Bedroom Story
I closed my eyes and opened the door praying that my room would be clean. I opened my eyes and gasped where my dresser once sat was bare. I looked down on the floor and there it was broken into at least 1000 pieces. My clothes were scattered all over the floor. I looked in my closet there wasn't one stitch of clothing left in it. All that was left to my bed was the frame if you would even call it a bed. The matress was all burnt to pieces. I thought it couldn't have happened and that it was all a dream but it was true my sisters have struck (again)!

How to Kick The Can
To play the game kick the can you have to know the rules first.The rules are that there is one person it, the person that is it has to try to catch half the amount of people that are there.
Say there are 16 people ,you would have to catch 8. The next rule is that if the person who is it tags you you are out. There is a second way to get someone out ,the person who is it has to say 1,2,3 on (their name) but the person who is it has to see them the whole time while they are saying it. At the first of the game the person that's it closes their eyes and turns away from the can ,Then someone kicks it and everybody runs behind cover. The person who's it has to run and get the can and put it back in its original place. If you were tagged or seen there is a bright side ,if one of your team mates kicks the can you are free to go .The final two rules are that there is no kicking the can until a team mate is caught and that if you were the first one caught when the person who's it reaches the limit of people you are it for the next round. If you play this correctly with the right amount of people I guarantee that you will have an awesome time! Brendan

Earth day
Earth Day is the one day of the year that people actually do something good for the environment. Sometimes it does a lot of good. But then the day after everything is back to normal. People go back to leaving all the lights on all day and using all their cars. I think it would be nice if everyone always did what they did on earth day. If everyone acted like they do on Earth Day there would be no more pollution, no more smog, then people in Beijing could see the stars at night. Then the ice in the arctic wouldn't melt and the Polar Bears wouldn't go extinct. If everyone acted like they did on Earth Day the world would be a better place. Eric
Dear fellow students, teachers and fellow members of our community,
We as a society have the opportunity to choose our future, not only for ourselves, but for generations to come. Everyday we do things that hurt our enviroment and ozonelayer, when we leave our rooms, some may leave their lights on, when we are away from the television set some may leave it on, We may leave the water running when we don't need it to be. These things we do are very unnessasary, they are simple little things, but simple is a big word when it comes to the enviroment. If everyone was to shut their lights out when they are not needed we would save enough energy to run around 10 small villages! We can do so much to help our Earth, we can save energy by shutting down electronics when they are not needed, we can rycycle and instead of driving our cars to work or school take a bicycle.
We don't realize what is hapening to ourselves and our surrondings when we drive cars or don't recycle. We get too polluted and deseases start to run through the air we call "fresh". Deseases such as cancer make it into our lakes and rivers killing our fish. Bears die because of the fish they are eating, Our Dear and Moose population starts to become low because of the toxic water they are drinking from our lakes. It is just one big chain! Animals and plants start to become extinct because of this! This is unhealthy, cruelty we are placing on this Earth!
When you think you are doing something good for our enviroment when you are reusing small plastic waterbottles, you are not!
Poisonus gas starts to build up in the water bottles so when you leave it sit and then refill it with water, the gas runs into the water and you are drinking it.
When you look on the bottom of the bottle make sure it is maked 4 or up if it is below 4 it is no good and will fill with gas when it is left sitting!
Recycle your bottles and use non-plastic ones.
It can make such a differnece in our ozonelayer and will prevent pollution. We should not be afraid to walk outside, scared of catching cancer or other deseases caused by pollution! This is a free country and we are most likely not free from the deseases. The kids should not be afraid of getting sick and neither should you, we should not have to lose animals and plants because people aren't paying more attention to what they are doing! Think of the homeless people on the streets and how all the money you are spending on plastic waterbottles and other things like gas could be donated to a charity.
We should be helping the Earth as much as we can each and everyday, but if you don't please on April 22 shut off your electronics and drive a bike to school or work! Show the Earth and wildlife how much you care! So recycle, reuse and save energy now before it is to late! Savannah
