Valentine’s Day by Nicole Jones


I am looking forward to Valentines Day because I share time with my friends and my staff. The staff at my house give me chocolate and we watch a movie! I like to make cards for my friends and my staff, I decorate them with hearts.

I Like… by Anonymous


I like many things; I like to dance and sing. I like to color and draw. I like to wear nice clothing. I like it when my hair is done. I like to eat soup and watch movies with my friends!

Movie History by Kevin Giordano


M3GAN (pronounced “Megan”) is a 2022 American science fiction horror film directed by Gerard Johnstone. It was written by Akela Cooper from a story by Cooper and James Wan (who also produced with Jason Blum). Allison Williams and Violet McGraw star, Amie Donald physically portrays M3GAN, and Jenna Davis voices the character. Its plot follows an artificially intelligent doll, who develops self-awareness and becomes hostile toward anyone who comes between her and her human companion.

Animals by Florence Scribner


I chose to write about my favorite animals this month. The animals that I enjoy are cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, ducks, chicks, fish, and deer. I really like baby deer; they are so cute. I also enjoy ponies and horses. When you go to a circus, you see the horses do different exercises. Some horses also race, they are very fast. I have also seen some other horses pull a wagon behind them with people in it.

PINK by Anonymous


On Valentine’s Day, I am going To wear pink! Pink jacket, pink shirt, and gray pants! I even have pink gloves and a pink hat because it will still be cold!

Winter by Jack French


Right before winter, the weather begins to get cold. The outdoor cats and dogs begin to hide, the bears get hungry and look for food to eat. You close the windows in your house because the house will get cold. Not long after the snow starts to fall and everything becomes white. I do not like the cold, I do think the snow is pretty.

Ingredients needed:

  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup biscuit baking mix
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 package chopped frozen broccoli
    thawed, and drained.
  • 8 ounces Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cubed cooked ham.

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
  • Lightly grease a 10-inch quiche dish.
  • eat milk, eggs, Parmesan cheese, baking mix,
    and butter in a large bowl until well combined;
    batter will be lumpy. Stir in broccoli, Cheddar
    cheese, and ham.
  • Pour into the prepared quiche dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and
    the top is golden brown, about 50 minutes.

Poems by Patty by Patty Keenan


Roses are Red, Violets are blue
You are mine, I am yours. My
Heart is filled with love. My dreams
Are filled with love. You are always
On my mind, always in my heart
Forever.
