Lucy, who lives in Charles City, Va., has a tip that will help in and out of school: She says she's learning about how to add coins so she can use money."It's important to know that, so someone doesn't scam you," she said."Learn kindness and how to help others. You can have lots of friends if you are kind!" Lucy knows this better than anyone — she won a kindness award last school year.
"If you're an incoming sixth grader, for me at least, the change wasn't too different but I feel like you have to start branching out more friends-wise because the more friends you make in middle school the more friends you'll have in high school and honestly how are you going to survive school without good friends," Klara wrote.
