LONG LIVE MAR VISTA SEA LIONS
My pride in Mar Vista counts on what’s important to me. Like the Mar Vista parent volunteers, my mom Stacy is one of the parent volunteers and she takes time out of her day just to come and help my teacher Ms. Nunes and my classmates.
Every year on the last day of school there has been a baseball game, the teachers vs. the 6th graders. Everyone always has a great time watching the game, and the teachers have never lost a game before. That’s all going to change next year when I play.
If anyone new comes to Mar Vista they will meet an intelligent librarian named Ms. Amy. Ms. Amy is an awesome librarian, she reads great books to kids in other classes and she knows the right books for you.
Hey do you like soccer? I know I do. Everyday at lunchtime there is a 5th and 6th grade soccer game down on the lower field. This activity will give you exercise and you will have a fun time!
Also, at the end of the school year every class gets to go somewhere away from the school and have a party! This year my class and Ms. Sara’s class get to go to Nisene Marks and play in the creek. We will definitely have some fun.
Another thing at the end of the year is field day. Field day is when sixth graders make up their own games and let other grades enjoy them and have fun!
Long Live Mar Vista School!

Mar Vista is Great
Mar Vista, I love you so much. I will miss you when I have to go to 7th grade. I will miss Kids Corner, the supportive teachers (Ms. Nunes) and the books that Amy lets us check out. I will miss the end of the year softball games; 6th graders vs. teachers. What I love most of all at Mar Vista is Extended Learning.

The Blue, White, Sea Lion
I care to learn.
I go to a school of blue and white.
Here, everyone goes.
My friends and I are here.
In this school of blue and white,
There are supportive teachers.
For example, my teacher,
Ms. Nunes, helped me boost my writing
To be in the Aptos Times.
There are other teachers like this of course,
But none of them can match her.
Every year, there is a baseball game.
Teachers against sixth graders.
The teachers have (from what I have heard) never lost.
I enjoy watching this.
In this amazing school,
There are many great activities to do.
These are doing P.E., art, and going to assemblies.
We have field days, walk-a-thons, plays and talent shows.
I go to this great school. This school is
Mar Vista,
Home of the sea lion.

The Love of My Life
There is this creature, the love of my life, she talks to me every day. We joke, we laugh, we play, we have a wonderful day, any day. Can you guess? Do not peak at the next line, you will have to just read on.
MOM! It’s my mom! She brightens up the day and makes time fly by. She makes our food unpredictable with all the spices she adds. When I scrape my knee, she mends me the best she can. She corrects me from wrong to right and helps me with my Math. She has this strange addiction for the smell of eucalyptus trees.
We walk and talk on our dog’s walks, that seem to take a whole day. There is this creature, the love of my life, she talks to me every day. We joke, we laugh, we play. I would love to do it more so, Happy Mothers Day!

The Best
The best dad ever
Active, sporty, fun, loving
Have to say your cool
You talk to the cats
You try to make tortillas
You’re very caring
You watch lots of sports
You love the L.A. Dodgers
You delete my shows
None of that matters
I love you so, so, so much
The best dad ever
Love Molly
