Advice Column
by Marissa and Natalie
Hi, Marissa and Natalie here. We’re back with some questions, and some answers. So here we go…
Question:
I am not doing great in math. What should I do to get my grades up? – Grades
Answer:
Dear Grades,
You should consider using a tutor, or ask a friend that is good at math. Try paying close attention in class and if you don’t understand something, then ask questions. Don’t be embarrassed. Also, if it’s okay with your teacher, then see if you can come early in the morning or after school to get some help. I’m sure he or she would be fine with helping you. I hope this advice helps.
Fourth and Fifth Grade Concert
by Kassidy, Emma, and Lizi
As you should all know, the fourth and fifth grade concert at Central Middle School was a big HIT! We had the best time ever. The concert was based on the theme “Music Matters!” The fifth grade sang “Music is Always There for were Me”, “Born to Make Music”, and “We Rock We Rule”. We worked so hard to help with the concert!!!

D.A.R.E. Graduation
by Lia and Molly
The 5th graders D.A.R.E. graduation is on January 8, 2008, at 6:30 p.m. in Memorial School’s gym. Each 5th grader has to do a D.A.R.E. poster and an essay to pass D.A.R.E. From each classroom, there will be 5 poster winners and 2 essay winners. If you win, you will get a prize at graduation, and if you win for the essay you will get to read it out loud at the graduation. There will be extra stuff too, like everyone will particapate in a instrumental/song with Mrs.Towry. Also, you can do something extra like reading poems or performing skits. If you do one of those things, you will get a prize. One last thing is that one student from each classroom will say the pledge of allegiance.
White Sox
by Brandon
Hello my name is Brandon. I am going to write about the Chicago White Sox. This year the White Sox came in second to last and their hitting was not too good. I think pitching was okay, but in 2008 it’s going to improve. I think there are some good and bad players on the team. Also, there are a couple of fast runners, like Scott Podsednick and Jerry Owens. Also, the White Sox had a rookie last year, Josh Fields, who is pretty good. This year Josh Fields had 23 homeruns and more then 60 RBI’s. I think the White Sox might pick up some key players.
