Students Play Presidential Role


May 21, 1997

Creative Zone is a showcase of art, poetry, short stories and other creative work by elementary and middle school students. Fifth-grade students at Sheridan Hills Christian School in Hollywood were asked what they would do if they were president of the United States.

``I would lower the taxes because some people can't pay all that money. I would also decrease the violence that we have. I would raise the medical technology so people would die less.''

_ Camilla Galindo

``I would try to stop the wars and stop innocent people from dying. I would try to get poor people jobs. I would clean up the litter in the world and be preparing for the 21st century.''

_ Will Garner

``I would stop abortion and lower the taxes. I would give the tax money to help people and animals. I would try to help all the countries without any food, water or clothes. I would help the schools that do not have a lot of supplies. I would try to make shelters (or homes) for homeless people and I would try to make world peace.''

_ Sarah Chaplin

``I would lower taxes, fine litter-bugs and, above all, save the wetlands. I would make more donations to the needy, more shelters for the homeless, better conditions in bad neighborhoods and outlaw cigarettes and drugs.''

_ Victoria Sandbrook
