DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Many thanks to all of the school principals, school
librarians and teachers in East Haven for their
support and cooperation. We received more than
300 entries and the difficult task of choosing the
winners fell to an extraordinary group of Friends
of the Library. Most of all, we extend a special
thanks to all of the talented students who wrote
such wonderful poetry! Bravo!

Peace and Justice
by Augie Segger
Grade 2, St. Vincent de Paul School
Peace in my bedroom,
1 year ago (in 2008) I couldn’t get any peace to sleep
Because my (little) brother was too busy crying and whining!
Peace with my friends,
Everyone who is fast in my class makes fun of me
If only I could be fast
They give me high-fives, but say “too slow”
If only I could be fast!
PROBLEMS SOLVED!!
My (little) brother doesn’t cry anymore!
I’m still slow, but my friends don’t tease me anymore!
