Crazy Weather

Have you noticed a change in our weather? If not, you might want to open your eyes. First a thick blanket of snow (14 inches in places) covered our lawns, with a record for the lowest temperature in about 15 years. Now that the snow has melted and the weather has warmed up there has been major flooding in many places. We are one of the only 2 counties that are not being flooded. The flooding has gotten bad enough that there is danger that the adventure ed people might not be able to go on there trip! I'm no environmentalist, but this is where the Global Climate change v.s. global warming comes in.
If it was Global warming that was happening to our planet, then why are the warmer places getting record lows, and colder places getting warmer then usual weather (not enough for record highs)? But if you look at from the perspective of Global climate change, it makes a little more sense. Because no all of our planet is warming up, but most - if not all - our planet is changing.
So stay dry and safe in this crazy weather! Who knows what it will do next!

Break's

Did you know that we have no school at all next week! Well of course you did! Because on Thursday of next week - the 27th to be exact - is Thanksgiving! We usually only get that Thursday and Friday off, but there are school wide conferences going on from the 24-26, so we get that part of the week off as well. That means that when we get back from this break, we only have 15 more days until Christmas break! Christmas break is two week's long though, because it's also for New Year's! So we only have little time left in 2008; and then we're on to our new year!
And remember to dress up in blue and white on Friday, because leader ship is trying to get every on to dress up every last Friday of every month, and sens we're not going to be here, this Friday is our blue and white Friday!
Well happy thanksgiving! And enjoy your week off!

Mr. Zisette's new turtle!!

Have you noticed any thing new in Mr. Zisette's class room? Well if not, there is a new student in LMS; it's a turtle!!!(who had an egg! But it died) Don't worry, he's not going to use it for any science experiments! He just simply got it because he wanted a turtle. He still hasn't decided on a name for her; he is taking suggestions from students, and once he has a good amount of names to choose from he'll decide from there. So if you know of a name that you think will fit her like a glove, then go to Mr. Zisette and tell him your awesome idea!!!!! So don't just sit there letting this turtle go unnamed!!! Go to Mr. Zisette - If he's not busy that is - and tell him your cool name! But if your home reading this you can wait until school.

So don't just sit there, go get your baby picture! so you can share it with the school, to have a little something to look back on years from now.

VOLLEYBALL!!!!

Volleyball is going on!!!!! We have been practicing for a while now and we have a pretty strong team. The 8th grade team got a new coach this year because Mandy -the coach from last year- got moved to the high school as the varsity coach! (YAY MANDY!) So we got a brand new coach, Becca! she’s very nice but can be strict when needed.

Our first game was on Monday in Lakewood, we were all nerves but we knew what to do come game day! once we saw the open gym with the nets all set up and the crowd buzzing with conversation, the adrenaline rush kicked-in and got us pumped for the game!
The 7th graders quickly warmed up and then got down to business. The Junior Varsity team for 7th grade won both of their games. The Varsity on the 7th grade team sadly didn't do as well... two out of their three games were lost, but luckily they won one.
After the 7th graders were done, the 8th grade stepped on the court. After warming up, the Junior Varsity team took their places. They won both of their games. Then the varsity again didn't do as well. Our first game wasn't the best, we had a bad start and it went down hill from there. The second game we won quickly with smiles on our faces, hoping we would do the same on our last game. Sadly, we lost the third (and last) game.
We are proud of the game, but are a bit disappointed we didn't win.
