Cheerleading!

By Lizzy
Cheerleading will be starting next week in the gym after school with Mrs. B(the coach). We do routines like cartwheels and other moves,but Mr. K doesn't know when he will get the chance to see Mrs. B because she is so busy at A.E.S but Mr. K says when we had a meeting last week to spread the word about Cheerleading and to listen at the announcements at lunch or at Recess and if you don't hear anything by next Wednesday you can see Mr. K about when Cheerleading and he will try to see Mrs. B so keep listening at the announcements.

Fall Fashion Review

By: The Bobcat

Is fashion important to you? Fall has already fallen and I have noticed that skinny jeans, plaid clothing, and skater shoes are in style this year.

My secret source took a poll on all of those things. The poll said out of 8 people only 4 liked skinny jeans, but those 4 also said that skinny jeans are not for guys and only for girls. Guys are still wearing them. The people think skinny jeans were made for girls. I think that is correct, skinny jeans were made for girls. Some of the things that the polls said, are “they are cool” and that they, “are sweet and awesome”.

The next thing is plaid. Plaid is a bunch of squares and they are different colors. Plaid only looks good on some people. Polls said shirts are not that cool anymore but the pants are. Jackets are OK. Plaid is really insane. Out of 8 people 7 said that plaid was “awesome”, “cool”, and that it is “a hot style”. I think that plaid is cool on anyone.

The last but not least is skater shoes most people think that skater shoes are cool, I do too. Skater shoes don't stay on very well because they don't tie! Skater shoes are comfortable. The polls that I took said everyone liked them but I think that some people don't. Skater shoes are made to have a lot of padding for your feet so that it does not hurt your feet when you land. They are very fluffy inside. There are a lot of different types of skater shoes like DC's, Etnies and even Air Walk has some skater shoes. I can see why some people say that they don't like them they don't stay on, they are flat footed, and they have no grip. Choose your favorite on the polls.

Stop the Vandalism!

By:Matt Davis

“I don't know why kids are doing it, but its not right.” said Mrs Moran about the keyboard vandalism in her classroom.

In Mrs. Moran's room there has been a problem. The problem is people are writing on the keyboards. Mrs. Moran says “The reason people are writing on the keyboards is because they don't know their notes.”

So, what people are writing is the letter name of the key on the key. There is really no way to stop kids so Mrs. Moran say “I will keep reminding kids not to take part in the vandalizing of school property.”It is true the Mrs. Moran offers papers telling you your keys. I know that because I use one myself.

If this keeps up the school won't keep buying new keyboards to replace the vandalized ones. If you are caught vandalizing the keyboards you will be written up and given a minor. If you have a hard time playing the keyboard, like me, just ask for a paper of the keys to help you out.

So regardless of the reason, it's wrong to write on school property.

GBS Girls Soccer Was Kickin'

By: Emmasae Hallen
"This year the team has worked very hard for the success that they had this season," Mr.Baldwin said on October 8th. The girl's soccer team was 11-1 and Zoe Paige was leading the team in goals. The girls scored 56 goals and their goalies Emmasae Hallen and Emma Carney only let in 7. "Soccer is my life and I couldn't live without it," Zoe said on October 9th. "We are doing so well this season, we just might make it to the finals in our tournament." Unfortunately, the tournament was cancelled because of rain.

We asked some of the girls on the team what they thought about soccer. " Energetic," "Suspenseful," "Fun," and "Amazing" were just some of the responses from the girls. The team has worked hard, but at the same time, they were having fun. Many girls have been improving since the beginning of the year, according to Charlie Callif.

"This year has been a great year for these girls. The eighth graders will have a great year at ConVal next year. They are going to get some good players," an anonymous teacher told us.

Too bad the girls' soccer team never got the chance to make it into the trophy case.
