Letter to Soldier

By Musu Kamara

Dear Soldier,

SALUTATIONS to you. How are you doing? This is MUSU KAMARA, from the BERTA A. DREYFUS INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL. I am in 7TH Grade. Even though I’m very little, I’m not too little to understand what you are doing for the people and the United States. It’s a terrific thing you’re doing.

I understand that you left your family and your home and everything you love just to keep our country safe. You are thought about every day. We care about your safety, especially people like me who came from another country—running away from poverty and war. We came here to start a new life. And we know that we are also safe from any terrorists because we realize that people like you care about us. You risk your life for us.
That’s what I call a phenomenal person.

Trust in the Lord and keep up hope that everything will be alright. Have a wonderful, joyful and hopeful Valentine’s Day. May this day be a blessing unto you that you will come back from war safe and unharmed. I will greatly appreciate it if you write me back on the address posted on top of this letter.

Sincerely,
Musu Kamara

Letter to Veteran

By Tyesha Toro
Dear Veteran,

My name is Tyesha Toro. I am a 12-year old girl who does not even know a lot about what you do. We get lots of education here and I bet you did too. Well I guess you are some brave soldier who is fighting for his country. I thank you for having the guts to go out in the battle field risking your life even though it is at stack. I thank you for being away from your family to do this even though you want to be with them on this day.

The Best Gift of All

By Quentin Rodriques

Winter, winter, it’s already here.
C’mon kids get your gear.
Grab your hat, gloves, and throw on your shoes.
Throw snowballs till your arms are black and blue.
Go inside, have hot cocoa and sit by the fire.
It’s Christmas Eve go to sleep even if you are not tired.
You don’t spend the holidays with your family for the presents.
Having a family is the best gift of all.

Night and Day

By Dylan Mclean

Very sorry you’re not here.
Everyone in your family is missing you.
To your loved ones you’re a hero.
Every night they miss you.
Really brave.
A day when people love each other.
Night and day helping our country.
