Can you guess?

Capture a moment in time with a time capsule! That is exactly what students at Morse Street School in Freeport, Maine did this fall. When their tulips bloom they will dig it out, open it up, and read the messages they put inside.
What would you put into a time capsule planted in the tulip garden?
See their story:
Students pledged to "bloom" academically and in other ways by the time their tulip garden bloomed.
