I am here to listen
To let you know that I care.
I am here for you, day and night.
Don’t bring yourself down, for
you are yourself
And nothing […]
This past summer I visited Bangkok, the massive and crowded capital of Thailand. The eight days I was there were spent mostly going to Buddhist temples and bustling marketplaces selling dubious looking goods on the side of the road.
The highlight of the trip, however, was going to the Katoy (Thai for gay) show called the […]
Our school is excellent because before we came here we did not know a lot. Thanks to Miss Nichole, our teacher, for being there for us this year and last year. When we came here our minds were dull. We also thank Miss Genny for coming in our classroom and helping us learn to write. […]
Before I switched schools, I went to the middle school. Now I go to the Village School. A lot of people might think it’s dump even if they haven’t tried it before. But they’re wrong. I think the Village School is fun. Some of the things I like are not very many rules, and the […]
On January 14th [2005], schools around Minnesota closed due to cold weather. That same evening, residents and visitors in Northfield celebrated the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through the arts.

Artists sang, danced, recited, and […]

Visitors to the school quickly discover the beauty of an exceptionally respectful school community inside, as well. A pervasive climate of […]

It will be hard to forget me
And eventually you will
But you will always know
I am the sunset on a cool summer night
I am the drawing you once started
And now I’m the painting you must finish
I am the pill that takes the edge off
I am the sweet aroma that fills your bedroom
I am your favorite star […]
Everybody
We turn and stare
At someone
Who is standing there
We look at them
As though they’re gone
But they are there
About to leave
Can’t stand it here
Because of us
Can’t stand it here
Because of us
And now
They’re gone
Because I’m here
So I’m the one
Who’s standing here
Now it’s me
Who takes the stare
I am the one
Standing there.
