3rd Grader Almost Kidnapped
(...False Alarm...)
A third grader was almost kidnapped on April 18th during recess at Ardenwood Elementary! According to the principal's announcement to the whole school, the boy was smart to scream his head off so the kidnapper put him down. Some students passed the story that the same story happened at Warwick Elementary. GWN wants everyone to be safe, so PLEASE walk home with your friends or family.
Diane Zhou's class along with some other Intermediate classes were out for extra recess on that Friday afternoon. The teachers were urgently getting the students back to class. Diane knew something was wrong, but really? Something stolen? Probably not that dangerous...but 3 minutes later, the principal announced the scary incident. Please be very, very careful!
False alarm! On April 20th, Diane's mom received an email from the child's parents. It said that the child ran away himself and “didn't know the gravity of running away from school.” The false alarm notice also came at school on Monday, April 21st. Don't scare people like that and still be safe please!

Meet David Schwartz
Another event on April 18th! Diane Zhou got to meet an author named David Schwartz. Actually, the whole school met him, but Diane and other Honorable Mention students from the Young Author's contest got to eat lunch with Mr. Schwartz!
Mr. Schwartz says that he gets his ideas from wondering. He says “wondering is wonderful.” He loved big numbers and told a story about how he made a nuisance to his first and second grade teachers. He would ask if he had a million hairs on his head or how many blades of grass there was outside. He also said he had never planned to be an author; he wasn't exactly a great writer by nature. He wrote 50 books.
David Schwartz had many careers before being an author. He was a road painter, builder, teacher, veterinarian assistant, and more before writing. His first book went to 18 publishing companies before it was able to be published! “If you don't succeed the first time, try try again,” he told us. The first 17 companies, he said, probably thought his books weren't the right type. The 18th company found Mr. Schwartz's first book very unique so they wanted to publish it. The other 17 publishers were probably looking for something the same style as before. It's amazing he actually continued to “try try again”!
