I am a photographer. I have taken lots of beautiful photos. I love them all. But, my favorite one is of some redwood trees. That was the very first picture I took with my camera. The trees were a wonderful shade of brown. They had great power and beauty to them. You could see the texture and imagine yourself there going up to the tree and touching it and feeling the hard bark. But at the same time I was a little bit worried that my boss would not like it. He’s very picky, hopefully he’ll like it.          He did!

I walked home with my hard rusty camera. I quietly slipped into my room and opened the door to my room. I was worried the camera would not work. I took out the camera, pushed my fingers on the trigger and took a picture of  a brown table, CLICK! I peered at the picture, surprised the table was not old but beautiful, it was shiny and spotless. I started looking at the cameras pictures and saw a video. It started playing, I instantly threw it in the trash can and knew why the owners before me threw it away.

The Stranded Squad

The Stranded Squad

By: Madeline Hellwig

On March 9th, all three Clayton Elementary Schools, Captain, Meramec, and Glenridge, attended the Wydown Spring Play, Footloose. But, a group of Glenridge students could not fit on to their school bus and had to wait for the school bus to drop the other students of before coming back to them. The students called themselves “The Stranded Squad”.

The students names were Ceci, Cha Cha, Claire, Eliot, Madeline, Quinn, and Sara. They were all in Mrs. Barnes class, the same teacher that stayed behind with them. This happened because the bus the school district had sent was a handicap bus, meaning it had less seats. All of Mrs. Barnes class boarded, the last class to get on the bus. Then the students started realizing there was no more room. So, the seven kids turned around and got off the bus. Children who had their window open were confused about how come they were not on the bus. A few minutes later, they saw the bus leave. They then stood around for a couple of minutes, talking and being silly. Then, they started walking down the street to reach the end of the street. Shortly after they got there, the bus picked them up. They got to sit wherever they wanted to. When talking to Sara, she recalled the experience by saying “It was really awesome!”. When talking to Eliot, he was asked if he would ever want to be in “The Stranded Squad” again, he answered “I would want to do it again because it was fun!”.

The group made it to the play around only a couple minutes later than their school. Thankfully, everyone made it to the musical on time. And if this ever happens again, who knows if this group will stay the same or will they change. As for “The Stranded Squad”, they will never forget that one fateful day and the bond that will forever tie them together as a group.

But then there was a magical fairy that cast a spell that made it so she could never break it ever as long as she lived. Sadly the girl was so clumsy that she broke the camera anyway.

I stepped outside into the fresh air, as the wind carelessly ruffled the grass. I took a few more steps, until I reached the gravel road, which would take me to my destination. I had been saving up for a present for my sister. I walked up to the antique store and gazed at the beautiful camera. The body was matt, but the rim was smooth. At first I was worried that I could not get enough cold hard cash to buy the brown camera, but I figured it out. I got the camera with just a dime left.

And now they were finally getting together as a grade to figure out what part everyone was going to get. It was Friday before spring break and all of fifth grade was in Mrs. Scotinos 5th grade classroom. Mrs. Kelton started naming the names and titles of people's roles.  Mrs. Kelton divided the role of little Ms. Muffet. The role of little Ms. Muffet was split between two girls, between Madeline and Sophie who was out of town anyway so her friend Sage had to call and tell her about what her role was.  

The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster is about little Ms. Muffet who gets tired of always getting scared by that scarry little spider. So she goes to join a new rhyme and soon the rhymes get super mixed up.

“I really wanted the queen of hearts and I was sooooo happy when I got her as my role.”  Says Sage very happy with her role.

Lights, Camera, Action! We were making final touches to the performers before the performance started. The musical was Hamilton, The Scyhlar Sisters. One of my favorite things about it is the beautiful dresses, and of course I like the best is mine. It’s brown and white with flowers on it. Although the musical is great, one thing that is hard about it is memorizing the words, the tempos and tunes are tiring! Also I get worried about falling off or on the stage since we’re so close, the moving around and the high heels makes it worse! Well gotta go!
