Most of the time I act out when I don’t get attention, but staff at Pace listen when I tell them how I’m feeling. When someone listens to how I feel, they show that they care about me even during the bad times. Today I wanted to talk to someone and I was able to. I still feel a little angry, but the talk was helpful. Sometimes staff can get angry too and they model how to talk about it. Everyone has problems and they don’t want to speak about it, but that only makes it worse. So, open up your ears when someone tells you how they feel, even if you’ve had problems with that person

Recycling is an important way to show your commitment to social responsibility. You can save trees and the environment just by recycling paper and newspaper. At Pace, we can start to recycle paperby having recycling bins in every classroom. We can also recycle things at home and ask our parents and families to help too.  —  Pace Student

When I first found out I had to give a speech for student council, I felt kind of nervous. I wanted to be elected and I told the class why I would be a good candidate. The whole class voted afterwards. It is my first time being elected. My grandma and my mom were happy for me. I like when we get to share our ideas. Some of our ideas are: new lunch menu, wood shop and field trips. I get to get out of work bi-weekly. There is a pizza party for student council. There is an ice cream party for student council. I like being a role model for the younger kids. I will do it again next year.
