Students versus staff basketball game By Tyler Ray
On the evening of Thursday, February 16, teachers
and students at South Livingston Elementary School turned
basketball players. But it was the group of students who
proved to be the better players. The student versus staff
game was a good ballgame because the students won and it
was for a good cause.
It was a fundraiser to help pay
for the fifth- and sixth- grade
students to go to Washington,
DC. It was very fun to watch, some people might say.
During time-outs they auctioned off prizes. The t-shirts
that were thrown into the crowd were donated by C-plant
Federal Credit Union. The basketballs that were auc-
tioned off were signed by the high school teams. Two
pairs of tickets to the Badget Playhouse were auctioned off, one pair was given right
back to be auctioned off again and that winner also gave us an extra $50. Mrs. Penny
gave a lot of money, in honor of her dad, to help the fifth and sixth grade go to Wash-
ington, DC, to help them learn about government and our country’s history.
The D.A.R.E.
program By Gracie Grimm
Do you know what the
D.A.R.E. program is? The pro-
gram stands for Drug Abuse
Resistant Education. This pro-
gram is for the sixth grade.
In 1983 it was only an anti-
drug program, but now it is
about good decisions regarding
personal behavior, peer pres-
sure, bullying, and other topics.
The D.A.R.E. program gets the
funding from property taken
away during drug investiga-
tions. If a parent has any ques-
tions, please call the Livingston
County Sheriff’s Department or
visit them online.
Enrichment students create
blog as media outlet By Alexandra Martin
If you’re in Mrs.
Samantha’s enrichment
class, you know that we
have started a blog: the
fifth- and sixth- grade
enrichment blog.
A blog is a website
that provides personal
opinions. Some of the
subjects we have previously blogged about are school
news, celebrities, book reviews, and movie reviews. We
are starting a blog because Mrs. Samantha wants us
to focus on having good grammar and punctuation. If
you would like to view it, it’s at http://

SLES Cheerleaders perform routine at game
By Kylee Meeks and Te’lor Edmonds
On Thursday, February 16
South Livingston Elemen-
tary School’s gym did not
only see teachers and stu-
dents getting down for a
friendly game of basket-
ball, but they were also
graced by a performance
of the SLES cheerleading
squad. The girls per-
formed a routine, including a dance, cheer and sideline at the
student-teacher game. They danced to the song “Firework” by
Katy Perry, getting people excited about the game. They did
very well and worked very hard. “The girls’ excitement and
supportive parents makes a BIG difference in how they cheer,”
Kinsee Henson, coach of the squad, explained. The squad is
led by head coach
Laken Durard and
assistant coach
Kinsee Henson.
The coaches said,
“We couldn’t do
it without the sup-
port of parents
and the school
administrators.”
