School Ski Trip

This year, seventh grade kids had the opportunity to go skiing with their literacy class. The location was called Nordic Ski Center, and the people there were very nice by letting us use their equipment. They al-so sold items there like candy bars, hot chocolate, and cold beverages. There were three activities, including skiing, art, and building a snow cave. In the art activity, kids painted detailed trees and added salt to give it a nice effect. Then, they hung up all the paintings together on a wall. While some kids were building a snow cave, oth-ers would throw snow balls at each other and slide down a small hill. Building a snow cave activity was very fun. The main event, which was skiing of course, had many kids that had never skied before, so it was a real challenge for them. Most of the trail was flat, but there were also some spots were you would go downhill. Some kids would fall at the end of it. It was also a challenge to get back up after falling. Well, this was a very fun experience, and you should thank all the teachers that made

this possible.

Reading During Recess?

Mr. Sacquety, a sixth grade reading

teacher, has made up his mind in making

the sixth graders read during recess. He has

made a list of all the students that haven’t

met the class reading requirements. He has

created a new reading program that tor-

ments all the souls of innocent sixth grad-

ers. While some kids are being educated by

books during recess, the rest of the kids

who aren’t reading are having fun and the

time of their lives. Unless you want to read

during recess and not have fun, start read-

ing at home! Also, if you don’t go in for

reading, Mr. Sacquety will give you a DE-

TENTION!!!

Outdoor School Preparation

Dear 6th graders,

Outdoor school can be fun, but if you’re not prepared it will be a huge stress. Having gone last year I know a lot about it. These are some of the best tips I can give

you.

1. Make sure you pack everything, even small things like Chap Stick, contact solution, etc. The last thing you want to be doing is ask-ing everyone to borrow some-thing.

2. Dress for being out in the woods. Girls, don’t wear a miniskirt with your favorite white high top Con-verse. You don’t need to look good for the trees.

3. YOU ARE GOING TO GET DIRTY! It’s not that big of a deal.

4. Go to outdoor school ready for whatever it brings you. Be open-minded! Have fun!

5. Be grateful. The people there are volunteering their time for you, so don’t lack gratitude.

Wy'east's Murals

Wy’east has quite a few amaz-ing murals in and around the school. They are all very unique, artistic, and make the school brighter. A mural that most people see when coming to Wy’east is the one outside of the gym. It is an eagle soaring with Mt. Hood in the background. In the lobby area of the P.A.C. is a beautiful wall painting of Hood River’s local wildlife that includes many animals. Purples and blues tend to be the main background in this mural. There are two fairly new mu-rals on the outside of the P.A.C. One of them is a waterfall with a bridge going across it, and the other is a mountain and a lake. The waterfall comes down the sides of the entrance and turns into a stream at the bottom. It is supposed to be Multnomah Falls. The second mural looks similar to a view from Lost Lake. In this wall painting there is a reflection of Mt. Hood in the water, a man fishing in a boat, and a pretty blue sky. For a couple weeks, kids would come for sev-enth period after school, paint individual tiles, and put them up in the cafeteria. The final product is an orchard, lake and a few mountains. Its design is very unique! On each side of that mural is a mosaic tile picture, one of a tree, and one of Mt. Hood. When you go out to recess look behind the equipment and you will see an eagle that has just caught its dinner, with a lake, Mt. Adams, and

green hills in the background.

SHORT STORIES

Emma Diaries

Dear Diary,

I’ve been enjoying annoying Mr. Sac. Today I enjoyed taking apart his desk, building a house out of the book shelf, hiding the hall passes, making boring pictures epic by photo bombing them, cleaning his disgusting microwave, and dusting the class-

room.

What should I do next??? If you have any ideas put them in the advice boxes.

The Tale of Detention

First, you walk into a room covered in a red substance that seems too real. Sud-denly you are grabbed by Mrs. Hedges, and you can’t do anything about it. Then you are strapped to a torture machine. You get stretched until all of your bones give a satisfying, “POP!” After that, she makes you correct math papers that are twelfth grade level! After all that correcting you have to write a six-page paper about how bad you’ve been, and if you survive, you are drowned in a pot of boiling water. Peo-ple say that people coming out of detention seem to have burn marks and are a little bit taller. So, if you get a detention you de-

serve to be punished.

Family

How many siblings do you have? I have five siblings and they’re a pain in the back, but I love them anyway. I don’t have another choice. Well, four of them are girls, and there is only one boy. Boys, for some reason, are troublemakers, right? In my family it’s the other way around. My four younger, sweet, irresistible, and adora-ble sisters are the troublemakers. I don’t know how they could look so innocent and cute when they are seriously little mon-sters! Their names are Jade, Ruby, Amber, Sapphire, and my brother, Bryan. If you haven’t noticed, I am so jealous of my younger sisters because they got precious stone names and I didn’t. (So not fair) And my brother, he has some problems with electronics in hand and he is the lazy type that lies down on the couch all day. The more we tell him to put it down the more

he tries to use it; if my mother or father takes it away he goes straight to his room and comes back out with a book in hand. I am the oldest child of my family, Bryan is the second, Jade is the third, Ruby is the fourth, Amber is the fifth, and Sapphire is the sixth. I know what you are thinking right now, “Wow. That’s a lot.” I know and I couldn’t believe it myself either. Take my advice, it’s not easy. I am serious and a family like mine is a lot of responsibility. I will tell you one thing though; when you meet the Telles family there is no going

back.

April Fool’s Day Pranks

April Fool’s Day is celebrated on the first day of April. It’s a favorite day for all the pranksters out there. It’s a free pass to play tricks on your family and friends! Pranks can either be super fun and funny or just turn out completely wrong, but that’s a risk some people are willing to take to get a good laugh. Odds are, if you play a prank on somebody they will want to get revenge, so watch your back! Some people want to prank others, but the problem is they just don’t know how! I have the solution to all your prob-lems, pranksters. Here are some great pranks you might want to play next year,

and they might help you out!

1.Trick your friends by telling them you’re moving and see what they do! (I did this and I got a good laugh out of it.)

2.Take a bunch of sticky notes, write funny things on them and stick them all over your parent’s car or your friend’s locker or bedroom! (I did this too.)

3.Take a bunch of shredded paper and spill it all over your friend’s room or over there head when they walk in!

4.Now this one’s kind of long but really funny and clever! First, find a pan, tin foil, and a brown piece of paper. Cut the letter “E” out of the brown paper twice so you have two letters E’s. Next, stick the E’s in the pan and put the tinfoil over the pan so they can’t see what’s in it. Label it or leave a note that says,

“Brownies.” When the person opens it they will see “Brown E’s. By: Jessica Mendiola

Parkour

Parkour, a way to express yourself with unique tricks, is a fun way to exer-cise and stay fit. Doing Parkour can help you with physical health. The way it helps your physical health is by being active and moving your body, it improves your cardiovascular and muscular health. An-other reason Parkour is fun is because you get to express yourself by jumping off buildings, jumping over items like trash cans and rails, and also doing tricks like back flips, front flips, and other cool and unique tricks. Parkour is a fun activity that you can just do for the fun of it with

friends and other people. Sometimes

the American Parkour Academy puts on competitions in cities where anyone can go, have fun, and hang out with old and new friends doing what you like to do. Clearly, Parkour is a fun activity in which you can express yourself, hang out, have

fun with friends, and stay fit.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large sauté pan, melt butter and add water.

Add the sliced apples and cook until apples are

tender and release juices. Meanwhile, in a sepa-

rate bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, tap-

ioca and self-rising flour. Place this mixture over

apples & toss in pan. Cook apples until they begin

to soften.

3. Place all topping ingredients into a bowl. Using

I chose this recipe, because it sounded and looked great for a little get together with your friends. You literally turn a pie into a little snack as fast as that. They are delicious and you can make some for your family, sell them at the farmers market downtown, or enter them in the fair. I got this rec-ipe off the website: http://www.gactv.com/gac/pac_ctnt/

GAME CENTER

Clash of Clans

The game Clash of Clans is a game where you have to attack other clans or vil-lages. You have to protect your village from other players by using your defenses and your troops. There are many warriors. For ex-ample, the Barbarian is a fearless warrior that relies on bulging muscles to wreak havoc in enemy villages. Another warrior is the Arch-er. Sharp shooters like him keep their dis-tance on the battle field. The Goblins are pesky little creatures that only have eyes for things like gold and elixir for which their hunger is limitless. Next up is the Giant. These big guys may look calm, but show them a cannon or a mortar and they’ll un-leash their fury. In addition, the Balloon & Wall Breakers are skeletons that drop bombs on enemies and destroy walls. The Wizard has his own tower where he can throw fire and lightning at incoming enemies. The last two warriors are the Dragon and P.E.K.K.A. These two warriors are very tough. The Dragon not only breathes fire, but also at-tacks air and ground targets. P.E.K.K.A.’s weakness is electricity. Finally, Clash of Clans was rated more than 4.5 stars on the

Play Store and the App Store.

SPORTS

NCAA Tournament

This year’s college basketball March

Madness was amazing with many game

winners and exciting plays. But, there

could only be one winner, and that was the

Connecticut Huskies. They were the sev-

enth seed and were going against the

eighth-seeded Kentucky Wildcats in the

NCAA championship. The final score was

60-54 with UCONN (Connecticut Huskies)

coming out on top with the help of their

star point guard, Shabazz Napier. Shabazz

had a great season averaging 18 points, 5.9

rebounds, and 4.9 assists. He surely didn’t

disappoint in the final game, putting up 22

points. Also, the day before the big game,

Shabazz Napier won a Hall of Fame award

called the Bob Cousy award which goes to

the best point guard in college basketball

each year. Overall it was a great season for

UCONN, and they got a lot of help from

their coach Kevin Ollie and of course one

of the best point guards in the college

game, Shabazz Napier.

FASHION & ADVICE

Advice

Q. My chocolate melted. What do I do?

A. Perhaps, you should clean up the mess first. Buy some new chocolate. Don’t worry too much about it, I mean if you’re hot enough to melt chocolate then you must be

pretty hot!

A. I think you should play with the choco-late and when you’re done lick it off your fingers, or freeze your fingers so the choco-

late stays good.

D.I.Y How To Dye Your Hair With

Kool-Aid

*Wear an old worn out t-shirt that you

don’t care about.

*Add ½ cup of water or less into a bowl

and then add the Kool-Aid packages.

*For light hair use 2 packages of

unsweetened Kool-Aid, and for

dark hair use 4-5 packages of

unsweetened Kool-Aid.

*Set the bowl on the stove and

turn it on to medium.

*Start mixing the Kool-Aid and

let it sit until it starts to boil, then

take it out and pour it into a separate

container.

*Let it cool off for about 5-10 minutes.

*Then use a hairband to tie your hair into a

pony tail.

*Dip your hair into the Kool-Aid.

*For light hair let it sit for 15-20 minutes,

and for dark hair let it sit for 30-35 minutes,

*After you’ve taken your hair out dry it

with a towel or a blow dryer (I recommend

a blow dryer. It’s much faster!)

*And you’re done! (By the way, if you have

dark hair you may not get the exact color

you desire, only somewhat.)

MUSIC

Music Experience

Have you ever been interested in playing an instrument? As some of you know, I play piano. I started to play when I was nine. I had to beg my mother to get me piano lessons, and what do you think she did? She got me piano lessons! When I went to my first piano lesson, I was so ex-cited and came out with a smile on my face. Then a couple of days, weeks, and months went by, and I didn’t like playing anymore. My mother had told me “You decided to take piano lessons, so now you’re taking them.” I kept taking piano lessons and when the years passed by I started to learn that piano and music was my passion. I could express myself while playing the piano. If I was sad, my music sounded sad. If I was happy, it sounded happy. I don’t know how, but I just knew that this was my place and that I was meant to be here. Everyone tells me you have the skills to do what you love, and I do. If you want to do something, but you think that other people might not accept you because you want to play an instru-ment or any other hobby, it’s fine. I’ve been there and look where I am, happy and I have friends that love and support me. I don’t care what people say, I would

rather do what I love than be any other person. If you really want to follow your dreams of playing or some other hobby, do

it. It’s an opportunity.

Coldplay

Coldplay is a British rock band. They have made songs such as “Speed of Sound,” “Paradise,” “Clocks,” and “Viva la Vida”. Coldplay has five albums and are working on their sixth. The lead singer and piano player is named Chris Martin, the drums are played by Will Champion. Guy Berryman plays the bass, and the lead gui-tar is played by Jonny Buckland. They are a great band and they have a copious amount of great songs. I would recom-mend checking them out if you haven’t

already.

THE BOOKSHELF

City of Lost Souls

Have you read Cassandra Clare’s book City Of Lost Souls? I recommend you to read this book. Out of all the other books of The Mortal Instruments series, I loved City Of Lost Souls. City of Lost Souls is a book about loss, romance, dan-ger, and betrayal. Clary is trying to save Jace from Sebastian (who is bounded to Jace with a spell). Clary and her friends need to find a weapon that will separate and hurt Sebastian, but not Jace. This book is one I never put down even for a minute. City Of Lost Souls is going to

keep you awake all night.

By: Cristina Telles

Clockwork Angel

A second series by Cassandra Clare, The Infernal Devices, is a series I didn’t expect to be as good as The Mortal Instruments. Indeed it did beat the Mor-tal Instruments. The first book, Clock-work Angel, is a book I loved. Tessa went to London to visit her brother, but instead she meets someone else who took her as a prisoner. Then she gets rescued by a very handsome, black-haired, and blue-eye shadow hunter named William

Herondale, and she falls in love with him. As soon as she thinks she has al-ready fallen in love, she meets another handsome shadow hunter named James Carstairs and falls for him too. This book is full of romance, danger, and secrets. It is a wonderful book, and it is also a page-turner that you won’t be able to put

down for a second. Enjoy!

Insurgent

Insurgent is the second book of the Divergent series. If you have read Diver-gent, but not Insurgent, you need to read it! In Insurgent, Tris, Tobias, Caleb, and more, stay in Amity. In Amity, Tris figures out a different reason why Erudite attacked Ab-negation. Abnegation had something that Erudite wanted. What is it? Meanwhile, Tris and Tobias have to survive, because Erudite wants them dead. There are secrets to be revealed. What are those secrets? What will Tris and Tobias do when they are being hunted? To know the answers to these questions, read Insurgent! It is amaz-

Sapphire Blue

Sapphire Blue by Kristen Gier is an extraordinary, romantic, dangerous, and breath-taking book. Gwyneth has found out that’s she is the Ruby, the final member of the time-traveling circle of twelve. She has the time-traveling gene when it was sup-posed to be her cousin Charlotte. She also thinks that Gideon has been playing around with her feelings. The more secrets she keeps from the people she loves, the more secrets she needs to uncover from her past. This book will bring you to new heights

and adventures than any other book. Enjoy!

By: Cristina Telles

Ruby Red

Ruby Red by Kristen Gier is the per-

fect book for every girl. It has everything a

girl expects to be in a book. Gwyneth, who

found out a couple of days ago that she has

the time traveling gene, has not had train-

ing because her mother told them that it

was Charlotte her cousin. Without being

trained while her cousin has had about 16

years of training to become a time-traveler

when it ends up to be her. She can also see

shadows that no one else can see like ghost.

Gwyneth’s time traveling partner, Gideon,

has such beautiful green eyes that she can’t

even stand a minute without seeing them.

Gwyneth is the ruby, and she has the power

of the raven. Gideon is the diamond and he

is the lion. (That is why he is very hand-

some in the first place) She knows that the

inner circle is keeping secrets from her.

This book is full of action, adventure, and

romance. I recommend this book to all

those girls that love science fiction. Enjoy!

need to keep reading this. Olaf is the

sweetest warmest snowman you’ll ever

meet! He loves adventures and reindeers

(Sven). He has his own flurry, and he final-

ly got his nose! One of my favorite scenes

in the movie is when Olaf says, “Hey Anna

and Sven! Where’d you guys go? We total-

ly lost Marshmallow back there!” He also

can’t wait for summer; he even made up a

song about it called “Summer.” Once you

watch Frozen, which you have to, you’ll

immediately fall in love with Olaf. We

know we did.♥

Captain Phillips

The movie Captain Phillips is an ac-

tion-packed film that will keep you wonder-

ing what’ll happen next. The movie stars

famous actors like Tom Hanks (Captain

Phillips), and Barkhad Abdi (Muse). It re-

veals what Captain Phillips and his crew

will try to do to protect themselves from

modern-day pirates who have taken over

their ship. The pirates are a group of people

from Somalia hoping to earn cash by hijack-

ing ships. The captain ends up getting kid-

napped, and the police must find out a way

to rescue him from Muse and his allies. This

movie is based on a true story, and I would

really recommend it to anyone who likes

thrillers or action packed movies! Rating:

PG-13

We Are Girls

What are middle school and teenage girls into these days, and how do we act? That is a question that cannot be answered simply. First let’s start with GUYS. We’re boy crazy, and there’s no doubt about it! We can spend hours obsessing over our fa-vorite band, singer, actor, and especially YouTuber! I know not every girl watches YouTube or vines but most who do can’t help but fall in love with Cameron Dallas, Matt Espinoa, Nash Grier, JC Kaylen, and

all those other amazingly funny guys.

But it’s not just guys we love; we spend our time on social networks such as Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter. We follow trends we see, and obsess over the fact that some girls can be so “perfect” and just think to ourselves “Can she just

share some of her beauty with me?”

Mostly every girl loves Starbucks, if you don’t like Starbucks then I don’t know what kind of human being you are. Food is a girl’s best friend. We will eat Nutella, chips, ice-cream, and a doughnut then complain how we’re fat. Hey, we’re girls and it’s what we do! We don’t have to look good all the time but when we want to look

good, let me tell you we work it!

These are just some of the things we girls are into and act like. Therefore keep calm

and eat food!
