We Will Not Give Up
by John Brolan
“New variant oh no”, it might not be that bad
The only thing we know is that it's more transmissive than the last one that we had
Each holiday we have more cases
We have to be more safe
We probably would all like to smack Covid in the head with lots and lots of vases
Covid is a bad thing none of us can deny it,
But even though it is so bad there are still good things we can do;
Like hiking, biking, and building a kiwi kit.
Vaccines are out, no one should pout.
Even though covid is still expanding
It is also getting weaker.

Covid-19
By Aaron
It spread all around the world.
Now we need to wear masks,
and everyone is bored.
But there is hope
As vaccines come
and we will be able to have more fun.
We will make it through this.
Bang, it’s Omicron,
a new Covid variant.
It's much more contagious than the others,
even if your careful you can still get it
But we can still make it through!
Aaron S is almost 9 years old. He loves baseball, math, and his dog.
COVID
by Zachary
When Covid started…
I was happy
that I got to do
more things on my computer.
I was happy
that I got to spend
more time with my family.
I was happy
that I was able
wake up later for school.
And I was reeeeally happy
that I was able to
watch more movies.
But all and all –
I wanted
Covid to be over :(

Covid 19?!?
by Emily Ippolito and Tess Kelley
Covid is how friends grow apart, families stay close, enemies stay far.
Masks in school, masks in stores, is this a never ending war?
And if covid is thinning are we winning?
Virus here, virus there, why is it everywhere!?!
Staying home is a bore, seeing things I’ve seen before.
‘Til this thing comes to an end, all you need is another friend.
After Covid is gone away, I will go to friends and play,
and celebrate the entire day!!!
Emily is a 4th grader. She’s an avid storyteller who loves the world of Harry Potter, playing with friends, and creating.

A Covid Poem
by Augie Miller
We thought it would only last a week, but then it struck, again and again.
But we fought back with lots of shots, and we found out that they helped, a lot.
Within a month, we had it at bay, but then the variant came. It killed many people, and scared lots of souls, But we fought back harder than ever, to stop it from breaking the world. Then the vaccine was approved for kids, and we all cheered, Hooray!
Augie is 9 years old. He is a voracious reader who loves to tinker, build, invent, and learn new things.

Our Poetry
By AP, EW, Phoebe Nasveschuk, Radha Basu, and Sydney Rosman
Wearing masks was a terrible task.
We spent time with family, casually.
People died far and wide.
We met our pet on the day he went to the vet.
As we weeped covid creeped.
We did cooking without looking.
People died and their loved ones cried.
We spent time at home then had an ice cream cone.
Covid was mean but was never seen.
We spent time at home on zoom or a phone.
The shot fought and fought and never got caught.
We go to school in a carpool.
We turn eight (or nine) and celebrate in wintertime.
AP is a creative and curious 9-year-old. She is an excellent friend.

The covid virus.
by Cam Marci
RUN! CHAOS!CHAOS!
Get your shot and run from the covid zombie imposter.
If you have a vaccination shot you might have a chance to escape.
But you can't use it on yourself.
Don't step in the lake full of viruses.
Either way…RUN!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

My Covid Poem
by Ellison Hall
Eighteen months stuck at home; I wanted a garden gnome. No I didn’t! That is boring! I just sat and sat and sat and sat. It was boring and coring and tore me to bits, all I could do was draw football kits.
Online school was very boring; the only good thing was book groups. I was schooling and schooling. Just i wasn’t! Playing video games was what I did! Then came hybrid, in school and out! Having fun both ways!
Couple months later, the vax came out only for adults I’m afraid, so I’ll have to wait…
Couple months later, I'm in school again! This time with the vax, five to twelve, so I’m safe..!

Bunny
by Harper
I have a smile I'm not sad, I give presents I'm not bad,
but I'm a bunny I am glad, but then covid came,
I lost my smile, I could not give presents,
I felt something new, I felt blue,
but then I got my bunny vaccine,
I felt happy again.

So no questions asked
As we wandered in a haze.

Positive Covid
by JN and Wesley
Covid Covid, stuck at home,
Covid Covid, bored at home.
Stuck at home for many years,
Covid Covid is always near!
Covid Covid for many years,
Covid Covid makes many fears,
Sometimes when Covid gets us down,
We can just stay away from town.
Covid Covid may be sad,
Covid Covid may be bad.
Covid Covid can’t go inside,
So how about you just go and hide?

Elizabeth’s Covid Poem
We had fight with a spike
And unmute your mike!
Wow its a task to hear you through your mask
Covids very scary and if you get it, it’s not merry
Then you realize your hands you need to sanitize.
