Journal : What makes you really mad. By: Tiffany Thomas and Karlee Willoughby

As a group the majority of our answers were drama, being girls you think we would like that, but we definitely don't. Another thing is obnoxious people, Immaturity, girls who act stupid and cocky people.

Over the summer I played on a softball team called Nitro. I was number eight and I played first base. Our team colors were lime green and black. I made many new friends over the two months I spent playing softball and had many amazing experiences. My team participated in six straight championship final games. We won first place twice and second the remaining three. My summer was wonderful and I wouldn't have wanted to spend it any other way.

Journal - What do you think about when you hear the word happy? By: Audrey Hyatt

When I hear the word happy, I think of the sun , big yellow smiley faces, laughing with friends, contagious smiles, flowers in the fields, bunnies frolicking through the meadows and cotton candy at the fair. Oh and food , of course.

letter to principal

Dear Mr. Franz,

We would like to address an issue we have in the school about locker breaks. As current sophomores we have learned the five minutes isn't enough time to get from one building to another, and to go to your locker. Some students have classes all the way from building one to the ATC building. They find themselves rushing and on the verge of being tardy almost everyday.

We don't have time to go to the restroom between classes. Most students have to go during class, taking away from the short amount of time we have to learn. Teachers give us incentives not to use the restroom and we endanger our bodies or lose class time.

A solution that we have is to extend the time between classes or give more frequent breaks. Ten minutes would be a perfect amount of time, however , seven minutes would cut down the number of tardies, and number of students going to the restroom during class.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We really hope you consider our recommendations for future scheduling.

Sincerely,

The Red Group
