Creative Writing
This is really
blank, isn't it? Do you want to know why?
Nobody put any creative writing, drawings, poems, or
anything in Ms. Sahly's box. The only way we
can keep this page in The Echo is if we have
creative writing to put on it. If we don't, we
end up with a big blank scary page...like this one!
So please hand in some creative things!
