Animals in need?
The economy is affecting too many things! Now it’s even affecting animals! Many people can’t afford their pets any more with the economy like this, so they either abandon their pets or bring them into the shelter. In ONE MONTH, 250 cats and kittens came into the shelter! That’s way too many animals!Shelters all over […]
Young writers
Nervous? Me? Why would I be nervous? I’m only a freshman, about to embark on a full day trip to Bates College with a group of really good upperclassmen writers. But why should that make me nervous? As we load the bus at 7:25 in the morning, 15 minutes before school officially starts, our trip […]
