Kids talk back

The Daily Pilot asked students at Newport Elementary School in Newport

Beach: “What’s the best thing that happened to you this year?”

I made it to the all-stars for baseball, and we won the championship.

PETER KINNEY, 10

Newport Beach

That I made it to the all-stars for the first time in soccer, because

I love soccer and I get to keep playing. Usually, I don’t get to keep

playing after the season.

MEGAN STEVENSON, 9

Costa Mesa

That my brother was born. Shane. Oct. 10. ‘Cause it’s my first baby

brother.

BRITTINI RAFFI, 9

Newport Beach

This year, I got the best teacher, because she’s really nice.

BRODY VILORIA, 10

Newport Beach

The best thing that happened is we just got a new house in Newport

Beach. We haven’t moved in yet, but we got it. And I got the best

teacher: Mrs. Lester.
