Sunday, May 11, 2008
HAMILTON — Eleven-year-old Siera Wilkes believes she is a better person because of her mother.
"If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't believe in myself enough to get good grades," the Harrison Elementary fourth-grader said. "When I want to give up, she doesn't let me give me up."

On this Mother's Day, Hamilton children say they are thankful for clean laundry, shopping trips, homework help, and moms who are just plain "nice."
Mother's Day is the peak day of the year for long distance telephone calls, and retailers report that Mother's Day is the second highest gift-giving holiday in the United States — Christmas is the highest.
"Mother's Day is great," said Ling Davidson, a fourth-grader at Fillmore Elementary. "Because mothers always want to do what we want to do, and mothers are always so sweet."
