Bus Pick Up Line

By: Kendra
I wish we could go back to waiting outside and watch for our car to come. For those of you that always take the bus, what would happen is you sit out at the front of the school, Ms. K. would wait there with you. You were allowed to sit on the benches and talk to your friends while you wait, we had a lot more freedom. Now we have to wait in the hall outside the gym and wait for the teachers to call your number. We are not allowed to talk because of the echo. Basically all you can do is stand there in the hall like statues until the call your number. It is silent. Some kids always worry because they forget their number, Ms. Dionosotes and Ms. Gorges have to tell you your number. I liked being picked up outside rather than in the loud hallway, we were even allowed to do flip-flops in the grass. My sister and I (when she still went to this school) would have a flip- flop contest. I had a lot more fun when we could wait outside.

Should we have a new school mascot?

By John H

I was thinking that we should have a new school mascot. The Wildcat is getting kind of old. I want people to care about the school mascot. So what about a new mascot? Since we play sports we should have a school mascot that people care about. Kids should be enthusiastic about their mascot.

I mean it really won't be hard because all we should do is vote (one class at a time) who's the mascot. It could be a wolf, a bobcat or a tiger (or any kind of symbol that's inspiring, you could write them in as a candidate). Anyway, I know most people might not agree of it, but why not see! We want to make our school awesome!

If you want to keep the wildcat, write about why you want to keep it. If you want a new school mascot, also tell me why. I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on my blog about the school mascot in your comments.

Do You Have A Special Friend?

If you have a special friend or think you do. . . this is how they should act:
They are always on your side; They always help you when you are hurt;
They never lie to you; They never make fun of you; They never share your secrets with anyone else; They treat you the way they want to be treated.

For example if you were hurt, they care. If you like someone who you think is your friend and they laugh at you, are they a true friend? No, they are not. If they share your secrets and shout it out loud then they are not a true friend. Cherish your true friends. They are valuable. Do you have a true friend?

A Futuristic School?

Wouldn't school be cool if we had a futuristic school? The bus ride that now takes a long time to get to school would be different because we would have personal electric rockets to fly us here. The gruesome lunches I blogged about last week would be limitless in variety, served by robots. Speaking of robots, our teachers would be robots. At recess, instead of bundling up in snow clothes, we strap on jetpacks. The playground equipment would be different, super slides. We would have helmets that go over our head and give us all the information we need for the day. What would a futuristic school look like? I think school will be very cool if it was futuristic!

Why can't we have better lunches at school?

By John C., Food Critic for Countryside Cafeteria

I wonder why we can't have better lunches? I mean the pizza is good and all, but come on, I mean it's definitely not the best in the world. It doesn't have to be the best, but why not have Pizza Hut quality. The most disgusting thing in my opinion is the mashed potatoes with turkey and gravy, ewwww! And the French toast sticks, we already had breakfast! Who wants two breakfasts in one day? Another thing is the grilled cheese here is terrible. I ate it here yesterday. The crust is like a rock.

Yes, I still have things to criticize. Now this is just plain crazy. Strawberry banana toast sticks? Like I said, who wants two breakfasts? The only real good food here is the Bosco Sticks. I just had a comment from Mrs. Martindale that the pizza tastes like cardboard. Definitely true. Why can't we have better lunches?

I give this restaurant only 2 stars out of 5.
