Alice Through the Looking Glass By Ashlynn M.


     May 27 “a whole new level of madness is coming into theaters.” Alice Through The Looking Glass is the sequel to Alice In  Wonderland that came out 5 years ago in 2010. Many people who like Alice In  Wonderland are excited for this movie. Alice In Wonderland has been popular for many years, and has many fans.
 

     Alice Through The Looking Glass is a whole new adventure Alice goes through to save the Mad Hatter, but, she has to go back in time! She will most likely have problems as she did in the first one too. However, I heard Alice will have powers in this one. That may not be true, but I guess we'll find out on May 27th, won't we?
 

     Not many people are aware of the book this movie is based on. Alice Through The Looking Glass is actually based on a book Lewis Carroll wrote after Alice In Wonderland. I have yet to read the book, so I do not know much about it. I’m hoping to read it before I see the movie. The book was originally published in 1871. Lewis Carroll has written many other books and more on the topic of Alice In Wonderland. I am very excited to find out more about this movie!

Earth Day Annual Contest By Jordan L. and Sarah S.


     On the 22nd of April, 2016, students from every grade came to the hallways to have a chalk draw off contest for Earth Day. Students had about 5 hours to draw and make the poster of your dreams. Many different students participated. You couldn't be failing any classes, or have any N’s or U’s for your conduct grade.  There were four winners, and each received a different prize. The first place winner was Gracie Tuckier, a sixth grader.

Students and teachers voted on their favorite poster by dropping money into the bucket next to the poster for which they wanted to vote. Students won depending on how much money they got dropped into their bucket. All the money that people earned was donated to the science department. A total of fifty-eight kids participated. On the week that we were supposed to be testing, Mr. Pokorny wanted to do something fun. Mr. Pokorny said, “The teacher I worked with in Florida did a chalk drawing contest every year.” Lastly, Mr. Pokorny wants the to be an annual event.
