Show X Salem kindergartners drive in Kindy 500 V 1J';- I Brooke Barker r - DAILY He didnt either. On the day of the event, Jones said she was only hoping her son wouldn't throw up any more out of excitement celebration. for the The students tried to focus on the road as they maneuvered their cars to sites such as the Statue of Liberty, ML Rushmore, the Lincoln Memorial and the White House all in their own school. Tischner first used the event 10 years ago to teach about safety and automobiles. Over time she realized she could implement pieces of the curriculum into the highly anticipated event. "I was going to delete the activity, but the students love it and even their siblings love it," Tischner said. Some of the students manage to keep their cars safe from a demolition derby after the celebration. Tischner has even seen some of her former students driving their cars around the neighborhood during the summer, or by other siblings year after year. "I think my car's the coolest," said Quinn Hart man, a student. "Everyone thought so at the parade." He said his car stood out from the rest because it was blue and had a mirror, an- tenna and license plate. Tischner gives them mementos to remember the event, including a postcard, picture of the White House, a miniature Liberty Bell and a much coveted driver's license. Although their cars won't be passing safety and emissions any time soon, Tischner said the kids will always remember their first time behind the wheel at the Kindy HERALD One kindergartner at Salem Elementary wore her rocket-pac- k to school on Friday. One of her classmates drove his new John Deere tractor and parked it outside their class. One student was so excited he had carsickness before he ever stepped behind the wheel of his car. "Students have brought everything from a Santa sleigh to an airplane for the Kindy 500,' said Reta Tischner. Tischner and Katie Oman, hosts and teachers for the annual event, invite the students to build a cardboard vehicle to go on a road trip around the school to see and learn about patriotic symbols. While some of the cars turn out to be merely a cardboard box with paper plate wheels and a license plate, some students and parents use their imagination and creativity to create a dream come true. There were 56 creations this year. "I asked her what she wanted, and helped carve the wheels out of cardboard, but other than that it was all her own," said Jodi Ross, a parent. Her daughter, Laura, ended up spending two days getting the paint job just right each side ended up being a different color. She also decorated it with stickers, to add that personal touch. Ross has helped four of her children build cars for the Kindy 500, and said the secret is cardboard wheels, and to let them do what they want. Otherwise, they won't have as much fun. 500.

On Friday, Susan Sellers' kindergarten class received one of the presentations about labeling. The students talked about ways to make friends, and not judge someone by what's on the outside. "How many of you like oatmeal?" said Chris Morgan, a while holding up a can of oatmeal mix. Many of the students raised their hands, licked their lips or patted their bellies, hoping they'd be asked to eat it, or take the can home. "Well, you're not going to find any oatmeal in here," replied Miller, exposing inside the can to teach the importance of getting to know someone. sixth-grade- r, Star-burs- ts Delays Continued from Dl work.

Their presentation confidence also increases as they gain more opportunities to speak. "We've learned that we can actually teach these kids what we already know," Hannon said.

Marybell Vasquez, one of said she the was a bully at her school in California because she didn't like anyone. Hannon said she had been bullied because she was short.
