FISH ARE FUN
By Ben, Fishkeeper (Age 6)
Saturday Scholars

Fish can be a fun first pet. According to Mrs. H., "Fish are an easy first pet to learn to take care of." Some fish have very short lives. Feed them once a day. You can feed them fish flakes or fish pellets. Feed them lots of food, but not too much.

You need to keep algae off the tank. Snails eat green algae. The aquarium is the most important part. Put it on something that looks like it will hold your aquarium. Ben’s fish have a skull and a lighthouse to swim inside.

 

TIPS FOR TRACK
by Theresa (age 7)

Sometimes injuries occur in a ton of different sports.

A sixteen year old named Annemarie got an injury last August doing soccer. She now does track and when she comes back from track, sometimes she has bruises. She has to tape her ankle.

Annemarie said, "You can get tape at a soccer store or at C.V.S." She also said you can sometimes buy a track uniform from a note the track people will send.

There are two seasons of track, indoor and outdoor. Most indoor tracks are 200 meters. Annemarie prefers indoor track.

GRANDPARENTS FIND CAT BY LAKE
By Cole (age 6)
Saturday Scholars

Most people buy their cats at pet stores, but not all people. David and Nancy Wyman got their cat outside. It was a baby and its mom wasn’t feeding it. He had never seen people before.

Cole helped train it. He gave the cat a toy mouse, but never saw it again. The cat was scared of Cole.

The Wymans were going to give the cat away, but when they saw how long it would take, they decided to keep him as a house cat. He is a tiger. Now he isn’t scared of Cole. His name is Mayday. He got his name from his birthday. Other people might get their cats from the wild, too.

 

TESAGO DISCOVERS FUN
By Connor (Age 8)
Saturday Scholars

This month, Tesago PTA is holding a program called Discovery. Students can participate in fun classes which include Mad Science, Mr. Twisty, Crafts, Jewelry Making and Bowling.

Classes are held from February to April after school. Each class is four, five or six weeks. All the classes are held in classrooms, except Bowling, which is at Spare Time.

The PTA has done Discovery for six years. Whitney Decker, who runs the program, says, "We try to offer anything that a parent has a special skill in like jewelry making or a class like Mr. Twisty that is an actual business. 225 spots are filled this year. The most popular is bowling, with 120 students."

Connor took Mad Science last year and Bowling this year. "I liked the lasers and dry ice in Mad Science and hanging out and talking with my friends at bowling," he said.

This program is planned to be running for many more years.

DOG ACTIVITIES
By Brenna, Dog owner (age 7)
Saturday Scholars

There are lots of places to bring your dogs.  Pet Lodge is a good place to bring any pet because they play and get groomed and washed.    

Pet Smart also washes cats and dogs and grooms. 

Mary Jane Row Park is cool because it’s a fenced-in park.  You can take off the leash and let the dog run around.  Kinn’s Road Park is a very good place to bring your dog because you keep them on leash at the beginning and let them off at the end.  The dogs also get along when you let them off the leash.

These are great dog activities!
