Earth Day
by Molly
Earth Day at Memorial School was a hit! A few people from each class in fifth grade presented PowerPoint presentations. Mrs. Reeks’ class presented PowerPoint’s on what experiments they did, such as making paper, creating and cleaning an oil spill, and completing a water filtration experiment.
I presented what my class,(Mrs. Stec’s class) did. Everyday at lunch we went down and helped kids sort their garbage so we could recycle it. We did a fantastic job! And last, but not least, Mr. Reilly’s class showed a video of all their cool projects they made out of recyclable stuff. Guess what? We were even interviewed by a real newspaper, the Southtown Star.

Baseball Update
by Brandon
Hi, this is Brandon again back with more baseball. My team is doing well so far. We are 3-0 and I pitched a no-hitter in 4 innings. This year baseball is going to be different because we have pickoffs, leadoffs and walks, so I have to remember a lot of things. That’s it for now.

Interviews with the Cast of Aladdin Jr.
by Natalie
Recently, I interviewed Marissa (Aladdin) and Molly (Genie) who recently performed in Memorial School’s musical, Aladdin Jr.
Q. What made both of you want to try out for Aladdin Jr.?
Marissa – I like plays and I have been in a lot of them. They are fun, I think I’m a pretty good singer, and I like to act. I am sooooo happy I got a lead role for once!
Molly – I wanted to try out because I thought it would be fun working with Mrs. Towry, the director, and I thought I could get a lead role because I practice hard and I think I’m a pretty good actress.
Q. How would you have reacted if you had not gotten the role you wanted?
Marissa – I would have been sort of sad, but I would happy with whatever role I got. Besides, you get a role no matter what.
Molly – I would have been pretty upset, but would have had hope to still get a lead role. I would have been happy with that too!
Q. Do you think that being in Aladdin Jr. will make you want to be in more musicals at Central Middle School?
Marissa – YES! I like working with my friends and I love musicals! So… I’ll definitely try out next year and throughout middle school
Molly – YES! Working with Mrs. Towry and my other cast mates has been a great experience. I can’t wait to try out next year.

Hi again! In the last issue, I was answering the question about helping animals. Here is some more information about helping dogs.
Did you know that a nutritious diet helps to keep your dog healthy and disease-free through its lifetime? That information was from Banfield, the pet hospital. Their website is www.banfield.net.
Aladdin Jr.
by Marissa
Aladdin Jr. was an awesome performance. The cast did great and we had so much fun. We would like to thank Mrs. Towry and the rest of the cast. You guys did awesome.
My other director went and she said that it was amazing and she is really good, so that is a compliment. That means Mrs. Towry is also really talented.
” ONE JUMP AHEAD,” ” A WHOLE NEW WORLD,” ARABIAN NIGHTS,” ” WHY ME?,” AND ” YOU NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE ME” were some of the songs from Aladdin Jr. THEY ARE AWESOME!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ALADDIN JR.CAST! YOU GUYS DID AWESOME, INCLUDING ME!
