They haven't yet found them. The questions left in this mystery are: Who stole them? Where did they end up? Who knows? But the students hope they will show up somewhere. If not, it will remain a mystery. The fundraiser turned out successful, which is always great.

"mystery liquid" in the smaller baggie. Then they put the smaller baggie in the larger one and shook it. When they finished they had a tasty treat. This experiment worked because as the salt melted the ice it drew heat from the "mystery liquid," turning it into ice cream. As I'm sure you know, experiments that you can eat are always a lot of fun. Most students liked the ice cream activity the most.

When the students played Dripial Pursuit (a game involving questions about water) they came in 2nd place. Placing in 3rd was Alexander Elementary, and placing in 1st was Emerson Elementary.
In Energy Jeopardy, the students split up into groups of three, four, and five and answered questions about the environment; the categories included transportation, air pollution and health, and energy sources. The first team to raise their flag would be allowed to answer the question.
The students also made ice cream with two plastic baggies, salt, and "mystery liquid" (half and half, sugar and imitation vanilla). They made ice cream by putting ice and salt in the large baggie and the

who will demonstrate how to make yarn.
The fair has tents full of things to buy. One of the tents sells only Native American crafts. They sell lots of food there and drinks. They sell fried dough, ice cream, pizza, French fries, and many other dishes. For drinks they have lemonade, all kinds of fruit smoothies, and water.
I think the students all liked the fair, especially rolling down the hill at the edge of the fair. At the end, the students all got a bag of apples to take home. It was really fun.

The New Kids at the School
by Maddy Allan - Rahill
Ten new children joined the SMS elementary school this year. I interviewed them for this story.
Emelissa is a new third grader at the school. She went to school before at an elementary school in Portland. She said she likes this school alot better then her old school. She lives in Bangor, Maine with her mom. She really likes the teachers and her favorite subject is math. She said she was assigned to go to this school so she went, and she is having a good time so far.
Kate, Cole, Stuart, Mack, Jordan, Joe, Dylan, and Ben are new first graders at the school. All except Dylan went to the SMS primary site before.
Kate likes the school because it has penmanship.
