Dear Blue Sky School

-

Dear Blue Sky School,




In the past I had a very tough time, I wasn't going to school, I didn't believe in myself, and I didn’t trust anyone. I felt as if everyone had given up on me, but most of all I had given up on myself. Thanks to Blue Sky School my whole life has been changed for the better. Blue Sky has helped me so much, when I’m here I learn, I grow, and I take huge leaps towards my future. This environment helped me realize that I always had talents but needed a way to express them and allow them to shine.






I want to say thank you to everyone at Blue Sky for giving me the chance to experience this school. The past four months have been the best of my life. If you would have told me two years ago that I would be in such an astonishing place with such amazing people I wouldn't have believed you. However, everyone at Blue Sky has made me feel so loved and respected and you all mean so much to me. I have actually learned stuff here and I have grown so much. I have made actual real friends that I hope to keep close to me for the rest of my life. Everyone was so supportive and kind every single day. I loved the doggy piles, being Emi’s human pillow, doing our bikeride, going on walks at lunch, hanging out with my friends, walking with friends in the mornings. Having amazing conversations in the cars while on field trips, acting in our play, Annie and Otto. Acting in Will’s plays and not having to feel embarrassed about it. Thank you for changing my life forever. I know I’m not the only one leaving but I think I speak for all of us when I say, we love Blue Sky, and we are sad to leave. I hope that someway somehow everyone who has left and who is leaving can come back one day. Now that I have made a very sappy and cheesy paragraph I want to say: “have a great summer! I love you guys.”






Sincerely Jessica Elizabeth Rice

Thought and Emotions are like Snowballs by Bella

Thoughts and emotions are like snowballs; if you don’t stop them from rolling down a hill, they get bigger. If you’re upset, but you don’t find the cause or solution, and leave it lingering instead, then it will keep getting bigger and bigger until it smacks you in the face, hard. However, if you stop the snowball, you can stop the negative emotion or thought. But snowballs aren’t all bad. Sometimes they can be good, like when you’re with a really good friend, and you tell an inside joke and you both start laughing. You’re bouncing off of each other’s energy and happiness, and you can’t stop laughing. That’s also the snowball effect.   It might be hard at first, but one way to control your thoughts and emotions is by trying to become more self-aware of them. To really try to identify why you’re feeling a certain way, and really be in the mindset of ‘Okay, so I’m feeling this way, why am I feeling like this?’ Once you’ve answered that, you can move on to asking yourself ‘What...

How It Feels to Be the “Bad Kid” By Michael

In grade 2, I started getting in trouble all the time because I didn’t really like school. I thought there were more fun things to do, so I did them. I got in trouble for that. The teacher was making the kids do normal school stuff like writing, math, French and reading. I would talk when I wasn’t supposed to or just play around at my desk instead of working. When someone would find me doing those things, they would send me to the hall. I would play hockey with a pencil and paper ball. That was better than being in the classroom. I would always stay outside longer than I was supposed at recess to and hide in my locker instead of going to class. Then, either my teacher or another teacher would see me. They would assume that I was just misbehaving. Really, I didn’t want to go into the class and do my work. I didn’t think I could do a good job at it. I felt bad about myself. They would say, “Go to the office.” I told myself I didn’t really care. Everyone started thinking I was ...
