Day out with THOMAS!

By Will M.

On May 6-7, 13-14, 20-21 you will be able to meet Thomas the Tank Engine at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI. The cost is $50 for an adult, $41.75 for kids ages 5-11, and $17 for kids 1-4 years old. The reason why is the people who work at Greenfield Village thought that since the Henry Ford Museum was mainly about moving vehicles, they would commemorate Thomas the Tank Engine by repurposing one of the locomotives to look like the Thomas the Tank Engine.

You can meet Thomas and ride on him. They retheme the whole train area of Greenfield Village to the Island of Sodor. There is a Sir Topham Hat. There’s also a shop where you can get a commemorative Day Out with Thomas wooden thing.

Earth Day Clean Up

BY SEVEN F.

The Roeper School is doing an Earth Day clean up on 4-17-23 through 4-21-23. The people that are hosting the Earth Day clean up are Jenn and Sosha. The whole school is giving Sosha trash to weigh with Stage III. Everyone in Stage III science made five seed bombs and they’re going to take the seed bombs to the homerooms to throw them in places where there isn’t anything growing and no one usually steps in that spot. There are a ton of seeds in it, so most seeds will grow (some will not).

Earth Day started on April 22nd, 1970. Before then a ton of people were littering and just throwing things everywhere. When the first Earth Day happened, a ton of people started cleaning up. There wasn’t a Clean Air Act or Endangered Species Act yet. And then things started changing after the first Earth Day.

stage two thanksgiving feast

by Sagan and Miles

Have you ever heard of the stage two thanksgiving feast, no? 

Well, the stage two feast is about each year they do different things this year they are kind and learn about different ways of kindness. Each class will make different food and dessert as the event is happening on Friday November 18th at lunchtime. The whole thing started a long time ago. They studied native Americans and the harvest. At some point they decided to serve food. And let parents help. About twenty years ago they decided to let the kids pick the food so they could participate in the feast. The source of this info is from former teacher Michele!

Empty Bowls by Zoe.M

Empty Bowls is a elective for stage 4 and it is a fund raiser for for people who can’t afford food.

There was a different art teacher in the 1990s that made bowls with his class and put soup in them and told the people that they could have the bowls.

Shoshanna thinks it is good to carry on the tradition and to help people who can’t afford the food themselves.

The event is Wednesday December 14th 5pm to 7pm

People can buy a bowl and get soup with the bowl. Empty Bowls is an event for only stage 4 and their families can also come to.

Shoshana said that everyone altogether has made 200 bowls, but some will break in the kiln most definitely.

All the bowls are formed but not all fired.

To buy a bowl it is a 5-dollar suggestion, or you can donate more and if you buy a bowl, you can get soup to.

Well, folks that concludes are Roeper report story!
