THE GIANT ELF
By Kane and Nova
Once upon a time, there was an elf named Freddy. He had a sweet tooth. His mom was named TT and TT made him hot chocolate and then EVERYWHERE HE GOES HE SMELLS LIKE HOT CHOCOLATE.
One day, he noticed a bunch of raccoons following him - he wondered, “why in the world are they following me?” They kept getting closer and closer.so he trend around facing the raccoons then he said “Do you need something?” they said. “We need hot chocolate” in a judging way. So Freddy got his car and told the raccoons to get in. “Let’s go find a Starbucks!” and they all piled into his Mini Cooper and sped off.
They slipped their sunglasses and drove across the bay to find a Starbucks. When they got that they started to lost interest in hot chocolate. SO, they decided to leave Starbucks and go to Target instead. They had to find some Christmas gifts and wanted to buy new Christmas socks. So they did!
-THE END
ELVES ON STRIKE!

Naughty list
Bullying
Robbing a bank
kidnapping
yelling at mother
Running a red light
Nice list
Being nice
Helping the poor
Giving someone a gift
Not running a red light
Not yelling at mother
Expection:
If I run a red light and then go to court and got paid it off then I would still be on the nice list.
Conclusion:
I'm on the nice list but I only got a small gift because I ran a red light.
I think I belong on the nice list because I'm such an angel and so nice to everyone. So vote for me to be on the nice list!
NAUGHTY LIST
STEALING
BEING MEAN
ATTACKING SOMEONE
LYING
YELLING
NICE LIST
BEING NICE
HELPING SOMEONE
DOING THE RIGHT THING
TELLING THE TRUTH
SAYING KIND THINGS
Exception:
SOMEONE NAUGHTY SHOULD BE ON THE NICE LIST BECAUSE THEY WERE GOOD TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR.
SOMEONE WHO IS NICE SHOULD BE ON THE NAUGHTY LIST BECAUSE THEY YELLED at their mom but said sorry at the end of the day.
Conclusion:
Some reasons that you would be on the naughty list is, doing bad things or not doing what you are supposed to do. Some reasons that you would be on the nice list would be to say nice things or help someone with something. If you yell at someone or snap something, you will be on the naughty list. If you are calm and talk to someone nicer or try to calm someone down you will be on the right track to the nice list. Be a good person and do not steal and be a good person.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Nice List
Being nice
Turning into Robinhood
Reading
Being respectful
Helpful
Naughty List
Being naughty
Stealing
NOT reading
Being unrespectful
Being rude
Exception:
Someone could be sneaking in bad things without anyone noticing, so they could still be on the nice list.
Someone could be being influenced to do these bad things, so they could still be on the naughty list.
Conclusion:
So the nice list is a list of people who are nice. Like they could give to the poor, stuff like that. The naughty list is for typically mean or bad people. Like stealing a lollipop from a baby.

Christmas is a time to get presents and give them to other people It is a time to celebrate Jesus's birthday. We go to the lights of joy (That's the new name) so that's my tradition. I look forward to it because it grows every year and I like the lights as well.
We wrote biographies of a person of choice, then created ugly holiday sweaters for them. It was a hoot! Take a look!
Thank you for being a part of our Academy Way Family in 2024! May 2025 bring much success, hope, and love!
