Stringing it Together

by Heather Parker
     For people who wonder what those projects are that sit on the shelves of Mr. Beach’s room  they are string art projects or also known as curve stitching. These projects are for Geometry, yes, geometry.  They teach students how to make curves with straight lines. “I have used this project for the last ten years.” says Mr. Beach.
    For this project students had to make a proposal which is drawing out and designing something on graph paper before actually starting the actual project. The supplies for this project were:  a board, strings, cloth, and nails. “ It is different it wasn't just numbers.” replied Sammy Story.  The students only had two days to work on the proposal and they do not have any days scheduled to work on the actual project though. Students are allowed to work on the actual project in class as long as they have their work already done."It is a fun but hard project.” replies Brittany Jones
    If any one would like to see the creativeness of the geometry class students these projects are due December, 6th.  If any one does come in to see these projects please do not touch any projects.

Fishy Business

by Cole Browning
   “I mixed semen and eggs together.  It was a hoot.”  Esperanza proclaims when asked about the oceanography class’ field trip to the STEP facility Wednesday, November 12th. Mr. Frakes scheduled the trip so students could see the effort to restore the Chinook salmon population firsthand.
     While some may call STEP a fish farm, in actuality, it really is a fish farm.  The salmon are guided along their various stages of development and then released into the wild once they can fend for themselves.
    While on the field trip students were witness to some not-so-everyday occurrences, such as seeing bait fish shocked to death, fish being fed, and of course a fish story or two.  Hey, at least they got to leave school for a few hours.
    A time was to be had by all and a few more have become educated about the underground salmon movement.  Certainly a cause to take notice of and support in your area; the movement could always use another righteous human being, such as yourself.

Open House

By Amanda Palmer
    Student council members and some students in Mrs. Prater advisory group tried to have at least one student in each of the junior high teachers’ rooms.
    You could tell who was supposed to be in the room because they had ties on and as you went into the rooms they stamped the parents’ child’s schedule and by the time they left if they had at least four stamps then their name went into a drawing.
    In the library there was cookies and punch and in the book fair there were also books and other things that were for sell at that time.
    The open house was on November 10th form six to eight.
    “Most of the reason why not so many people showed up is because earlier that day teacher parent conferences were going on and most of the parents who went to that probably didn’t need or want to go to the open house,” said Janelle Batey.
    Parents could pick up their child's report cards in the councilors office during the open house and if they didn't then all report cards that were not picked up are going to be mailed to there house.
    The junior high were not the only students who had open house the high school did as well. Most of the teachers came up with a "neat" way to get students to bring their parents. Mr. Frakes was handing out 20 extra credit points and Mrs.Boe was handing out 10 extra credit points.

Save the Bowling Team

By Heather Parker
    This previous weekend the Reedsport braves girls' bowling team had a competition in Springfield.  This tournament started at 8:00 in the morning so they stayed in a hotel so they could be wide awake and ready to bowl and be at the Timber Bowl Lanes in springfield before 8:00.
    The girls team consists of Cassy Vos, Megan Mobbley, Jessica Parker, Quilly Wilmes, Rachell Roane and Heather Parker. After bowling 16, games to get into the semi-finals they took the top eight teams out of 16 Reedsport placing third.
    Then after bowling eight games they took the top three teams Reedsport again taking third place. As the team was getting ready to bowl to see if they would stay at third or move up in to second place some on who helped put this tournament together and made sure it ran smoothly came up to them and told them that they were not aloud to move on to the finals because they had two eighth graders on the team.
    The people running this competition never bothered to mention that to them before  taking their 50 dollar admission fee.  They then let them know that if the Runner up team Thursten did not get back her soon we could bowl but if they beat  the team they were competing against they could not move up to see if they could place first .  They also let them know that even if they bowled they were not aloud to metal. That is when the whole team replied that it wasn’t about the medals. All the work and dedication of this team was wasted because the people that made these rules couldn’t handle a team that had eighth graders on it to beat the high school teams that had been bowling longer than the Reedsport Braves girls team.
