I think you're doing a great job. You are handling this crisis well.
I'm giving a donation because the children in Afghanistan are starving and I'm not, they don't have shelter and I do.
I thank God for what I have. I hope that with other donations the children in Afghanistan will not starve and will be safe and healthy.
Thank you for doing all you can and may God be with you always.
God Bless America,
Kevin E. H.

More space is needed!
By Kristen S.
We need more space between our lockers! Everyday when I am going to my locker, I'm pushed and shoved because we have absolutely no space.
Seventh grader, Sarah Ludwig, commented, "The space is a little tight because we are always on top of each other. The first person to get to her locker is like the lucky one of the day because she does not have to go through all of the pushing and shoving."
When everyone gets to their lockers, aside from being pushed around, we get our combinations messed up. Then, by the time we get all of our stuff, the teachers nag us because we are a little late.
Another seventh grader, Michelle M., said, "the space is so crowded. We cannot get to our stuff at end of the day."
I think most people would agree with me when I say, "we need more space." So next time you go to your locker, think about how much space you really have. Do you have enough?

What should the Park District do for teens?
By Trisha H.
The Itasca Park District is building a two million-dollar addition. What do you think should be included in the Park District's renovation?
I think that they should put an indoor swimming pool in because the Water Park gets really crowded and we could swim all year long.
- Alex C.
I think they should put a teen lounge in where all teens between certain ages could go and do stuff like listen to music, watch TV, play pool on a pool table, and go on the Internet.
- Lara P.
I would like to see them put an indoor pool in because people could go swimming in the winter and we could also have a winter swim team.
- Steve G.
I think that they should put in an indoor pool because when the Itasca Water Park closes for the winter, it would be nice to be able to swim in the winter.
- Paige P.
I think they should build a skateboarding park because a lot of young teens in town skateboard and it would be a place for them to go.
- Danny R.
I think that they should put in a pool because I love to swim and the outdoors is always too crowded. If they had an indoor pool, I could also swim in the winter.
- Rachel R.
I think they should have more activities for kids because they get bored in the winter. They could do stuff like, swimming, tennis, etc. This may keep more young teens off drugs.
- Lindsay M.
I would like to see the Park District put an indoor pool in because I am on the Itasca Swim Team and we have won the White Division 4 years in a row, so if we could swim in the winter we could get even better and go to a different, more advanced, division of swimming.
- Kelsey B.
I think they should build a hockey rink because I know a lot of people who like to play hockey. Younger kids play at Peacock's rink, but the older kids often kick the younger kids off the Peacock hockey rink.
- Bryan T.
