February Holiday

People come up with different holidays for each day of the year to show appreciation or celebrate different things. Today, February 23, is "Play Tennis Day". The site I found this on says that Americans love playing tennis. It's a fun sport to play and get good exercise. Since most of us don't have a tennis court then a back-up thing to do is you can read about it, and if you don't feel like reading then you can always watch it on T.V. :)

Mr. Sidford's Play Workshop

Right before the Shakepeare play yesterday, we all were assingned to a group in which 2 actors came and tought us some techniques about acting. I was in Mr. Sidford's workshop. In there they showed us show combat. Like they showed us how to slap and punch and pull hair, but they did it in a way so that we didnt really hurt anyone. It was cool.

what were these work shops ?

these work shops are suposed to help you understand the play THE TAMING OR THE SHREW. the station that i was in we learned how to have fun and say yes. If you say yes then the story has a positive theme and a happy ending . when you learn to write you need to say yes because it helps the theme of most storys.

February is Black History Month

Black History Facts
Black History Month began as "Negro History Week," which was created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian, scholar, educator, and publisher. It became a month-long celebration in 1976. The month of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. On February 12, 2009, the NAACP will mark its 100th anniversary. Spurred by growing racial violence in the early twentieth century, and particularly by race riots in Springfield Illinois in 1908, a group of African American leaders joined together to form a new permanent civil rights organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). February 12, 1909 was chosen because it was the centennial anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Jack Johnson became the first African-American man to hold the World Heavyweight Champion boxing title in 1908. He held on to the belt until 1915. There is lots of other reasons why we have this as month in February. So we just thank you for having African-American are allowed to do what they do today like do every thing that a white person has the right to do.

The workshop

There was a workshop that was yesterday and people came from the Shakeshpearian Festiveal and taught us about what they were going to show us and what they do. They show us more about Shakespear and what his writing is all about and what they mean. They showed us some games and what was about his writing. They told us about what he did when he was writing. They taught us about how he did writing and why he did that way, they showed us what they did when they were acting and how they did what they do. So they talk about what they done and how they do what he does in what he does when he is writing. They showed us some of the things that they had done. Show it was a great thing that they did this to teach us more about Shakespears writing.

Girls Basketball Tournament [:

This past weekend the 7th and 8th grade girls had a tournament in Moapa. The 8th grade girls went first and they had two games. They lost both. :( In the first game Chelsea L. puked again. She asked Duane to take her out but he said that she was fine. She started to shake her head and cover her mouth. When all the other girls ran down the court Chelsea found the nearest trash can and puked. :( It was not very fun for her. But she kept playing in the game anyways. The 7th graders had three games. They won all of them!!! (: What won the game was full-court press. We ran really hard and played very good. One of the girls from the other team said to me that we were really good and that we have a great team. (: Good job girls!

Percussion

We would like to congratulate the Pacific Express Parade Corps on its first place win last Thursday. The group performed at a high school competition in the Independent A category. The overall score of 57.8 was the group's highest score for the first performance of the season, and they scored better than several Las Vegas high schools including Rancho and Basic.
Middle school students that are a part of this group are Nick T, Tyler G, and Adam R. They did a phenomenal job competing against students much older than themselves. The group also includes students from Lincoln county High School, Panaca Elementary, and Pioche Elementary.
Pacific Express's next performance will be on March 5 at Coronado High School. The Meadow Valley Middle School Percussion Ensemble will be performing at this competition also.
Agsin, congratulations on a great show!

Haiti Fundraiser

-DON'T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK


They have this day because everyone spills milk now and again and poeple wanted to recognize this. They also represents being optomistic and that it's ok to be positive and find the bright side in every situation.

It also represents the saying, "Is the glass half full, or half empty?" An optomistic person would say it is half full. If you look at the glass of whatever is in it..and say that it's half empty then it makes some people mad that the drink is gone. (that is what the internet said)

The Superbowl!!!! :]

This weekend was the Superbowl. It was the Saints vs. Colts. (YEAH COLTS!!!) There were alot of people that wanted the Colts to win and alot of people that wanted the Saints to win. At the end of the first quarter the Colts were winning 10-0. But eventually the Saints started catching up and moving ahead in the game. They got alot of interceptions, and they scored two TD's in a row. In the end, what it came down to, the Saints wanted it more. The ending score was 31-17 Saints. Payton Manning was very mad. He said right before the game that him and his team were glad that they had the extra 2 weeks to prepare for the game and that he was really feeling a winning game. Good job Saints...Colts will do better next year! :] (:

The Day the Music Died

Today, February 3, is the anniversary of the day that well-known musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash along with their pilot Roger Peterson.
Much of Buddy Holly's music was not distributed to the public until after his death.
Ritchie Valens was only 17 when he died but is still well known for the song "La Bamba".
Jiles Perry Richardson, Jr. (known as the Big Bopper) was a singer and a song writer. His songs became hits for himself and for others.
The song American Pie, written in 1971 was a tribute to the deaths of these individuals as well as a social commentary on the time period although the writer of the song (Don McLean) will not admit to any particular interpretation of the lyrics.

So today, ask your parents and grandparents about these singers and see if they remember anything about the day the music died.

Groundhog Day

Today, February 2 is groundhog day. Groundhog day is when, people take the groundhog out of his cage and hold him out and if he sees his shadow then there will be six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow then we will have an early spring. (the official name of the groundhog is Puxatony Phil). Today they took him out of his cage and he......SAW HIS SHADOW :( Looks like there will be six more weeks of winter:)
