Racial Equality By Rose Kartchner           With the deaths of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, it has brought to light racial inequalities and how we treat and view people of color. It’s encouraged people to learn more about different people, be involved, and think about how they treat others. Some people have shared on social media different resources that can help. Some people have signed petitions, and donated money to certain businesses.           However, as kids, sometimes it’s hard to know how we can help. I don’t even have a phone, for crying out loud. So how can kids (and adults) help racial inequality?           One idea that you can do to learn more is to ask your parents questions about different races and cultural events in history. And don’t just learn about Black people. Learn about Asians, Latinos, Native Americans, and any other race that you can think of. This can help you learn about dif...

By Rose Kartchner Anyone can make these easy, quick, and delicious oatmeal energy bars. They make for a fun pretend baking show, or they can be done with the whole family. Either way, they taste amazing! Plus, this is a great way for parents to get their kids to like baking, because these don’t require an oven!

History Books for some Summer Reading By Jack Kartchner If you are bored and are looking for something to read this summer you might want to consider some historical fiction books. Historical Fiction books are interesting because they tell you about things that happened in history but create a fun story with the characters they create. They are exciting because they help you imagine what it would be like to live at that time in history. Here are a few books I would recommend to get you started.   Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes: Johnny Tremain is about a boy who is a silversmith apprentice at the beginning of the revolutionary war. An accident changes his plans for the future but gets him involved with the Sons of Liberty and the events that start the Revolutionary War. This is a great historical fiction book about America at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Rifles for Watie by Harold Keith: Rifles for Watie follows the story of Jeff as he joins the Civil W...

By Holden Soelberg If I had a breakfast restaurant it would be called “Eat Like Waddles”. There would be a bar with stools that you could sit at and eat all your favorite breakfast foods. There would be lots of yummy breakfast drinks to like, hot coco, krio brew, orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, cranberry juice, and milk, and water, there would also be a lot of smoothies, like protein drinks, strawberry smoothie, banana smoothies, banana chocolate drink and tons more, at each seat there would be a little spicket the dispenses maple syrup. To eat there would be waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, german pancakes, blueberry/ banana/ chocolate chip pancakes, all different types of eggs, toast, breakfast burritos, fruit bowls and there would be tons of toppings, like cookie butter, fruit, butter jam jelly, peanut butter, whipped cream and nuts, there would also be add ons like bacon, eggs, toast, and sausage, there would be a little booth that you walked into, closed the door and pressed ...

          Rose Kartchner lives in Blanding Utah. She is AMAZING. She is also her mom’s favorite child out of the 5 kids in the house. Rose is 12, and is the oldest one. Her siblings sometimes say that she’s bossy. Her parents sometimes say that she is ornery. But trust me, she is obviously never one of those things.           She likes to read, write short stories, (most of which she never finishes) ride her bike, cross stitch, and stop motion. She just learned how to kayak today, but that is not one of her hobbies. Rose also likes to obsessively eat chocolate, but is working on eating less.           A fun thing about Rose is that she has a degree in 6th grade education. She wants to be a teacher/author/stay-at-home-mom, and wishes that she could have been a pioneer. She also has red hair, and everyone (even strangers) compliments her on it, but strangely that hasn’t gotten rid of her shyness. (Or maybe it’...

By Scout Soelberg           If I could choose one food it would be toast. Because toast you can choose what is on your piece of toast. My 2nd food would be raspberries . I would have water to drink. I would definitely not choose tomatoes. They are my least favorite food.           I would enjoy picking peoples food. It would be so fun to choose what they eat. The girl on a bench by the red tree, eat avocados forever. It would be fun to give people gross foods to eat. Like carrot juice.           I think my friends would love to have me pick their foods. I could give them cool foods. I could also give them lame food. If someone does not like me I could give them gross foods.          If I could be the picker that would be great. Scout S. 3/31/2020

By Rose Kartchner           If you’re like me, you’re probably saying to yourself, ‘why don’t they just make a vaccine for Coronavirus and give it to everyone?’ Seriously though, why don’t they? We could be done with this pandemic in a few days! (Maybe.) Well, turns out that vaccines are really hard to make. Plus, they cost lots of money. However, they are really helpful, so couldn’t the world just work together to make one really fast?           First, let’s get a better explanation of what vaccines are. Vaccines are treatments that make your body stronger. They help you fight off different diseases. When you get a shot, that’s called a vaccination. Shots can hurt A LOT, but they really help you so you don’t get super sick.           Wait. What’s in a vaccine? Is it water? Will it hurt me even more? Actually, no and no. Surprisingly, vaccines are made of little bits of germs. I know, it’s hard to believe, bu...

STAY HOME STAY SAFE A NEWS ARTICLE THAT TELLS YOU WHY TO STAY AT HOME. WRITTEN BY ASHER ELLIS 1) Do you have family with you? If you do, then you can play with them, talk with them, and be with them. This is one of the funnest things that you can do in your house. You can play endless imaginative games with your family members. If you have bored games then those should be a boredom to go to. But on the other hand, if you do not live with family members, in some states you can join a “quaranTEAM” that way you can join some relatives and can be close. But make sure that you live in a state that allows that! If it doesn’t, then the internet has a variety of things to play and how to bond with. The zoom app allows you to see other people, as does google hangouts. You can learn new online games such as two player game dominion (Try it!) and  Uno. One player games such as video games. 2) You can clean up your house and (if you have one) your yard. I know that you may not like ...

By Rose Kartchner I love riding bikes. I just got a new bike a couple weeks ago because my last bike’s gears wouldn’t shift. My bike is black and green because that was the only one at the store that would fit me. It is a mountain bike. I ride it all around where I live. We only have one trail by our house, and I like riding on that. I like to go fast down hills, but I don’t like going off jumps. If it wasn’t quarantine, I would ride bikes with my friends, but now I just ride it with my younger brother. We sometimes have races, but mostly we just talk when we ride. If I had a magic bike, it would be able to fly because that would be way cool. I would ride it to school every morning, but I would hide it on the roof. Why? So that no one would steal it. I would MAYBE let my siblings ride it, but only sometimes. I think that it would be cool to do a marathon on my bike sometime.
