Evergreen Elementary School third-graders transported parents and other guests back to the era of the Beatniks, during a Poetry Café held in Mrs. Kelly Voicheck’s classroom on June 7. Students dressed the part of an artist with flowing scarves, sunglasses and beads, and shared poems they wrote that included poetic devices such as repetition and alliteration. They encouraged visitors to snap instead of applaud for each student’s performance, and turned down the lights to create a dim and theater-like setting. The afternoon of poetry was capped off with an interpretation of “Street Music” by children's author Arnold Adolf. Students used maracas, tambourines and a plastic tub to create rhythm.

Families had a chance to take a different sort of "vacation," with their fifth graders leading the way, at Evergreen Elementary School's sixth annual Sail for America. Fifth graders worked as teams to pick one of the original colonies from an assigned region, and put together presentations in which they acted as "travel agents" trying to entice visitors to Massachusetts, South Carolina, Delaware or another destination. Before entering the expo, fifth-grade teacher Steve Lycosky addressed the parents and other relatives, thanking them for their support and assistance at home. Lycosky said the project taught the children about collaboration and teamwork, in addition to their learning about the colonies. The lessons will serve them well …

Congresswoman talks with third graders about her work in Harrisburg.
Standing before a group of Evergreen Elementary third graders Monday, state Rep. Marcy Toepel got to partake in what she said was one her favorite aspects of her job – going into the community and talking to people. At the start of her visit, Toepel complimented how the teachers got the students to quiet so quickly – they had to stop talking as they raised two fingers in the air. “We need to do that Harrisburg … it gets very noisy,” Toepel said. Toepel told the students about the basic tenets of her job – she’s one of 203 representatives, she represents about 64,000 people, a PA House representative runs for election every two years and that she has been in office for about a year and a half. She also brought along House Bill 9, the teen …
