Kids offer presidential advice
The week after the general election, Kid Scoop writers were asked to send in their thoughts form the "Tell What the New President Should Do for Kids" assignment.
Several were published in The Press weekly edition, but here are a few more worth sharing:

Dear President,
Good job winning the election! I hope you will make good choices in the future. We children hold the future in our hands. We will learn from you. You make good choices, we will make good choices. We have the chance to make America the best it can be. So make good choices and help children and the country you love so much! Prove yourself to us! Many people are doubting you! This is your chance!

Dear President,
I agree with you that you should build a wall to protect and most of the bad guys come from Mexico.

Dear Mr. President Trump,
May you please get rid of hurtful people? May you have people that are rich pay a little more? May you give medals to people who work hard in life? Can you promise to be respectful to everyone?

Dear Trump,
Trump, you should go to every state and give every kid $1,000 because their hard work of learning at school and staying focused. Trump you should make it better for kids in Africa because they are probably very scared and need help. Trump make it better for the people that are sick and hurt and kids that have a hard life.

Dear Mr. Trump,
Please do not start World War 3. Help save kids and help them be healthy and safe. It would be nice if you cared about other people than just yourself. You would be a great president. Sometimes could you let kids take over in school? Also could you let kids eat food and candy in the classroom? Remember, be a good person. Everybody's watching you.
