Del.icio.usThe following was submitted by a borough student as part of a class project on which bird should represent the country: the bald eagle or the wild turkey.
My name is Joseph Ciciliato. I am in third-grade at PS 94. I am writing to tell you that I have a special bird in mind to represent our country. The bald eagle, instead of the wild turkey, should be our national bird.
I believe the bald eagle is a good choice for our national bird. It is a strong and brave bird. The bald eagle is a symbol of strength and courage. I would not choose the wild turkey because it is shy and easily captured or food.
I am glad the bald eagle is our national symbol. It shows our country’s strength and courage. I want to thank you for your time and hope you agree we should keep the bald eagle as our national symbol.

I'm very proud of you. Keep up the great work. Love you DADA.
Until we emphasize important topics like geography or basic math our country will continue its steady decline.
