In honor of Bill Nye The Science Guy: I have taken the liberty and time saving opportunity to only list the most “interesting names” on this modified poem. One student -Piaget- does not attend our school. She was a contestant in a regional spelling bee and I couldn’t resist adding her name in [...]

After reading about Iceland , we have determined that we are misfits in America. There are [...]
