I think those qualities would make an amazing president.

First, I believe our next president should be a Christian. I think this because that is the religion I am. Faith is important to not just me, but many people in our country. Another reason why I think the president should be a Christian is they value honesty, fairness and believe everyone should be treated equally. Also, if there were a Christian president maybe there could be church everyday so if people want to go to church daily or on days other than

1125 W. Jefferson Street | 317.346.3883

Sunday, they can.

Secondly, I would like the president to care more about education. If I was the president, I would make teachers give less homework. I would also give two free days off school every month. I think teachers should make more money and the president could give more money to schools. The president should care about teachers and schools because all kids need to learn math and how to read so they can be successful adults one day.

Finally, presidents should be caring towards others and the environment. If I were president, I’d give homeless people $1.5K, so they can buy what they need or want. I’d also create a law against littering because I don’t want the world to be polluted or animals harmed.

To sum it up, I think if a president does all of these things: make his or her actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, become more and is a Christian, they will be a really amazing President.

Movie Magic: “Migration”

By Annabelle Fletcher

Are you looking for a perfect family movie? Well then I think the “Migration” movie is right up your alley! “Migration” is about a family of birds deciding to migrate for the first time but they run into a chef who wants to cook them!

When I saw “Migration” I fell in love with it. This movie is relatable for both kids and adults. It shows how kids want to explore and love to see the world and it shows how adults are always protecting their children no matter what. The voice acting and scripts are wonderful. You can definitely tell if a character is excited or nervous or any feeling in between. But overall the voice actor I was most impressed with was definitely Carol Kane (the ducks mom). It was so cool how well she expressed the character’s feelings. This is a great movie for families or just someone looking for something funny. This movie is an amazing choice for just about anyone!

Movie Magic: “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”

By Luke Swayze

I loved this movie and to start off I’m going to tell you a little about the movie, Let’s-A-Go!

possibly Donkey Kong be able to save the Mushroom Kingdom or will Bowser take supreme? Watch this amazing movie to find out!

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” took all of the games that Nintendo made and combined them into this magnificent film. The first thing I want to talk about is the Power-ups. The Power-up idea in this movie is great but they could have chosen to use other Power-ups like the Super Feather (this power gives Mario a cape and he can fly with it) or even the Giga Bell (it turns Mario into a giant cat)! I also think that the Fire Flower was very misjudged because it only appears once for like 10 seconds.

Let’s talk about the voice acting in this movie! The idea of using Chris Prat as Mario was super unexpected! I usually think of Mario as an Italian plumber. Princess Peach was played by Anya Taylor-Joy which was a really good choice for Princess Peach because of voice. Luigi was played by Charlie Day. He was in the “Lego Movie,” so he already has had some animated adventure experience. Next up is Jack Black as Bowser and I think this was the best choice for the Mario movie. He played the best role in the Peaches song. Lastly, Donkey Kong is played by Seth Rogen, this was an amazing choice because of how much Donkey Kong laughs, and his laugh is hilarious!

I disagree with the Rotten Tomatoes review of this movie. “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” got a 54% review. That’s probably because people did not like the voice actors.

Finally, I’m going to talk about the Easter eggs! There are 345 Easter eggs in this movie. It feels like an endless amount of Easter eggs in this movie. I’ve watched this movie over 50 times and every time there is a new Easter egg! From Brooklyn to the Mushroom Kingdom, there are thousands of eggs. It might be original game references or all Nintendo things. Make sure when you watch this movie, you look for all the Easter Eggs because there is a GINORMOUS amount!

Are you looking for a good family movie? If you are, I think the “Trolls Band Together” is the perfect movie!

“Troll Band Together” is where Branch and his 3 brothers are on a hunt to save their 4th brother from pop stars Velvet and Veneer. Will they be able to save him or will he stay there forever? I really liked the movie. The movie was thrilling. It was worth the money. There were a lot of twists and turns.

Characters in the movie looked absolutely amazing. Voice actors Justin

Timberlake and Anna Kendrick played Branch and Poppy. Their voices fit perfectly. Justin Timberlake voices Branch was perfect because of his deep voice which made him sound like a grumpy troll. Anna Kendrick was perfect for Poppy because of her very bright and exciting voice. There were some editing mistakes, but they were very small and not noticeable. Overall the movie was absolutely amazing.

Movie magic: “Genie”

By Azalea Oertel

Have you seen the movie “Genie”? It is an awesome family movie. “Genie” is a very joyful and surprising movie. I would recommend Genie to others because it is a Christmas miracle. It was so wonderful I watched it 30 times.

Melissa McCarthy did a great job playing Flora the Genie. She was so funny and cheerful. She made me laugh so much. Paapa Essiedu did amazing playing Bernard. His feelings went up and down with the movie and I don’t see that in actors a lot. I think that the part where Flora was trying out new outfits was my favorite part. It is so funny and sweet. It has some violent scenarios, mild insults, and

positive messages about prioritizing love.

In the movie “Genie,” the genie Flora came out of her box. Then tried to help Bernard. Will the genie save all the problems with Bernard? So get your puppy chow, and watch the movie to find out.

Movie Magic: “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”

By Grady Corbin Smith

I think SMB (Super Mario Bros) was a great movie itself, but I feel like mainly kids in elementary school would like it just because if you’re in college or high school or anything like that you’re kind of at the age that you just don’t like watching any cartoons anymore. I mean some people gotta agree with me honestly. Also the animations they did in the movie were pretty good and it was especially pretty funny but I’m not just gonna tell you why it’s funny you gotta watch it if you want to know more about it.

When I heard Super Mario Bros. came out, I was pretty excited because I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody release a Mario movie, but it would be pretty funny if Nintendo made it.

Anyway I’d probably rate this movie about a 9/10 just because it’s not

Name: School: Grade: Parents: Teacher: Crystal Villarreal Custer Baker Intermediate School Mr. Warner Roberto Villarreal 6

really perfect, but it’s pretty amazing. I’d definitely recommend this movie to other people of any age.

Chris Pratt was the one I think that voiced Mario, but he did an awesome job because I think they have to predict what their characters are gonna say or they just have a computer telling them what they need to say. Charlie Day was Luigi and I saw a picture of him and I have no idea how he voices that bro. He looks like a grown man but he voices a tall but scared cartoon character. Anya Taylor-Joy voiced Princess Peach. I think the same about Mario, but she said “I was like, ‘Please don’t call me. It’s a Sunday, and I have to go do research – gaming’”

So when I read this, I just figured out that she was literally practicing for this like that makes no sense like did you know that you were gonna voice Peach in the Mario movie? Anyway, Jack Black voiced bowser and he definitely looks like he could be able to voice bowser pretty easily just because of how deep he can make his voice.

The movie is actually entertaining because I’ve watched it so many times and I’m still entertained from watching it. Final rating on this movie is an honest

9/10. I think I already said that but still 9/10 is the final score. I’m only giving it 9/10 just because it is very entertaining and you could watch it over and over and still be entertained. Anyway I think they could add some more things from the actual Mario games like adding the actual Mario kingdom that bowser lives in. Anyway I’d love to see some more of these Mario movies, read my next books, and have an awesome day!

Movie Magic: “Once Upon a Crime”

By Farrin De Leon-Smith

“Once Upon a Crime” is a really thrilling, surprising and mysterious movie. It’s like a Cinderella tale but with extra characters and a really big plot twist.

“Once Upon a Crime” is a mystery, a mystery where the king’s royal hairdresser (Hans) is killed by someone who they don’t know. Yuko Araki was Cinderella and had really good acting, she acted surprised when she was supposed to and scared when she was supposed to. Kanna Hashimoto (Red riding hood) was serious most of the time so it was hard to tell what she was supposed to be feeling. For short the acting was wonderful!

I would definitely recommend this movie

Name: School: Grade: Parents: Teacher: Elise Nixon Greenwood Christian Academy Mr. Dunn Allison Nixon 5

to people who are looking for a thriller and mystery. Also, I would give this movie 5 stars, why would I? The acting was magnificent, the effects were stunning and it had a really big plot twist at the end. To be honest this was a great movie!

Movie Magic: “Pathaan”

By Vihaan Rangarajan

Do you like good action movies?

“Pathaan” is just right for you! You should watch it. It’s suspenseful, fun and PG-13. People keep fighting. I don’t know why. My parents say that some parts may be too much violence for me but I don’t care. It’s my favorite movie, that’s why I wrote about it.

What Yash Raj Films could have removed was when the African terrorist shoots a woman. It’s too scary for young kids. It’s also kind of sad. I don’t know anything about the actors.

People are in Africa. They move to Dubai & start chasing each other & catching Jim. Then two people try to crack open a vault & one person drops the other inside & leaves him there. There are some scientists who catch mutant smallpox. Then, they die. Pathaan wins the fight with Jim. My favorite part is when they are in

Dubai. They get on a truck & fight. Dubai has lots of tall buildings, including the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world).

I recommend the movie for ages 13+. There’s too much violence for little kids. I’m 10, I still watch it, I say it’s good. Ignore that it will say 16+ in the start of the movie, if you’re watching it on Netflix.

You should watch the movie. It’s great, Parents, please supervise your child when they’re watching this movie. I recommend it.

Movie Magic: “The Hill”

By Brooks Brabender

I love this movie because it is about baseball. This movie is mostly about a guy that wants to play in the MLB but he has something wrong with his legs. His dad said he can’t because he wants him to be a preacher like him. They had no money and they had to move because he told people they can’t do certain stuff in

a church. If you like baseball you should watch this movie.

The good thing about this movie is it is based on a true story and the acting is great. My favorite actor was Colin Ford who played Rickey. I didn’t think anything was wrong with the movie. My favorite part in the movie was when Rickie hit a home run off a major league player. Main character was Rickie. Rickie was the one who had something wrong with his legs.

Movie Magic: “Five Nights at Freddy’s”

By Roman

Do you like good old horror films? A movie with a bunch of lore? Well, the FNAF movie is just right for you. I am going to talk about the movie FNAF, otherwise known as “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” It is a great movie. It’s about a boring guy who lost his brother when he was younger. He’s trying to find a job but the job he’s signing up for is haunted. But he doesn’t know and is in a tight situation. Will he live? Find out by watching the movie.

I recommend you go and see it. It’s REALLY good, 4.9/5. Not how I thought it would go, the people who watched it say 4.4/5 because they thought it would be different. The actor is of the main villain Matthew Lillard being William Afton. And he says his famous line, “I always come back” gives me chills and the famous youtuber is Matpat who says his line that he’s famous for “it’s just a theory a game theory.”

I love that, Josh Hutcherson is the main character, Mike Schmidt. Matthew Lillard he was my favorite character. The animatronics are people in costumes. It looks so real! Foxy is the only one who is fully animatronic. It’s so cool how he is fully controlled by remotes and buttons.

Well, I hope this encourages you to go and see the movie.

Movie Magic: “The Minions Movie”

By Wesley Richardson

If you like fictional, funny, and adventure movies I would recommend “The Minions Movie.”

“The Minions Movie” actors are Pierre Coffin who plays all of the Minions, Sandra Bullock who plays Scarlet Overkill, and Jon Hamm who plays Herb Overkill who is Scarlet Overkill’s husband. The movie is about the Minions that are very sad and bored about not having a villain master to rule them and the cave they live in because the masters before had died so 3 Minions named Bob, Kevin, and Stuart go on an adventure out of their cave to find a villain master after a long adventure to Orlando, Florida, they have found a villain master named Scarlet Overkill in Orlando, Florida, at a thing called Villain Con. Scarlet Overkill tells

them to steal Queen Elizabeth’s crown, after they steal Queen Elizabeth’s crown a Minion named Bob is getting chase by the cops and pulls the sword from from the stone and becomes the king and Scarlet Overkill thinks they betrayed her so she punishes them by putting them in a chamber, but they escaped.

I liked this movie a lot because of the acting and the minions. I really liked how the actors made it sound like the characters were sad, mad or happy. I would recommend this movie because it is very funny and puts me in a good mood after watching it.

Commander in Chief: George Washington

By Benjamin George

One of the best presidents, at least I think, was George Washington. In fact my last name is George. I know that’s not his last name but it’s a pretty cool last name. George is often called the Father of his country. He is also the first president of the United States of America. He was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County. His head is actually carved into a mountain! He was elected on April 30, 1789.

Just like Washington, a good president has the ability to see the big picture. They respect people, they are good leaders, and they have a good Army. So George showed us you can keep your town and people and make good laws so it’s fair for everyone.

This is the way you can have a good safe town. A good president is kind, caring and goes into war so you don’t make your army do all the work. A brave president is a safe president and makes agreements to settle wars so it does not go on and on and on forever. It would be really cool if a president as good as George also had laws that the people had to have fun. Then, the towns would all be safe and having fun.

Commander in Chief

By Quincy

If I were a candidate for a president, I would make sure I was kind, honest and fair to everyone. I would not take money from citizens. I would also not raise unfair taxes and every one would have equal rights. I wouldn’t be rude on social media. Other presidents have acted bad on the internet I would not do that I would also have courage In making our country grow with people from all cultures across the world. I would also be brave against other countries who may want to try to take over our America. I would not make people pay

taxes. I would not make the prices high for example gas and food. These are a few traits I think a good president should have.

Commander in chief

By Charlee Paugh

Have you ever wanted to be president before? Well I have and I thought really deep into it, and I think that if I were president these are the changes that I would make. If I were president, I’d be the first woman. The very first change I would make is I would give everybody in the USA (who wants it) $100,000,000. Then I would help fight in wars and heal people, and pay them extra money for their service.

I would especially give thanks, and extra payment to all the hard working parents, construction workers, 911 helpers, teachers, and all the people who work out there in the cold, hot, stormy and rainy weather. I would keep taxes, but make it less expensive. All the kids in the hospitals I would come visit. I would most definitely give speeches about keeping our country clean and healthy, and keeping our oceans clean so sea life can live. I would respect all other countries around the world, and respect the states

in our country.

The thing I would want to do the most if I were president is to help people live better lives and also I just want to help people to be nice to one another. I would be equal to all people, I would be a responsible, respectful and kind president too. I would fly to other countries to help their land if it is damaged or people died in wars. I would help our country stand tall, to tell people to respect our land. If they want our land then we will fight for it, and I’ll help.

Commander in Chief

By Chloe Proctor

Who wants a great president? Great presidents has pleasant, courage, integrity and decision-making.

I think that every person should have a chance to be president if they would want to be president. Girls should have a chance to be president. If I was president, I would treat everyone like they would want to be treated.

Have you ever wanted to be president before? I don’t think that presidents should not be texting rude things on social media instead they should be texting nice things. They should also lower the gas

prices. They should also lower the food prices too. Presidents should also have good traits. There should be more girls running for president. I think this year a girl should be elected.

Did you know that there have been 46 presidents! Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we had a girl president? A long time ago, girls were not allowed to vote for president ... and now girls are allowed to vote now which is greater and they should have had the choice to vote back then.

Fun fact: did you know that George Washington was the first president ever? Now that’s cool! To get everyone to like a president a president should be kind, helpful, caring, and friendly and more. Also they shouldn’t not be being mean, cruel, uncaring and unkind.

Commander in Chief

By Lilly Smith

What would you do if you were a president? If I were President, I would be kind and helpful to everyone. I would build apartments for homeless people so that they will have a good life. I would give people helpful things that they need. I would also help other people when they

need something. I would always be willing to do whatever it takes to help other people with things that they need. I would be respectful to others .I would plant trees and plants so we can have fresh air to breathe.

A good President would be able to control himself and not act ridiculous. I would help animals that need help so they stay healthy and safe from danger and harm. I would make sure that people are safe and healthy. A good president would pay good attention to people that are racing.

Movie Magic: “Remember the Titans”

By Christian

Clancy

Have you ever seen the movie “Remember the Titans”? There was nothing in this movie that could have been better!

The acting was really good because this movie is about when black and white people had to go to the same school. The football coach made them get along and play football together so they could get along more. They were really good and they won the state championship. The acting was really good when they were playing football. Another thing was that the sounds were on point really well also.

The music was really good too. There Name:

was a lot of country music and I like country music. That’s also another reason why I like this movie so much. The plot line was also good. I liked the filming too because they would show the people up close and not from far away.

I would definitely recommend this movie to friends and family. This movie was really funny too. It was funny when after their practice they went to the locker room and someone turned music on and they were having a dance battle in the locker

in the movie was Gerry Bertier. I would recommend this movie to anybody.

I hope you watch this movie and like it as much as I do

Movie Magic: “The Waterboy”

By Landon Beeson

Are you looking for a teenage movie?

“The Waterboy” would be perfect. Well you should because it is really funny. And it is a family movie. I thought it was good. At first he was a waterboy for a college

play Bobby ran and trucked the QB and the couch was so happy and he got offered to play for the Mudd Dogs. But his mama would not let him play football and Bobby accessed his mama to invite the couch for dinner and they were having all together when the couch got there they ate and just a few minutes later mama got upset and left the dinner table and before the couch went out the door the couch said sometimes you do not have to obey your mama once my mom told me not to

I always want the movie to end but this time I didn’t want the movie to end when I watched Barbie. They should really come out with a Barbie 2. What I thought could be better is that Barbie should’ve signed more songs than Ken because Barbie is the main character.

One of the best parts of “Barbie” is when Barbie had a flashback and she wanted to go to the real world to meet the little girl that played with her but she realized that she was a teenager but the mom glanced at her and the mom new how she was immediately so the mom helped Barbie for the rest of the movie. The best place to watch it is the movie theater because it is a big screen.

The setting of the story is in Barbie land and outside. This movie is on the app HBO Max, Prime, Hulu and YouTube. I like this movie because it was really interesting, exciting. Just in case I have not said this yet, the movie was a musical and I love musicals. The person that played Barbie is Margot Robbie and the person that played ken is Ryan Gosling.

Did you know that the Barbie movie used so much paint that there was a shortage of pink paint? Does this sound like a good movie to you? It is for me did you find interesting stuff well that is all about Barbie. I don’t want to give too much information because I don’t want to spoil the movie. Did you like my story? Hope you liked the story.

Thanks for reading my story!

Bye!

Move Magic: “Encanto”

By Mia Rose Clevenger

“Encanto” came to theaters in November of 2021. I would recommend this movie because it has Spanish words and the characters live in Columbia. The characters are Mirabel, her mom, her sisters Isabella, Luisa, her Uncle Bruno, and her Abuella. This is a good movie because of the music and acting. It’s about a family that speaks Spanish and English. They have magic powers and magic doors.

So Mirabel got a scratch. Her mom healed her with an arepa con queso. Basically an arepa con queso is cheese with breading. I think the movie would be better if her Uncle Bruno was there all along. What I mean is I wish he was there from the beginning to the end. He’s not there because he disappeared. Then Mirabel finds him living in the attic of the house. I think Encanto is an awesome movie. It’s on Disney Plus and DVD. You can get the DVD at Walmart or on Amazon

Movie Magic: “Elf”

By Molly Pease

Are you looking for the perfect family movie? I think “Elf” is a perfect Movie for you! I would recommend it 10/10. There

DAILY JOURNAL 13

is three reasons #1: It is a really funny movie. #2: It is perfect for families. #3: It is the best Christmas movie. It came out on November 7, 2003. If you watch it a 100 times it is still really funny! It is a really good movie for any age kid or adult. I and my family watch “Elf” when we put up the Christmas tree and on Christmas Eve. The age a kid should watch it is probably four or five.

Now I will tell you about the movie. An elf, played by Will Ferrell, is adopted by Santa’s elves after he snuck into Santa’s bag. And he also thinks he’s an elf but

Junior Journal 2024

about the movie is that you can tell if they are sad, mad or excited. What I also liked was that Barbie was doing so well with the acting. I usually want a movie to end but i did not want the movie to end. What could have been better was that it had one bad word in one of the songs at the end. One last thing that could have been better was that Barbie could have had more songs than

Ken because Barbie is the main character. That is what could have been better. How I thought of the acting was I thought it was good. I thought it was

about the movie. I love the big Barbie houses at the beginning. I love the way that she eats her food, and it’s funny how she fake’s the eating, and then when she gets captured and they get her tea and she didn’t think there was anything in the cup but there was and she spills it all over herself. I loved the part when she tries to escape. Then she ran into this door and there was an old lady in it and the old lady was the creator of Barbie and it was a good scene. It is a really good movie. It’s also very emotional at the end. Overall I love the “Barbie” movie and

a school before. She makes new friends and they skip class and there talking on football field and then they people walking on the field there is three girl there and the most popular girls in the school. Ones dad owns a big company snickerdoodle, the next girl is the dumbest girl you’ll meet, and the most popular girl you’ll meet she’s the cheer captain of the team.

So they left. They were walking in and they were talking about the tables at lunch and there were a lot like ten tables where she got her lunch. And she was walking to her friends table and the popular girl

want to watch.

It’s a great movie to watch with friends and by yourself either one is fun to watch. The second movie is not so great. It’s kinda suckey but they all are not for kids so I wouldn’t make them watch it but they are good movies so you chose.

recommend it because it is one of my favorite movies.

Movie Magic: “Jumanji”

By Elise

Are you looking for a good adventure movie? Fighting challenges? Well, “Jumanji” is the perfect movie for you!

intense and awkward too. Then they managed to get the plane and get out while they were on the plane the gem fell out and was swarmed by rhinos and one of them risked their lives to get it. It was intense but he managed to get the gem and get back on.

fun with my co-president.

Secondly, I know some president’s aren’t alive anymore. But, here are some presidents I would be friends with. First, Abraham Lincoln, he’s my favorite president. He stopped slavery even though people disagreed, and I’m grateful he did or else I wouldn’t have a friend of mine. Next, George Washington. He made the USA a free country. In doing that he gave me and millions of other people freedom.

Last, Donald Trump. Well I just kind of like him. Even though some people want to send him to jail, I wouldn’t. Now, there are some presidents that I just hate more than ever. First, Aaron Berr. He KILLED a man named Alexander Hamilton in 1805. That’s not ok. Next, Joe Biden. He is claiming Trump did something illegal but that’s not true. Lastly, he isn’t really a president but I can’t stand him. His name is John Booth. He KILLED Lincoln. He did this because he still wanted slavery.

Thirdly, being a president means keeping the USA safe. So, if something bad were happening I would keep my people safe from harm’s way. For example, if there was a war going on at that moment, I would close the barriers and gather the army to tell them where to go to fight. Also, I would move my people away from the danger. Speaking of, I would find a way to make the USA a better country. One way is to lower the price of electric cars so we can save some natural gas. Also I would give a lot of money to the heroes to lower the price for cancer treatment. Lastly, I would make it illegal for people to litter so we can make the USA cleaner.

But, if I’m going to be completely honest, I wouldn’t like to be president. But that’s my opinion if I were president. But tell me would you like to be president? Why or why not? What would you do if you were president?

Movie Magic: “Migration”

By Audrey Thompson

Have you seen the movie “Migration,” and did you like it? Well let me tell you what I think.

The ads had made the movie look really funny. By the time I got to the middle of the movie I knew this was not what it looked like. They used all the funny parts for the ads, so there was nothing funny that I hadn’t already seen.

The voice actors that they chose matched the characters very well. Some of the characters did not have any dialogue but only grunts and snarls, which showed the characters feelings. There were characters that were not shown in the ads and made funny appearances. There were times in the movie where I laughed … on the inside. The dialogue was just not funny enough to make me

laugh out loud. I would not recommend this movie, the voices were funny but if you have seen the ads you have already seen half the movie.

I think the people who came up with the idea and concept for this movie had a pretty good vision of what the movie was going to look like but, I think they could have added a little more to it. I liked that it was kid friendly so all ages can watch it. There was no cliff hanger and it did not seem like there would be a second movie coming out.

The characters that were not in the ads had very funny attributes like, crazy hair. I liked that all of the characters were either people or birds, and all the birds were not just ducks. With the variety of places the birds went I think shows that kids love to explore and see the world and that parents are protective but also supportive to their children’s ideas. But overall, I think this movie could have been a lot better.

Some of the things in this movie I liked but there were a lot more things that I didn’t like then how much I did like. If you ever go to a movie, read the reviews and see what other people think of the movie.

Movie Magic: “Ralph Breaks the Internet”

By Manisha Gadwal

Have you watched a movie then wrote about it? Well I did a few days ago, I watched a movie called “Ralph Breaks the Internet.” When I saw the movie I fell in love with it so much I told my friend to watch the movie, and she LOVED IT!

In the movie, a girl named Vanellope Von Sweet is a game character. After she lost her game, Vanellope was so disappointed her best friend Ralph tried to help her, so they decided to go to the internet to help her game.

They go to a game called Slaughter Race. Vanellope makes a lot of friends, and wants to stay. Ralph was jealous and mad like a lion. He asks his friend to give him a virus to make the game go slow. But then the virus made the game restart and if Vanellope stayed in there she would be gone forever. Ralph felt so guilty about it. Will he make the right choice and stop the virus? You’ll have to watch the movie to find out!

Now let me move on to my opinion of this movie. This one thing that I thought could be better is the design of the characters, because I think Ralph’s hands could be smaller, and Vanellope could be a tiny bit taller. But then the music it would CHANGE AT EVERY SETTING made it sound so real! Thirdly, the acting WAS AWESOME. It was like people in real life. Also when John C Reilly AK Ralph cried in the movie it sounded like someone crying right next to me.

Now I would recommend you to watch

Commander in Chief: Qualities our president should have

By Laylah W.

Americans are about to vote for their next president. This debate could never end, but here is my question. What qualities should our next president have? We need someone that can make good decisions. Someone who wants to make out country better not worse.

Most of our presidents have been great leaders and role models, but others not so much. Presidents have to be brave, they need to say things that are right even if it will make other people upset.

Most presidents think about our future when they make decisions, but shouldn’t they also think about the past? Thinking about the past can help because some former presidents have made mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, but having such a big job you should make as little mistakes as possible. They also need to think about the past to see how far America has come.

Another quality is leadership. The president needs to lead our country to success. Leaders are good decision makers and great role models. We want our president to keep us safe.

It’s not just about the presidents. What about the first ladies? The first ladies have made great contributions to our country just as presidents have.

Our president has control over multiple decisions. One mistake can mess up millions of lives. We have to be able to trust our president in making decisions that can affect our lives.

If you don’t vote, then you do not have the right to complain about your president. If you want to do your part in making the country better, then you should vote.

Our country needs to be stronger. We can make this happen by voting for a great president that has all of the above amazing qualities.

Commander in Chief

By Bette B.

Big opportunities to change your country for the better comes with the 2024 presidential election! There are many candidates in this year’s election, each of them having their own beliefs and special qualities to best lead our country.

Many characteristics go into a great president, such as determination, integrity, optimism, believing in pursuit and sticking

to the original values of our country. One of the past presidents I believe has many of these qualities is Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln was born in Kentucky and later moved to Indiana. Abraham, who was nicknamed Abe, was president during a very difficult time but was still able to remain calm amidst the mass chaos. Because of Lincoln and those like him, America survived the Civil War.

One of Lincoln’s best accomplishments was the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which made slaves within the Confederacy free forever. This was a great example of empathy and showed how he stood up for what he believed in. All of this made Lincoln a great president and we should find another great candidate like him.

Movie Magic: “Percy Jackson Movie”

By Makenna M.

While there’s many great Percy Jackson books and they have a great new series, the movies are horrible. While the actors are quite well chosen for looks and all, the movies barely relate to the actual book. The first of two films made for the books was made in 2010, called “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief”, with a total rating of about 2 stars. The main actors were Logan Lehman as Percy Jackson, Brandon T. Jackson as Grover Underwood and Alexandra Daddario as

Name: School: Grade: Parents: Teacher: Brahmleen Kaur Whiteland Elementary Lulfs Kaur & Singh 4

Annabeth Chase.

While the chosen actors looked like the characters, there are still many flaws.

Here’s my review of the film.

First of all, the AGE! In the book, Percy and Annabeth are 12 and Grover is 24. In the movie, they are all about 16 except Grover who is 28! That’s a 4 year age gap! I think it’s crazy. They are apparently that age because in the next movie, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters”, a prophecy comes true at the age of 20. Second, there are a few inappropriate moments and there is alcohol offered to the kids who are only 16 years old. While at first this seems ok, they are only 16 and the movie is rated at PG.

Lastly, they mixed the scenes up so much I was really confused. Compared to the series and the book, a lot is missing and stuff is really different. One example of this is that Hades accuses them of stealing Zeus’s magic lightning bolt instead of Zeus himself. Another thing is that their ques tis to find the pearls to escape the underworld instead of the master bolt.

That’s my review of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief”. In conclusion, I believe that the books are

better and so is the new TV show. I rate the movie 2 stars.

Movie Magic: “Mrs.

Doubtfire”

By Jocelyn B.

A really good movie I have seen would have to be “Mrs. Doubtfire.” I have watched this movie multiple times, I have really liked it.

In the movie, a man named Daniel tries throwing a big birthday party for his son, but his wife, Miranda, comes home from work early and the house is completely trashed.

She wants a divorce. Daniel and his kids get separated, and he’s only able to see his kids once a week. He obviously want to see his kids more.

His ex-wife has been looking for a nanny to watch the kids. Daniel gets the idea to dress up and disguise himself as an old woman to be the kids’ nanny to get to spend more time with them. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes comedy movies.

Movie Magic: “Wonka”

‘Wonka,’ a movie for dreamers

By Josie L.

“Wonka” is a musical fantasy movie

released to theaters on December, 15, 2023. I remember anxiously waiting for the new movie because the trailer I saw was colorful and unique.

Once released, one fan who saw the movie stated, “It was simply delightful and a magical film.”

After I saw the movie, I decided “Wonka” is my favorite movie for many reasons. One, it teaches an audience to dream big and never stop. Secondly, Wonka’s work ethic allowed an underdog to triumph. My favorite scene from “Wonka” is the ending when Willy has enough money to buy a rundown castle and transform it into a chocolate factory. He made everything seem magical and was able to fulfill his dream of making the world a better place with his chocolate.

Movie Magic: “Taylor Swift: The Eras

Tour”

By Ella W.

I have been to the “Taylor Swift Eras Tour” three times, and I love it more each time. The movie has a lot if details, very good camera angles and beautiful singing.

Taylor Swift put a lot of effort into this movie. I especially enjoyed little details, like her dancers in the “1989” era wearing black and white outfits while Taylor has a colorful dress. This detail stood out during the song “Out of the Woods” because the lyrics say, “… the rest of the world was black and white and we were screaming colors.”

In addition, Taylor’s camera crew was amazing at getting all the angles that would best highlight her and her dancers. With so many fixed camera, flying drones and even cameras swinging on wires, the camera crew made you feel like you were there. There was a perfect balance between her, the dancers, the crowd and the background.

To add to that, Taylor makes sure all her backup performers have a chance to shine. During “Never Getting Back Together,” she has a specific dancer sing the line “like ever.” Another example is in “22” she has a dancer go “Who is Taylor Swift anyway? Eww!”

She sings beautifully and makes sure to have tons of emotion. For example, in the “Folklore” era, she takes a verse of “Illicit Affairs” and makes it feel so powerful. A second example is in her “Speak Now” era she sings a song “Enchanted,” and she makes you want to cry.

Overall, this movie was amazing. I recommend it to everyone, even if you are not the biggest Taylor Swift fan. It is just generally amazing for everyone.

Movie Magic: “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”

Is it worth all the hype?

By Kelsey F.

Do you like Taylor Swift? If you do, then I would consider reading this article.

So I just finished watching the “Taylor Swift Eras Tour” movie, and overall, I loved it! But, every movie could have some things they could work on. So let’s talk about it.

Something I think the “Taylor Swift Eras Tour” movie did a wonderful job on is creativity and imagination. I absolutely loved the creativity with the show itself. Her outfits are all glittery, and the way they filmed it and performed is amazing. It truly was magical.

Another thing is they did an amazing on is the editing and sound. Now, we all love to hear Taylor on the radio, but her voice live is even better. So I am glad that they didn’t use any auto tune for the movie. Also the editing for the looks are very light, so it isn’t up in her face the entire time. All of this give people a real concert experience.

Now, something I think the movie could work on or could have done better is the rates and price. When I watched the movie, I heard some language and cuss words. Now this movie is unrated. I just want to make sure a six year old isn’t hearing bad language while watching the movie.

The price for the movie on Amazon Prime is expensive. Although, I like how the price is $19.89, like her album, it is very expensive for a movie. So I think they could have made the movie cheaper to start with. Also, they should lower the prices for people with less money so others can afford it, too.

Commander in Chief: Presidential traits.

By Emily Woodard

Barack Obama once said, “Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”

Becoming a president is the true test of commitment, patience, determination, leadership and perseverance. These traits are what make up the leaders of our country. Presidents have to be committed to their country and the people in it. Also, presidents have to be patient and

Name: School: Grade: Parents: Teacher: Elora Christman Break-O-Day Elementary Grady Nicole and Spencer White 5

see every side of a story so that they can make the best and most logical decisions. Determination and perseverance are key factors too. Presidents have to not be afraid of failure, but instead use that as a motivation to try again. They need to persevere and be determined to reach their goals. Leadership also plays a big role in a president. A president without leadership is like a clock with no hands. If a clock has no hands it doesn’t work properly, and in the same way a president with poor leadership qualities won’t be able to run a country properly. If a president doesn’t have all of these traits, then they’re probably not right for the role of president. So next time you’re voting for president, consider your options carefully and make the right decision.

If I were president, I would help the homeless. I would help them with building shelters, have donation drives and put donation boxes around Indiana. Another thing I would do, is help with planting more trees for the animals, so if they lost their territory, they have another place to live.

Also, I would clean the trash on the road sidewalks and help people in need, clean up the highways and freeways and clean up downtown. I could help with the animals at the animal shelter, or I could just volunteer there. If I was president, I would do all of those things to help my community, volunteer and help homeless people.

Who should be in charge?

By Amy Woodard

We as a nation, in 2024, are approaching one of the most important days of the quadrennial – the Presidential Election! As voters from all across America cast their votes to elect our new president, there is quite a bit to consider. For example, you have to be sure that your candidate has good moral principles. A president’s principles are their cornerstone, their starting point, everything that comes afterward builds off of it. Just like when building a house, if the cornerstone is weak, the house will fall. If a president doesn’t have exceptional moral principles their nation will decline from the state of superiority that it originated at. Furthermore, intelligence is a key component to an outstanding president. A knowledgeable president can make better, more effective decisions that will benefit our community. Whereas, a president who is lacking intelligence will make poor and inadequate choices.

Although intelligence is crucial, we should not dismiss the importance of optimism. In order to be a superb president, you have to be an optimist in a

pessimistic environment. In the great words of Abraham Lincoln, “We can complain that rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” It’s all about how you choose to see the situation, and you can either see it as optimistic or pessimistic. When you are optimistic, solutions come faster and ideas generate quicker. On the other hand, pessimistic views will only lead you to frustration and anger. Optimism is the light that guides you through the darkness. Without light you will stay in the darkness. In the end, we all need a light to steer us in the right direction, and that light will be our new president.

So as we move closer and closer to Election Day, remember that an exceptional president has good moral principles, intelligent and most importantly, will be the light that will lead this nation to greatness.

Voting for president is a big deal. And I have lots of reasons of how I could make a good president. If I were the president I would be kind, hardworking, and determined. If I were president, I would upgrade buildings and donat my money to people in need, to charity, and to people suffering with illness such as cancer, dementia, and more. If I were president, I would make gas, clothes and food prices go down.

Commander in Chief

By Hudson Cooper

Do you think that I should be president? I do and you should think that too. Here’s why.

Helping people First of all, I would lower gas prices. I would lower gas prices because gas prices are really expensive. Some people can’t afford gas refills. That’s important because if you can’t afford gas then you might be stranded in the middle of nowhere. We need to make sure that does not happen. Also, I would donate lots of money to charity.

I would help the people in need because they don’t have money. If they don’t have money they cant get food and if you don’t have food you can pass away from starvation and thirst.

Helping the environment. First of all, I would make plastic straws illegal. Plastic straws do not help the environment. It is really bad for the earth. And we want a healthy earth. Also, I would hire cleaning people to clean the environment. The people that litter are bad people so if I hire cleaning People to clean the environment would be a lot cleaner. And again we want a healthy earth.

Movie Magic: “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”

By Jackson Kilborn

I recently saw “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and I enjoyed the movie. The movie had many great villians. I think that the different spider-mans could of looked cooler they just look like the same spider-man a peter parker with just some new stuff added to them. The acting was good the music was good to i think the plotline could of been better just so much stuff happened in one time the filming was

great. And i think i would for sure show this to my frends.

Movie Magic: “Hotel Transylvania 2”

By Laylah Andrews

I love movies, but my favorite movie is “Hotel Transylvania 2” because it has appropriate language and is a top 10 movie. Its for all ages and it is perfect for a sleepover.

Movie Magic: “Wall-e”

By Michael Bennett

In my opinion “Wall-e” is the best movie. First of all “Wall-e” is the best movie because he Mission to find a plant. The next he find himself in a ship. Finally Wall-e destroys the robot that is Actually Evil. If you see my movie Magic is over so now I’m now I’m done with all the spelling.

Movie Magic: “Elf”

By Rowan Couch

The other day I watched a movie named “Elf.” It’s based on Christmas. It’s a really funny and good movie to watch with friends or family.

Movie Magic: “Tron”

By Samuel Funkhouser

Movies are great cuz there’s a one movie I love “Tron” because the Tron movie it’s very And that’s how it is good too what You watch Tron if you do not know the movie trying it’s on Disney cuz Disney has all in the movies or something like that would say cuz you can make a good thing and it’s good you made me can watch strong because they’re very very fast in the game and it’s virtual reality he has to go and then he gets over virtual game Feels like a future headset. Feels like a virtual game and you’re actually in it and it’s real life then there’s the thing at the end of the movie. It has to steam at the end and that’s like crazy because it actually makes them go back to the normal world and at the end they motorcycle not liking the game in real life Chris Brown has good stuff in it cuz that’s how it’s just good and they can motorcycle and they can throw his blades and the virtual other one like I want to say die but it is goes into somewhere I don’t know it’s like I just don’t know where it goes and the people who when they get slaughtered. Maybe you can like you can ride in the game fast it’s like Tron. Tron it’s just but it’s the real life but in real life they actually go into the game that and then it’s the trial game like it it’s a it’s a game you could play at a do you know where those games in the car games are and all those games that’s why I’m trying to mean and it has good stuff.

Movie Magic: “Aquaman”

By

Colin Green

Recently I went to the “Aquaman” movie. I thought it was great. Jason Momoa got the main role obviously. But I’m going to give some reasons why you should watch the movie. First I thought it was action packed for anybody who likes action. Next The story lines up with the first “Aquaman” movie. Last It’s an even fight also. There’s all sorts of creatures too. Believe me when I say it was bizarre.

Movie Magic: “Black Adam”

By Elliott Cox

You should watch “Black Adam” because it so cool. I know what your thinking, “The Flash” is cool but believe me or not “Black Adam” is better. Black Adam is a good the Flash is just someone who is super-fast but Black Adam has

lining and speed and storage. He is storage than flash and ask your parent.

And see for yourself Black Adam is one of the best movies on earth Black Adam is the best the movie is so cool and he is one of the store person In his movie Black Adam has a gods gift he thinks it is a crs and rage he sad Because has family got killed he like a good guy and a bad guy but he’s most a good guy.

I know what your thinking, “Batman” is a better movie thin “Black Adam.” No, “Black Adam is a better movie because Black Adam is storage thin Batman besides batman is just smart Black Adam is a god but so would win a fight? It would be Black Adam in the movie he is try to stop a beast.

Movie Magic: “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”

By Helton Fairbairn

This is why you shoud and not see “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” 1 Chris Prats voice sucks. It shoud be Charles Martena. 2 Donkey Kong is in it the voice. Is good 3 and a reference to Mario 64 is in it witch is the electric eel and the blue penguins. 4 The voice for bowser is amazing because it is Jack Black. That is

why you should watch “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.”

Movie Magic: “Trolls”

By Josari Rivas

You might think that “Trolls” if just a movie. But its a movie that is cool and its also and it can teach you something like never give up. Or something else and its cool plus its can make you have family time. And the movie its good but its also good for to teach someone something. If you believe me it would good for a class movie plus it can be good to watch if a

class have a contest then they could see if some got all the lesions done and plus if you need to help a kid to do homework so you say what character trait is poppy or her sister. And they remade the song that was old and made it good

Movie Magic: “The Terminator 2”

By Lucas Baldwin

You should watch “The Terminator 2” because, it might be emotional, cool, futuristic, and good voice, acting acting and places but it’s kind of inappropriate but REALLY good so, that’s why I think you should watch “The Terminator 2.”

Movie Magic” “Puss n’ Boots”

By Madi Doyle

Do you like “Puss n’ Boots” last wish? I went to a theater when it came out. It was awesome!!! But the real question is…. Do you like it? It is awesome, let me tell you why. You’ll be amazed at how awesome it is!

Puss n’ boots last wish is awesome. I watched it multiple times and I loved it. The reasons are endless. It has such good animation. At times it will have bad animation in some scenes. But in most of the scenes it has good animation. Another thing I LOVE is how it shows realism. It shows blood when puss n boots got hit with the sword. Another thing is how AWESOME the character designs look, in all of the movies of puss n boots he looks awesome. And I think it’s so cool that puss n boots had a love life. In some children’s movies they don’t add people having partners because its “inappropriate” somehow. I think “Puss n’ Boots” is a awesome movie all of them, mainly the last wish though! I think you should love it to! Also, the way they put the wolf guy! It was a very cool movie. I loved the name “Pickles” ha-ha! I hope after this you LOVE Puss n’ Boots the last wish! A+ movie, man! It’s good.

Movie Magic: “Barbie”

By Olivia Dixon

The movie I do not think kids should watch around the ages of 0-10 is The Barbie movie because some of the things in the movie kids don’t understand and in the credits there’s a lot of cuss words! Believe me it has a bunch of those cuss words! Now I do recommend it to adults but kids NO NO NO NO NO NO NO kids should not watch that movie so if u have a kid(s) under the age of 10 they should not watch it! Other than that I say it’s an ok movie! But theres things that the creator should of definitely not have added! But heres some things that would make the movie way better like not so many cuss words in the credits and add stuff in the movie that kids would understand!

Movie Magic: “Barbie”

By Rachael Emmert

You should watch the “Barbie” movie because its not so girly girl she goes into the real world because her kid that stoped playing with her so what hapid next was she started to break down lick weird Barbie So she was sent to find her kid but in the real wold after she explored she got so close but to her goel but she got caught and got sent back to the Barbie world and the kens took over the Barbie world but she made it bake to the real and went to get her kid to play with her agen and after that she took bake over Barbie world.

Movie Magic: “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”

By Thomas Danz

Believe me, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” is the bomb of entertainment! It has the action, the drama, and let’s not forget the violence. If you like fight scenes, this movie is the ticket to your dreams. First of all, let’s talk about the action. This movie is just one action scene after another. We got action here, action there, we got action everywhere. We even have some drama queens in there. For example, Aquaman acted like he was going to die when all that happened was he just got stabbed. And for the people that like violence, boy do we got something for you. For example, Black Manta killed a baby! I hope you see why “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” is the BEST I repeat the BEST movie ever!

Movie Magic: “Trolls”

By Vivienne Leonard

You should like the new movie “Trolls.” It’s a go movie you should like. It is a go movie and you should like it.

Commander in Chief: A good president

By Nora J.

Do you ever wonder why presidents Lincoln, Roosevelt and Obama are so famous? You might be thinking “they were famous because they were president”. Honestly you’re wrong, all those presidents were famous because they were all good presidents. I will tell you how all those presidents were good presidents during their time.

When Aberham Lincoln was president during the 1860s. Lincoln did not think that slaves were right or the answer to problems. “I want every man to have a chance and I believe a black man is entitled to do it in which he can better his condition” Lincoln once said. This quote proves that Lincoln did not think that slaves were

alright or were supposed to be allwowed. In 1863 Lincoln freed slaves in ten states but the civil war was still going on. Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg speech. During the civil war almost everyone thought that slaves were alright and that they deserved to to everything but Lincoln wasn’t afraid to say no.

Thedore Roosevelt was a president during the early 1900s. Roosevelt worked very hard to be president. Did you know that he used to be a cattle rancher? Roosevelt changed America. One example for this is that before Roosevelt companies were unfair and companies and CEOs had a lot of power and they could tell the president what to do but Roosevelt changed that. Roosevelt loved nature he turned 125 million acres of land into national parks, he also made sure those parks were kept clean. Roosevelt made a canal across Panama to separate Panama from Colombia. The canal is now called the Panama Canal. Roosevelt also added ships to the U.S Navy.

Barack Obama was president from 2009 to 2017 Obama made an affordable healthcare act. Many people thought it might not work but it helped millions of people get healthcare. Obama also helped during the Iraq war and he also brought many U.S troops back home. Obama was reelected in 2012 He helped slow climate change. He made plans to use clean energy and worked with leaders around the world. Obama was was the first black president in history and he inspired many people.

To conclude, all of the presidents I have listed are a good example of what a good president should do and be. If you want to find more information on what the candidates for president are or other past presidents you can visit Google, and other informative websites, you can also visit your local library. I hope that article has brought to your concern on what qualities a good president should have.

Movie Magic: “The Grinch”

By Callie Byrum

So most of you have seen “The Grinch” but if you haven’t I’m here to rate it and find pros and cons so you don’t! Now in the beginning they have 10\10 but we might see that number change.

(Disclaimer: this is just how I would rate it not trying to copy anyone else’s opinion)

First the cons I’m doing half of one for them. So they do a long introduction -0.5, 9.5 now. The rhymes get annoying after awhile -0.5, now 9, the ending is like the same as every single other movie where it ends with a happy ending. I think there should be a twist for once -0.5, 8.5. The repeat of character designs in the background -0.5, 8 now.

Now for the pros. And I’m going to do

Junior Journal 2024

1 whole for the pros. The funny moments +1, 9 now. The story line through out the movie +1, 10 now. The grinch in general +1, 11 now. And the last thing I think is my favorite is the intake on animals you might think “but callie there are some movies with animals so why this” well I think animals cause how important max the dog part has in the movie and also fred the reindeer in the about middle part +1, 12/10!

There are many other things that are good about the movie so I think overall the grinch is... 12/10 it’s a great movie. Would recommend [especially children]. Now if someone comes up to you and they don’t know what to watch you can recommend the grinch and prove why! See ya in another essay!

“Hilda and the Mountain King”

By Felevia H.

Have you ever heard of the Movie “Hilda and the Mountain King”? Well, if you haven’t you should watch it. The movie starts off with Hilda waking up and finding out that she’s in the troll cave that she and her mother went in the other day. She finds an adult troll in the same room that she’s in. Then Hilda gets confused, where was her mother? Hilda gets up and finds out that it’s the troll that she met the other day with her mom. After that, she questioned herself, “how did I get here?!”

Usually the trolls didn’t talk but this time she could hear the troll talk! She ran as fast as she could so she could get away from that cave and the trolls. But the troll chased her everywhere. Then Hilda said “Now you can talk? How come you never talked to humans before, then?” The troll said “I could always talk but, now that you are a troll you can understand me.”

Then the story keeps going on and on. I love this movie and everything in the movie, especially at the end when the trolls all reunite with the humans after “war” for many years. Also in the movie, some trolls wanted to come to the city and destroy it, all just because they wanted to reunite with their mother who took care of them for hundreds and thousands of years. But the only reason why they wanted to reunite with their mother was because a city called Trollberg was built on top of her. She didn’t want to disturb the people so she fell asleep for many, many, many, years.

I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone. The movie is just so magical and it has one of the cutest moments too!

For example, When Hilda’s mother found a baby troll that belonged to the adult troll in Hilda’s bed, Hilda’s mother decided to take care of the baby troll.

Throughout the day Hilda’s mother searched and searched for Hilda until she got tired and went home. The baby

troll was running around the room and dropped a gift that Hilda had given to her mother. Hilda’s mother got mad so she screamed at the baby troll. Then the baby troll started crying. Hilda’s mother regretted doing that so she hugged the baby troll.

Overall I loved the movie, the animation was perfect and was on point. The voice actors also did an amazing job. The characters they voiced in the movie, fit them perfectly. The music they used for the movie was so good! It fit every scene. You should watch this movie with your family and friends, I’m sure they’ll love it like I did. I love “Hilda and the Mountain King.” Go watch it right now on Netflix!

I think the personality and traits of a

more people listen). He/she can quiet down the crowd listening to them. I think if the president listens to us they will have a better understanding of the community. If they have a better understanding of us they can make the community better. With all of the traits and personalities they will lead our country better and make it a better place.

In 2024 the Americans will vote for a new president. Presidents should not cheat in the votes. Because in 2020 we voted and Joe Biden won but he shouldn’t this year. I hope no one cheats because it

cigarettes. People would try to kill me because I banned beer . And I also made children go to jail if they bullied someone. If someone does a crime they get 5 years jail. if someone kills 1 person they die!!!!!!!!. I change the rules I like. If someone bullies people, the police take him to jail for one day.

By Khaleesi Barnes

A president should be worthy and sacrifice things for their country and they always need to know what is happening like too many trees getting cut down. You need to fix that. Stop cutting down hundreds of trees a week. You need to realize what is happening like there are riots. If there are we need to stop that. We need and deserve a good president like a grocery store. A can of beans is almost five dollars. We need to lower prices.

Today I’m going to talk about a movie and review it. The movie I’m going to talk about is “Spider-Man into the spider verse”. First I will talk about what I liked about it. What I liked about the movie was that someone else replaced the old Spider man because the old Spider man died from a fight and the new Spider man defeated the person who killed Spider man which was a man who was trying to bring back his wife. I think that Instead of Spider man dying, he would heal after the battle and fight with the new Spider man. The plot was actually good in my opinion so I would probably recommend this movie to a friend. The bad parts were like when the new Spider man’s uncle died because Spider man’s uncle was actually working for the man who was trying to get his wife back. The reason why the man was trying to get his wife back was because his wife and son caught him and Spiderman fighting so the wife and son went to their car and starting going very fast and died so now he’s doing some kind of blast that makes it so that the man’s wife would come back to life. My favorite part of the movie was the fight between Spiderman and the man who was trying to get his wife back. In the end, Spiderman won and it ended.

The movie Encanto really caught my attention when it was my family’s movie night. After watching the movie I was shocked by how good the movie was. If I could I would rate it as a 10/10 or a five star, because I really liked the end when the main character Maribel put the house back to life with her doorknob which I really liked. I loved the music in the beginning or the introduction song. I loved the melody. The filming or animation was amazing because there were no glitches and no errors. If my friends ask for any good movies I would recommend this movie.

A movie I recently watched was Wonka, here is my review. First, what I liked: I liked that one part where Willy Wonka told Mr. Slugworth that the chocolate he ate was a candy that made you fly (I don’t know the name) and then Mr. Slugworth flew into space; but my favorite part was when the Oompa Loompa drained the chocolate in the “Death by chocolate” room. The music was cool, but the actors for Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompa did an AMAZING job acting. I would recommend this to my friends because of the amazing acting, good music, and most importantly, intense parts.

The movie I recently saw is Five Nights at Freddy’s. It is a Really good movie. The reason I like the movie is because it has all the original animatronics. Foxy, Chica, Bonnie and the main guy Freddy it could be better like it could have Marinette and the nightmares animatronics like Nightmare Foxy, Nightmare Chica, Nightmare Bonnie, Nightmare Freddy, And if it had Marinette nightmare Marinette it could be more realistic. I would recommend this for my friends because It’s fun. It’s cool It’s not that scary. It’s just an overall good movie.

The movie I have recently watched was Trolls World Tour. The movie was great. I really liked the part where Poppy made a card for Barb with glitter and made Barb’s pet all sparkly and when Barb opened the card she got really mad cause sparkle got on her face. It was the funniest part in the movie. It was really funny I kept repeating it. They should have made the part when Branch turned into a rock zombie a little better. I would have loved it if it was a little more dramatic cause I like dramatic movies. The acting was really good. They

put like emotions that I could feel if I was in the movie myself. The music was the best, they made it so good they put every kind of song in the movie it is amazing. The plotline is really good. They put everything in order which made the movie better.

Hey, can I tell you a movie that I would recommend? It has a book series and the books are as funny as the movie and this is a perfect kid’s movie. It is called Captain Underpants, the first epic movie. You may be asking why do I recommend this movie. It is because if you love comedy you will love this movie and it has people laughing out of their seats. It is a PG movie but you can watch it at your house now! And this is a very good kid’s movie for 9-10-year-old’s. When you first watch this movie and the things that would be better in the movie is the End Scene. I wish it would have more time for the ending. And IF I MADE the movie I would make a second movie for the people that want a second movie. may can I talk about the book series? The book series is like the movie. It will make you laugh once you are reading the book. There are 1-12 books and IN all of the books you get to do something called flip-o-rama. It is where one page looks the same but it is not and the first page is normal but the second page is different. And the author of the books has a new series that he made. It is called dog man. He is making a movie about dog man. It has 1-11 books in the series. A new book is coming out on March 19, 2024 the 12th book is coming out and people are waiting for the 12th book. The Captain Underpants movie came out on june-2-2017. But some people said it came out on september-22-2017. But the people that think it came out on september-22-2017.

Once I walked into the movie theater to see a new movie that just came out! The title was Migration! It was a new children’s movie that came out and I was pumped! Me and my family walked in the room with the big screen and commercials were flashing like crazy I tell you! Oh my goodness finally they were over and it was starting! “Migration” it said real loud. Then I saw a bunch of ducks and, there was a pond, plus trees on the screen background! Right then and there the main duck family was introduced by the kids playing, and the parents talking and such! The little daughter’s name was Gwen, and the brother’s name was Dax. The adults were Pam the mom, Mack the dad, and Uncle Dan. I have to tell you Uncle Dan

was a bit out of shape like a psycho kinda! So far the movie was good and pretty funny! My cousin and I were absolutely cracking up! Plus there was this mean old chef with a big fat nose! It was like the size of a full size carrot I tell you, kinda like Gru from the minions to! Basically the chef was trying to capture all of the ducks and cook them for his fancy salsa restaurant. I definitely recommend this movie 100%! Basically the family were trying to migrate because the son Dax called the parents uncool, because Mack the dad was scared to migrate because he never been to any place other than his home!! Like WHAT! Plus one of my favorite parts of the movie was when they had no place to stay because it was raining when they were lost, So then this old weird stork offered them a place to stay, but the family thought they were going to eat them alive! It was funny because in the middle of the night the parents were scared and wanted to leave so they tried but then ... the stork tried to eat them! Just kidding! They thought the storks were going to eat the duck family. But in the end they finally made it to their destination with some friends that tagged along plus they cuddled with the storks! It was such an

awesome movie, I definitely recommend it ! Go watch it now! I mean it!

Commander in Chief

By Kanwardeep Singh Sandhu

Have you ever been or ever wanted to be the president of any kind of country? Well I would if I got the chance in most likely India or America. Today I will be telling you about what I would do, change laws and help people out.

What I would do is first celebrate being president. I would also bring my family from India and Australia to come. It would make me so happy to see them here having fun with my family. I will also give speeches about different kinds of things. For example, giving speeches about why we should respect our soldiers when they pass away. I would also give speeches about racism. Like there are people who disrespect people that are black or white. I would make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone ever.

My second reason for what I would do if I was president is to change some laws.

One law I would love to change is airport transportation. When I go to the airport usually when I go there is too much stuff of security at the airport. I would like to change how they do that. There are too many steps of security. For example take all your belongings off, take metal things off, this makes no sense. Yes I understand that there shouldn’t be people that should have weapons and other bad things. But it should be where some people should even miss their whole flight because of this annoying stuff.

My last reason why I would be president is to help people in need of supplies. For example the homeless don’t get enough food, drinks, clothes and many other things. Like one time I was downtown and there were a lot of people that were on the ground sleeping. This made me very, very sad about this situation. I felt like crying because of this. I thought that people do not even care about helping them. I was thinking about becoming president and helping these people out. I wish I could give food, drinks, blankets and many other things.

This is why I think I should be president. I think I will help the world out a lot if I could. I think people should deserve more

and live happy, happy lives if I was president. Would you also help people when you would be president? Do you agree with my statement?

Commander in Chief

By Molly Lorraine McDonald

Today I will be talking to you about what traits a president should have.

One trait that a president should have is calm. I think that a president should be calm because if you have a crazy president they can be very rude. Like they could get mad when you don’t listen to them, hurt you. Also if they have anger issues then they could throw things around and break things. If you have a calm president they will not take things seriously, they will not be mean to you, and will treat you equally between other people and you. They will also give you the calmness when you need it.

Another trait for a president to have is caring if you have a caring president they will care for the poor, and give them food, help old people around, and stand up for people. They will also stand up for rights or one person’s right. If you don’t have a caring president then they will probably be taking things from people, ignore people

in need of help, and won’t help old people around.

One more trait that I think that a president should have the most is accepting. I think that it is the biggest trait for them to have or if you forget a president to have because if a president isn’t accepting then they could judge people and you for maybe your skin color, your hair color, if you’re tan, and it is just cruel. If you have an accepting president then they will tell you you’re as beautiful as say the ocean, sky, or night sky. Another thing they would do is tell you that you should be you and just be yourself.

So that’s the traits that I think a president should have.

John F Kennedy was one of the best presidents ever. John was born may 19 in 1917. Kennedy was the 35th president and the youngest. Mr. Kennedy talked to martin Luther king jr himself. Which helped solve civil rights. John went to Harvard which is one of the hardest schools in the world to get in. He got married to a woman named Jacqueline Bouvier. Sadly he got assassinated by a gun called m38 6.5 carcano with a 4x Hollywood scope at the time of 1:30.

One day when I turn 18 I will vote for president but I have no idea if I will be president! I also have 8 years till I can vote. There is a 50% 50% chance of even being a president. I really hope I am one because when I’m president I will change almost everything! Like I would change the law to never hit a girl if that is a law then yay because boys should not be hitting girls but only if it is your brother, and dad. I also have a dream to stop kidnappings. If someone did then I would send a police car out to get the person or if they are abusing them. But at the grocery store the prices are so so expensive but what I would do is lower them. I would give a small businesses a chance to shine and pop up! I also would have some businesses lower their prices. I know being a president is a lot of hard work but I think I can handle it. That is what I would do if I was president!

Commander in Chief: President Abraham Lincoln

By Damian Feldman

The sixteenth president of the United States was Abraham Lincoln. He helped end slavery during the civil war. During the civil war there was a battle between the north and south states. The south wanted to encourage slavery while the north wanted to end slavery. Abraham Lincoln

wanted the north to win. Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes at a play when John snuck into his booth and shot him in the head. After Abraham Lincoln died one of his assistant presidents then became president. Abraham lived in Illinois and later moved to Indiana when he was little.

If I were president, I would first make a new event called free hour. This event will make anything free for 1 hour every year. And more events like stuff day where we give free stuff like electronics clothing furniture and more. I’m also gonna change the flag so it shows me saying “me cool.” Also I’m gonna make it so jobs give double the money but also gain 3 times more money from me. There’s gonna be another event named free money where you get 15,000 dollars for free.

If I were a president, I would have laws but not too many laws. One of the laws would be no littering or else you might end up in jail. Another law is to be nice to everyone around you. Also do not hit anyone. That means keep your hands to yourself. That is basically all the laws I would have if I were president. I told you that I won’t have too many laws. Some of those laws are one of my dreams one day to have. Because I do not think that anyone will want trash everywhere because that is gross. I also do not think people would want hands to be on them. If I were president that is all that I would have.

Commander in Chief

By Liberty Robb

If I were president, I would be kind to everyone. All of the illegal things would be the same. Maybe even more than that. Gass Will be 90 cents a gallon. I will make more pools in ideanna. I will make more Police stations so people in the country will have more police stations. Those are just some reasons what I would do if I was president.

Commander in Chief

By Celia Golbov

Did you know that Americans have had more than 26 presidents so far? Today, I’m writing about what I think a president should act like, think like and do. The reason we have a president is to keep things in order. But, in order to keep things in order the presidents have to be a good leader. For example, President Lincon was a good leader. So, my question is why is the other presidents not use him as a role model?

My second reason is they should think

Name:

School: Grade: Parents: Teacher: Eden Weber Custer Baker Intermediate School Baylis Jennifer Weber 6

together and think adout other people. There are lots of ideas the president should think about and how they could help the United States. The president should listen.

My last reason is that they should act like they are president. They should come out to the world more. Vist some more towns. Meet more people and relax when they can. That is all I have to write. But, think about this what would you do if you were president?

Movie Magic: “Migration”

By Gabe Blane

Have you seen the new movie “Migration”? I love the movie, it was so funny and today I’m going to tell you all about it.

This movie was so funny and cool I loved this one line that goes pleeeeeeeeeease pretty please it so so funny how this was said it was said by the youngest child. One thing that I think can be fixed is that it can state in the movie her name but I still think that people should watch this movie. Another thing I like about it is how they pay so much attention to people in the story that aren’t the main characters. And just people that you see once in the whole movie like at the start it pays attention to the ducks that you only see once. And it lets me see how it would feel like to be them.

Another reason that I love this movie is because it makes the villain of the movie so detailed like face tattoos and leg tattoos. I think it just makes him look more menacing and more dangerous. And I loved the acting of the story and how the villain acting makes it look like he wants to kill them. And how it really described the plot of everywhere they were. It was a really nice movie and I really recommend this movie.

Today I talked about the movie “Migration” and how I recommend this movie. I hope you enjoyed this passage.

Movie Magic: “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.”

By Nash Wisler

A movie I really enjoyed is “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.” Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Is a film that was released in 2010. The film is based around Greek Mythology about a man named Percy Jackson, son of Poseiden who had to return Zeus’s lighting bolt that he stole, but it turns out he didn’t steal it. I won’t spoil the movie for you, but trust me, it’s a good movie. It has wonderful visuals, and good acting.

Movie Magic: “Elemental”

By Nimrat Kaur Maan

I choose movie magic because I love to watch the movie “Elemental.” I have watched the movie “Elemental” so many

Junior Journal 2024

times I can’t stop watching it. What I like about the movie is that it has my favorite element, fire. I love the fire element because in Elemetal tycoon the fire ability is insane. And at the end of the movie I love the music because there are people singing and so many instruments playing. And at the end of the movie the singing is so calm.

Have you watched the movie “Elemental”? I would recommend this movie to a friend because the movie is so good. And I like the character Ember because her shop is going to shut down and she is trying so hard that their shop won’t shut down. She blocks the water from getting into the town by using her glass making powers. And at the end Wade the water person, And Ember the fire person, both go to different place somewhere which I don’t know because I will have find out in Elemental 2. This movie could have been better if Ember and Wade would have not argued because I hate it when people argue. And those are the reasons why I picked Movie magic.

Movie Magic: “Migration”

By Myla Seay

A movie I have seen recently is “Migration.” “Migration” was a really good movie. It was about a duck family with a mom, dad, sister, brother, and a grandpa duck. The movie was really cute. The movie was also sad at some parts, but I feel like it was a really cute and good movie. There were a lot of other birds they met and they were all different.

What I liked about this movie is that it was technically teaching kids about different animals. I do think they could have made it better by making it less sad because the movie almost left me crying. They did really well with the acting and there was amazing music in the movie because I loved the end music because it was very joyful. The movie was really funny and I really liked that it was funny because funny stuff makes you laugh and I like laughing. The ducks were also really cute and at the end of the movie the dad duck cracked me up. Well, that’s the end of my review, I hope it was a good report and now that you understand that I really like this movie.

Movie Magic: “Wonka”

By Amelia Dalton

Have you seen a new movie? I have the new Willy Wonka movie. I love it and I’m gonna tell you why I like it and who I would recommend it to.

My first reason why I love the new Willy Wonka movie is because the actors like the one for Willy, who is a really awesome Timothy Chalamet. Even though he was the main character. I really liked the Oompa Loompa. He was really funny

doing the dance. Another reason why is because the scene like the town, the factory, even how they did the fire. It was awesome even spending that with my cousin.

The movie was about Willy and how he grew up and where he lived when he was younger. Later in the movie we learn about his dream about selling chocolate and that his mom died and he wanted to fulfill his mom’s dream of selling chocolate together.

Also that he finally fulfill his dream but it all burned down. We also learned that an Oompa Loompa came in the movie. And that’s a quick summary about the movie.

I would recommend this to my friend Emma because she dressed up like an Oompa Loompa. I would also recommend this to my friend Kendra. And that’s why I love the new Willy Wonka movie. I told you why and who I would recommend this movie to.

Movie Magic: “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”

By Jameson Morrow

The Mario movie is a great movie. It has everything a good movie needs like a lot of action. It has three main characters

and those are Peach, Toad and the most popular character of them all Mario. Mario has made his way from Mario 64 to Super Mario odyssey to a movie about him. Mario is one of the most popular characters of nintendo. Let’s get back to the movie. Now we will talk about Mario’s other ally Donkey Kong. He is a gint gorilla. I would recommend this to a friend or a family member.

Movie Magic: “Red Notice”

By Ethan Riddle

I watched a movie called “Red Notice.” It was about crime and trying to get a golden egg. You had to find three golden eggs to get money. My favorite actor, The Rock, plays in this movie. He is the main character.

Have you ever wanted to be president because I have so I wrote this passage with reasons for if I were the president and what I would do. This will mention the

Name:

School:

Grade:

Parents: Teacher: Liliann Thompson Custer Baker Intermediate School Mrs.Graham Rachael Thompson 6

laws I would make for the motorcade and the houses. This is what I would do as president.

If I were president, I would cancel kindergarten and make seven or older children go to first grade. Plus I would make a law in your first year of high school you’ll get your driver’s license. I would also have people go give homeless people food and clothes and stuff to survive.

Then I would go around town in my motorcade and pick up my family and they would be safe because I have the secret service on my side. I would make my secret service bring me to McDonald’s and a motorcade and even my house. I would live in a secret house near the Hollywood sign. I would make the secret service pick up my family in a motorcade so they will be safe and the vice president’s family. Family would love the limo I the Beast. The Beast would have multiple drinks, food and guards. There would be eight cars in front of me and 80 cars behind me. I would be the 9th car they have another Beast to disguise me. They would never know which one I was in. I would also have an ambulance in the motorcade. The ambulance would be my doctor and other

nurses if I get hurt during the motorcade. During the motorcade I would have a walkie-talkie to communicate to other vehicles.

I want to have fun with my family and be safe. The parties would be at the safe house and birthdays because I can’t leave my house without a motorcade. My house would have a bunch of couches and rooms.

My family would have guards at their house and fun at their house but my guards would keep them safe from anyone trying to hold them hostage to get information from me. I would have a safe house for all my family. That would be in a bunker with millions and millions of bodyguards everybody so much fun down there we would play with everyone and talk.

My family would be safe and have fun at the same time. The bodyguards would have nothing to do with us; they would just protect us. It would be so much fun they just would not bother us when we are having fun sometimes they would have fun with us too.

Many people were great presidents like George Washington. Many books, movies, stories and more were inspired by great presidents. They set boundaries and rules that Americans follow to stay safe.

Many different presidents have many different traits. Everyone has traits like brave, kind, generous, loving and so much more. Traits are more than just something people can see in you but can make different feelings and thoughts in who you are. For presidents it can be something that impacts thousands of people that follow your rules. Others may think it is just something all can see.

Every American will have a chance to vote for a new president. All Americans don’t have to vote but can. If they chose to vote they need to go to a curtain place to vote in privat. After they go to a curtain place they get in line to vote. This happens every 4 years. Many people’s names will be out and on a paper all in line will have the vote. Days later the new president will be announced on the television.

If you were president what would you do? If I were president I would fix the costs of food and clothes. It is important to stay safe in a liveable house and have medical care. I would also make speeches about getting more schools and making places where trash and rubbish can go. More trees and wildlife equals clean air and plenty of food.

There were many good presidents that made America a strong state. For a new president many Americans will vote and a new president will be up for bat.

Commander in Chief

By Caroline Golbov

Have you ever seen your morn or dad wearing a sticker that says I’ve voted? Well, that is because they have voted for the next President of the United States of America. I am going to tell you what I would do if I were president.

If I were president, I would be a benevolent leader for our country. I would also be a kind, merciful and patient leader. I would also be careful and decisive about what I do.

You might be wondering what about in war? In war, I would go straight to the military defense bilding and stand as commander in chief. As commander in chief I would listen to my advisors and military experts.

Finally, let’s talk about bills, and laws. As president of the USA I have to veto or approve bills so they can manifest laws. If I think that a law or bill is wrong I can reject it and not sign it.

Being president is important. You have to be prepared for anything. You have to know how to protect your country and lead it well.

Commander in Chief: A president we need.

By Austan Williams

This year we are voting for our next president. Americans need to know that the qualities and personality traits a good president should possess which are: Kind, energetic, smart, helpful, loveable, and not a bystander but an upstander. What America needs is an independent president. A president that will care for us and help us at times we need it. A president that won’t stop fighting for America. The president we need needs to be a fighter, a public speaker, someone that won’t give up on us. A president that hopefully will stop China so that they don’t go to war with us. A president that won’t make a pack of m&m’s 10 bucks. Or a Dr. pepper for 30 bucks. Also a president that hopefully doesn’t make gas like 50 bucks a gallon. That’s just a couple reasons why we need a good president.

Commander in Chief

By Nala Hoadley

If I were the president I would be kind and give equal rights. I would try to bring peace to the world so there would be no more wars. As president, there would be no poverty or hunger.

As president, all kids around the world that can’t afford to go to school can go to school. Those are all the things I would do if I were the president. What would you do if you were president?

Movie magic: “The Hill”

By Jameson Barnes

Parts I liked about the movie:

One night I watched a movie called “The Hill” and it was about this little boy who had ankle bracelets and he dreamed about playing in the MLB. But his dad said you will not be able to play baseball. But he was determined to play baseball. So he played baseball with a stick and a rock. Fun fact: he spent sixteen hours playing baseball with a stick outside. He never gave up and he played highschool baseball. He was able to go to highschool baseball because one night he was able to move his legs so he took his ankle bracelets off. But in one of his games he was trying to catch a ball and he tripped on a sprinkler pipe and broke his foot. And he had triple a tryouts in 7 weeks so one night he took his foot cast off so he could go to the triple a tryout next week.

How was the acting, the music, the plotline and the filming:

I think that the acting was really realistic because when he tripped over the sprinkler pipe it looked like he was actually really hurt. The music was good. It described the movie really well because it was really old music and the movie was an old time movie because it had old time

School: Grade: Parents: Teacher: Kynlee Kunkel Custer Baker Intermediate School Craft Sharae Roosa

clothes and old time cars. The plotline was really good because it shows how he never gives up even though he has something wrong with him. But the filming was really good. You could tell that it took a long time to make the movie because they put a lot of hard effort into the movie.

Would you recommend this to your friends?

I would recommend this movie to my friends because lt shows never ever give up if you have something wrong with you. Or you want to prove somebody wrong about yourself. It also shows that you have to believe in yourself. So you never give up on whatever your dream is.

Movie Magic: “The Descendants”

By Aurora Steele

“The Descendants” movies are one of my favorite movies and I am going to tell you why. I think it’s a five-star movie because of all the magic, drama, and evil. Evie is my favorite character because from the beginning she was an auradon girl. Even though she was from the isle, she was already half au radon. My favorite song that Evie or Sophia Carson sings is ‘one kiss’. That song is my favorite because it shows how much she loves Dough, and I love how she’s dancing in the place where he sleeps. Dough is the son of it does not transfer her into a different place in the middle of the song. I liked how they did not just focus on one character but switched to different ones throughout the movies.

The main group in the movies are Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay. Mal’s parents are maleficent and hades. Evie’s parents are the evil queen and nobody knows her father. Carlos’s parents are cruella de vii and nobody knows his father. Jay’s parents are Jafar and nobody knows his mother. If you have not watched descendants please do. This is my review of descendants.

Movie Magic: “Harry Potter”

By Sophia Powell

“Harry Potter” is the most creative movie. Everything in the Movie it look real. Harry potter is the Main character in the movie Harry potter is a Teenage boy and he’s beginning to Learn how to Be a wizard. Harry Potter does have friends at Hogwarts their Names are Hermione and Ron. Harry Potter and his friends are Adventurous Harry potter and his friends all have one pet Hermione has a cat Named Crookshanks Harry potter has a pet Owl Named Hedwig Ron has a pet frog. People Should Love Harry Potter Because It is Very Adventurous. The creators that make this movie are very Creative people.

Movie Magic: “Mean Girls”

By Brooklynn Nelson

Junior Journal 2024

If I had to choose a movie to watch for the rest of my life. I would choose “Mean Girls.” When I first started watching “Mean Girls” I was amazed. I was loving all of the drama and the characters’ differences, and the way they acted. I also loved the way they had all the different traits. My favorite character is Karan. She has a trait of stupidity which to me makes her a fun character. And Rigena is a big bully in my eyes. For the whole movie she is a rude drama queen who loves sarcasm. Another character is Gretchen. Gretchen is a girl who will talk behind your back. When she promised not to tell, and she is a follower. If you have not watched “Mean Girls” I would highly recommend this movie.

Movie Magic: “The Transformers”

By Carter Frith

In Transformers the rest of the beasts I heard. That the Transformers were getting destroyed by their planet because of an evil Transformer. Was trying to take over. The evil Transformer had another Trans former, the really bad Transforme. He was known as the god of Transformers. He was trying to destroy every planet. To feed himself and during that process he really needed to get. The Earth in his body because if he didn’t do that the bad guys would win. So the good Transformers. I had to get his team together and his team primals team had to destroy the god because if they didn’t all the planets would be devoured. They had to get the Transport key by humans but then the bad Transformers the transwarp key and then after they got the transcript key they had to open the portal and then primal had to destroy The transcript.

Movie Magic: “The Bee Movie”

By Rylee Holloway

Today I’m going to tell you about my favorite movie which is “The Bee Movie.” First, “The Bee Movie” is kind of about bees, but when you get more into the movie you’ll say this movie is great. Next, is technically learning about bees be cause you guys are probably like what do bees do and what are exactly bees and it can explain a lot. Then, movie is really cool. My favorite part about the movie is where the bee goes on a little fun ride with all the other bees. The weather bees are the bees that collect honey.

Finally, acting was pretty cool and one thing I thought was funny was weird one of the bees told the other bee if they went to this guy’s funeral. That is my favorite part and he said no to that I would probably say no also. Now you know my favorite movie and all about it. Hopefully you watch it and say this is a great movie and make sure you write about it.

Movie Magic: “Luca”

By Rayland Robert Richards

Movies are great like Luca. Some people believe in sea beasts but I know a secret. The megalodon is still alive but it is only found in very deep water. Like the squid that’s in very deep water. That could crush a submarine but the Meg is even deeper. That’s why people think it’s dead. Now back to Luca in this movie. Luca finds a friend that lives out of water.

World” and Jurassic Park are two different movies, but they’re both run by the same person that owns Jurassic but made the first Jurassic Park.

“Jurassic World” is better because it can have more detail and you see a lot more dinosaurs than Jurassic Park. Some people don’t like dinosaurs, but if they watch Jurassic World they might like them.

Movie Magic: “Strange World”

their city is on the back of a living thing. The movie is also good because when they’re playing cards the adults think you have to kill the monster but no you’re supposed to build a civilization around it. I would recommend it to your friends.

How they make it:

They make the movie by creating a software so they can make the plants move in and out. I don’t know what it is called but it was hard for them to make it. If you look at Chicken Little and then strange world you will see what I mean.

The end.

Well liked talking to you about the Disney movie “Strange World.” Like how they make it. Well will see you next time goodbye

Movie Magic: “Percy Jackson: The Lightning Bolt Thief”

By

William Steele

I’m going to write about my favorite movie, “Percy Jackson: The Lightning Bolt Thief.” Percy Jackson is about Greek mythology. And Percy Jackson has a lot of Greek mythology because it has gods and demigods and so much more. It is a very funny movie. It is two hours long. And if you don’t know your Greek mythology

then watching Percy Jackson will help. And Percy Jackson is Posiden’s son. You can watch Percy Jackson on prime video. There is Zeus Poseidon, Athena, Hades, Percy Jackson, Athena’s daughter and a guy named Grover. And so much more but those are the main characters.

What happens in the movie? This is what happens in the movie: this is how it starts. Posiden comes out of the water and turns into a mortal. He is going to talk to Zeus and when he gets up to Zeus they talk about the clouds and how they have no lightning “stolen” Zeus said then Posiden says “Brother you think I did this you know we are forbidden to steal the thunderbolt. Then Zeus says “but our children aren’t. “Are you accusing my son? I haven’t seen him since he was a baby because of you” Poseidon says. And then Zeus says “if I don’t Get my thunderbolt in fourteen days there will be war. Then it goes on and on. I don’t want to spoil it for you. You will have to watch the movie yourself. It is very good.

the “Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie.” The movie is about a run-down pizza place with animal animatronics that come alive at night and there is a guy that works the night shift. But the animatronics (Freddy, Chica, Bonnie and Foxy) are becoming really aggressive to the night shift Gosh) brings his daughter (sweetie) that is 6 but the animatronics are nice to her. She will soon find out that she might not be so safe after all.

You think they are the only humans there? Well you are wrong! There is already another human there (william afton) but he is in a highly unsafe suit of a sort of a unnerving humanoid bunny (he got it from freddy’s parts and services room in the movie) he commits crimes in the suit (but only in the pizzaria) so they don’t know the criminal is william afton committing the crimes such as murder. We will talk about him later (something happens to him.)

Josh comes in close encounters with the animatronics that will scare you. But sweetie is scared out of her little 6 year old mind when she finds out freddy wants to put her in a suit. Now back to william afton remember when I said” he is in a highly unsafe suit of a bunny” towards the end of the movie the springlocks of the suit malfunction. The spring locks go around his body and william afton gets trapped in the bunny suit. The acting was the best it made the robots and the terror feel real. The music made me jump out of my seat. I would recommend this to my friends as a thriller/horror kind of movie.

Movie Magic: “Percy Jackson: The Lightning Bolt Thief”

By Cannon Mowdy

My review of my movie is Percy Jackson. I like how Percy Jackson has the Greek gods. It has Hades Zeus Poseidon and Athena. Percy Jackson is Poseidon’s son. My favorite part is when they went to Hades’ home. My favorite Percy Jackson is the 2nd one. My favorite part of the 2nd Percy Jackson is when they fight the titan. And there’s a cyclops in the 2nd one. It also has a Mythical swimming Unicorn. It also has a monster with a Giant Scorpion tail. It also has a giant cyclone with teeth. And the thunder thief was Percy Jacksons’s master. That’s why my movie review is Percy Jackson.

Movie Magic: “Encanto”

By Rosie Them

Have you ever seen the movie “Encanto”? In my opinion I think that this movie represents bravery, caring, and family. “Encanto” is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Some of my favorite characters in the movie are Mirabel, Luisa, Dolores, and Isabela. Encanto’s main character in the movie is Mirabel,

Mirabel is brave in the movie because she survived when the house broke down into pieces. In my opinion I think Bruno is the most interesting character of all in the movie. I think this because Bruno hides in the walls. Personally, the movie is great, so I don’t have anything to change about it.

The plotline of the movie was when the house broke into pieces. There were many different songs in the movie, and one was called “we don’t talk about Bruno”. The song starts by saying “we don’t talk about bruno no, no, no we don’t talk about Bruno”. That song was one of my all time favorites. The actress of Mirabel was Stephanie Beatriz. She is one of my favorite actresses! Also the actress of Luisa was Jessica Darrow! Luisa was one of my favorite characters. She was known as a very strong and brave girl in the movie. She could carry huge rocks, bricks, and etc.

There are many characters that I can list but the last one is ... Diane Guerreo! Diane was the actress of Isabela. In the movie Isabela represented flowers, because she could make flowers with her bare hands! She also had long beautiful hair. In my opinion the movie was great. I would recommend sharing this movie to family, friends, etc.

If you have never watched “Encanto” before you should watch it. If you did not like Encanto I hope I changed your opinion!

Movie Magic: “Trolls”

By Norah Vogl

I have seen the Dreamworks’ movie “Trolls” which came out in 2016, the acting, music, plotline and filming in the movie was 100% fun. I like about the movie because the movie is about a pink happy troll named poppy who likes to sing, dance, hug and a grumpy gray troll named branch who hates parties, the two trolls send off on a adventure to bergen town to save their friends, that have bridget and prince gristle jr.

The villain in the movie is named chef. During the beginning scene of the movie where young prince gristle jr was riding on his trike when his dad (King gristle sr) was sleeping, young prince gristle jr rode his trike on the alligator when he enters king gristle sr’s room, (P.S. That was so hilarious.) Poppy’s dad is named King Peppy. In the chase scene in Trolls, he said “NO TROLL LEFT BEHIND!” the movie was full of adventure and songs. It was so much fun.

Movie Magic: “Wonka”

By Dorien Woods

My favorite movie is the “Wonka” movie. Once upon a time there was a man and he was selling chocolate and not just any type of chocolate. He sells Karma

chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and flying chocolate. Dark chocolate can make you become invisible. If you eat the white chocolate, you can become very bright and even can fly but if you eat the flying chocolate then it will put Motors in your stomach and start making you fly.

He’s trying to start a chocolate factory company, so he can start selling chocolates but when he goes to chocolate town they make him pay for everything but he was nice to a homeless woman and he gave her two quarters. Then he goes to a bench and he has a hat full of dreams and he pulls a teapot out of his hat. He pull out his chocolate machine and then a dog comes and start to bark and it scares him but then a man comes and yells at the dog and the man says you are going to be cold and Wonka says that he won’t be cold and then he say that he can give him a room to live in the hotel but when he walks in he is greeted by a girl with yellow teeth and then Noodles the girl that is their mate and then he has to sign a contract that says you have to pay for every night and then Noodles says read the entire contract and when he pull all the way he saw that it was five feet.

And then Noodles and Wanka become best friends when the girl with yellow teeth find Noodles she puts her in a camber that is 50 feet off the ground and the what happens next is crazy when he was signing the contract he got hit in the head and then got hit down a lundrye shot and then when he saw what they where doing he was sad because they were doing laundry so then he got out of there and then Wonka and Noodles where put in a chocolate maker and you might think they drowned in chocolate but they did not they shut it down the machine and then they eat a chocolate and they flouted on the the fountain and they turned it on and the and then Wanka finds his mom and Wanka as not seen his mom. His mom shows him where his dad is and then Wanka finds his dad.

Movie Magic:” Naruto”

By Bronson Quick

Have you ever seen “Naruto”? It’s a really good movie. You should watch it sometime.

“Naruto” is a fighting anime show and the main character is Naruto. Naruto is a VERY popular show with 250 million fans. Naruto is so good I recommend that you watch it. Naruto is also rated PG-14 because of all the violence in the show, so watch it at your own risk. (I don’t think it’s that bad) Naruto helps with combat since the whole show is combat. I really like Naruto but I feel like it would be better if it was a longer series, and maybe longer episodes because each episode is 5-7 mins long.

Naruto would probably be more popular if there was a new one, since the last Naruto was in 2006, like new people and where Naruto gets in a very serious fight, because Naruto barely gets in big/serious fights in the whole movie. But that’s all and maybe someday you will watch “Naruto.”

Commander in Chief: President Andrew Johnson

By Karissa Ramsey

Did you know that Andrew Johnson had a nickname called “The Tennessee Tailor” because he made his own clothes and worked as a tailor as a kid? After researching about President Andrew Johnson I believe there are certain traits that make a President great. Three traits that President Andrew Johnson had that made him a great president was, loyal, kind, and helpful.

One trait that made my president great was that he was loyal. A quote from the article President’s Major Accomplishments can prove this, “Johnson wanted to make sure the states promised to be loyal to the United States again.” This quote proves that Andrew Johnson was loyal to the United States enough to make the other states loyal to the United States, again.

Another trait that made him a great president is that he was kind. The article President’s Major Accomplishments has a quote that can prove this “This was an important step toward making sure that all people, regardless of their race, had the same legal rights in the United States.” This proves he was kind enough to make sure all people, no matter their skin color, had all of the same legal rights in the U.S.

Lastly, another trait that describes him is helpful. Another quote from the article President’s Major Accomplishments proves this by saying, “One of Andrew Johnson’s big accomplishments as the president was dealing with the aftermath of the Civil War.” This proves he was helpful in the Civil War after it ended.

In conclusion, this is why traits that fit Andrew Johnson are loyal, kind, and helpful. Like as loyal, he was loyal to the US. He was kind enough to make sure all skin colors had equal legal rights in the US. Lastly, he was helpful by helping the aftermath of the civil war when it ended.

Commander in Chief: President Franklin D. Roosevelt

By Ambri Hawkins

Did you know that Franklin D. Roosevelt was very helpful, intelligent, and kind hearted. The reason why he was given all of these traits was because he helped a

lot of people with his kind heart and that is how he was given the trait helpful and kind hearted. But, that’s not all he was also given the trait intelligent because he changed people’s life and other things because of his intelligence.

The first trait I am going to explain and talk about is how he was given the trait kind hearted. Now, he was given the trait kind hearted because his new deal policies were meant to help the nation recover economically. How I can explain this is because he was thinking about other people and not just himself. Which is very kind hearted to me and I am sure it is kindhearted to other people too. I know this because in the text it talks about how he always was helping others and he also was still trying to take care of himself. How I can explain this evidence is in the article it was constantly saying that he helped people a lot.

Another trait that he was given was helpful. Some evidence is that he led the country for a long time, and during those years he did a lot to make life better for a bunch of people. How can explain this is he helped keep safe and also helped keep other countries safe too. I chose this quote because the author stated that he always

helped keep America safe and helped keep other states and countries safe too. This shows that he helped not just a couple of people but states and countries full of people.

Lastly, his last trait he was given was intelligent. The reason why he was given the trait intelligent was because he created social security as a special program that provides money to retirees to help them live comfortably. How I can explain this is that he was intelligent to think about those people who are less fortunate than others. Also to even think about making that type of program that probably helped millions of people. I know this because in articles and texts that people read it usually always mentions the ways he is intelligent. But this is only one way of how he is intelligent. This evidence explains that with his intelligence he changed and helped a bunch of people which is amazing. Also, I love that he used his intelligence in multiple ways and not just with simple things.

In conclusion, that’s why Franklin D. Roosevelt was kind hearted, helpful, and intelligent because he would think of other people and not just himself. He also helped keep America safe in a lot of different ways. Lastly, he created a social

security program that provided money to the retirees to let them live comfortably. I want you to think about Franklin D. Roosevelt and how things would have gone if he was never president. I bet that if he was never president then a lot of things wouldn’t have happened that helped a lot of people. Like for example how the retirees would be able to live comfortably if that social security program wasn’t created.

In the President Research Fund it also says “Roosevelt’s determination and leadership led to the successful completion of the canal in 1914.” This explains that he was clever enough to make the canal.

In my opinion the last important trait President Roosevelt had was his helpfulness. In the President Research Fund it said “He wanted to make sure that products people bought were safe, and

companies were honest in their business practices.” This proves that Theodore Roosevelt was helpful because he is taking care of the people by making sure food is safe.

Do you know who Ulysses S Grant is? After researching President Ulysses S Grant I believe there are certain traits that make a fantastic president. Three of some traits that Ulysses is clever, hardworking, and kind hearted. Those are some traits that he has.

I think Grant is very clever! I know this because wix.com says that creating the Department of Justice: Law and Order president Grant established the Department of Justice, an important part of the government that ensures laws are followed:· I choose that because it was very clever of him to make the Department of Justice to make people do the right thing. Now that was super clever to make sure everyone was doing the right thing and following the laws. Another thing from wix.xom states is that “A new approach Grant worked to improve relations with Native American Tribes.” I chose that quote because he wanted peace to the Native Americans and one other country. I thought that was very clever of him to do. Those two quotes show that Grant is very clever and he was solving problems. That proves that he is very clever.

Secondly, did you know that Grant is also very hard working? He is very hard working. This quote will show you how he is so hard working. Wix.com says that Fighting against the Ku Klux Klan: Protecting Civil Rights president Grant took a strong stand against groups like Ku Klux Klan, who were trying to prevent African American from enjoying their newly gained rights: I chose that because it proves that it was hard to do but he did it. He did it because he cared and it was very very very hard to do. That is how hard he is working. Another quote is from Wix.com and it states “President Grant successfully negotiated the treaty of Washington with Great Britain” I chose this quote because it can be very hard for people to negotiate so it was hard work.

He was trying to make peace between two countries. That is how I summarize how he was hard working.

I think that Grant is very kind hearted. A quote that shows that he is very kind hearted is from wix.com says “He wanted to make sure that everyone, no matter where they lived, had equal rights. I had chosen that quote because that showed that he was kind hearted about people’s rights. Also wanted to make sure everyone had equal rights. Another quote from wix. com states, “Grant believed in everyone’s right to be treated fairly, regardless of their skin color. I said that quote because it shows that Grant did not care about what their skin color is. That shows a lot of kind hearted behavior. That is why I believe that he is so kind hearted.

In conclusion, I gave you some reasons why Grant has wonderful traits to make him a fantastic president. The traits that make him a fantastic president are clever, hardworking, and kind hearted.

Commander in Chief: President Ronald Reagan

By Sidak Mehta

After researching President Ronald Reagan, I believe there are certain traits that make a president great. And those traits I’m talking about are Optimistic, Peaceful, and Generous. But first, let’s start with a fun fact. Did you know that president Reagan was originally an actor before he became president in 1981? I bet you guys didn’t know that! Anyway, time to start with the traits.

One important trait I believe President Reagan had was his Optimism. According to the President Research Fund, “He was known for his optimism and strong leadership”. This part was in the introduc tion, and it said, “He was known for his optimism”. And if you’re optimistic, that means you’re confident about something, and in my opinion, I think that would be a great trait for President Reagan.

Another important trait I believe President Reagan had was his Peaceful mindset. According to the President Research Fund, “Reagan believed in a strong defense and used a strategy called, “Peace through strength”. This was an important strategy because he wanted to have peace and not fight anymore, which will result in less problems. Ac cording to the President Research Fund, “His policies and negotiations eventu ally contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the Cold War, making a historic turning point in world history.

This made him an amazing president, all because he didn’t want to physically fight and just make peace.

The last trait I believe President Reagan had was his generosity. According to the President Research Fund, “One of President Reagan’s major accomplishments was steering the country toward economic prosperity”. This says that he cared for his country and made it successful. “Reagan implemented tax cuts, which meant that people and businesses had more money

that made him unique. After reading about Bill Clinton I think that he is a amazing president because he added many laws that help today and he did many other things which I will talk about in this story. One thing I will be talking about is How Bill Clinton was helpful. Another thing I will talk about is why he was kind hearted as well as responsible. In my next paragraph I will talk about why Bill Clinton is helpful.

The first reason is that Bill Clinton is helpful because he added many laws that

peace.” He did this so that other countries would not want to start wars with America.

According to The President Research Company “He helped people in poverty in many ways.” One way he did this was by making a system that helped people get money. In the next paragraph I will talk about why Bill Clinton is responsible.

The last reason is that, Bill Clinton is responsible for many different reasons.

According to The President Research Company “There are many things he

Clinton

By Jackson Means

Did you know that in the year of 2000 while William (Bill) Clinton was in office Putin and Russia tried to join NATO (North Atlantic Organization Treaty), but Bill Clinton denied his request. After Research about Bill Clinton I have decided on these 4 character traits that best describe him: Controlling, Friendly, Intelligent, Helpful. I believe that these character traits best

confident about spending money.” I chose this quote because it better describes what the economic boom did to the country and the economy in many places.

Another thing that Bill Clinton did was he passed a crime bill in which they focused on hiring more police officers, setting up programs for preventing crime. According to the president r fund they say as well, “This law focused on hiring more police officers, creating programs to prevent crime, and being tough on those who

Research Fund (PRF) Dwight D. Eisenhower helped create NASA. This is important to know because NASA travels space, makes robots, does engineering, studies on space, etc. And Dwight D. Eisenhower helped create it.

Meaning he was probably very smart if he helped create an organization of people that could potentially find out EVERYTHING about the universe. Another piece of evidence from the PRF is the statement, “One of Eisenhower’s most significant achievements was the creation of the Interstate Highway System.” I chose this quote because it shows he was smart enough to make one of America’s most useful things. Further proving my point he is intelligent.

I believe another important trait Dwight D. Eisenhower had was maturity. According to the PRF Dwight D. Eisenhower balanced the USA’s budget. In the text it states, “Eisenhower was best known for his careful management of the country’s finances.” This quote is important because being able to balance the whole USA’s finances must have been a very hard and mature job. Another thing from the PRF that proves he was mature was he managed to keep peace during the cold war. Why this is important is because immature people would’ve started fighting and making it worse but Dwight D. Eisenhower managed to keep peace.

The last trait Dwight D. Eisenhower had that I think is important was peacefulness. Dwight D. Eisenhower promoted and supported civil rights. Although he only had one small play which was giving everyone the right to vote it was a step toward equality. So even if it was a small contribution it still counts. Another good reason is that he kept the peace during the cold war like I said before. He stopped the USA and The Soviet Union from fighting. Which also stopped millions of people from dying.

I believe Dwight D. Eisenhower had certain traits that made him an amazing president. Dwight D. Eisenhower made many things we still have today like NASA and highways. So if he was never president, who knows where we’d be now.

The second trait is respectful. According to major accomplishment “President Harrison did something really nice for people who served in the military, it’s like giving them a big “thank you” for all they do to keep us safe.” This quote is important because he is thanking everyone who defined the country from wars. According to the Indy Star “Harrison signed into law after nearly two decades of debate about public land policy and concerns about excessive logging.” This quote is important because he stops trees getting cut excessively and saves them.

The third trait is Protective. According to Indy Star “Benjamin Harrison had to settle for creating the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve in 1893. The Grand Canyon wouldn’t become a national park until President Woodrow Wilson in 1919.” This quote explains that he was preventing the Grand Canyon from becoming a park. According to Indy Star “Sequoia National Park was the first national park formed to protect a living organism.” This quote explains that he opened a park that protected a living organism.

To summarize, Benjamin Harrison was a kind, protective and brave person. When you think about the country, think of Benjamin Harrison.

Commander in Chief: President Abraham Lincoln

By Noah Stutzman

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln had a pet? There are many interesting things about Abraham Lincoln, and I believe that Abraham Lincoln was a superior president. I think he’s a superior president because he is helpful, bold, and hardworking. He did an amazing job at being a president.

The first reason is that he is helpful. According to the President’s Major Accomplishments, “Lincoln worked tirelessly to keep the nation together during the Civil War.” This is important because they were attacked many times during the Civil War. Adding to the point His troops were as scared as a person seeing a ghost.

Another reason why is that he was bold. He was bold because he tried to help end slavery while he was hated for it. But even with that he did it. According to the President’s Major Accomplishments, “He signaled them to get it done.” This quote is important because it was a step to ban slavery.

The last reason is because he was hard working. He was hard working because he was a part of the ban of slavery. Which

was important because it was happening everywhere. According to the President’s Major Accomplishments, “He was a part of the thirteenth Amendment.” This quote is important because it was hard to do it because it was everywhere.

In conclusion he was important. I think that he was helpful because he helped his team. He was bold because he helped slow down slavery. He was hard working because he help end slavery. In all he made our world better.

Commander in Chief: President Andrew Jackson

I believe an important trait president Andrew Jackson has is how brave he was. The first reason is because he led the fight in the New Orleans war. He led them to victory. The President Research Company said “this battle made him a national hero.” and then people started to like him more and he was a hero. He also helped in the bank war to look after the citizens.

I believe an important trait president Andrew Jackson has was how nice he was. He was thinking about the people of America when he paid a debt. The President Research Company stated “Jackson believed that eliminating the debt would benefit the country.” He also let more people be able to vote. It said in the text “Jackson aimed to give more voting rights to the common people.” He made the voting rights more relaxed.

I believe an important trait president Andrew Jackson has was how wise he is. Thinking and how he was thinking about the economy and paying debts so it would benefit later in life. The President Research Company said “Jackson believed that eliminating the debt would benefit the country.” This was a wise decision to make more Stability. The President Research Company states “he had several significant accomplishments during his time in office.”

Commander in Chief: President Dwight D Eisenhower

By Drew Altenhoff

Do you know who Dwight D Eisenhower is because in this essay I am going to be talking about the three different traits that I think fit with Dwight I personally think that Dwight is a hardworking, determined and intelligent man because of everything he has done in his presidential history. In my opinion I think that because he has worked hard many years, used his brian to make something that took many risks but also helped out the world in many different ways, and he never gave up on his dreams.

The first trait that will be discussed in this essay is how he is a hardworking man. Dwight D Eisenhower worked and served many years in the military and worked hard all of those years to accomplish being president and know how to treat the world. Another reason why I think that Dwight would always have a good budget of money by not having too much but not too little. But after working hard in the military and working hard as the president he went on to make and receive many achievements. For example, to explain how he was a hardworking man like from The Presidential Research Company it states II from building highways to creating civil rights, creating

NASA, maintaining peace during the cold war.” Lastly after working the hardest he has ever worked he was officially able to pronounce NASA which is now one of the most famous places to learn and explore more about space and how space crafts are made.

The next trait that will be mentioned in this essay about Dwight D Eisenhower is how he is really intelligent. I think that Dwight is a really intelligent person because He was smart with what he was smart with his money. According to the Presidential research company it states II He worked to balance the federal budget, ensuring that the government didn’t spend more money than it had. “For instance while keeping a balanced budget he was also focusing on the right stuff and the supplies that would be needed to help create the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). But he also needed a good budget to keep a good president. Dwight D Eisenhower was a really good president. The president took good care of how much money he was spending.

Now the final trait that will be discussed about Dwight D Eisenhower is that he is determined to do something even if it

Name: School: Grade: Parents: Teacher: Esther Chin Break-O-Day Elementary Mrs.Winscott Emmanuel & Mary Chin 3

is challenging for him. One reason why I think that he is a determined man is because of how he wasn’t scared to go around and beyond his boundaries to create an officially announced NASA. Dwight D Eisenhower was committed to go out in space and explore what was around us, and he created one of the most famous exploration and engineering places to go and learn more about space. He also gave many speeches and he has many famous quotes. Like one of his most famous quotes states “Some men are considered great because they lead great armies and lead powerful nations”. That quarter was important because of how he stayed determined and didn’t give up on his dreams. But he wasn’t just determined because he was a hardworking man, he was also part of the military and he served for many years. So you should be able to understand why Dwight was a good president.

Lastly, after everything that was discussed in this essay, should help you understand why I picked these three traits: determined, hardworking, and intelligent to go with Dwight D Eisenhower. But you should also understand why he was a great president for everything that he did like many speeches and how he created one of the most famous space places around. But I think that one of my favorite things about him is his speeches and famous quotes that he stated to inspire many people. But to cut to the conclusion you should now be informed about everything that Dwight has done and everything he has accomplished during his presidency.

Commander in Chief: President Barack Obama

By Hayden Beeles

Did you know that Barack Obama was the first African American president in the U.S.A.? After researching Barack Obama I believe there are certain traits that make a president great, brave, friendly, and kind.

I believe that an important trait for president Obama is bravery. According to the president’s research fund,” One of the most important moments during Obama’s presidency was the successful operation to catch Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In 2011, Obama ordered a military mission that led to the death of Bin Laden. This achievement was a major step in the fight against terrorism and brought a sense of justice to the American people.” This quote is important because after Obama found Osama Bin Laden he helped the military locate his area and ended up leading to the death of him. According to the president’s research fund,” one of the most important moments during Obama’s presidency was the capture of the mastermind

behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks.” I chose this quote because it shows that Obama was very brave during these moments and it also shows that he is kind because he was helping out the military.

I believe that another amazing trait that fits president Obama is friendly. According to the president’s research fund,” his election inspired people all around the world.” This quote is important because this shows that he inspired many people by his friendliness and by also helping out others. According to the president’s research fund,” many saw it as a symbol of progress and the idea that anyone, regardless of their background can achieve their dreams and lead the nation.” I chose this quote because this shows how he led the nation and was a fantastic president. And that shows how he was a friendly person.

Another good trait that goes with Barack Obama is kind. According to the president’s research fund, “This law aimed to make sure more people could have access to affordable health care.” This quote is important because it shows that Obama helped many people as a president.

According to the president’s research fund, “It allowed young adults to stay on their parents insurance plans, prevented insurance companies from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions, and expanded Medicaid to help more lowincome families.” This quote is important because it shows how Obama helped families when money was tight or other things that were happening.

In conclusion there are many traits that have made Obama a wonderful president: braveness, friendliness, and kindness. Did you know that Barack Obama ended the Iraq War. Another thing is he won 2 Grammy awards and he also got the Primetime Emmy Award. President Obama did many amazing things as a president.

Commander in Chief: President Andrew Jackson

By Sam Bright

Did you know that Andrew Jackson fought in a battle? Andrew Jackson is an interesting person to learn about. After I researched about President Andrew Jackson there are certain traits that make this president great. For example he is brave, fair, and thoughtful to this country.

I believe that an important trait that makes Andrew Jackson great, is his bravery. Firstly in The President Research Company it said “Jackson led Americans forces to victory against the British.” This quote tells us that Andrew Jackson is brave because he had to risk his life for his country. In The President Research Company it also said “This battle made him a national hero and boosted his popularity.” Jackson’s actions tell us readers

that Andrew Jackson is brave because he had to leave his family for his country. This is why Andrew Jackson is Brave.

Another personality that makes Andrew Jackson great is that he was fair. In the The President Research Company it states “Jackson democracy aimed to give more power to common people.” For instance this action will tell us that Andrew Jackson is fair because he did what was right for his country. Also, another quote from The President Research Company that tells us that Andrew Jackson is great is “Allowing more white males to participate in elections.” This quote tells us that Andrew Jackson is fair because he let people vote for what they think. This shows that Andrew Jackson had the trait fair.

Another trait that Andrew Jackson had was thoughtful. In the The President Research Company it states “Jackson believed that eliminating the debt would benefit his country.” Paying the debt for his country shows that Andrew Jackson is thoughtful because he probably lost a lot of money paying the debt. Another quote from The President Research Company that tells us that Jackson is thoughtful is “He achieved this by expanding voting rights.” This shows how Andrew Jackson is a thoughtful person.

In conclusion, Andrew Jackson is a thoughtful, brave, and fair person. He led soldiers to victory in a battle. Secondly he paid the national debt. Lastly, he allowed the white males to vote. Andrew Jackson is an interesting person. All of these traits that Andrew Jackson has make him a great president.

Commander in Chief: President Donald J. Trump

By Isaiah Gross

An interesting fact about Donald Trump was that he was the only president in U.S. history to be impeached twice! After researching President Donald J. Trump, I strongly believe there are certain traits that make this president great. Brave, thoughtful, and clever are the traits that I have chosen.

The first reason I think he is brave, he went to Middle East countries and helped them agree on stuff that they couldn’t agree on. According to the Presidential Research Company, “Donald Trump helped make peace agreements between some countries in the Middle East that used to have problems with each other. It’s like being a peacemaker on the playground, helping everyone get along and be friends.” Imagine how scary that was going to another country to settle differences. He could have been shot and killed by somebody who doesn’t like him very much!

The second reason I think he is

thoughtful, he lowered taxes for families. According to the Presidential Research Company, “One major accomplishment of Donald Trump as president was passing a law that lowered taxes for many families and businesses. Imagine if you received a bigger allowance or your parents had more money to spend on things your family needs.”

This quote explains that he lowered taxes, that means that he helped poor families be able to afford their taxes and earn more money for paying a lesser amount of money!

And finally, for how I think he is clever, He found vaccines for Covid-19 extremely quickly! According to the Presidential Research Company, “He started something called “Operation Warp Speed,” which is like a superhero mission to make vaccines quickly. The vaccines are like shields that help our bodies fight off the virus and stay healthy. This helped a lot of people get better and protected many more from getting sick.” It was clever thinking to get vaccines because if he did it in a lesser amount of time, then more people in the U.S. would have died.

To summarize everything that has been stated, Donald Trump was a Brave, clever, and thoughtful man. Finally, to end off the essay, a quote, said by none other than Donald Trump. “I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.”

Commander in Chief: President Jimmy Carter

By Noah Clements

Do you know who the 39th president is? Well he is the oldest living president right now. It is President James Earl Carter or Jimmy Carter. I will explain how Helpful, intelligent, and equal he was and how these traits made him a great president.

One reason he was helpful is because in The President Research Company it states” he found peace and solution”. He helped people through the segregation times when there were hundreds of thousands of people who were being rude and disrespectful. Another reason he was “helpful is he helped the panama people and gave them back the Panama Canal”. This statement I got was from The President Research Company. This is helpful because those people can now travel through the United States to different countries. This also showed fairness and respect towards other countries.

Have you ever wondered if Jimmy Carter or James Earl Carter is Intelligent? Well he is and here are some things that show it. Reason one is that he knew how to help people from a different countries agree and how to make peace in their country. Here is a quote from the President’s research company that states

“ imagine being in a big meeting with leaders from Egypt, and israel. President Carter helped them talk and agree on how to make peace. This was a huge deal because it ended years of conflict and brought stability to the Middle East. Another reason he is intelligent is because in 1979, he signed a law creating the department of Education. It is like a team who helps make schools better all across the country. A quote from the president’s research company “President Carter cared a lot about education. So in 1979 he signed a law creating the Department Of Education”. This quote is important because this helped a lot of people. But there were a couple of groups helping all across the world.

Lastly, this is why President Carter is equal. The first reason why he is equal is because he believed in equality so much that when other countries who were still in segregation, he told them to stop. Here is a quote from the president research company that states that “He made it a priority to speak out against other countries that didn’t treat their citizens right”. This was the right thing to do since people look up to their president then they are going to be seeing him treating people badly so they are going to treat people badly. But when the people who have become stronger they are going to treat people badly and it is going to keep happening over and over. My last reason why he was equal is because President Carter believed in treating everybody fairly and respectfully. According to the president of research company Jaes Earl Carter “he was a big advocate for human rights. This means he believed in treating people fairly and with respect. This shows that he is equal because he treating anybody and everybody with respect no matter their skin color. This will help with their mindset and think positive about themselves. That was something amazing he did. To show that he was equal.

To summarize I have told you how James Earl Carter was Helpful, Intelligent, and Equal. But if you want any more information you can go to The President Research Company. So there you might be able to find some research online but be careful some of that might be fake.

Another quote from the President’s Major Accomplishments helps us understand how President Grant helped the African-Americans rebuild states “After the Civil War, the country was in a tough spot and Grant worked hard to rebuild the Southern states.” This helps prove how President Grant was known for his heroic deeds in life.

President Grant was intelligent because he had negotiated with Great Britain. President Grant had several accomplishments and a remarkable presidency. A quote from the President’s Major Accomplishments states, “Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th president of the United States, had a remarkable presidency,” President Grant also had been to 2 military schools and 2 private schools in his life. A different quote from the article President’s Major Accomplishments states, “Diplomacy of the World Stage President Grant successfully negotiated the Treaty of Washington with Great Britain,” I chose this quote because it helps explain how President Grant was an intelligent person.

Ulysses S. Grant was a very pleased man after winning the civil War. President Grant had gone against the KKK ({Ku Klux Klan). President Grant had taken a huge stand for African-Americans.

A quote from the article President’s Major Accomplishment’s states, “He passed laws and used federal power to fight against the KKK, helping to protect the Civil Rights,” This helps us know that Grant put a lot into African-Americans.

According to President’s Major Accomplishments that helps us know that helps explain how president Grant was a very pleased man in life is “Protecting Civil Rights took a strong stand against groups like Ku Klux Klan who was trying to prevent African-Americans,” This quote explains how Grant was pleased about winning and protecting the American-Africans.

As we wrap it up, this is how President Grant is definitely the most wonderful President. He was courageous, he was intelligent, and he was pleased. President Grant worked hard in life and I hope that

one day you can write about him too.

If President Grant wasn’t our 18th President then African Americans would still be treated badly. We should be thankful for Grant and his hard work in his life for becoming our 18th president in history. This proves that us humans can work together to make a difference in our lives.

Commander in Chief: President William McKinley

By Wrigley Wood

Did you know William McKinley had a rooster? There are many interesting facts about William McKinley, including his time as president. After researching William McKinley there are three certain traits that made him a good president.

There are traits that make presidents great but there are certain traits that made William McKinley an amazing president: courage, bravery and heroic.

I believe that a good president should have courage. According to the President’s research fund “William McKinley led the Spanish and Indian war.” He led this war in 1898 and by doing so he showed his courage he won the war and showed victory. This quote explains that he had lots of courage and faith to lead a war. Another reason is that he has courage according to the president’s research fund, “He fought during the battle of Antietam.” This says that he is willing to fight a war for his country.

The second trait that a good president needs is bravery. He has bravery because the president’s research fund says, “He steered the country toward prosperity.” I choose this quote because it shows he has bravery to make a change! Another reason he has bravery is because he adopted Hawaii into America. The reason this shows bravery is because he is willing to work for the contrary. The White House. gov says, “Raising protective to riffs to promote American industry.” This shows how he was brave and his will.

The last trait that makes a good president is heroic. A reason why he is heroic is he helped to protect American industries. This proves that he would tight for his country and people. McKinley’s politics left a long lasting impact on his country; this shows how he used his intelligence to help his people. William McKinley was a hero for a lot of reasons. Wikipedia says, “Gained control of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Cuba; restored prosperity after a deep depression; rejected the inflationary monetary policy of free silver, keeping the notion on the gold standard; and raised protective to riffs.” That is why William McKinley is heroic and a hero for his country.

As 25th president of the United States, William McKinley did many great things for our country, and had many great traits

that made him an amazing president! William McKinley has three traits that make him worthy of being president: courage, brave and heroic. Did you know William McKinley had eight siblings! William McKinley is a great president.

Commander in Chief: President Lyndon B Johnson

By lzaac Slayback

Today I am going to be telling you about Lyndon B Johnson in this essay. Did you know that Lyndon B Johnson used to be a teacher and today I am going to be teaching you how Lyndon B Johnson was wise, selfless, and energetic.

A trait that can fit Lyndon B Johnson is wise. I believe that he was wise because he had taken down racial barriers which had made it where white and colored people couldn’t go to the same school, restaurant bathroom and water fountain and if they were not taken down today they could be even worse like they probably could’ve made where they could’t buy a phone or house or be obligated to buy a worse phone than white people. If Lyndon B Johnson hadn’t been president racial barriers would probably still be here. According to The presidential research company II the Civil rights act of 1964 this law was aimed to to stop discrimination based on race and color.”

Another trait that can fit Lyndon B. Johnson is energetic by Lyndon doing one thing after a another after another after another the thing he did were basically a year’s difference and which might seem like a lot but it’s actually just 356 day or 51 weeks or twelve months and in those six years of his presidency, he had gotten many things done in those six years. Starting in 1964 which was the Civil Rights Act of 1964: breaking down barriers in which he had stopped discrimination between race and color which excluded colored people from voting speaking of excluded from voting time for me to speak about the Voting Rights Acts of 1965: Opening the door of demomancy which LBJ which was his nickname had continued to fight for equality and fairness for all race and color. ·

The final trait that I think would fit Lyndon B Johnson is selfless, because Lyndon had put himself before others. Johnson helped many of our loved ones with their Medicare and Medicaid. Especially our older loved ones also LBJ had a big heart. According to the president’s major accomplishments site it had said II LBJ had a big heart he wanted to make sure everyone had access to good Medicare.” This quote explains that LBJ wanted everyone to have phenomenal healthcare.

In conclusion Lyndon B Johnson was a great president and was energetic, wise and selfless and had wanted everyone to

live a long and happy life with no racial barriers and wanting people having great Medicare.

Commander in Chief: President Abraham Lincoln

By Alexis Olmos

Do you really know everything about Abraham Lincoln? After researching about President Abraham Lincoln I believe there are certain traits that make him a great president. I think some of the great traits he had was that he was clever. He was also daring and compassionate. In this essay I will be talking about President Abraham Lincoln’s traits and how these traits helped him be the fantastic president he was.

Firstly, I believe an important trait president Abraham Lincoln had was his cleverness. For example, he was clever because, “Abraham Lincoln took a bold step in ending slavery with emancipation proclamation.” This quote came from “The President Research Company.” This quote is important because it gives you a picture on what Abraham did to be clever. Another reason why I think he was clever is because, “His commitment to preserving the Union was evident.” I choose this quote because to preserve the Union you have to be very clever.

Another important trait Abraham Lincoln had was that he was daring. For instance, Abraham Lincoln gave a speech about slavery and ending it. Some people hated the idea of ending it though. I choose this because some people really hated the idea and you have to be daring to do something that people hate. Another reason why he was daring is because, “One of Lincoln’s most crucial accomplishments was his leadership during the Civil War.” This quote also came from “The President Research Company”. I chose this quote because to lead a war, especially the Civil War, that takes some gut to do.

One last important trait that Abraham Lincoln had was that he was compassionate. He was very compassionate when he was trying to stop slavery. I think this is important because it gives a good understanding on how he felt. It also states that one thing he did was, “To support westward expansion and provide opportunities for families.” This quote is from “The President Research Company.” I think this quote is important because by Moving families west he helped them get more land, find jobs, and develop new cities and life. So from all of these things he did, he was compassionate.

In conclusion, as you can see president Abraham Lincoln has many wonderful traits that made him an excellent president. For example, him being clever, daring, and compassionate. I hope now

you have learned some amazing facts about Abraham Lincoln. Hopefully now you have also learned a little more about this amazing president. Finally, did you know that Abraham Lincoln had 2 dogs and 2 cats?

Commander in Chief

By Ethan Flood

The next election is this year! Here’s what personalities I think a good president should have.

One of the best personalities a good president should have in achievement striving. This is whenever someone works hard to achieve higher goals than other people. According to APA.org, “achievement striving was found to be one of the best correlates of greatness in the oval office and competence was also a big predictor of presidential success.” Achievement striving is good for president because they achieve a lot more.

The second trait a president should have is resilience. The president needs to have resilience to be able to face challenges and not give up. According to CCL. org, “resilience is more than the ability to bounce back from obstacles and setbacks – it’s the ability to respond adaptively to challenges.” If the president has resilience they can overcome setbacks.

The final trait a president should have is self-awareness. Self-awareness is the ability to know what’s good for yourself. According to businessleadershiptoday. com, “self-awareness refers to a person’s ability to accurately perceive their emotions and remain aware of them as they occur.” If the president has self-awareness, they can admit that they made a mistake and not blame someone else.

These traits are what I think a good president should have. Do you agree with me?

Commander in Chief: How old do you have to be?

By Jessie Alvey

You know how you can vote for the next president in four years? Well if you want to do so then you have to be eighteen years old to vote, you can’t do it if you are seventeen years old that would be illegal. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures it says, although the federal voting age is eighteen, a third of the states allow those who are seventeen, but will be eighteen by the general election to vote in primaries. Although the federal age is eighteen, eighteen states and Washington, D.C, allow those who are seventeen, but will be eighteen by the general election, to vote in primaries.” So

that is how old you have to be to vote in primaries.

What personalities?

What personalities should the new president have? I could say a hundred things, but I can’t. So some of the personality we would like a president to have would be something like …

Maybe nice or cool, smart, agreeable, funny, persuasive, all of those things will be good for the future president.

I can say a lot more but that would be a little overrated. That is a few ideas of what personalities the new president should have for the year 2024.

The president in general for 2024, we would want to expect from them is a lot more than our first president, George Washington. According to Mount Vernon, George Washington- first American president, commander of the Continental Army, president of the Constitutional convention, and farmer.

So we can tell that some of the former presidents were a little different from the presidents nowadays. So that was that, that is what I think the new president should be like or they might cause some trouble.

Commander in Chief

By Sadie Buckler

If I were president, I would give everybody equal rights no matter the gender, for many, many reasons. You will see when I am President

I would ban racist because that is not OK because they are still people. That would get you in jail and you need to give one good reason why you were racist, but no reason is good anuff. and even if you do, I do not care you are going to jail whether you like it or not!!!!!

Schools needs to teach real world problems not the periodic table, history and more. They don’t teach us how to do taxes, or finance for your first house or apartment or to sell your house or fix a flat tire, to save money, more bathroom breaks.

Some of taxes would go to homeless Shelters because I believe that it would make a BIG difference in the country, so that there are no people lining the streets. That would be very dangerous for them and us, you could be driving and hit some homeless people and that would either seriously hurt them and maybe you.

Commander in Chief: Presidents with politics

By Remington F. Davis

Have you ever wondered what president will get elected? I have. First I want to share my opinion about the best president.

Here is my opinion. In my opinion I think a president should be smart, brave, and

analyze what’s happening. He/she should have many responsibilities and privileges. He/she should also be independent for the country. Here are some presidents who did a fine job. George Washington is famous for being the first president and leading the Continental Army. He is also known for having “great leadership and character”. His braveness helped us become the country we are today. He “accomplished the Whiskey Tax”. When he was alive he “constructed the nation’s capital.”

Unlike George this is another perfect president. Theodore Roosevelt is honored, because “he built the Panama Canal”. Other than that, he also “established monuments, forests, and national parks to preserve the country’s resources”. In foreign policy, he focused on Central America.

“During his first 100 days as president, Roosevelt spearheaded unprecedented federal legislation and directed the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing the New Deal in response to the most significant economic crisis in American history. Sympathetic to both business and labor, Roosevelt avoided labor strikes, most notably negotiating a settlement to the great Coal Strike of 1902.”

The next one is not as great as the others, because I had to come up with something. Donald Trump is known for being the “forty fifth president of the United States of America.” When he was president the unemployment rate reached three point five which is the lowest it has ever been in half a century. He was born on June 14, 1946. Donald Trump attended New York Military Academy (1959-64). He created more than 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs.

Considering all three presidents I went through I think these three presidents combined would make the perfect president. This year there are ten people running for president. I hope you find this helpful, and remember to come back later with presidents with politics.

Commander in Chief: Let’s improve our country!

By Addison Galbraith

If I were president, I would make some changes to the things we use the country’s money on. I would focus our spending on programs and services that directly help our citizens and improve their lives. To get money to do this I would like to stop bombing other countries! From nti. org:

“The United States spent a minimum of $5.5 trillion on its nuclear weapons program:· And that’s only nuclear weapons. And we may help fix hunger, homelessness, and our roads with that money.

Speaking of the hunger & the homeless we could help the hunger if we have more food pantries and more charities. We could save millions of lives. From usafacts.org “Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders are 1.8% of the homeless population despite being just 0.26% of the US population. They have the nation’s highest rate of homelessness at 121 per 10,000 people. “Also feedingamerica. org More than 44 million people in the US face hunger, including 1 in 5 children. In 2022 alone, 49 million people turned to food assistance for extra help ... Oh and one more problem- POTHOLES! From citywork.com “Every year, Hoosiers are dealing with the same headache - potholes. Indianapolis Department of Public Works crews across the state fill tens of thousands every year, but they always come right back. In fact, new research shows 40% of U.S. roads are in poor condition, costing drivers $141 billion a year, which is about $621 per driver ... So we should.

Our country has millions of problems but one big problem is littering. From Kab. org “Nearly 50 billion pieces of litter along U.S. roadways and waterways:·Many creatures such as sea life can die easily if our country continues to litter. If we make more programs to help pick up litter our country can be as clean as a whistle. We should also recycle.

Now that you know what I want to do if I was President we should use these things to help. Stop bombing other countries, help the homeless, help the hunger, potholes, and littering.

Now let’s improve our country!

Commander in Chief: What I would do if I were president

By Joseph Jackson

This is what I would do if I were president. First off, I Would decrease gas prices because gas is just too expensive right now. Second off. I will make foodstuffs and everyday items cheaper because like I said things are just too expensive these days. I would also ban some things here in the USA such as cigarettes, tobacco, alcohol and all drugs.

Next I will ban illegal driving because it’s so dangerous. Like I said before I would ban illegal driving but you may be thinking illegal driving is well illegal but I’m talking about like 10 year olds sitting in the front seat and under aged teenagers driving on busy roads and kids sitting on each other’s laps when there is no more seats in the car and most importantly drunk driving people cannot drink before they drive because over 10,800 people die each year due to drunk driving, that’s the illegal driving im talking about.

Next I would like to talk about shoplifting people shoplift way too many times so

I think every store should have receipt checkers including dollar stores because even more people steal from dollar stores than you think.

Another reason why I think this is because stores like Walmart lose an estimated 3 billion dollars per year due to shoplifting.

Finally I want to talk about gas prices again because gas prices are way too expensive right now so I’m gonna decrease gas prices a lot until they are the same as when they were back in 2015.

Another reason why I’m gonna decrease gas prices is because more and more people can’t drive their cars because they can’t afford gas, so if I decrease gas prices more people can afford gas and can drive their cars.

So all of that typing was an essay about what I would do if I were president. This isn’t my opinion on which president I like. I just made it so I hope you liked it.

Commander in Chief

By Drew Sherry

A president should be a strong leader that consists of making good statements, and thinking about other people as well as their ideas. Presidents should always be alert for danger to our country. They need to stand up for a problem that hurts or damages our home, the U.S.

A president should also have an idea for the country. USHistory.org states, “A president should have a strong vision for the country· s future.” A president without a vision would be like a story without an end.

Presidents should also have management .skills if a crisis happens. USHistory. org exclaims, “Presidents should have good crisis management skills.” All presidents should be fair and respect an idea that is given to them. They should always be ahead of the task and be ready to take action.

Overall, I think a president should be a good person that can be ready in any situation. They just need to be as helpful as they can be.

Commander in Chief: What makes a good president?

By Lincoln Watkins

This is what I think makes a good president. A little kindness but firm. They have to help people in need for the greater good. They have to be strategic and smart. It would be best if they have military experience. They need to be a good leader and not afraid of an audience. They have to be diplomatic (Handle countries around the world).

Past good presidents include George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and more. George Washington fought for making our country. Abraham Lincoln

fought for African Americans’ freedom. Franklin D. Roosevelt took our country out of the Great Depression by helping farmers and the unemployed.

Past bad presidents include Andrew Johnson and Warren G. Harding.

Andrew Johnson is the worst president because after the Civil War he didn’t want to have laws that protected the people that were freed. When Abraham Lincoln died he got elected so in other words he wouldn’t have been president if Lincoln didn’t die. Warren G Harding was just terrible he made his friend the high office and in the senate and they repaid him with financial scandals.

The current president is Joe Biden. He’s alright in my opinion. He’s the 46th president, 81 years old born on November 20, 1942. He doesn’t talk a lot so maybe he’s a little bit shy and afraid of bad opinions.

This is what I think makes a good president: stubbornness, kindness, strategic, smart, and diplomatic. These are only a few traits that I think presidents should have, like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and more.

Movie Magic: “Mean Girls”

By Zora Pasch

I have just recently seen the movie “Mean Girls.” In the movie, a teen girl is tested on how she would act when treated nicely by the popular kids in school. Through losing friends, getting bad grades and hurting other people’s feelings, the teen quickly learns that being popular isn’t always the best thing to be. I like that the movie taught people that the truth always comes out.

The main character in this movie tried to hide her desire to be popular by acting like she was spying on the popular group. By doing this, she showed her true colors when it came to doing anything to get what she wanted.

This movie also taught a lot about bullying. In one part of the movie, every girl in the school shared their own stories of being bullied. Even the most popular kids had stories to share about being bullied. This was great because it showed that we all have the same problems and really aren’t that different. My mom says the language could’ve been better, but I think the movie didn’t need to show a girl getting hit by a bus. Even though she was okay, it made me sad.

I think the acting was good because it did a good job of showing exactly how bullies act in school. It was very realistic. The popular girls would tell someone less popular that they looked nice, and then go behind their back and talk about their ugly outfit. There were some good songs and some not so good. The good ones had a beat that I could dance to, and the not so good had bad words in them.

When my mom and I sat down to watch it, I thought it would be kinda dumb since it was an older movie made a long time ago. I was surprised to see that it looked very real and seemed like it was from the current time in school. The same things happen in school now as did in the movie.

I would recommend the movie to my friends as long as they watch it with their mom or dad. The movie shows us that school is better when we are kind to others. That is a lesson that everyone needs to learn.

Movie Magic: “The Secret Garden”

By Grayson Pasch

Have you ever watched a movie and then read the book thinking they would be the same? Were you disappointed that they weren’t? I was.

In the movie “The Secret Garden” there were a lot of great scenes, but for me it was not enough like the book. For example, in the book, Mary’s parents died from an illness, but in the movie they died from a fire. However, something I did like was how the characters’ features stayed the same in the movie and book. Specifically, the book described Collin as having big eyes and Dicken as having rosy, red cheeks. Those characters had those same features in the movie.

There were a few scenes in the movie that seemed out of order with what was in the book. The key was found in different places, and other things happened before finding the key in the book as opposed to finding it in the movie. In the movie, the acting was really good. I liked how the actors made the story believable, and that the characters acted much like what was described in the book. The background music did a good job making me feel nervous at times and excited at times. The plotline was amazing because it went from sad and mad to happy and loving.

The filming of the movie was done well. The scenes looked real and the actors acted well. The Misselthwaite Manor looked just as it was described in the book. After watching the movie I would not recommend it to other people because it wasn’t close enough to the storyline of the book for me which made me a little disappointed.

A lesson that “The Secret Garden” taught me is that no matter what hurts us in life, we can be mended with the right amount of care. It may happen slowly, but if we keep an open heart and mind then it will happen eventually.

Movie Magic: “Wonka”

By Norah Spillmann

What is your favorite movie? In my opinion, I really like the “Wonka” movie that came out recently. It was really interesting and I think it turned out really really

well.

Characters:

The new Wonka movie is really funny! It has Willy Wonka, the main character, and many more amazing characters such as Noodle. All the characters were really good and I feel like it took a lot of time trying to create them. It was really good, it had great characters and amazing word choice. My favorite character, although I like all of them, is probably gonna have to be Willy Wonka. He has humor, character, and bravery in my opinion. My second favorite character is gonna have to be Noodle, a really kind girl with an equitable personality.

What could’ve been better:

What I think could’ve been better, is that they could’ve done more with the Oompa Loompas, or showed more about them, because isn’t the movie supposed to be about how he meets the Oompa Loompas? And also, I feel like they could’ve made the newer one before the other ones because the newer one is supposed to be about him meeting the Oompa Loompas when he was younger, but the other one came first instead of the other, which is totally fine. But other than that, it was absolutely incredible.

What was good:

I really liked the plot and the ending is just wow!!! On my movie list, it is definitely #1. If someone asked me to rate it, I would totally rate it a 10/10!! The acting also was really good. I liked the singing and dancing. The music was also good. I like it when the music starts out sweet and cute but then drops down to suspenseful. If I have to choose between the original or the newer movie, I would choose the newer one. So if you have not watched the movie, I highly recommend it. So, in conclusion, my favorite movie is Wonka, and I hope you’ll like it too!!

Movie Magic: “The Mitchells vs. the Machines”

By Tyler Schloesser

A movie I personally love is “The Mitchells vs. the Machines. It’s a movie I would definitely recommend to anyone young or old no matter what interests they have. It is a movie that is rated PG so it is suitable for most people to watch. What makes it really good is that it has a lot of humor and is definitely going to make you and your family laugh. The critics say this, “Eye-catching and energetic, “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” delivers a funny, feel-good story that the whole family can enjoy.” That proves that it is family friendly and for anyone.

“The Mitchells vs. The Machines” is a good movie, but it is also a fairly new movie so it is not old like some others. The movie was released on April 23, 2021 so like I said it is fairly new. It also is not a

long movie like “Jaws” and “Titanic,” etc.

It is only one hour and fifty four minutes long. So it is not a long movie at all, and is decently long so it is perfect for a road trip.

It is a shortish and new movie, and this movie has good characteristics that every movie should have. There is nothing that really comes to mind that could be better when I watch it. A reason it is really good is because it is full of action and humor that me and my family love. An example of the humor is a giant Furby fighting them which also adds on to the action. The furbys that fight them are hilarious and anybody would like that scene.

Now the movie is funny, but a way I would summarize it is a robot apocalypse with a quirky family that the main humor comes from them as a family such as something like this, “I’m a first grade teacher this is like an everyday thing for me.” Which describes the giant furby attacking them and which the mom says that.

That is what I think about The Mitchells vs. The Machines and you may think about it differently and that is fine but that is what I think and I hope you the reader enjoyed me telling you about “The Mitchells vs. The Machines.”

Movie Magic: “Wonka”

Zaylee S.

Have you ever watched the movie “Wonka”? It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is incredible, and I love the script, acting, and more. Here are some of the reasons why I love this movie.

The first reason I love this movie so much is the script is wonderful and what they say really makes sense. This movie is pretty long and it is so cool that they can memorize their script. What they’re saying is almost magical. It’s a little slow in the beginning but it gets way way better. It’s so cool.

The second reason why I love this movie is the acting. It has quite a bit of emotion. For example, Wonka was feeling happy and excited when people started buying his chocolate, but then the owners made him disappointed when they said, “you can’t sell chocolate here”. He was pretty sad because that ruined his dream but spoiler alert he made chocolate again.

The third and final reason why I love this movie is the scenes. The scenes in this movie really go along with what they are saying and doing. Like when the go to the zoo they are talking about a giraffe, also the characters names go along with their personalities and jobs like Mrs. Scrubowns a laundromat and she makes people who disobey her do the laundry.

Also Wonka’s name sounds like an adventure and a mystery.

I would rate this movie five stars, I really recommend this movie. It is amazing!

Maybe you go and see this movie and agree with some of the reasons I love it.

Movie Magic: “The Flash”

By Joshua Schloesser

The 2023 movie “The Flash” is awesome the opening scene is Barry Allen at a coffee shop. And he gets a call from Alfred, Batman’s butler. There was a robbery and in less than five minutes there is an awesome chase scene where Batman is chasing the robber. Then Barry Allen asks Alfred “why can’t you ask Superman? Then Alfred say’s “That was my first thought.” Then Barry looks at the tv and it’s the news saying that Superman is in Guatemala.

And according to rottentomatoes.com “The Flash” has two-thirds of a decent storyline.”

It stars Ezra Miller as the Flash. It is based off of Flash point, a book series where Barry goes back in time to save his mother from getting murdered and at the same time his dad doesn’t go to prison. Then Barry and young Barry meet, and fight General Zod.

According to wikipedia.org it got “$271.3 million” in the box office. But one part of the flashpoint is missing Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash.

According to www.wikipedia.org “By October 2022, a script for the sequel had been written” and it also says that some of the writers want to add reverse flash. And also the main villain you might think would be General Zod since that’s who they fight for a good chunk of the movie. But you would be wrong, it’s Dark Flash. The Dark flash in the movie is young Barry after going back in time so many times to save Supergirl that he got debris all over him and he turned evil.

And even though critics HATE “The Flash” movie saying it is the second biggest superhero movie flop after “Wonder Woman: 1984.” Some still love the movie. But they won’t make a sequel any time soon.

Due to money loss and Ezra Miller going to jail they would have to get a huge loan and get another actor. And I personally thought it was a great movie.

But the critics were a bit harsh. Well one thing I didn’t like was the plot holes. And those are some reasons why you should watch “The Flash.”

Movie Magic: “Harriet”

By Daniel Sanchez-Heasley

Get prepared for the review of “Harriet” written by Kasi Lemons and Gregory Allen Howard and staring Cynthia Eriveo, Janell Monoe and Leslie Odom Junior.

This was a great movie. The acting was realistic and touching. It was based on a true story about a woman named Harriet Tubman who saved many slaves

from captivity. The plot line kept me on the edge of my seat. I recommend this to people who are at least 12 years old. The language is the only thing that is concerning.

The plot of Harriet it is a love story filled with twists and turns. It is also a story about using her disappointment to do something good. During the first half Harriet is focused on saving herself and her future husband from slavery. When that relationship does not work out she decides to focus on saving her family and friends. At one point she is on the side of a bridge and has to decide whether she jumps off or goes back to slavery.

The story of Harriet is incredible. She is a very powerful character for her effort of trying to abolish slavery. She is very prominently solidified in our history. People would sometimes joke about her being a man because she was so tough. The movie appears to be historically accurate. There are some websites at the end that can help you to learn more about the real Harriet Tubman.

In conclusion, I think this movie was an astonishing, spectacular five out of five. Harriet Movie Review. FIVE STARS: Mild language, racial language.

Movie Magic: “Prisoner of Azkaban”

By Caroline Osborne

The movie I watched recently was Prisoner of Azkaban. I would rate the movie a 9/10. I think it was really good but there were some questionable things that happened that I do not understand.

My favorite parts were seeing the town of Hogsmeade, including the candy shop, and watching Harry and Hermoine time travel to save Haggrid’s pet, Buckbeak. The candy shop reminded me of a candy shop I go to in Franklin. It was like they were having a normal life for a minute instead of dealing with dementors or He Who Shall Not Be Named. Saving Buckbeak was great because I love animals. Any movie with animals is something I like to watch.

I was very confused how Scabbers, Ron’s rat, could change back into a rat without someone casting a spell on him. Sirius cast a spell on Scabbers to show Harry that he was Peter Pettigrew and the one who betrayed his parents. The spell turned Scabbers from a rat into a human, but then Peter Pettigruew escaped because he turned himself back into a rat and ran away. I could tell by Scabbers always running away from Ron so why did he not turn back into a human because he could not.

Another part of the movie I questioned was when the Minister of Magic was at Haggrid’s Hut to kill Buckbeak who was tied up outside. After talking to Haggrid, he carne outside and didn’t see

Buckbeak. He said “I saw the beast just now. Just not a moment ago.” but he somehow didn’t see Harry and Herrnoine who were luring him with dead ferrets.

Overall, the movie is one of my favorites in the Harry Potter Series. I would recommend this to my friends even though there were a few questionable moments of magic.

Movie Magic: “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”

By Aiden Dale Leveranz

My review is on “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” This movie is the second Aquaman movie and is about Aquaman fighting the king of the lost kingdom and he even had to fight the side villain of the first movie, black manta. There were other obstacles too. Like black manta’s henchmen. The acting was fantastic and hilarious. Like when Aquaman’s brother ate the cockroach. Or how that crab guy was complaining about his arm. But the acting was very profound. Like how king Nereus had to learn to trust Aquaman’s brother and that is a great part of the movie. How it can be heart touching and funny. It was also fantastic how they put characters from the first movie in too. There are so many things I loved about this movie. Like when they did the history of Kordax’s trident I was so excited. They put so much work into it and I very much appreciated that. The humer, the acting, all of it. I loved it

But in my opinion there are things I would change like the fact that near the end in the fight against Kordax all it took was one strike from Aquaman’s trident and he was defeated. Also they could have given us a cut scene that could reveal who might be the villain for the next movie like Kordax might have survived or black manta. They also could have done more with everything.

I would recommend this to DC fans as it is very good. But there are more characters that I wanted to see. Like the Karathen or the trench. In my opinion I would rate it a 8/10. But it was disappointing. I really wanted to see more power from Kordax’s trident. Through the movie I was so excited to see the final fight so when that happened I was very disappointed near the end. I mean the sonic cannon was stronger. But still I can’t wait for the next movie. If there is a next one. Also they could have gotten him an upgrade to fight Kordax. But anyway that is my review for “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”

Movie Magic: ”SpongeBob”

By Cayce Michael Humphrey

My review for the “SpongeBob” movie is this I liked that they had super powers and they described almost everything and a lot

of dialogue and numerical detail is what I noticed the most and I like the characters themselves.

What could have been better is that it wasn’t as real as it could have been and it was a little bit cartoony as I was watching and it could have been a little bit better but it was ok.

The acting was REALLY good and it couldn’t have been better except SpongeBob and Patrick did mess up their lines once or twice it was almost unnoticeable but he messed it up just a little too much.

The music was ok oh did I say ok I ment AMAZING it went perfectly it was absolutely perfect nothing could have been better it was the best music ever.

So that concludes my movie magic essay and I would definitely recommend this to anybody that wants to watch it.

Movie Magic: “Just Add Magic”

By Anthonee Herald

This is about “Just Add Magic,” a magical, twisted, fun-filled movie about a mysterious magic cookbook.

This is what I like about this movie. I love the magic, the mysteriousness and how it’s twisted. At first everybody thought that mama P/ Ida Perez was the villain but it was actually Chuck Hankins. After the three protectors got chuck out of the way the villain changed into one of the protectors, Kelly Quinn!

This is about how it could be better. It could be better if Chuck and Ida worked together and were both the villains and if they explained how Chuck turned bad because in 1992 he was good but then he turned bad and cooked an immortality spell. Rose, Chuck’s sister, sacrificed herself for Chuck’s immortality spell by getting trapped in the book and Hannah, another one of the protectors almost got trapped in the book too.

The acting and the music was great. It was really good. I would totally recommend this to all of your friends. The book ends up leaving the protectors and starts a new journey just add magic mystery city. In mystery city the new three protectors are Zoe, Leo and Ish. That is my review about just add magic.

Movie Magic: “Finding Nemo”

By Roxie Davis

“Finding Nemo” is AMAZING! I think that it was a really great movie. Some things that I thought was great about the movie was the voice acting, and the plot of the story was good. Even though it seems like a kids movie it is really good.

First the voice acting, when Marlin was talking it really sounded like a stressed father. Also when Dory was talking it did sound like she was perplexed and really sounded like she forgot about something

that just happened or something years and years ago, and Nemo did really have good expression and his kid sound like a kid so did the rest of his kid friends. So that shows that the voice acting was really amazing!

Next, the plot of the story is really entertaining! It is a very heartfelt story, and you can really see how much the dad loves his son and how much all of the family and friends care for each other. The love is more of caring for each other. How I know that is because the story is a son gets captured and the dad finds a new friend and they keep trying and trying to get to him, and when they finally do they still really care and the dad isn’t mad. That shows how the story is very loving.

Lastly, I thought that the animation was really great. Their countenances were like what they were feeling. Whenever Marlin was really stressed in the movie you could see on his face that he was really scared. Whenever Dory was like oh no she forgot something you could tell she was like oh no, oh no, oh no, and really scared. So I could really tell like, “oh no they’re worried” even though yes I could hear what he was saying, but it really insured me that he was actually scared. So he wasn’t talking and saying he was scared and his face looked like somebody just told him a really funny joke, and it was vise versa and their faces matched what they were saying. So that shows how I think that the animations of Finding Nemo was really amazing.

So I think all of that added up shows that Finding Nemo is a really amazing great movie. So does a parent review on Commonsensemedia.org, and he gave it five stars and he said “The greatest animated movie of all time; a fun adventure for all age group “and much, much, much more. It’s definitely a must watch, so you should go and watch Finding Nemo.

Movie Magic: “Here Comes the Boom”

By Harris Beck

Creekside Elementary

Have you ever seen the movie “Here Comes the Boom”? In my opinion there are a few things that could have been improved about the movie. So here is what I have to say about it.

The first thing that could have been improved is when the principal stole all the hard earned money from the teachers. They were earning all of the money from martial arts competitions. It wouldn’t be fun to get $48,000 stolen from all of the fighting you’ve done. That is the first thing that could’ve improved about it. The main character in the movie, Kevin James, has also been filmed in other movies like “Home Team” and “Paul Blart Mall Cop”. All 3 of the movies mentioned are very humorous. They are also a fun

family movie night pick. Overall, the acting was pretty good.

The music was also great. I think the music was in the right place at the right time. As soon as the two opponents were walking up to the ring, they started to play their music. And when the mood changed, the music changed with it too. When the scene is happy you don’t want sad music playing when you’re really happy. That is what I think about the music in this movie.

I would definitely recommend this movie to some of my friends because most my friends like what this movie is about. The action of martial arts combined with the high level of humor makes a very entertaining movie to watch. Kevin James is a very funny actor. This is why I would recommend this movie to friends.

These are my thoughts on what could have improved, how the acting and music was, and why I would recommend this movie to a friend. So in conclusion, this is what my thoughts were about “Here Comes the Boom”.

Movie Magic: “The Grinch”

By Rachel Thenhoi

I really like the cartoon movie “The Grinch.” The movie is about a little girl Cindy Lou who is helping the Grinch to have a bigger heart. Something that can be better is the Grinch’s attitude to his dog Max. I think the music and the plotline were good. I would recommend this movie to all my friends. I rate this movie a 10/10!

Barger

If I were the president, I would help people to find a good job so they could work and be happy. I would have to do a lot of work and make sure that all the paperwork is right. My brother Christian could help me by being my vice president. Sometimes he helps me and I help him. If I was a president, I would help people who fell down to get back up again. I would also help pets because a president has to help. I think I would be a good president.

By Ivan Woods

If I were president, I would make a holiday called, “Bring Your Pet to Work

Day.” I think a lot of people would like it because for example working at Dairy Queen the pet could walk around and the customers could pet the animals. A lot of people would be happy! Some good pets to bring to a fast food restaurant would be a dog, so it can walk around and the customers could pet it if they wanted. A hamster is also a good pet to bring because the owner could put the hamster on the counter and if the customers get lucky, they could see him run on his wheel! This would be my first job as president, to make this a holiday. If I were president, I think a lot of people will be happy with my choices.

Commander in Chief

By Adriana Xolo

Hello, my name is Adriana and I am the president. I want to tell you some new rules now that I am in charge. First, no littering, no more rude sisters or brothers, no more saying bad words, and everyone must be nice! These rules are important and are for everyone. Sisters and brothers, you must try your best at school and other places. You should never give up and always try your best. No littering is an important rule to make our world a better place. In the end, if you follow the rules, I will be happy and you will be very happy, too! But if you do not follow the rules, I will be very mad. My name is Adriana and as the president, I want everyone to be happy and do their best.

Commander in Chief

By Anna Boone

If I were president, I would make the world a better place. Everything would be free because I would pay for it. Everyone would be kind to each other. I would talk to everyone and help them to be happy. I would make sure that everyone could play and have fun. People would be creative and help each other. I would be a good president.

Movie Magic: “Home Alone”

By Nathan Thenhoi

Have you seen the movie “Home Alone”? I really like that movie! I really like how throughout the movie “Home Alone” was funny. My favorite scene in the movie was when the creepy neighbor popped behind the bad guys and hit them on the head with a shovel. I enjoyed the whole movie mostly the music. It was a good movie with some mystery. I would recommend this movie to my friend because it is a good movie.

Movie Magic: “The Super Mario Bros Movie”

By Yohit Kannan

“The Super Mario Bros Movie” is a 3D animated movie based on the Mario video

game. Mario and Luigi, the plumbing brothers, go to save Brooklyn by trying to fix a broken pipe but end up in a secret passage. Luigi is taken to the Dark Lands and Mario goes to the Mushroom Kingdom. With the help of Toad and Princess Peach, Mario fights Donkey Kong, earning their army to fight with Bowser, and finally saves Luigi and the Mushroom Kingdom. The Dark Kingdom was scary and creepy, whereas the Mushroom Kingdom and the Kong Kingdom were fun with roller coasters. I also liked the Rainbow Road in the movie.

Overall, the movie was interesting and the adventures were fun to watch. I also learned that “As long as we are together nothing can hurt us.” You must see the movie if you’re a Mario fan.

Movie Magic: “Secret Life of Pets 2”

By Maverick Reed

“Secret Life of Pets 2” is one of my favorite movies. It has some funny parts in it. It is kind of an old movie. I have seen this movie many times. It is my favorite movie. In my opinion it is a very good movie. I have been watching the movie for a few years now. I know most of the characters. The main character is Max. Fun Fact! There are more than five dogs in the movie. The movie is about one hour long. Max the main character is a white dog with brown dots. Max is a small but also a big dog. Fun Fact Number 2! There are more dogs than cats in the movie.

In my opinion, this movie is better than the first one. Max kind of looks like my dog. In the movie, there is a cat named Chloe that kind of looks like my cat. If you are looking for a great movie then you need to watch “Secret Life of Pets 2”!

Movie Magic: “A Whisker Away”

By Aislin Roell

My favorite movie is “A Whisker Away” because it is about cats. My brothers say it’s weird but I love it! It is about this girl who is probably thirteen or twelve. It is about this girl who hates her life and there is this human cat guy and he is called The Mask Seller. The Mask Seller sells masks that turn humans into cats and cats into humans. If the human wants to be a cat forever The Mask Seller takes the humans mask and gives them a cat mask. And if a cat wants to be a human forever, The Mask Seller takes the cat’s mask and gives them a human mask. The girl’s name is Muge. She has a cat named Kinako.

I like that in the end, Muge refuses to let go of her human life and turns into a cat forever. This movie teaches you to be happy with what you have. I think that this is a good movie and everyone should see it.

Movie Magic: “Star Wars”

By Grant Warmoth

I would like to tell you about my favorite movies, the Star Wars movies. There are a lot of Star Wars movies and I like all of them. Sometimes I watch movies with my brother and he likes Star Wars, too. I would not change anything about any of the Star Wars movies because I like them so much! I like it when they fight with the lightsabers. I think it looks really cool! My favorite character is Yoda. He is really smart and always helps all the Jedi’s know what to do. I like how the characters all have different personalities and they find ways to work together.

I would recommend that people see all the Star Wars movies because they are all so good.

Movie Magic: “The Lion King”

By Lanie Welsh

“The Lion King” is one of my favorite movies. One thing I like is when King Simba is sitting on Pride Rock when the other lions are sleeping. I like the liveaction and the cartoon Lion King. I like the colors in the skies when they have sunsets and sunrises in the movie. I would change how the monkey looks. I think he should wear a banana peel hat, shorts, and a shirt that looks like a jacket. I would recommend this movie for other people to watch this movie because it’s a lot of fun to watch.

Movie Magic: “Demon Slayer”

By

Vung Ngaih

I love the “Demon Slayer” movie. I have seen this movie a lot of times and I know a lot of the words. It is a really good movie and I think everyone should watch it. If you don’t like fighting movies, you might not like this movie. It has a lot of funny parts and a lot of adventure. It is my favorite movie to see.

Movie Magic: “Alice in Wonderland”

By Coraline St. John

The most recent movie I watched was “Alice in Wonderland.” What I liked most about the movie was when Alice ate too much of the growing cake and she got too tall! I also liked it when the chess pieces went to war against the card soldiers. The reason I like these parts is because I think they are very funny and crazy. What I think could have been better was if they had shown why the red queen’s head was so big and why the red queen was so mad. I personally think that the acting was awesome and the music was even better! The plotline was amazing and I would

recommend this to my friends because I think they would like it. I look forward to watching this movie again!

Movie Magic: “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”

By Lilah Kendall

I am going to write about the Mario Movie because I thought it would be a good movie to review. I really like the Mario Movie. My favorite part is when the dog tries to attack Mario and Luigi, Something that could’ve been better is Princess Peach’s dresses. The ice dress i okay, but it could’ve been better. I think both the fire and regular dress were just too plain. I would definitely recommend this movie for kids. There is a part where the dog tries to attack. I guess that might be scary for some little kids. This is what I think of “The Super Mario Bros Movie.” Also, I think adding the toads was a cool bonus.

Commander in Chief

By Isabella Morgan

If I were president, the first thing I would do is to hold a meeting so I can solve people’s problems that way the world can live in peace. There are many problems in the world. I want to change it. You see every time I drive with my mom I look out the window to see a homeless man and every single time we pass by I see more cars just pass by. My mom is nice so she always gives them stuff to help out. As the president, a.k.a me Isabella, I must be focused more on the world than on me. I will make laws that will help the people in need and make the world a better place so that way my country can live in peace. This is why I want to be the president.

Commander in Chief

By Betty Butler

If I got the chance to run for president, here’s why you should vote for me. If I were president, I would be smart so that I can remember all the important numbers, names, and dates. If I were president I would make students at school very happy by making school open at 9:00 a.m. and close at 2:00 p.m. so students can spend more time with their families. If I were president, I would be super kind so people could trust me. That is why you should vote for me to be president.

Commander in Chief

By Ruby Gruner

If I were president, the things I would do

are: lower prices, spread more kindness, and make more city buses. One, lower prices so people with little money can have their needs met. Food and water are some needs you need. Two, cities need more buses, so people that have no cars can still have transportation. Three, presidents need to be kind. Kindness is important so people treat me with kindness and I always treat each and every person with kindness. I think everyone should treat others with kindness. This is why I could be a great president.

Commander in Chief

By Jeremiah Renken

I think I would make a great president for a lot of reasons. One thing I would do if I was president is figure out what the people want and I would help them with it. For example, I would help get stores refilled or machines working faster. If I was president, I would have to know how big of an area I would have to lead. I would get a vice president to help me lead. I would have to help out with people, businesses, and any other things people need help with. For example, I would give some money to businesses, schools, and parks so they can pay for things easier. Those are the things I would do if I was president.

Commander in Chief

By Luke Warmoth

I believe that a president should be clever because if the president is clever he can get out of sticky situations with the government. I think a president is caring, then fewer people will be going to court and getting arrested because they will understand the laws. You have to be honest because if you are not honest people will not like you.

Commander in Chief

By Jack Woods

If I was president I would have to do a lot of stuff. For example, I would have to give a lot of speeches. If I didn’t give any speeches, how would I inform the public to keep them updated on the big stuff I do? Another thing I would have to do is math. I mean if I didn’t do math, then how could I do my work? Also, I would have to be able to make smart decisions. If I didn’t make the right choice, like allying with another country or not, then we could be in war. There are so many qualities that I have that would make me a great president!

Commander in Chief

By Lucilia Dowell

I think I would be a great president because I’m a hard worker, I’m nice, and honest. The president has to be kind. If the president is not kind, then people will

not vote for him or her. The president has to be a hard worker and if they’re not, then they’re probably a bad president. Presidents should be honest about everything and everyone because if the president is not honest then we know what the president is lying about and what the president is keeping secrets from us. That would make people unhappy. That’s what a good president should be like.

Commander in Chief

By Presley Kindell

If I was president, the first thing I would do in the position is lower prices. I would lower prices because in this economy, things are pretty expensive and a lot of people can barely afford food for themselves. Next, I would make baby products and water free. I would make baby products free because there are a lot of struggling parents who have to take care of their babies. I would make water free because water is needed to survive and a lot of deaths could be avoided if water and baby food were free. The last thing I would do is change school hours to 9 a.m.

- 3 p.m. because that would give students more time to sleep. Waking up at six to seven a.m. every morning is very tiring and you need a good amount of sleep to function right and do your best at school. Those are all of the things that I would change if I were president.

Commander in Chief

By Alex Gilliam

All presidents should have these three good qualities bravery, power, and smarts. Bravery, you have to be super brave like Abe Lincoln. He signed the Declaration of Independence and was a very brave man. Power, you need power for this job because you could get disrespected very wrongly. People like your guards, government, or people in general will be hard on you. Smarts, you need to be smart because you just have to have smarts. If you don’t have smarts, you will not know what to do, but I have the smarts. I think have all the smarts because I am a great candidate to be president.

Commander in Chief

By Isaiah McKee

If I were the president, I would be the best ever! I would try to cure sicknesses like cancer or Covid, because illnesses can make you very sick and I want people to be healthy. If I were president, I would change the law so that it’s illegal to smoke because smoking can cause lung failure and we don’t want that to happen. If I were president, I would give money and food to homeless people because they need resources to survive and helping people is a good thing to do. If I were the president, I would be the best!

Movie Magic: “Wonka”

By Carly Kirkwood

There are a ton of movies but I’m writing about the new Wonka Movie and some of my opinions about it. My first opinion is the songs are super good and catchy. I watched the movie like four weeks ago, they’re all still in my head. My favorite song is when Wonka gets up on a table and starts dancing and singing. My second opinion is that some parts of the movie were boring, like when he just went huh...huh. The guy who played Willy did that like ten times throughout the movie, it was like just move on. But that’s just my opinion about it. My final opinion is about my two favorite actors and why they are. My first favorite actor is the guy who plays the main Oompa Loompa. He’s super funny! My second favorite actor is the girl who plays Noodle in the movie. She is super kind and sometimes a bit funny. Those are all of my opinions about the new “Wonka” movie.

Movie Magic: “Wall-E”

By Deacon Lankford

I think that “Wall-E” is a very good movie and here are three reasons why. The main plot is the best thing about the movie because of how different it is from other movies. Most movies are super simple like the supervillain does something bad and the superhero saves the day, but “WallE” is different than other movies. The graphics are very good considering that “Wall-E” was made in 2001. I know that it wasn’t that long ago, but still. That is why I think that “Wall-E” is the best movie!

Movie Magic: “Hercules”

By Delaney Mitchell

The movie I want to write about is “Hercules” because it is my favorite Disney movie. Hercules was stolen as a baby from his parents by Hades. A woman and a man found him on earth and when he got older they told him that they were not his real parents and he went to go look for his real parents. I think the animation on Hades’ hair is okay, but I think they need to make his hair more realistic like actual fire. The plot was amazing! So was the music I think there should be a second one. I really recommend this movie. That’s why I wanted to write about “Hercules.”

Movie Magic: “Walk, Ride, Rodeo”

By Mallory Shepard

I think that “Walk, Ride, Rodeo” is a sad and amazing movie. One reason why I picked “Walk, Ride, Rodeo” is because it’s about a 17-year-old girl who was driving to college and drove off the road, she got in an accident but lived. Another reason I picked this movie is because she used to ride a horse before she crashed, but

somehow she was able to ride a horse with no working legs. The last reason is that when she was in the hospital, she inspired a lot of people to keep working when they felt like they should give up. This proves that “Walk, Ride, Rodeo” is a sad and amazing movie.

Movie Magic: “Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie”

By Scarlett Sunday

I think that “Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie” is one of the best movies. I liked it when Abby got the animatronics to turn on William because making a picture is very cool and unique! The acting was amazing. I LOVED the music that played for the credits, the movie was great, the plot was interesting, and the filming was perfect. Overall, I would recommend this movie to my friends! I think the way the animatronics found out that William hurt them could have been better. Finding out by a picture is kind of kinda weird but unique! The FNAF movie is one of the best movies.

Movie Magic: “Turning Red”

By Elanah Girardot

I think people should watch “Turning Red” because people could really benefit from it. I think it could have gone better if she got rid of her panda instead of keeping the panda. I love the part where her mom turns into the big panda and attacks in her panda form. That is why everyone should watch “Turning Red.”

Westwood Elementary third grade teacher: hayli habig

Commander in Chief

By Julia Adams

If I were president, I would wake up and say to myself how can I make a difference today? I will be kind and loving. I will take my job seriously. Presidents need to be brave, smart, trustworthy, and truthful. Also, there are some jobs when you are a president that you always have to do. One is that you always have to be there on time. You can never be late and you can never have your privacy. Security will always be at your side that would be annoying. Also, you have to treat all your citizens exactly the same, very nicely. A president has to have fun instead of sitting on the computer reading or something just writing. You have to go get some Starbucks. Maybe have a Super Bowl party and invite all your friends that would be awesome. There would be a lot that you would have to do. I want to become a president to help people. I think it would be hard but kind of fun to be the president. Do you want to become a president?

Commander in Chief

By Ashlyn Pollard

If I were president I would do cool stuff for kids. Instead of buses, I would get limos for kids to go to school and back home. I will provide trampolines to all P.E. classes. Under my leadership, no one would go hungry and no one would be poor. All teachers in the USA would get pay raises. If I were president, I would try to make the entire world a better place!

Commander in Chief

By Galilea Cortes Arroyo

Have you ever dreamed of seeing the Earth from space? I bet you do! Like you, I dream of seeing the first female president of the United States. If I was the president of the United States, I would be kind to people. I want to be part of the great women in history! I want to be like Rosa Parks, fighting for the rights of the minority. I want to be like Dolores Huerta, like how she fought for the rights of many farmer workers in the year of 1916. If I was the president of the United States I would make a difference.

Commander in Chief

By Maddox Schwab

What should a president be? A president should be intelligent and kind. The president has to lead us. Here is a fun fact, there have been 46 presidents. I could be the 54th president in 2056! If I were president, I would put more trash bins on the beach to save the animals. I would donate 10,000 dollars to charity. I would want people to get along. I would get to fly on a private jet to help people.

Movie Magic: “Bluey”

By Lylah Hockersmith

Bluey is my favorite thing to watch. It’s about two girls who do everything they put their mind to. The life lesson of Bluey is that “Have fun all the time even in the hard times.” The two girls are Bingo and Bluey. Even though Bluey is blue and Bingo is orange, they still have so much fun together. Another life lesson is that “Even when you’re different from others still play with them.”

One of my favorite episodes is when her family and she are camping and Bluey meets a new friend, but his new friend doesn’t speak his language, but they draw pictures so they can understand each other. That is why I love Bluey so much! Bluey and Bingo are great influences and everyone should watch it.

Movie Magic: “Matilda”

By Emersyn Neumann

I like the movie Matilda! Matilda is a young girl who has wealthy parents who are just not right or nice to her. Every other parent thinks their baby is a miracle,

Junior Journal 2024

but her parents just think she is just a little thing they don’t like. Matilda is a smart little girl who sometimes says, “Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty to put it right.” Her parents have a meeting with her teacher Miss Honey and Miss Honey. Miss Honey lets the kids make books and they listen to Miss Honey read some books. The next day Matilda goes to school and she does the a, b, c’s and Miss Honey passes out books and they read together. Every day Matilda goes to the library to tell the librarian a story about an acrobat and an escapologist. The next school day, Matilda has to go to the Trunchbowls classroom. The Trunchbowl gives her class how to spell words. Right after that Miss Honey adopts Matilda and the school becomes a friendly happy school. The End.

Movie Magic: “The Mandalorian”

By Rylee Corbett

On June 15th I watched “The Mandalorian” movie and I would highly recommend this movie to all my friends. The movie had action, and comedy, and kept me on the edge of my seat. My favorite part was when the Mandalorian and baby Yoda landed on the abandoned planet. The acting made me forget I was even watching a movie. Even better was how real baby Yoda looked. That was important because he is my favorite character. If you get the chance to see this movie, I would highly recommend going to see it. You won’t regret it!

Movie Magic: “The Descendants 3”

At the beginning of the movie, Mal and Uma do not like each other. Mal and her group of friends and Uma and her group of friends were enemies and always wanted to fight. When Audrey stole the crown and the evil scepter, she became more powerful. She was stronger than Mal, and Uma knew what they had to do. They had to learn to look past their differences so they could work together and beat Audrey.

I liked seeing them work together and become friends! I truly don’t think they could have done anything better in this movie. The acting was so good, that I forgot they aren’t real people- they are characters! The music is so much fun, and they all have the most beautiful singing voices. I would love to be a singer when I grow up and hope to be as good as they are! I bet the people filming the movie had so much fun! They were up and down and left and right, moving all around.

The movie was bright, colorful, and full of so much action! I feel like the people filming it were exhausted by the end of filming. I would recommend Descendants 3 to my friends because I think they would

love it! It’s bright and colorful, it has music that is fun to dance and sing along with, you get to watch enemies become friends and it’s just magical!

Commander in Chief: Important qualities for presidents

By Eden Frye

Did you know that President James Madison, was the shortest president in U.S history at only 5 feet 4 inches tall? As you may know, in 2024, our country is electing a new president. An important thing to look at is what are the candidate’s qualities and what are their good qualities to compare and contrast to the other candidates. I think good qualities for a new president would be having vision for our people and communities, and empowering others.

First of all, having vision is important because looking out for our people and communities is the most honorable, and important duty a president can do. Achieving success begins with our leader having vision for our futures and how they can make the whole community’s lives better and improve whatever situation you may have. Vision in a leader can spark vision in another person to act justly for our country, and act with purpose. A president with vision can then assure the people that everyone is working toward a common goal; helping our country grow, and flourish. A president having vision would add focus to our president’s life so they can do their duty, and we can do duty, supporting our president. Our future president having vision can help them prioritize their goals, and duties to our country.

Second of all, being the United States president is a privilege and an honor, but a good president does things to help the country and empower its citizens as well. The people should be the first thing that comes to mind when the current, or future president is making an important decision, and asking themselves, “Will this decision benefit my country, and my people?” A good president listens to their people’s opinions and acts on them. A president that empowers others doesn’t ignore their country’s problems, they fix them. A president should accept ideas from the public and boost the country’s morale so that the president can keep the people on their side, and keep them from wondering if our president is doing a good job and how it is benefiting our country.

In conclusion, these qualities are good for a future president to have so that you know that you and your relatives are safe with this president and that they will keep

you safe. I hope that this text helped you this year to help you pick the person that you think can represent our country well, and uphold the great name of America!

Commander in Chief: Qualities for a good U.S president

By Rosemary McBeth

Did you know George Washington was the first U.S. president? Speaking of presidents, some people think that a president should have certain qualities and I’m one of those people. I have two qualities that I would like to share with you today. I believe that the next president of the United States should be someone that has integrity and is always communicating.

First of all, being truthful and strong are qualities that are what we need in a good leader. I believe that the next president should have integrity because we need an honest and strong leader. I think that a president like Donald Trump would be best not just because my family likes him but because he will talk to us and will tell us the plans he made for the future. He isn’t our president yet but he tells us his plans and how he will make our government better and we need someone just like him. I also think that our next president should be strong. There are different types of “strong” like strong in faith or strong like they won’t back down during hard situations.

Second of all, communication is one of the most important qualities. I believe that the next U.S. president should always communicate with the people of the U.S. so we can know what’s going on in our country. I believe this because we need to know our leaders’ plans and we also need to know what’s going on so we can help our economy. The reason I think communication is important is because I wouldn’t want to be thrown in jail for some rule I didn’t know about. So, that’s why I think communication is the most important quality for a president to have, so we can have a good government.

In conclusion, integrity and communication are two of the most important qualities for the next U.S. president to have. I think the only way we could have a good government is if we have a president with these qualities. Many people may not agree with me but some might so if you do please vote for someone like Trump to run the United States. Integrity and communication are the qualities I’m going to stick with to know if we have a good leader for the United States.

Commander in Chief: What the 47th president of the U.S.A. should be like

By Judah A. Herndon

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was 6 feet, 4 inches (1.9 meters), making him the tallest U.S. president? This year a new

president is going to be elected. A president should have some very particular qualities. I believe that the next president of The United States of America should display honesty, should be respectful of other people and should be stubborn.

First of all, I believe that the next president of the United States should be honest. I believe this because the U.S. needs someone that they can trust. If they lie frequently, how will we know when they tell the truth? Honesty is one of the most important and best traits of a president.

Second of all, I believe that the next president should also be respectful of other people. I believe this because after all, we all are human beings. Also, if the president is respectful, people will respect them and like them more. No one wants to be stuck with someone they don’t like for four years. And if they’re good enough, they might get a chance for another four years. Respectfulness is another great trait of a good president.

Third of all, believe it or not, I believe that the president should be somewhat stubborn. This will benefit the whole country because if the U.S. gets in a disagreement with another country, our president will be able to work it out.

For these reasons, if the U.S. wants a good president, get an honest and respectful one. It is best that the next president of the U.S.A. should have these traits: honesty, respect, and stubbornness. Man, I wish I could vote.

Commander in Chief: Good qualities in a president

By Zoey Bagwell

Did you know that the youngest person to ever become president in the United States was Theodore Rosevelt at just age 42? He actually was the only president that served as president for more than 3 terms. In 2024 there will be another presidential election for our new president. People have different opinions on what qualities a good president should have. However two good qualities that I believe the next president of the United States should have is being loyal and also being Respectful to others.

First of all, I think that the next president of the United States should be very loyal. If our next president is loyal then they will stick by their country’s side and help them through hard times like wars and disagreements with other countries. Most people believe that Abraham Lincoln was a loyal president because he was so loyal. Most people like him because he was such a loyal leader. I think that if our next president is loyal then they will be very good for our country and people will like them.

Next, I believe that our next president should also be really respectful. I think

that if our president is respectful then they will get along with other countries’ presidents and important leaders if they are respectful. Respectful leaders are usually liked by their countries which means that they might get elected for president again and that would make people even more happy. I believe that our next president should be respectful to other people because it will help our country and make us stronger.

In conclusion, there are a lot of qualities that a good president should have. But I still think that they should be respectful and loyal to other people. Being this way will help others to like them more and have more respect for our president of the United States. It will also help them get along with other important leaders and presidents. People like to be around others who are respectful and loyal to them. That means that people will like them and be happy with them.

Commander in Chief: Qualities for a new president

By Julia Chin

Did you know that President John Tyler has fifthteen kids? In America, the election for a new U.S. president is going to be happening soon. For Americans this is going to be very important. Voting for a new president in the U.S. may be challenging. I believe the next president should be responsible and take leadership.

First of all, a quality for a president should be responsibility for their actions whether they are right or wrong. Being responsible is a big thing you should notice in someone, especially in a new president. For example, if a president were to do something without taking responsibility over it. People may be confused about what happened and say fake rumors. So a president needs to take responsibility and clear things up. This reason is why a quality for having a new president should be having responsibility.

Second of all, a quality a president should have is taking leadership. Leadership is extremely important for a new president that will be in charge of the United States. Also a president should be a good leader and role model to others. This is because many people may want to be just like a president. So the president should be a good leader and helpful to others around the world. A leader also should lead people the right way. They could do this by helping people quit horrible things they do to themselves. They also should help others around the world and give motivation to others.

In conclusion, the next time you decide to vote for a new president you should make sure they are responsible, and take leadership. So be careful when voting for

a new president because they’re the one who is gonna be in charge of the United States. You should think beforehand when voting a president and make sure you want them to really be president. I believe the president should be responsible and take leadership.

Commander in Chief: Qualities that every good president should have

By Silas Haston

Did you know that James Madison never weighed over 100 pounds? In 2024 people are getting ready to elect the next president of the United States. I believe that a good and honorable U.S president should have the qualities of honesty and compassion. Some presidents are worthy of these qualities and some are not quite able to measure up to these traits.

First of all, a good president should have a willing heart to tell the truth any time they have to. If a president does not have honesty, then they would be making the wrong decisions, and hopefully they would not get elected as president. For example, in the bible it tells us to be truthful and not be hiding what is true. Everybody should be truthful whether or not they are a president or just a regular kid trying to not get in trouble.

Second of all, a good president should have compassion for anybody in need. Do you know how many people are in the streets and are homeless? There are a ton, and the next president that is going to be elected should care and be compassionate about these people in need. The president could start to encourage people to help too, by teaching them about Jesus, suggesting that they go to church, and giving the unfortunate ones food and water. Also, another way the president could be compassionate is to be merciful and not want to always do mean things. With a president acting like this, more people would be living in peace.

In conclusion, I believe that every president should have these two qualities of honesty, compassion, and much more. These traits will lead any president to success and help him/her to learn more about Jesus. With all of this, I hope everybody will vote for a president that is honest and compassionate.

Commander in Chief: President of 2024

By Merrin Brezko

Did you know that the first left-handed president was James Garfield, the 20th president of the United States of America? 2024 is a voting year, and we must choose a good president. A couple qualities that I believe the next president should have are gratefulness and generosity.

First of all, I believe that our president should be grateful. A president that is

grateful will not spend money for no good reason. If a president is grateful, then they will be more thankful for any gift or thing that they receive. A president that is grateful will most likely be grateful that they are president, therefore, they will be careful with what they do for our country.

Second of all, I believe that our president should be generous. If a president is generous, then they will spend money on things like food for a homeless shelter or blankets for an orphanage. A president that is generous might help people clean the environment or pay for more books in a library. Even the little things that a president does matters and will either build up or tear down their reputation. Somebody that is in the hospital or has a family member in the hospital probably wishes that someone will see them and help them. A generous president might help pay for people in the hospital’s surgery, medicine, or medical supplies such as a wheelchair or a heart monitor.

In conclusion, the United States of America’s new president should be grateful and generous. I believe this because if a president is grateful and generous then they will most likely be a very kind, loving, and caring president. A president that cares about the country will probably be a very good president. Help America be stronger and vote for a president that is grateful and generous.

Commander in Chief: Qualities the president should have

By Michael Collins

Did you know the first left-handed President was James Garfield? Did you know Voting time for president’s day is coming up in 2024? I think a president should have a few certain qualities. I believe that the next president of the United States should be honorable, and should be patient.

First of all, I think the president should be honorable because they should be truthful and trust others. Another reason they should be honorable is that the president should be because people will trust the president. Another reason is that they should be honorable because people wouldn’t rebel against the president. And another reason is the president should be honorable so people will believe in him and like the president. I also think that the president should also be honorable so people will trust him with everything that he does and they will trust him and vote for him more.

Last of all, I think the president should be patient because he will understand people more if he is patient with people. I also think the president should be patient so he can understand the needs of other people. I also think the president should be patient so he can take time to do the

right things at the right time. I also think the president should be patient so he can take his time to go to places and help those who are in need.

In conclusion, I think the precedent of the United States should be patient and honorable so people will not rebel against him, and will understand the needs of other people. Because president day is coming up, those are the qualities that the precedence should have so they can have a good life as the president. This is why I think the president of the United States should be honorable and patient.

Commander in Chief: Good qualities a president should have

By Caleb Cannon

Did you know that John F. Kennedy decided to race the Russians in an attempt to see who could make the first man go to the moon? In the year of 2024, we have to elect a new president for the United States. I believe the next president of the United States should have the two traits of excellent respect and being a smart leader. There are many reasons why they should be like this and have those special qualities.

First of all, if our president has respect, they will earn our trust. We could become a greater nation with the respect and care they have for our plants and animals. The four years we have this president they could do many things for the United States. Like help and lead us when we’re in danger. They could be the best president there has ever been. They would have so much support from us that they would try to get even better.

Second of all, we are all counting on the president’s leadership. The president is the one telling us what to do. If they have good leadership they will keep us safe from most things. If the president is not a good leader, we might believe the wrong stuff. Being thankful for the president is great. They could make better decisions on how to control America. The president can make good decisions if we show that we are thankful and grateful that they’re the leader.

In conclusion, the reason why being a smart leader, and having excellent respect is important because America is in their hands. If the president has those two traits then America could be better for us. Respect and leading are the two things that would make a better president.

Commander in Chief: Qualities a new president should have

By Nicolas Spiegel

Did you know the 39th president James Carter got a nickname ´´Jimmy``, while being sworn into office? I think in 2024 we should elect a new president that has the qualities of listening and trustworthiness

for our country and state. I believe a new United States president should have the qualities of listening and trustworthiness.

First of all, a new president should have a quality of listening to others. They should listen to what other people say and think. They should also listen to people who think differently and want a change to our rules and regulations. Also, if people need help with something the president can listen to help them. The new president should speak words of encouragement and make better plans for our country.

Second, the new president should be trustworthy. They should make sure that if something bad happens to our country like war that they do something about it. They should also not just go on vacation and spend their money on different things and not help our country. They can also lower prices of gas, food, and electricity bills.

In conclusion, they would be more likely to run for president again because they are a good listener and trustworthy to others. They can use time wisely to think of better plans for the United States of America. They should also have respect for others and be a good example of our state. I also think that it would be good if they were not strict to others and act like they rule the whole world. That’s why I think the new 2024 United States president should be a good listener of our country and the U.S.A.

Commander in Chief: Qualities of being president

By Carson Bik

Did you know that the first left-handed person was President James Garfield? In 2024, there will be a new election for a new president. I think that there should be qualities of being a president. I believe that the next president should be intelligent and trustworthy.

First of all, to be the next president you will need to be intelligent to make great decisions. You´ll also need to be wise to make your state improve. Also, you will need to be resourceful and sharp to be the next president. You´ll also have to be better at making the public fair and helpful, and taking your time slowly making it better bit by bit. Along with that you have to be organized and neat to keep it smooth. If you’re intelligent maybe you can make great deals with other people and make your state go up the charts.

Second of all, I think that another way to be the next president is to be trustworthy, to other people that you can work with. To be a great leader you must make yourself trustful to people so that they know you’re not a bad person. You’ll also have to be careful of people if they are trustful. They might scam you or do something worse.

For that reason you must be careful of the people you talk to, and make yourself trustful to other people so you can work with them.

In conclusion, these are one of the two ways but there are many other more ways to be president. Other people would disagree with me or agree with me. But, there are a lot of people that have many other reasons. But I think the qualities of being a great president is being intelligent and trustworthy.

Commander in Chief: The qualities the next president should have

By Cayden Fugate

Did you know that John F Kennedy was the first president on television? In 2024 people will be voting for a new president. I think that the next president of the United States should have the qualities of being a responsible person and an honest leader.

First of all, It is very important that the next president should be responsible. He or she should keep the laws in line. He/ she should make prices affordable, and he/she should keep the country safe. They should not mislead their people. He/she should also spend the money of America well. They should also make sure that if there is an attack on America that he/ she would help with the fight, like raising money for the battle. So that is the first quality a president should have, he/she should be a responsible leader.

Second of all, the next president of the United States of America should be an honest leader. He/she should be honest to his/her country. He/she should have an honest way to do things with our country like, keeping his promises to his country. He should also never tell lies to his country. So that is the second quality that the president should have, he/she should be an honest leader.

In conclusion, the next president of the United States of America should have the qualities of a responsible and honest leader. He or she should be a responsible or honest leader by always keeping his/ her promises, or help in a time of need. So that is what I think are the most important qualities that the next president of the United States of America should have.

Commander in Chief: A new U.S. president

By Elle Loos

Did you know that the 39th president, Jimmy Carter, was a peanut farmer? In 2024, we are going to elect a new president for the U.S. Over the years, there have been many great presidents, with incredible qualities about them. In order for the U.S to have another great president, I believe our next president should have logic and bravery as one of their best qualities.

First of all, I believe that the next president should be logical. I believe this because a logical person usually makes the right decision no matter how hard the situation is. I would also be able to trust a logical person with things like my money, food, education, and wars. For example, I would know that they would use my money on things that matter like, donating to charities or building schools.

Second of all, I also believe our next president should have some bravery to them. I believe this because, a brave person would not be afraid to choose the right thing even if it means something really bad will happen to them and their family. Brave people also tend to sacrifice themselves for other people, and believe our president should do that for his or her country. For example, if our country was in danger of being bombed, our new president, if they were brave, would figure out a way to save our country.

In conclusion, there have been many presidents with these qualities and more. Some U.S. presidents are good, and some are not so good. In order for our next president to make a great addition to the U.S., I believe they should be logical and a very brave person.

Commander in Chief: New president

By Elliette Music

Did you know that President John F. Kennedy was the first American president to appear on television to address the American people’s lives, without delay or editing? 2024’s new president should have qualities like responsibility, selfawareness, and honesty like President John F. Kennedy showed in that address.

First of all, the next president should have the qualities of responsibility, because when making a decision, and it’s all up to you, you would need to have the responsibility to get the right decision. You would also need responsibility to act like an adult, not a child. And responsibility is more than just not acting like a child, it’s like you’re more mature than you should be, or you help someone when you weren’t thinking to help them. So that’s why I think the next president should have responsibility.

Second of all, I think the next president should have self-awareness, because if you are in a situation and you have to make a decision then you would need self-awareness in that scenario. You would also need self-awareness, because when you are alerted to a problem, and when you have to make a solution you would need self-awareness to think of those things. Another thing is you need selfawareness to make sure to follow the Ten Commandments, and things like that.

Third of all, the next president should have qualities like honesty, because

the next president needs to be honest, everyone should be an honest person no matter what the scenario is. I think the next president should be honest, because if you lie to someone then you are not a good president, because everyone would trust you and everyone wants trust. I think everyone should have trust, and honesty, because it will help a lot in your life.

In conclusion, I think the next president should be responsible, self-aware, and honest. They would be a great president if they have qualities like that. If John F. Kennedy were to be president in 2024 then he would be a good one, because he shows all of those attributes. That is why I think that the next president should have qualities like John F. Kennedy.

Commander in Chief: Vote in the 2024 presidential election

By

Charlie Sloan

Did you know that James Madison was the lightest president at 100 pounds (45.4 kg)? This year we are electing a new president for 2024-2028. What are some qualities you think the next president should have? I believe that the next president should be respectful to the people of the USA and be a genuine person.

First of all, a president should be respectful. They should be respectful because people are going to have ideas and laws for them and if they turn them down immediately, people are not going to like them. If they take the time to listen and review it then they are respectful. When they are respectful other people will respect them. If they are disrespectful then they should not expect to get respect from us. No matter what, we should always be respectful, to our elders, parents, younger people, and especially our president, leaders, firefighters, and law enforcement. If you are respectful then people will respect you and your belongings.

Second of all, a leader should be genuine, they should be genuine because if they lie people will start to lose their trust in them. They should not lie, they should tell the truth and share their opinion with us. There have been multiple presidents that have lied or said something untrue just to be liked. The idea that some of these presidents have had about lying to be like just backfired on them. Things such as righets, most presidents have been caught lying. If a president lies they will probably not be trusted to lead our country. When you are voting make sure that you put thought into who you vote for. In conclusion, a president should be respectful, and genuine. We need to put a lot of thought into the next president. If the president lies, or isn’t respectful, then we should probably reconsider who we vote for. A president should not lie, he or she should be genuine. They also need to

be respectful if they aren’t respectful then why would they expect us to be? Even though

I’m too young to vote for a president, I have ideas, thoughts, and opinions I think people should consider. If I could vote for the next president I would look for certain qualities and put a lot of thinking into the vote. Please keep our country safe by voting for a president who has these qualities or someone that is smart and good at protecting our country.

Commander in Chief: Qualities of a president

By Charlie Weber

Did you know that the youngest president to be in office was Theodore Roosevelt at the age of forty-two? 2024 is an election year, meaning that on Presidents Day we will vote for a new president. Many great presidents have certain qualities that make them outstanding rulers. I think that the next president of the United States should be able to make bold decisions and should be trustworthy.

First of all, I think that the new president should be able to make bold and right decisions. If there is something important that has to be decided, presidents need to act fast. If this happens, they should need to be able to make a bold decision. If they can’t do that we would all be living dreadfully. If presidents even make one bad decision, their whole country could decline really fast. That is why it’s very important for presidents to be able to make correct decisions at the right time.

Second of all, presidents should be trustworthy. Presidents have to be able to be trusted. If they are not trustworthy no one would believe them when they make a statement. Also, if they could not be trusted, nobody would vote for them. While, on the other hand if a president was honest everyone should vote for them. They can lie their way into people voting for them by stating false information about themselves. This would then be bad because we would then have a bad president.

In conclusion, to be an exceptional president it is important that you have qualities to be a great president. We would dislike it if a president with no positive qualities got the role. That is why I think that the next president of the United States should be able to make bold decisions, and that they should be trustworthy.

Commander in Chief: Qualities of the next president

By Grace Tapp

Did you know that Presidents’ Day celebrates George Washington and Abraham Lincoln? In 2024 Americans will choose a new president. They must have qualities that make up a good president. I believe

that the next president should be honest and very reliable.

First of all, they should be very honest. They should be honest because citizens don’t want to be lied to. The president doesn’t just need to be honest to Americans, but also to the leaders of other countries. They must be honest to the vice president, governors, and other people that work for them.

Next, the president should be reliable, reliability is necessary in so many ways for the leaders of America. After all threehundred-million people are counting on the president for things like making laws to fixing potholes. They will also need to be reliable with wars and trying to avoid them and keeping Americans safe. Reliability is the most important quality for the next president of the United States to have.

In conclusion, the next president of the United States should be honest and very reliable. They must be very truthful to the vice president and Americans. They need to be reliable with wars and making laws. Let’s choose a great president, one who will lead us honestly and reliably.

Commander in Chief: The best qualities a president should have

By Hallie Hanson

As you should know, the USA has had many different presidents. In fact, there have been forty-six presidents. This year, there is going to be an election for people to vote who they want the next president to be for America. I look for these qualities in a president 1. They have to be fair 2.they have to be trustworthy.

First of all, the reason why I think a president should be fair is because we want someone who will be fair in the choices that they make for our country. Presidents should be fair and trustworthy people that take on a huge job of making the right choices. What happens when people aren’t fair? Bias happens. Bias is when different people have different opinions and usually, the result is people are treating others unfairly or fights start. And we don’t want that happening in our country.

Second of all, I think that presidents should also be trustworthy. I want someone that we can trust to make fair decisions. Another meaning of trustworthy is dependable. We have to depend on this person to make fair choices. I think that having a fair and trustworthy president is the right kind of president to have for any country.

In conclusion, there are many qualities to a president, but these are qualities that I thought a president should definitely have. I hope that our 47th president has those two qualities and makes a good president.

Commander in Chief: Our new president

By Hadley Willis

Did you know that John F. Kennedy was the first president to be shown on TV? It is the year of the election, and we need to select a new president for the United States. I think that you may need to realize that you want your new president to have. I believe that the new president of the United States should be respectful, and should be a good leader.

First of all, I think that they should learn to have some respect for us. The future president needs to be respectful, they need to be able to know how to present themself to their country. The next president should respect all kinds of people, but still tell them right from wrong. The president needs to be respectful to disagree and agree, they should be able to put you in the right place by telling you the truth. The president should be respectful to what they have, the White House and everything they get.

Second of all, I think that our new president needs to be a good leader. The president’s job is to give us rules to follow and teach us new things, so they need to be a good leader. The new president should lead you in the right direction, and tell you all the truth, and put you in the direction of success. They should not be shy, or worried because what they do we will want to follow.

In conclusion, the new president that is going to get voted for should have these two qualities of being respectful, and being a good leader. You should really think about who you are going to pick this year for your new president. You can even think about how you can be a good leader, and a respectful person. After this election with your voting I think we can have the respectful and and a good leader of a president that America deserves.

Commander in Chief: Leadership traits of a good president

By Gabriella Painter

Did you know that President’s day was established in the year of 1885 in honor of President George Washington’s Birthday? In the year of 2024 it is the US election for our president. In honor of this I am going to state two character traits that I think the next president should have. I believe the next president of the United States should be very intelligent and should be an extremely reliable person.

First, I think a president should have a high intelligence level so they can make good laws and know about the constitution with their intelligence. It is very important for them to have a high intelligence and study United States history, so they can know and base our laws on the constitution. A president needs to make very good decisions and laws for us to

trust and if they are very intelligent, and know what they are doing we can trust them more.

Next, I also think that our president should be reliable, so we can trust our president and know they can provide freedom for our country. It is VERY important that the president is reliable and fulfills our wants and our needs. The president needs to be reliable so we can trust them with what is good for the U.S citizens. I also think that the president needs to be reliable so we can trust them with our freedom that we earned in WW1.

Now in conclusion, after these facts and before the election, we can all hope the president can carry out all of these leadership traits. These are just a few of the many major needs of our country’s president. By doing these things I think that these few years starting in 2024 may be our best years!!!

Commander in Chief: Two qualities the president should have

By Hudson Heselbarth

Did you know Washington is the only slave-owning president who freed his slaves? 2024 is an Election Year. As the USA the presidents should have 2 qualities. And those 2 qualities the president should have are honesty and are a just leader.

First of all, I think the president should be honest. I think the president should be hornets because the president would tell the truth. He should be honest and lead to the truth of the United States the other presidents keep away. Now honesty leads to more loyal people, and that president would be known as a good president. One last reason is being an honest leader would help the United State. This is why I think the president should be honest.

Second of all, the president should be just. The president should be just because, if the president is just he would not abuse his power on the USA. Another reason why is, being just is if some say to make something illegal legal the president would say no and tell the man why. Being just leads to more truth about the United States. Also being just leads to good dissons and good decisions which leads to loyal people. This is why the president should be a just president.

In conclusion, 2024 is an Election Year. As the USA the presidents should have 2 qualities. And those 2 qualities the president should have are honesty and are a just leader. The reason is that being an honest leader can lead to a more trustworthy president. A reason the we should have a just leader is because a just leader would make good decisions

Commander in Chief: Qualities of a president

By Isaac Duncan

Did you know that President Abraham Lincoln was six feet , 4 inches, (1.9 meters), making him the tallest U.S. president of the United States of America. This year in 2024, we are going to be voting for a new president. As a result I am voting for this new president to be Honest about his words, and reliable to the public.

First of all, the next president should be honest to the public and truthful about his or her words. An honest president would tell the truth to everyone in the country. An honest president shouldn’t tell people about what they can and cannot do. Also a honest president should let the people have their own freedom to do what they want, as long as it isn’t against the law.

Second of all, the next president should be a reliable president. I think that the new president should be reliable because then the people can trust their new president. They can also trust their new president to do the right thing, and to also tell the truth. The new president should do the right thing so that people know that he or she is telling the truth.

In conclusion, I think that the new president should be honest about what he or she talks about. I also think that the new president should be reliable, because then the people will be able to trust their new president and know that he or she will tell the truth. All I want for our new president is that they are trustworthy, and in order for them to be trustworthy they have to tell the truth at all times. Who would you like to be president, and how do you want them to be like?

Commander in Chief: Commander in Chief: Qualities a president should have

By Ryder Helton

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was 6 feet, 4 inches tall, making him the tallest U.S. president? We are going to be selecting a new president in 2024. And I believe that the next president should be Honest, and should have Christian Faith.

First of all, I think the president should be honest because if the president is then more people would vote for them. More people would listen to them if they were honest and not lying. If the president did not lie then he could maybe be the next president. The president could be the next one after becoming the president because they are honest. If the president is honest more people would like them.

Second of all, I think the president should have Christian faith. Voters who believe in God would maybe vote for that president. More people would be happy if the president had Christian faith. If the president had Christian faith people would feel safe with that president. If the

president didn’t have Christian faith then they would get less voters. The president would get more voters if they did have Christian faith and would not have less votes.

In conclusion, this is why I think a president should be honest, and should have Christian faith. Presidents don’t have a lot of honesty they just lie so they can be the next president. If they want to be the next president they should have Christian faith.

Commander in Chief: Qualities a good president should have.

By Grant Spiegel

Did you know President John F. Kennedy was the first American president to appear on television to address the American people live without delay or editing? Well now in 2024 us United States citizens all over the country will vote for a new president, they will vote for who they think would be a good leader. I think a good president should have confidence and should show integrity to lead well.

First of all, I think a president should have confidence because they would be able to speak without being nervous, as some people get nervous while talking to a big crowd of people. They also would be able to confidently make good laws, and good thoughts and answers on things. I also think that they should have confidence to make the right decisions. The president should have confidence so that they could trust people when they say something that could be a law or rule, or when someone says something they could change they could be honest or have confidence to tell some other people if it’s a good idea to change something.

Second of all, I think that a president should have integrity because they would not lie, and soon be known for their trustworthiness. I also think they should have integrity because they would be able to be honest about things. They also would be able to hold back from cheating in anything. The president could have strong moral principles, which means that they could do the right thing even behind closed doors.

In conclusion, there are a lot of different qualities that presidents can have. Although I think that a good president should show these qualities. The qualities I think a good president should have are confidence and integrity.

Commander in Chief: Qualities of a president

By Samuel Schnake

President James Madison was the fourth President, and he is known as the “Father of the Constitution”. This year we are going to elect a new US president. I think that the new president should have some specific qualities .I believe that the

next president of the United States should be trustworthy to us and and is decisive.

First of all, I think that the next president should be trustworthy to us. We need to be able to trust them if someone tries to take our land, he or she needs to know what to do. We need to be able to trust them to make good decisions and not mess up quickly. We need to be able to trust them that they are telling us the truth if something happened. If we are about to get attacked the president needs to already have military support waiting

Second of all, we need the new president to be decisive. He or she needs to make quick decisions if, we ever get sneak attacked and a war starts. They need to immediately know what to do with the military, if we are getting attacked. He or she has to know what to do, how to do it, and how to get passed the situation. If someone was trying to spy on our country and we found out the president needs to make a quick decision without the spy finding out.

In conclusion, there is going to be a new president this year. And I think the new president should have a few specific qualities. I think some qualities the new president should have are being trustworthy to all of us and should be decisive at decisions. Those are some qualities I think the new president should have this year, what do you think?

Commander in Chief: Qualities the next President should have

By Samuel Thang

“Did you know that Warren Harding was the first President to visit Alaska and Canada?” In 2024, the United States will vote for the next president and I think the next president should have a Christian quality and should also make wise decisions.

First of all, I think the next president of the United States should have a Christian quality because if the next president doesn’t have Christian quality then the US would be doing worse things than they have ever done like breaking many laws or harming people. Then, The United States will fall apart. If the next President has a Christian quality then then the United States will change and they will stop doing bad things or harming people. Before people change their ways, the president should change his or her ways first. Then, he could tell people to change their ways, and people or maybe even other countries might hear him or her say about the Gospel. Soon, people will preach the Gospel to people around the world.

Second of all, I think the next president should make wise decisions because if the president doesn’t make wise choices then the president would make bad

choices and keep making many bad mistakes. Soon, if the next president makes good choices then people might even vote for him or her for the president again. Then, maybe the next president will also make good decisions and the next president after that will maybe make good decisions.

In conclusion, there are more reasons why a president should do or make the United States a better place. Many people might have many more reasons for what a president should do. Many people have different reasons, but in my opinion, I think the next president should have a Christian quality and make wise decisions.

Commander in Chief: How our next president could be like.

By Abraham Uk

Did you know that James Madison was the shortest president, standing at 5’4 and being less than 100 pounds? In 2024, you will be electing our next U.S president for the next few years. When voting, let yourself know if the one you are voting for would be a good idea, we should all be aware of which president we elect. We should elect a president who has great leadership and an honest mind just so that we can make our country great again.

First of all, I think our next leader could possibly have a great and strong voice that can lead his troops into battles or give us speeches of his concerns. A great leader should also be aware of the bad deeds his people are doing, for example littering. The next president should respect his people and other people out there, as in presidents from other countries. I also think that the president should lead by example when they’re out in the battlefield, and give encouraging talks or speeches to his troops.

Second of all, the next president should speak up and tell us what he thinks of our deeds and change policies around there. I also think he should be honest and speak with his heart about what he thinks should be right and warn us about the consequences. The president should inform us of the bad things we do and how he thinks it should be done. He could also tell his troops of the plans he made and try to be honest with what they can get better at, as in their discipline or work job.

In conclusion, these were my examples and thoughts on how our next president could be once you vote. We should elect a leader that has great leadership and an honest mind. There are many different presidents out there that could be chosen, but we should, at least, think of ways for the next president and how he can make our country better.

Commander in Chief: President’s thing that need to have

By Aquila Thawng

Did you know there is a lot of responsibility when you are the president of the United States of America? When you are the president, you will need to have bravery and courage. You would need to be a good listener. And you need to be respectful.

First of all, being rightful as a president means that you are being wise with the country’s money. You also make laws that help keep your country safe. This will make others want to come to America. By making better laws it will also help keep crime down. Having a rightful president means that you are also a good listener to the people who help the country in making laws.

Second of all, a good president is not the only one who makes all the laws, so he has to be an excellent listener of other people’s ideas. When you are a good listener, it shows you care about how others feel and can help the laws to be better. We want a president that listens well to help others make good choices. When the American people have a president that listens to them it helps give them more courage and confidence about their country being stable.

In conclusion, a president needs these things to make our country more stable and respected with courage, being a good listener and being rightful. When Americans feel that their president has these qualities it gives them more stability about their country. This helps make the country a better place.

Commander in Chief: Good qualities of a president

By Asher Spoonamore

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was 6 feet 4 inches tall making him the tallest president in the USA? What are some good qualities for presidents? The next president should have good character chraits. I think the next president should be ambitious and amiable. These are two main qualities a president should have to lead the nation.

First of all, an ambitious person doesn’t settle for second best. They are always striving to be at the top of their field. They should also be a good strong ambitious leader because that would help us win wars. Another reason the president should be ambitious is because there would not only be someone that will not give up but they would be someone for the nation to look up to. Another reason that the president should be ambitious is they will stand up for what’s right no matter the cost the president will not send military if it will hurt people that are innocent,

Second of all, a person should be

amiable. A president should be amiable because he would give mercy he wouldn’t as much money on the people that can’t afford it. He also would be wise and not lead the nation into war. Also a president should be amiable because he would think about others interests. An amiable president would not borrow absurd amounts of money from people and businesses putting the nation in det

In conclusion, there are so many good qualities I think the president should have, but I am here to tell you the qualities the president should have. These two qualities are ambition and the other one is amiable. These are just two of the qualities that make a president one to elect.

Commander in Chief: Qualities for the president

By Gentry Jewell

Did you know that the tallest president in the world is Abraham Lincoln? A president should be good at listening and clear communication. I believe that a good president should have good listening and clear communication so they can be better at listening and have clear communication.

First of all, I think our next president should be good at listening so when they talk to someone and so they do not miss any information. I think the next president is a good listener because I want a President that can listen to different people’s opposition. I think a President should have good listening skills so they can get very important information for important people. I feel like it is very important to have good listening skills if they want to be a great president for many years.

Second of all, Clear communication is important for the president to have so when they are talking with someone they are good and clear communication. I feel like as president you have clear communication so they do not forget what they are going to say. I think clear communication is very important. It allows the president to clearly define their vision in a way that inspires and empowers people around them. I feel like the president should have clear communication because it can build better things for them so they can be the best president that they want to be. I think a great leader should always have clear communication so when they talk to very powerful people they do not forget what to say.

In conclusion, to wrap this all up I’m going to talk about more qualities and clear communication, listening. Presidents don’t just need to have the qualities that I talk about in my essay, they need way more qualities like graciousness, and being confined. This is what I think makes a leader trustworthy. I think a president needs to be trustworthy so people can trust them and know that they are a good

president. Also so people don’t say rude things and make them look like they are bad presidents. What do you think a president should have?

Commander in Chief: Qualities of presidents

By Gracelyn Rayfiend

Did you know that Woodrow Wilson (#28) is the only president buried in Washington, D.C.? I think that there are many good qualities for a president. I want my president to have joy in his work and have fun being the president (I think that the president will want that too). I want the Next president to have the qualities of being confident and I want the president to also be generous.

First of all, I want them to be confident in his/her work. I think that confidence is a really good quality for a president. I want a president that has the confidence to speak up and do what is right. If you are a president and are scared to acknowledge that you should say or even do something then you might want to be more confident. I want a leader that will have confidence in his/her speech and have confidence in their leadership.

Second of all, I want my leader to be generous. Generosity is also a very good quality to have. I think that if you are running for president and you are very generous then you will get more votes. You need to be generous if you want to help your country. I don’t know about you but I think that a president should definitely be generous. If you are generous you will be able to help more for your country.

Lastly, as you can see there are many amazing qualities to have as a president.

If you can’t tell, those are my favorite qualities. Not just for presidents but for anyone who reads this. God wants you to have those qualities too. I hope you can be more confident and more generous after reading this essay. Thank you for taking your time to read my essay.

Commander in Chief: What qualities a president should have

By Kylie Murdick

Did you know that Willam Henry Harrison was president for thirty days? A president should have many good qualities. I believe that a good president should have courage and show influence on other people.

First of all, a president should have courage. It already takes a lot to have enough courage to be president but to show courage and be the boss that is incredible. For example, Abraham Lincon showed courage to stand up for rights for African Americans and to stop slavery. Also, George Herbert Walker Bush showed a lot of courage. He did this

by preventing wars and overseeing the peaceful ending of the Cold War. John F. Kennedy is a great example to use. He risked his career by choosing unpopular courses of action. I think our next president should be like Abraham Lincon, George Herbert Walker Bush and John F. Kennedy.

Second of all, a president should show an influence on other people. A good example is Franklin Roosevelt because he kept his promises by promising a “new deal.” Also, Andrew Jackson stood up for black people after the death of Abraham Lincon. Another, is Thomas Jerforsson he organized the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the United States and set the stage for the nation’s westward expansion. I also believe a president should have this quality. Our next president should also be like Franklin Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jeforsson.

In conclusion, our next president should have courage and show an influence. The reason why is because it takes a lot to show courage but to show it to your nation is awesome. Also to show a good way to act. The 2024-2028 president should be like some of the presidents in the past and be a good example.

Commander in Chief: The best qualities a president should have

By Levi Self

Did you know that the first left-handed President was James Garfield the 20th president Of the United States of America? Some of the citizens of the United States are either going to elect the same president or find a new one, but they should have the best qualities possible. I believe that the best president should have the best qualities such as Justice, and Confidence.

First of all, having justice is a good role for a president. If presidents were not just, and right, who would know what our country would be like? Presidents that have justice and stand up for our country that we live in, those presidents are good presidents. The presidents that stop crimes all over the country can help out a lot too. Also we need presidents that do right and have justice for our country. This wonderful country needs a good role model to stand up for us in the bad, and wrong.

Second of all, confidence is also a very important quality for this country. A president needs to have the confidence to stand up for us and the United States of America, and not be afraid of whatever comes at them. Also having confidence can give you the courage to pull through every mistake, and every problem that comes your way and their way. One more thing about confidence is that confidence lets you be ready for anything that comes

your way.

In conclusion, having good qualities for being a president makes you a good leader. In every little way presidents inspire us to have hope and give us courage to pull through every tough thing. Those good qualities about as president can’t be beat. Qualities such as Just, and Confidence those qualities cannot be beat. If you want to show those qualities as a president you are a really good leader for the United States of America. That is the best president you can possibly have for the USA.

Commander in Chief: Good qualities in a president

By Lynnix Goss

Did you know that three American presidents have died on our nation’s birthday including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Monroe? So for 2024 another election will happen. I believe that the next president of the United States should be a person that is loyal and someone to rely on when we are feeling down. So that is the president I think we would all like, and who we would all pick. So maybe you should vote for someone like this or similar to this, because I think this person could be for all of us. So I would pick someone like this.

First of all, I believe that a president should be loyal. I think that they should be loyal because if not them we would have a president that would lie to us all the time. Also when they are playing a game we would want them to be truth full, and to not cheat when they are playing. And when we have a secret we would want them to not tell other people about it. We would also want the president to be a leader, but if not then we would have a dishonest leader that lies to everyone. One more thing we would want them to be on our side so that the United States does not get destroyed. So I think we should have a president that is loyal to everyone.

Second of all, I believe that we should have a president that we could rely on. But if not then we would probably alway be upset. Also we would not have someone to tell us what to do, or someone to tell us what we are doing wrong. Also someone that we could have to help us with things. But most importantly to make sure we are ok at all times. One other thing is when people vote we would want these things in them. So I think we should have a president that we could rely on.

In conclusion, I would want a president to be loyal, and to be able to rely on them when we are feeling down. So what I am trying to say is that when we vote for a president, you should probably vote for someone who is kind, loyal, someone you could rely on, and lots more. We should not have a president that is unkind, and

not loyal and also lots more. So if I were you I would pick a president that is like this. So I think the next president should be loyal, and someone who we could rely on.

Movie Magic: “The Greatest Showman”

By Elise Nixon

Did you know that the first motion picture film was released in 1888? Movies are a fun addition to life and they make my evenings more entertaining. There are many fun and interesting movies, but I especially enjoyed watching “The Greatest Showman.” After watching this movie recently, I really loved the singing and dancing, the many themes of the production, and the interesting plot.

First of all, I loved the singing and dancing in this real-life movie. When I watch movies, I can never sit still if the movie I’m watching is too boring, but this movie isn’t! The feeling I got when I was watching this was very engaging! The dancing made me want to get out of my seat and start singing with the characters on the screen. I specifically loved when Jenny Lind sang “Never Enough” and the theme song “This is the Greatest Show”.

Second of all, I liked how there were many valuable lessons to be learned from “The Greatest Showman,” such as showing kindness to everyone and there is no point in feeling sorry for yourself. Someone who doesn’t know these things could watch the movie, which would help him or her later in life. In addition, movies that don’t have a theme are pointless. This is because no one can learn anything from them.

Third of all, I loved the plot and story told in this production. I loved how the story actually happened in real life. Today, Barnum’s Animal Crackers are a fun snack that many like to eat. I like how there is a fun topic, and also, how there is a problem that in a way, gets solved. It is very sad that a fire burns down Barnum’s circus building, but that just makes the story more interesting and heartfelt.

Finally, these are my three reasons why I loved watching “The Greatest Showman.” Again, I loved the singing and dancing, the many themes throughout the movie, and the plot. For these reasons, I give this movie a ten out of ten! I recommend this movie to anyone that is willing to watch it.

Movie Magic: “The Boys in the Boat Review”

By Liam Hunsley

Did you know that the actors for “The Boys in the Boat” trained every day for five months? This movie was based on a true story during the Great Depression. And these men had to join this team to pay for their college. I really enjoyed the movie “The Boys in the Boat” because of how it

was a family friendly movie and its intense scenes.

First of all, “The Boys in the Boat” is a great movie to watch with family and friends and it’s based on a true story. Also I liked this movie because of the story of the main character Joe Rauts. It talks about what happened in his life early on about how he was alone for most of his life .Also how it showed the different personalities especially the character Don. When you first see him he is all shy and doesn’t talk much. But then he starts to have fun and talk to the crew and he shows them some of his talents like, playing the piano, and many more.

Second of all, I liked the intense scenes. One of the many intense scenes that I liked was when during training you didn’t know if Joe and his best friend Roger were going to make the rowing team or not. Also how Joe almost got kicked off the team but he just had to take a break but if he did they would have not won the Olympics. Also when Don was sick and they didn’t know if he was going to get better or still be sick this would have made him not be able to compete in the Olympics .At the end of the movie It looked almost as if Don’s row was going to come off the boat but they ended up winning.

In conclusion, I think that this was one of the best movies that is based on a true story and I recommend it to family and friends that like movies that are based on a true story. It is also totally safe for kids and it has some intense scenes. I also hope if you watch it you will enjoy it as much as I did with my family. This is just a short little review for “The Boys in the Boat” and not the whole thing, so you will have to watch it yourself.

Movie Magic: “Where the Red Fern Grows”

By Miles Fugate

This is my movie review on “Where the Red Fern Grows.” Did you know in the movie the waterfall was in Natural State Park in West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma?

In the movie the main character’s name was Billy and his dogs were Little Ann and Old Dan. An interesting fact in the movie is when Old Dan and Little Ann died a red fern started to grow next to their grave.

First of all, In “Where the Red Fern Grows” there is a lot of action in the movie and the book. In my opinion the action parts are the best. Some of my favorite action parts are when the lion attacked Bill’s dogs, and when Billy’s dogs killed raccoons, and when Rubin Pritchard died by an ax, because he fell on the ax.

Second of all, In “Where the Red Fern Grows,” there is a lot of humor and funny parts of the movie. Like when Rubin Pritchard died the sound was Hilarious and it made me and everyone in my class

laugh and when Billy didn’t win the trophy he still got the trophy and the way he got it was a little bit funny and cringy. The way he got it was by his grandpa because he said he is not going to the hospital if Billy didn’t get the trophy.

In conclusion, this is my movie review on “Where the Red Fern Grows,” and this is my opinion about the movie.

Movie Magic: “How to Train your Dragon”

By Brenna Sharp

Did you know that in “How to Train Your Dragon,” the dragon’s personality is based on dogs and cats? “How to Train Your Dragon” is a movie with humans and dragons finding peace with each other after 300+ years of fighting. I personally enjoyed this movie because of the action packed scenes, and the warm hearted story of a teenage Viking and a dragon.

First of all, this movie has tons of awesome action in it. The movie starts out with dragons invading Berk, Hiccup’s village. Hiccup is the chief, or Stoick the Vast son. Hiccup spots a mysterious dragonlike figure flying around, so trying to prove himself, he ends up shooting the figure down. The next morning, he goes to find the mysterious dragon only to find that he shot a net at a nightfury, a dragon no one has ever seen before. He also discovers that once he shot the net, it ruined one of the dragon’s tail fins. As Gobber, one of the vikings says, “A downed dragon is a dead dragon.” Hiccup then starts feeling sorrowful, and gets to work on making a new tail fin. Then later in the story, Hiccup and Toothless the nightfury, fight a dragon named the Red Death to save both humans and dragons.

Second of all, the warm hearted story of “How to Train Your Dragon.” After Hiccup shoots Toothless down, and learns that dragons can’t fly without tail fins, he makes it his mission to make a half tail fin for Toothless. He succeeds in making it and helps Toothless fly again. They then become best friends and fly together.

Once Hiccup’s father finds out he’s been flying on a Vikings mortal enemy, Stoick is furious and traps Toothless and uses him to find the dragon nest. Stoick finds the nest and also finds a massive dragon called the Red Death. Hiccup and Toothless defeat the dragon and they prove that dragons aren’t as bad as the Vikings had thought. These two have truly proven that they would die for each other.

In conclusion, “How to Train Your Dragon” is an awesome movie. This movie is a great movie for people who love dragons and fiction. In my opinion this movie is a wonderfully written, animated, and warm hearted story about two different beings coming together to save one another. This movie is also great

because it talks about stopping a war that has lasted centuries. The story is fun and exciting for all ages. I would strongly recommend watching this illustrious movie about dragons and Vikings coming together and finding peace.

Movie Magic: “The Little Rascals”

By Adrian Litt

Did you know that it took over 20,000+ balloons to lift Mr. Fredrick’s house in Up? There are over 500,000 movies in the world. Today, I will be talking about and reviewing “The Little Rascals.” I will be talking about its romantic story line, its amusing characters, and how at the end they all get along.

First of all, “The Little Rascals” is a romantic story about two kids named Alfalfa and Darla. It’s about a club that does not allow girls. One day Alfalfa invites Darla, but when Darla comes over everybody in the club freaks out, and the clubhouse gets set on fire. So Darla runs away with another guy and is mad at Alfalfa. Alfalfa tries to impress Darla and get her back and at the end succeeds, and the club lets girls in for one time. This time everybody comes with a girl and the movie ends there.

Second of all, “The Little Rascals” has a lot of amusing characters such as buckwheat, who sings the song “I have two pickles today”. Another amusing character is Alfalfa who sings the song “You are so beautiful to me can’t you see” to Darla. The last amusing character I picked was Porky who has a lot of funny scenes in the movie. He is best friends with Buckwheat and they are really funny when together.

In conclusion, “The Little Rascals” was very romantic and amusing in my opinion. There were a lot of funny characters and romantic stories. My favorite character has to be Buckwheat who sings the pickle song. He is really funny and probably the most popular.

Movie Magic: “God’s not Dead”

By Claire Snider

Did you know that the first movie ever was made in 1888? It was only two seconds long. I would recommend “God’s Not Dead 2” to everyone because of the wonderful plot. The movie “God’s not Dead 2” is a family-friendly movie because of its Christian based and the relieving end.

First of all, I love the title of this movie. It is what the gospels say, that God is not dead, because He is surely alive. The movie is about a woman, who is a teacher, answers a students question about Jesus. The principal finds out about this. Since Mrs. Wesley teaches at a public school, they are not allowed to talk about God, Jesus, or Christainty. They all go to court, to see if Mrs Wesly has to have her

teaching license taken away and she be fired from the school. Another man, who is not a Christian but a lawyer, helps Mrs Wesly with her trial. The young man who got out of college, helps Mrs Wesly with her Christian faith. Mrs Wesly wins and does not have her license taken away. Now she can share her story with others and has grown closer to God. Although this exact story isn’t true, there have been stories similar to this one.

Second of all, at the end of the movie it is really intense because Mrs Wesly, the lawyer, and the girl that asked the question, were all waiting to see if they had won. Days passed, they had won. I was crying tears of joy because it was so relieving that Mrs Wesly did not have her teaching license taken away. Also that she can share her story to her students.

In conclusion, I love “God’s Not Dead 2.” I would recommend it to anyone who is Christian or not. All because of how Christian based it is and the relieving end, and how much it made an impact on my life. I hope that whoever watches this movie they come to know Jesus and believe in him that he will guide you on the path that he wants.

Movie Magic: “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”

By Henry Scales

Did you know that the first ever movie was published in 1888 and was called Roundhay Garden Scene? Today I am going to be telling you about “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” I enjoyed the Super Mario Movie because of the smooth animation and the power ups.

First of all, I am going to talk about the animation of the Super Mario Movie. The thing about the animation I love is how it is programmed and I think they did an excellent job. If I were to rate the animation I would say it would be a 10/10 amazing. Another amazing thing about this movie´s animation is that there was absolutely no freezing or lagging once so ever. One more thing about the animation I loved was how the words matched the actual mouth movements.

Second of all, another thing in the movie were the power ups, to me they just give the movie some sparkle. In the movie you can get power ups many different ways including smashing a golden glowing? Blocks, one of them was taken by burning down an ice castle, and you can find some in meadows. Now I am going to name a couple of power ups and their abilities starting with the fire and ice flower they giver the consumer elemental power, The blue and red mushroom the red one makes you bigger and stronger the blue one makes you tiny and weak, and the transforming power ups they turn you into a special animal with a unique ability

including flying and super speed.

In conclusion, for what I have listed I would recommend this movie to a friend. I honestly love this movie and you might too. You can find this movie on Disney Plus for free!! If this movie does not sound like your style you will find one soon.

Movie Magic: “Jurassic Park”

By Dane Odgers

Did you know that the first “Jurassic Park” came out in 1993? “Jurassic Park” is a really cool movie. It gets a lot of love from people because I’m sure everyone loves Dinosaurs. I personally love the movie so I’m going to talk about two of my favorite parts of it. People are very fond of “Jurassic Park” because of its Action and acting.

First of all, action is a big part of some movies and “Jurassic Park” does not let down on it. “Jurassic Park” has some excellent action because in the movie there is a car chase scene with an enormous T-REX!!! Now that’s what I call action. When the characters run from a Raptors or drive for their life you really feel frightened or excited for them, with Action you really don’t know what’s coming next it all sockeds you it will surprise you. Action is a pretty unique thing like Jurassic Park. Has some excellent parts like when a dinosaur comes on the movie I feel like I have to RAN!!!

Second of all, when actresses come on the movie they make the people watching feel like they are a part of the movie and that’s what a lot of people like about Actors. Especially when the dinosaurs come on the movie, the main part about Jurassic Park and the actors in the Raptor suits pretty cool right? CGI is used in Jurassic Park to bring the Dinosaurs to life it’s not really acting but I guess you could say it is still CGI is pretty cool when it comes to dinosaurs. Acting is an interesting thing because real people do it and the Acting in Jurassic Park does not let down.

In conclusion, “Jurassic Park” is a really unique thing. I mean bringing dinosaurs back to life! Is a pretty interesting thing but I have to say it is one of many, no millions of people’s favorite movie, and one of mine

Movie Magic: “Rio 2”

By Drake Barrett

Did you know that in the movie “Toy Story” Woody’s full name is Woody Pride? There are lots of good movies that people love to watch as a whole family. The movie that I adore is a movie called “Rio 2.” I like the movie “Rio 2” because it has many different points of views, and the actors do an outstanding job at performing the whole movie.

First of all, there a many different points

of views throughout the movie “Rio 2”. One point of view is about a couple of people who study and protect the Tropical Rainforest. The next point of view is by a family of Blue Feathered Macaw who are going to find their missing flock in the Tropical Rainforest. The last point of view is based on a gang of super bad people that are trying to cut down the Rainforest to build a village for many people to live in.

Second of all, the actors have an outstanding performance throughout the whole movie. I adored the way that they put in all the emotions and they didn’t even sound weary. Also, they made the noises sound like they were actually the characters in the story. There were songs that they sang themselves which is extremely hard to do.

In conclusion, the movie “Rio2” is a great family movie to watch. It is a good movie because of how there were abundant different points of views, and the way that their actors were doing throughout the movie. Therefore, I would recommend watching this movie with your whole family. I would rate this movie a five star rating because of how amazing it is.

Movie Magic: “Captain America: The First Avenger”

By Jase McPherson

Did you know Captain America the first Avenger was the 5th live action movie filmed about Captain America? I think “Captain America: The First Avenger” is a great movie. A Lot of other people like it too but for different reasons but here’s mine like the movie “Captain America: The First Avenger” because of its emotional hardships and strong development in the main character.

First of all, I like the emotional hardships in Captain America the first Avenger.

First he has a friend but Captain America gets picked on alot because he is small. He wants to join the army but he can’t because he is weak. But then a professor for the army accepts him. Then his friend gets captured and Captain America saved him then they went back to fight and his friend falls off train and is supposedly “dead“ even though he just got captured again.

Second of all, the main character simulates a lot of growth. The main character starts out weak and small and gets bullied. He somehow gets into an army camp. He still gets bullied because of how small he is. He ends up getting chosen for a special program called “the super soldier serum program.” he becomes a powerful super soldier and fights in world war two. There was a lot of emotional hardships In conclusion, I really like this movie for many good reasons. I like it for its emotional hardships like when his friends got captured by the enemy army. I also

like the growth in the main characters. For exile when he got the super soldier serum. That concludes why I like “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

Movie Magic: “Rio”

By Lillian Shaffer

Did you know that the movie “Rio” is a movie that a lot of people love to watch? The movie “Rio” is not violent and it is appropriate for kids to watch. I enjoyed this movie because there is a lot of singing and dancing and some of the characters are funny.

First of all, characters sing and dance in the movie which is probably a popular hobby. In the movie, there is a lot of singing and dancing. They always start making music, start dancing around, and then start singing. Sometimes when they are singing and dancing, something bad sometimes happens but at the end nothing bad happens and the characters are happy. All of the birds make music by playing rhythms and they mostly fly around to dance sometimes. A lot of people who like to watch the movie “Rio” like to watch the birds and the people sing and dance.

Second of all, there are some characters that are funny in this movie. In the movie “Rio,” there are some funny characters and some funny parts in the movie that can sometimes make people laugh. There is a dog in the movie that can sometimes make little kids laugh and he has a funny voice and he acts funny. There is a bird that has a bad voice at singing and it is kinda funny because she is smiling while she sings and it is pretty funny while you see the other characters have a really weird face while they listen and there is a bird that loves its voice. There is also this guy that acts like a bird which is weird and kinda funny, and there are 2 other guys that are just dumb and funny. A lot of people like to watch the movie because it can sometimes be a little bit funny and it is not violent at all. In conclusion, “Rio” is a popular movie that kids and parents like to watch. A lot of kids love it like me because it is not violent, inappropriate, or scary. It is a good cartoon movie that so many people love to watch because of the singing and dancing and that it can sometimes be a little bit funny. There are a lot of characters in this movie and most of them are birds, some characters are people, and there are monkeys, and there is a dog. I really think this is a good movie and an awesome movie.

Movie Magic: “Harry Potter”

By Logan Pattee

Did you know that a lot of movie series are based on books? I think the best movies are usually the ones that have

a book with it. Harry Potter is one too. I really enjoy the Harry Potter movies because they have a lot of adventures tied into it, but since there are books, the producers leave out a lot of good scenes from the book.

First of all, there are many many adventures in Harry Potter. Most of the adventures that are in the Harry Potter movies are really good and they always have a good ending to them. The movie’s adventures could also be short too, if the adventures are short that is in a movie that can mean there could be a longer one coming soon. The movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is just a whole big adventure in it. In that movie Harry and his friends go on a journey for the whole movie.

Second of all, the creators of the Harry Potter movies leave stuff out of the movies, and the stuff they leave out are the good scenes too! Usually the parts that are left out are in the book, which disappoints me and probably other Harry Potter lovers too. If someone watches the movie first and then reads the books they don’t really notice that they leave out stuff. Now if you had read the books before you watch the movies you can tell that they left out stuff, but sometimes the stuff that they do leave is usually small or unimportant things. Even though they leave stuff out I still like the movies and I do not have that much of a problem with them.

In conclusion, “Harry Potter” is a really good movie, but I am not saying that Harry Potter is the best movie ever, but it is still good. I do like that Harry Potter has what I think a lot of movies do not have. I love the adventures that are tied into it, even though they leave out some adventures too. I think that the Harry Potter movies should be one of the first movies that are based off of books that someone should watch.

Movie Magic: “UP”

By Nora Sutton

Did you know that the first movie was made in 1888? The movie “UP” has lots of lessons, Easter eggs, and highly entertaining senses. This movie also has a lot of fun twists and turns to the story. I believe the movie “UP” is highly inspirational because of the loving message, and the uplifting lessons.

First of all, the movie has a lot of ways to show love to people. I believe the movie shows lots of love by its message. The message of “UP” shows us a lot of love by telling people that the real adventures in life is the relationship we have with people. This help me to remember to have graciousness everywhere I go. The movie also shows us to act with kindness and to live in the moment. This message helped me to be kind to everyone, and everything.

This movie also explains love by telling us we can do hard things. This message helped me the most, I also doubt myself that I can’t do hard thing, and this helped me a lot.

Second of all, “UP” shows lots of uplifting events and lessons. I believe the movie can uplift us with its lessons, the movie has a lot of inspirational events, moments, and lessons. One lesson from the movie is love is all over the place, we just need to love back. This was very inspirational to me and it definitely is a good thing to keep in mind. Another uplifting lesson we can learn from is, life is better with family, and friends. This is also a good thing to keep in mind because it tells us to spend as much time with our family as possible. The last uplifting lesson I would love to share is to make memories with people you love. This lesson was one of my favorites because I love making memories and looking back at them.

In conclusion, the movie “UP” can uplift or show love the next time you watch it! I believe the movie is highly inspirational because of the love in the message, and the uplifting lessons. This movie can help lots of people who need loving messages of some uplifting lessons. I hope the next time you watch “UP” or for the first time, you can find the loving messages and the uplifting lessons.

Commander In Chief

By Ian Russell

I think the best qualities for a president include being respectful of others, wanting to be helpful, being accountable for what they do, able to listen, understanding other people’s feelings and caring about them, being brave, having a plan and to keep going even if things go wrong. Most importantly, I think the president should be honest and trustworthy.

Abraham Lincoln was a man who showed many of these qualities, he helped a lot of people, and changed many things. He was resilient, able to keep going even when things didn’t work. He failed seven times before becoming the president.

Abraham Lincoln learned to never give up. He listened to people, was caring, and wanted to help. He earned the nickname Honest Abe and lived up to it. We need someone like Abraham Lincoln to lead America today.

If I were president, I would help everyone to be able to learn what they need to stay healthy and safe, and to get a job that they can earn enough money to pay for what they need.
