How Not to Save a Sand Castle

By Linda Ruggieri

Gavin and Lily were working hard on their sand castle. They decorated it with shells. They built towers and doors. Their castle was gigantic!

Lily built a high wall to protect the sand castle from the wind. Gavin said he thought the wall would stop people from accidentally stepping on the castle and smashing it.

People walked by and said nice things about the sand castle. Lily and Gavin’s mom took a photograph of it. Then she said it was time for lunch. Lily and Gavin ran with their mom to the snack bar. “We will finish our castle when we get back,” they said.

After lunch, the children went back to the beach. But where was the sand castle? Did the wind blow it down? Did someone step on it?

Lily and Gavin’s mom explained what had happened. The ocean waves had moved up the beach. The rise and fall of the big waves had pushed water farther up onto the shore and the sand. The water must have washed away their castle.

“Some of our shells are scattered around here,” said Lily. “We should build another sand castle.”

“Okay,” Gavin agreed. “Let’s get started!

Jane Addams; A Life of Service

By Kimberly M. Hutmacher

Born into a wealthy Illinois family with a long history of public service, Jane Addams wondered what she could do to help others. Jane remembered the Chicago slums she had seen as a child, and she thought she might want to open a place that would provide education and recreation to the poor.

In 1889, Jane and her friend Ellen Gates made Jane’s dream a reality. They opened Hull House in Chicago. Among its many activities, Hull House provided a place for poor immigrant families to play games, listen to poetry readings or take music or painting classes.

Jane Addam’s public service didn’t stop with Hull House. Jane worked for laws to end child labor and campaigned for women’s rights. She served as president of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and was chairman of the Women’s Peace Party. Jane Addams won the Nobel peace prize in 1931. She died on May 21, 1935. All these years later, we still celebrate the service and life of Jane Addams.
