Friendship by Isaac Akins

They are helpful when someone gets hit or they can help you get the help you need. And you can buy their food when you go shopping  and talk to them. If you get mad you can talk to your friend so you don't get in trouble by your mom and your dad and they take your game away from you.  And when you said sorry to your friend you can buy them food and you can help put the TV in the car and up in the house. A good friend helps you fix your car if your car is in trouble.  You can help to fix their car and you can help fix their house.

Good Friends by Talbot McKee

A good friend is someone who shares their stuff with you. They share secrets, but they don't tell your secrets to others. When you get injured, they cure your bruises. They can help you feel better when you are sad. They help you stay out of trouble. They can help you fix something that you have broken but can be fixed. If you have broken something that can't be fixed, they can help you replace it if they can. A good friend always does something good for you, and you should do something good for them, too.

What makes a great friend? By: Spencer Bach

I think good friends have qualities like being trustworthy, honest, polite, and neat. Good friends also need to be, funny, cool, awesome, and weird at times. A good friend might also have stuff in common with you and be there for you when you need them. These are the traits of a good friend.

What makes a good friend?

A good friend is someone who is trustworthy and honest; a good friend is someone who keeps secrets that you tell. A good friend asks you if you want to go somewhere with them. A good friend is someone who helps you if you are upset or if you are in need. A good friend is someone who likes the same stuff as you do. A good friend might like the same movies as you do. A good friend might invite you to a birthday party. A friend might get you stuff that you didn’t want. A good friend is someone who plays video games or board games with you.

Friendship by Isaiah Akins

They are helpful and they say hi and they are awesome and when someone gets hurt they help pick them up and they work it out.  When we play our games they take turns, they share other stuff. Sometimes they pick us up for youth group and we take him for movies and food. They are playful. they let you borrow their car. They borrow money and they pay you back. They share food they let your borrow games over to the house and they borrow your games.

What makes a good friend? by Mike Brinker

What makes a good friend?

Someone who is nice.

They make me happy and feel good about myself.

They make me laugh a lot.

They stick up for me when someone is mean to me.

They are trustworthy and keep my secrets.

When they promise that they will do something they keep that promise.

They are always there for you to cheer you up when your sad or mad.

They care about you.

Mrs. Bright: Teacher Extraordinaire by Parent, Karla Akins

As a former homeschool Mom, I was very nervous about my twin sons attending the public high school, but Mrs. Bright has made the transition for my sons extraordinarily smooth.

We often hear a lot about what teachers do wrong in the media, but rarely do we hear of the sacrifices of our teachers. So I'm posting this on the class blog to sing her praises because I don't think she gets enough. (I volunteer in her class as the "blog teacher," helping the students create this blog, which is why I have access to post this.)

Mrs. Bright is a teacher whose heart is with the students. She teaches people -- not curriculum. She puts their needs first and tries to perceive things through their eyes. She wins their heart by respecting them and delighting in their accomplishments.

She is constantly going over and above the call of duty in preparing life skills lessons and activities that the students not only enjoy, but learn from. Whether it's cooking or learning to reconcile a checkbook, Mrs. Bright and her paraprofessionals (I don't know all their names, but they are worthy of mention, too), are constantly on top of the students' needs trying to meet them.

I can't say enough good about Mrs. Bright's Life Skills class and this wonderful, gifted, caring teacher.

Let's give three cheers for Mrs. Bright!
