Happy Birthday to Ife Okolo!
Did you get the answer to yesterday's Think About it Thursday? The riddle: Oh no! You are trapped in an abandoned house in the middle of a blizzard and are struggling to stay warm! You have only 1 match left and you gather everything in the house you think you can burn. The only things you find are: A candlestick, a small flammable chair, an art project from your time in high school. Which do you light first so you can survive the longest? The answer: the match, of course! Brought to you by the dastardly Mister Ree.
Did you forget to buy your Homecoming shirt this year? We have lots leftover and will be selling them at lunches and after school for $10. Stop by and get your choice of black, blue, pink, or purple, while supplies last!
