Girls On The Run INSIDE THIS ISSUE
By Emily B.
Did you know that GOTR stands for Girls
On The Run? We do not just run, we learn self-confidant and life skills.
We run a practice 5k around the neighborhood close to school, and run a
5k at the end of the season. We also have a year-end party usually held at
the field house! We meet and run two times a week. We can run with
friends too! If you are a girl in 3rd -5th grades you can sign up for Girls On
The Run.
Oh, and did I mention that if you raise over $100 you will get a cape for
raising money for the scholarship? This is not all we do. There’s also a
community service project to help our community our in various ways. For
a couple of years we helped out the SPCA, and we also did the Allen
Myers for the people who are working on the Holland Road expansion.
We made goodie bags for them and in return they gave us each a t-shirt.
We do not always get us stuff in return, but we do it for the good of our
community,and we enjoy that very much. I hope that you enjoyed my
article on Girls on the Run!!!

Pugs By Samantha N.
Pugs have been around since they were brought from China to Europe in the sixteenth
century and were popularized in Western Europe.
In the United Kingdom, in the nineteenth century, Queen Victoria developed a passion
for pugs which she passed on to other members of the Royal family. Pugs have wrinkles,
short-muzzled faces, and very curly tails.
Did you know that a pug was judged best in show at the World Dog Show in 2004?
Pugs can live up to 12-15 years. Also a pug should be walked about 2 times a day. Enjoy your
pug!!!!

Mars/Space Travel by Arielle P.
Hello my name is Arielle. I will be taking you on a journey t0 Mars and space
travel to help you learn about amazing things.
Why scientists think humans can live on Mars…
Scientists think humans can live on Mars because, unlike other planets such as
Saturn, that has gases that are poisonous, Venus, which is too hot, Mars is the only
other planet with water and carbon dioxide that can be turned in to oxygen. The Moon
does not have enough water or oxygen for humans to survive. You’re probably
wondering where the water on Mars is. The water on Mars is located in the polar ice
caps and in the vapor in the atmosphere.
What the challenges of space travel are…
Next, we are going to talk about space travel. There are a lot of space travel
challenges. For example, you must take everything with you because there is no
supermarket in space. Astronauts don’t usually get enough sleep because there is a
40-minute time difference than here on Earth. Additionally, you have to fix everything
yourself because there is no 911, and if you get into trouble, you would have to ask
the astronauts on a spaceship for help. Another problem is that everything floats
because there is less gravity. Less gravity makes you weightless after a while that
will weaken your muscles and bones. Last but not least, and it takes seven to eight
months to Mars there and back in a spaceship.
What would it be like for people who spend time on Mars…?
When people begin to live on Mars they’ll have to have special shelters and
clothing to protect them from solar radiation and other environment problems. The
special clothing will protect their blood boiling from the radiation, and then freezing to
death because Mars is always cold. The reason for this is because Mars’ atmosphere
is so thin the sunlight comes right in then out. There is no atmosphere to keep the
warmth of the sun in. On Mars there is a different day-and-night cycle so it could
affect the astronaut’s sleep. They might be grouchy in the morning.
I hope you had a fun time on this adventure learning about space travel and
Mars.

The Bubbles Family by Kaitlin S.
The Bubbles family is one bubbly family. The Bubbles family is Tetra fish.
In oldest to youngest their names are… Mr. Bubbles, Mrs. Bubbles,
Bubbles, Bubbles Jr., Bubblegum, Bub, Bubble Bop, Bubble Trouble,
Bubblelicous, Neon #1, Neon #2, Neon #3, and last but not least Neon #4. The sad thing is Bubbles, Neon #1,
Neon #3 and Neon #4 died. The fish that have the word bubbles in it look identical to the fish in the top left
corner, except mine are pink, purple, and blue. The fish with the word neon in it looks identical to the fish
pictured in the top right corner.
I got my fish for Christmas and boy, was I delighted! So let me tell you how I noticed my fish on
Christmas morning. First when we got up in the morning my dad and grandma were at my house then while
we were opening presents in the living room. My grandma heard some water running and she asked my dad
about it (and my dad didn’t know that we didn’t know about the fish) so my dad said it was just the fish
tank! I thought, “WOW, WHAT? A FISH TANK???”
Since then, when I got my fish, fish have become my favorite animal. First of all, fish aren’t too much
work. Second of all, fish are very colorful and fun to watch. Third of all, if you ever go broke and starve you
can eat your fish.
I love the Bubbles family and maybe someday you might get a fish too!
THE GILA MONSTER by Melanie Joy D.
Have you ever heard of the Gila Monster? Well, it’s not really a monster. The Gila Monster is a species of
venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexican state of Sonora.
As a heavy, typically slow-moving lizard, up to 60 cm (2.0 ft.) long, the Gila Monster is the only
venomous lizard native to the United States and one of the only two species of venomous lizards in North
America. The other being its close relative, the Mexican Beaded Lizard. Though the Gila Monster is
venomous, it’s sluggish nature means it represents little threat to humans. However, it has earned a
fearsome reputation and has sometimes killed despite being protected by state law.
Distribution and Habitats
They inhabit scrub land, like the succulent desert, and oak woodland, seeking shelter in burrows,
thickets, and under rocks in locations with ready access to moisture. In fact, Gila Monsters seem to like
water and can be observed immersing themselves in puddles of water after a summer rain. They avoid living
in open areas such as flats and farmland.
P.S I wrote this to inform you about Gila Monsters and because they interest me.

War by: Addison M. War is tough. I know that because my dad was serving in a war when I was born on
May 18th, 2009. I didn’t get to see him until he came back. I did not know when he’d come
back and I really missed him so much. He was the last one in the family who got to hold me
and that made me sad until my mom explained to me that he’d left his assignment to early to
be able to come see me. I appreciated that so much!
All about Louis Braille By Samantha N.
Braille is a reading system of dots and dashes to help the blind people
read. This system was invented by a man named Louis Braille.
Braille became blind when he was about 3 or 4. He was in his fa-
ther’s workshop and stabbed his eye with a sharp, pointy tool. At his time
there was nothing they could do, but when Braille was older he was sent to
the National Institute for Blind Youth in France.
His nights were awful and most nights he couldn’t sleep. But one
day this was about to change. A military worker visited the National Institute for Blind Youth and talked about a code of
dots and dashes they used in the military to communicate. That gave Louis the idea to make a system of dots and dashes
for the blind to be able to read.
This is how Louis was inspired. He often worked on the code at nights when his bunkmates were asleep.
Louis’s dream of being published was achieved. As you can see, it was great that Louis Braille had a dream of helping
others.

Lesson Learned by Raegan M.
Three years ago Mean Milson was meaner than ever.
He and his friends went to West Wilson Elementary School. Mean
Milson didn’t care about anyone but himself and his best friends.
There are lots of other reasons the kids called him Mean Milson.
For example, if you walked through the hall and accidently bumped into him or
one of his buddies, he would throw you to the ground and punch you in the face so you would
have a black eye for a week. One day a little boy, Davis Democracy, walked past Mean
Milson in the hall while reading a book he’d just gotten from the library and when Davis, with
his head in the book, bumped into Mean Milson he got pushed to the ground and punched in
the eye. From that day on no one liked Mean Milson.
Now, here is why they call him Mean Milson, if you were on the playground without
asking him if you could be he’d kick you in the shin and if you were talking without Milson
he would call you mean names such as stupid face and brainiac.
But one day a girl named Kylie saw Mean Milson crying on the bench while everybody
else was playing. So she went over to see if he was okay. All she got out of Milson was I don’t
want to be a bully anymore and I don’t have any friends. Kylie knew she had to help him now.
He didn’t want to be bully any more. So Kylie said, “I’ll be your friend. And I will see if
anyone else will want to be your friend like umm…Davis Democracy!” So for the next few
days Kylie was trying to get Davis to be Milson’s friend but because of how Milson punched
him in the eye Davis said, “NO!” So now he knows being a friend is better than being a bully.

The Crazy Dream By Emily B.
One day I woke up…but I was feeling confused, and I did not know what happened! I
was on the roof of our house. I was so frightened, and then I looked outside and there was a
black hole!
Now I was really scared!
‘’Was I in my in house? ‘’ I thought.
“BEEP, BEEP, BEEP.” Oh! my gosh! That was the weirdest dream ever!
I raced down the stairs.
“I am going to be late for school,” I thought I would miss the bus, too. I was finally
ready to go to school, and I had five spare minutes to play on my phone. Wait a minute!
Where is my phone?
“LIANA,’’ I yelled. I know that you have my phone. She did not listen to me, and so I
had to go get it really quickly.
Finally, I had my phone. And then the bus arrived.
“The bus is here, bye, mom.
‘’Hi Rosa,” I say (she is my best friend ever).
“May I sit with you? ‘’
‘’Yes,’’ she says.
‘’Did you have a crazy dream?‘’
‘’No,’’ I had one, and it was like Alice In Wonderland! I wonder what dream I will have
tonight?”
“Hey, today is Friday! Do you want to sleep over at my house tonight! Ok! It is a sleep
over at my place!

The Dragon of Illerea By Lucas K. Skyfall was a beautiful dragon that lived long
ago. She usually lived alone. But one summer
day, deep in the forest, Skyfall met another
dragon, and she felt very nervous. She had
never met another dragon, other than her
mother. This was definitely not her mother.
This dragon was much taller than her or any-
thing else she’d ever seen. It was also a differ-
ent color. While she is the color of pure sap-
phire, this new dragon, Draftsign, was a light
emerald.
“Who are you?” Skyfall asked.
“My name is Draftsign.” he said. His voice
was much quieter, Skyfall thought.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“My name is Skyfall.” she answered.
“Can you help me find my mother?” she
asked.
“Of course!” he said. “What is her name?”
“Sunlight,” she said.
“Favorite color,” he asked.
“Red” she answered.
He seemed to be writing in a notebook.
Would this dragon help Skyfall? And will she find her mother? Find that out in
part three!
GALLOPING GAZETTE Page 8
The Dragon of Illerea: Part Three By Lucas K.
After Skyfall found her mother’s scale, she was more confident than ever. It was
nearly four months after she had lost her mother and had met Draftsign. Now she had
evidence and was certain that her mother was in the area.
Just then, Skyfall heard a deep rumbling. But where was it
coming from? Suddenly the mountain she was searching
in started to crumble! She tried to fly away, but her foot
was stuck in between two humongous rocks. Skyfall
scratched and fought, but still came up with no success.
Eventually she thought, I’m going to die here. The moun-
tain gave one last rumble, then sat still and Skyfall discovered that her foot was free.
She found a way out of the cave, so she took it as fast as she could. Suddenly rocks
started to fall all around her again! Skyfall tried to get out of the tunnel, but it was
blocked. She whirled around but the way she had come was blocked too! She was
trapped! The mountain stopped moving and Skyfall realized that she was sitting on the
top of a dragon palace that was rapidly-moving upward. Skyfall thought, Oh-No! I
think I’m on the king’s fortress! The king was a very kind gentleman, but showed no
mercy towards uninvited visitors. On the one talon, Skyfall never, ever wanted to meet
the king because she was nervous and scared. On the other talon, she thought that
meeting the royal family would be pretty cool. On the third talon, she wondered what
the king looked like for nobody had ever seen him except the other members of royalty.
Suddenly she saw a flock of dragons flying toward her with Skyfall’s mother, Sunlight, in
the lead! When the dragons reached her, Skyfall’s mother wrapped her wings around
her daughter.
“Skyfall!” her mother said happily. “Guess who’s the king? Your father!”
And Skyfall was so happy that Sunlight led her to her father, whose name was Sunhigh.
They had a big feast and lived happily ever after.

where he picks a topic, and searches for games related to this topic on a website, and then plays them! He also
plays a lot of Hello Neighbor. I hope everyone can grow to liking Dan as much as me because he is very
funny and entertaining for all ages.

Relient K by Calla I.
My favorite Christian Rock band is Reliant K. Reliant K is an American rock
band that was formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio, by Matt Thiessen, Matt Hoopes,
and Brian Pittman during their junior year of high school. The current members
are John Warne, Jon Schneck, Brian Pittman, Todd Frascone, Stephen
Cushman, Brett Schoneman, Jared Byers, and Ethan Luck. They have written a
lot songs, but my absolute favorite is Sadie Hawkins Dance. In the United States
and Canada, the Sadie Hawkins Dance is usually an informal dance sponsored
by a high school, middle school or college. It is unlike traditional dances, where
the guys ask the girls, such as homecoming in the fall or prom in the spring, be-
cause the girls ask the guys. This empowers women to chase after what they want and not just wait for it to
walk their way.
Maybe It’s Maybelline is a good one too! Maybelline LLC is a major cosmetics company also known as
Maybelline, New York. The song refers to it many times. Like, [we’re all sinners, we’re all ugly] and then
Maybelline’s motto, [maybe we’re born with, or maybe it’s Maybelline] although, the motto is really [maybe
she’s born with it, or maybe it’s Maybelline]. It means we blame someone for our actions at some point,
and we cover it up so no one knows.
Another one of their songs is even based off of a TV show! The song I’m Lion-O is based off of a show
called ThunderCats. ThunderCats is an American animated series based on a group
of cat-like humanoid aliens. The show was created by Tobin "Ted" Wolf and
animated by Japanese animation studio, Pacific Animation Corporation. The charac-
ters were originally featured in an animated television series named ThunderCats,
that ran from 1985 to 1989.

The Jacksonville Jaguars by Sebastian W.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are an NFL football team in the AFC south division.
Fun Fact: The Jaguars were founded in 1995.
Their Mascot: The Jaguars’ Mascot is Jaxson de Ville. All I know about him is that Sir Purr,
Roary (The Detroit Lions Mascot), and Who Dey (The Cincinnati Bengals’ Mascot) are all
buddies.
This is Jaxson de Ville.
The Stadium
The Jaguars’ stadium is Everbank Field. It has hosted two Superbowls, one of which was the
Buccaneers vs Raiders. It has a swimming pool on top of it. One game in the 2016 season,
when they crushed their rivals, the Colts 51-17, the pool was so crowded that they had to limit
the amount of people that could be in the pool even though the pool is huge.
Their Uniforms: The Jaguars’ home uniform is black with a gold
collar and a patch of turquoise on both shoulders. The Jaguars’
away uniform is white with a gold collar and a patch of black on
both shoulders.

Their very special helmets:
In 2009 the Jaguars changed their helmet from black to matte black and gold. They are the
first team to have their helmets change color. When the sun hits direct sunlight on the
helmets they turn all teal
and
The Jaguars fired their head coach, Gus Bradley, in December, 2016 because he wasn’t
coaching them very well. They hired a new head coach, Doug Marrone. Ever since they hired
Marrone, they have won the rest of their games in the 2016 season. The Jacksonville Jaguars
have a bright future with Doug Marrone on their side as head coach.

The Arrow & the Song By Arielle P.
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where.
For, so swiftly it flew, and out of sight,
I could not see it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where.
For who has hearing so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of a song?
A few days later in an oak,
I found the arrow still unbroke,
And a beautiful song, from beginning to end,
I found again in a heart of a friend.
