Revolutionary Projects

by Amanda Palmer
  In social studies Mr. Stampfli assigned a project that the students had to do on the revolutionary period.
  The projects began on October 24th. There were many things that were due before the final project was actually due, on October 27th the students had to tell Mr. Stamphfli what topic they wanted to do their project on, and on November 1st the research organizer was due.
  There are a lot of different topics that Mr. Stamphfli had listed that the students had to choose form. Some of them were making an outfit that people from that time period wore, or make a tri-fold about toys that children played with back in that time, or build a model of a place or person, another choice was to do a biography on a famous or not so famous person in the revolutionary period.
  The final projects are due on November 18th. On that day the students will be showing their projects to the class.
 

Competitive Reading

by Bebette Solorzano
   "The seventh and eighth graders are at it again with the annual battle of the books. This year the books are split up into two divisions which are, division one and division two. Some of the books are new and some are old, some have been read and some haven't even been heard of.
  Division one has:
  • Granny Torrelli makes soup
  • Gregor the Overlander
  • Kensuke’s Kingdom
  • Mayor of Central Park
  • Olive's Ocean
  • Rodzina
  • Sahara Special
  • The Tale of Desperaux.

  Division two has:

  • City of Ember
  • Conen Bearer
  • East
  • Eragon
  • Into the Wind
  • Millient Min Girl Genvis
  • River Between Us
  • Shakespeare Bats Cleanup
  • Touching Spirit Bear
  • Orange Trees of Versailles.

  Battle of the books is not only a junior high “thing” the kids also did it at Highland Elementary. Vivian Barksdale says “Yeah, we did do it at Highland and it was not very fun. This year I am expecting the same stuff but also it could be a little different because we are in junior high now.”

Reading Can Be Fun

by Amanda Palmer
  “Seconds!” shouted the students who were scooping ice cream, pouring pop, and putting straws and spoons in the cups. On Friday the 28th of October there was a small root beer float party for students who reached 75% of their accelerated reader goal. This was given by Mrs. Hixenbaugh, the junior high english teacher. Points ranged form 5 to 45.
    The school was on C schedule which means that there was an assembly after 7th period and all the periods were shorter than usual.
    As the high school students went to an assembly the students who reached their AR goal went to the cafeteria and enjoyed their root beer float.
     The students who didn't reach their goal stayed in their 7th period classes or went to Mrs. Hixenbaugh’s room.

Gooey Fun with Carmel Appels

by Emily Thornton
  "With the tastiest treats in the school right now its amazing that the school hasn't made more money," said Mrs. Prater.
  The cost of caramel apples are $3.50 for the deluxe which has; an apple, caramel, dark chocolate, white chocolate, melted peanut butter chips, and nuts. A regular caramel apple only costs $2.00.
  The caramel apples are made by Mrs. Prater, and her class aides.
  The way students get the tasty treats is by signing up in the library with Mrs. Prater.
  Mrs. Prater was interviewed, she was asked how she got the idea of making caramel apples at school and selling them. Her reply was, "It all started in reading class one day when I was thinking of how to make money for the junior high students, and it grew form there".
  The school raised $36.00 when they only sold 15 apples. Caramel apples will be for sell until the end of the next two weeks.
  Anyone can buy a caramel apple, so please help out the junior high students and talk to Mrs. Prater.
