Augustus the pigeon -- Alex P.
for 'Gustus coming and I can feed him - Luka

[There's a back story here. Augustus is a pigeon who used to live down in the chicken coop at Animal Center, but Libby rescued him and he now hangs out around the primary playground. While he isn't confined, he is so tame that kids can feed him from their hands. Last week, there was first one Cooper's hawk and then a pair who were hunting in the desert behind the school. Gus was nowhere to be found on Friday, and Libby didn't see him when she came up to school over the weekend. But there he was on Monday, safe and sound!]

I am most thankful for friends, for the food I get, for my family, and for the cool school I go to.
For the teachers who help you and tell you where to go when you're hurt - Ash
For my mom -- LindsayFor my friends -- Phoebe
I am thankful for the world.
