Sick
By Vinny Spina
My head feels heavy
Like a huge bowling ball,
Perched on my neck, ready to fall,
My nose feels stuffed, with cotton and glue
A swollen red bulb with only one sound, ACHOO!
My throat scratches when I try to talk,
Like a wooly winter scarf, too tight on a walk,
My cheek bones press like a mask too small,
Being sick is no fun at all,
Everything above my shoulder aches
Until Dad says, “Come on eat, I made pancakes.”
4th Grade winner
I’m a Snowflake
By Ellena Keppler
I’m a snowflake
I’m a snowflake
In the air
In the air
Whirling, twirling, snowflake
Whirling, twirling, snowflake
Here and there
Here and there!

I Love Books
By Tessa Hoesch & Lucy Wood
Books take us on magical rides.
Books make us smart.
Fairy tales and nonfiction, I love it all!
Books mean a lot to all of us.
When we read, we smile.
I love books, what about you?
2nd Grade Winner
Summer
By Aria Wagner
Summer is here, I could hardly wait!
My birthday’s in July, I’m turning 8!
I like to go to the pool,
The water feels cool.
And we are out of school.
We’re going to the beach for vacation
It smells like BBQs.
2nd Grade Winner
My Snow Day
By Grayson Boone
Snowflakes are falling.
No birds are calling.
We have snowball fights,
and put up Christmas lights.
I go sledding down the hill.
It gives me such a chill.
I am cold and tired,
So I warm up by the fire.
And since I’m done playing in the snow
I get to drink hot cocoa!

The Mobile Dentist Returns February 7
Does your student need to see the dentist? We are excited to partner with The Smile Program: My School Dentist to offer in-school dental care on February 7, 2025.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health requires a dental examination upon entrance to school (kindergarten or 1st grade) and in grades 3 and 7. Those who need a dental exam, regardless of grade, can sign up to be examined at Northley Middle School. Learn more and register at www.pdsd.org/dentist.
