Sixth grade students from Central Elementary School, Matt Gover, 11, and Mary Hill, 11, answered question on National Newspaper Week. Students express views on newspaper By CINDY LLOYD This week of October 7 through 13 is National Newspaper Week! Yea! Hurrah ! As part of our recognition of this week we decided to ask students of Pleasant Grove's Central Elementary School what they liked about the Pleasant Grove Review newspaper. The following replies are from the fifth and sixth grade classes: Kelly Adams, 11, Steve Conder, 11 and Kelly Anderson, 10, all said they do not read it. Why don't they read it? Do their parents keep it under lock and key? Do they burn it in the fireplace? Or, heaven forbid, are the children just not interested in reading it? (No, that couldn't be!) Mary Hill, 11, said, "I like about the kids and the sports sections." And then she said, "It's okay." (Thank You!) Ryan Carter, 10, shrugged his shoulders and laughed. Cary Cook laughed and said, "I don't know. (I didn't know the question was so funny.) Matt Gover said, "I like the sports section and stuff like the contests, big pumpkin contests like they had last year and the pictures. It's all right." (Thanks again! ) When I asked Elaine Mattenson, 11, if she liked the articles she nodded, "I like the articles." I asked if she liked anything else about the paper, she said "Nope." Cassy Bone, 11, and Derek Taylor, 11, both like the comics ! Scott Tingey, 10, said, "I don't know." And Danny Schoonover, 11, said, "Sports, I don't know." What's with the I don't knows? By this time I fell in love when Andy Fisher, 11, said, "I like the local news. I like to hear about what is happening around town." Oh joy! Joy! Julieanne Turner, 12, said she liked the "Comics and Dear Abbey." (Dear Abbey? Perhaps we should have a Dear Marcella!) Thanks kids! |
