Student Success Statement 

"I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong."
                              
                                                                    Abraham Lincoln

This means that it may sometimes be hard to win something but even then it shouldn't be hard to achieve choosing the right. And you have to stick with a friend while they choose the right and leave when they begin to choose the wrong.

                           April Fool's Day 

April Fool's day is on the 1st of the month April. It is celebrated every year and it is the day when people play practical jokes and pull pranks on each other. After the joke is discovered, people reference to "April Fool's!" 
Pro's: You get to prank people 
Con's: If you prank people, they prank you back.

                   Student Success Statement 

            "I trust my hard work will pay off." 

                                                                     Tyler Haws
                                        

I believe that hard work always pays off no matter what it is, if you work hard enough for it, good things will come. This can be anything like for example: If you're trying to lose weight and you work hard enough for it you will most likely reach your goal because you actually pushed yourself.

                           Raising Ryland

Hillary and her husband Jeff were excited to be having a baby girl, Ryland. Months after being born they found out Ryland was deaf. Ryland had cochlear implants restored and then was able to hear. After that Hillary and Jeff learned Ryland was transgender.  The Whittingtons no longer have a daughter. They have a son. At first they juts thought Ryland was a tomboy but he was very shameful about it. When he was five he said "When the family dies, I will cut off my hair so I can be a boy." They had finally realized it was time to listen and that they would rather have a living son than a dead daughter. After consulting with counselors and experts on transgender issues, Hillary and Jeff were advised to allow Ryland to transition as soon as possible. So they let him cut his hair, change his room, and they sent out a letter to family and friends telling them that Ryland is a boy and their amazing son.

             Dancing with the Stars Season 20

On March 16 of this week, the 10th anniversary of the abc show "Dancing with the Stars" premiered. I really like the new cast including my favorite singers such as Stefan Gordy and Riker Lynch. I'm team #Fooma all the way. I really enjoyed everyone's dance though. I found it incredible how 14 year old Willow danced so perfectly and it was only her first time dancing the cha cha. She got a really good score. I also really enjoyed Riker's performance he was so good and energetic and also obtained a perfect score. I'm very concerned about Team Fooma which is my favorite singer and Emma Slater because they got one of the lowest scores and I saw the effort that he put into the dance I just hope that everybody votes and that he puts more work into his dancing and hopefully they don't get eliminated next week because I really want to see Team Fooma win.

          Career opportunities in other countries 

France: 

The French agriculture and industrial sectors are

 always looking for new recruits to fill a wide range of jobs, many 

of which are seasonal. The French government is alert to 

ecological concerns and, as a result, many eco jobs are being

 created. Jobs involving the environment, or 'green jobs' as they are 

often known, look set to be the future of this sector.

 

                    Student Success Statement 

 "True independence and freedom can only exist in                           doing what's right.''
                                           
                                         Brigham Young
                                     
                            

I think this means that you can only truly feel independent and liberated if what you are choosing to do to not be dependent on anyone is something that will lead you through the correct path, because if you're doing all the wrong things while being independent you will get yourself into lots of trouble.


                        

                           St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity’s most widely known figures. St. Patrick’s Day celebrates the Roman Catholic feast day of the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick died on
 March 17, 461 but he was not really Irish. Saint Patrick’s Day is 
observed on 17 March, which is said to be the date of his death. It 
is celebrated inside and outside Ireland as a religious and cultural 
holiday. The green Irish flag is the official color for St. Patrick’s Day. However there are several other greens that are associated with the Irish culture. In reality the authentic color for St. Patrick the patron saint of Ireland is blue. St. Patrick’s day is enjoyed in more countries around the globe than any other national holiday. 

                  

BY: Amanda, Nadia, & Amber	Child Abuse
March 4, 2015	Volume 1, Number 1
	FOUR SIGNS OF CHILD ABUSE 1. Unexplained injuries. Visible signs of physical abuse may include unexplained burns or bruises in the shape of objects. You may also hear unconvincing explanations of a child’s injuries. 2. Returning to earlier behaviors. Abused children may display behaviors shown at earlier ages, such as thumb-sucking, bed-wetting, fear of the dark or strangers. For some children, even loss of acquired language or memory problems may be an issue. 3. Fear of going home. Abused children may express apprehension or anxiety about leaving school or about going places with the person who is abusing them. 4. Changes in eating. The stress, fear and anxiety caused by abuse can lead to changes in a child’s eating behaviors, which may result in weight gain or weight loss. HOW TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE   A newsletter about technology in education might offer articles relevant to administrators that describe what they need to know to get technology into their schools. It might also give teachers tips on integrating technology into their classrooms. Parents and students may also be interested in applying the concepts to the way they use technology at home. The danger, of course, is that if you try to appeal to every type of audience, you may make the focus of your newsletter too broad. In our example, we would not want the newsletter to include articles about how to develop software for the education market. When you write articles that are too broad in their intent, readers are not able to quickly determine whether the newsletter is of use to them, and they lose interest. So the issue is of balance: Within the scope of your business and industry, you want to provide something in each newsletter that will be of interest to all the major players in your audience. By doing so, you will ensure that all your readers will continue to return to your newsletter, edition after edition, to find that relevant article that they know is waiting for them.

                       Olivet Middle School 

I thought it was really sweet of Justice, Parker, and the other boys on the football team to give Keith an opportunity to score a touchdown himself. It teaches everyone that they should be nice and let others feel special and proud of themselves because we all deserve to feels this way at least once in a while. This is exactly the opposite of what every person does and it shouldn't be because everyone is usually mean and selfish and they bully others instead of thinking about what they could do to make another person's life easier and filled with joy.

                   Student Success Statement 

     "They're only truly great who are truly good."
                                
                                                                       George Chapman

This is so incredibly true. In my opinion, you could be super good looking, be considered great, but you're only truly great if what's on the inside of you is also truly good. Someone who is truly great is someone who isn't arrogant, caring, considerate, generous, polite, and respectful. But if you aren't either of those and you're conceited, selfish, greedy, mean, and rude, then what will anything else matter because it won't make you truly great unless you're truly good.

                   Student Success Statement 

Cheating: Is the short term gain worth the long term pain? 

"Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain but it isn't. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it." 
                            
                                                                    George Mitchell

I believe that if you cheat to earn something that will make you feel like you've won, it won't be worth the regret because you know very well that cheating is going the wrong way and that guilt will stay with you and will be an even stronger feeling than the amount of short time you had victory.

                  Student Success Statement

                           "I won't cheat."

                              
                                                                     Dale Murphy


Cheating is wrong. It doesn't matter what you are cheating for, it is always wrong. You could be cheating in a relationship and that is like a sin you just can't do that at all. Cheating is never right.

                                   Dale Murphy 

                                 
I think this means that it doesn't matter how important or famous you are because the only thing that will matter most is your character meaning the kind of person you are. Your personality, your traits, and your actions are what matter most, not how you're identified.

Mitch McKee 

Mitch was determined to practice his wrestling every day to make it to the finals. He loved his dad so much that he wanted to make him happy by winning before his last year ended. That's really cute and sweet to be honest.

                  Student Success Statement

"Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all."

                     
                                                                    Benjamin Franklin

I think this means that you could be the prettiest, and richest person in the world, but also the meanest person ever but your beauty wouldn't be important because nobody would like you unless you weren't so mean.
