| Can Drive By Eliza Forrest and Marisa Rafal The student government (made up of 7th and 8th graders) has been collecting cans of food for people who can’t afford food elsewhere. They are going to be collecting the cans from Monday November 17th to November 25th. We hope you will choose to donate to the Healey’s collection of cans, but you can always donate to the needy. You can donate to soup kitchens or food pantries all the time but we think it might be nice to donate to the Healey’s collection, because it is exciting when they announce over the loudspeaker how many cans they collected, and you know that you contributed. It’s nice to be able to know that you helped your school raise more cans, and help other people. If you do want to donate then there will be bags and boxes by the office for you to put your cans in. We hope you will help to ease the hunger of people who are starving. |
| LATE POLICY and new school rules by RAQUEL OPPEDISANO You should always be early never late. If you are late you will have to go to detention with Mr. Sabin. ONE new school rule is if you have no hall pass and a teacher sees you, you will also need to go to detention. by Anne Augustin You should never be late. You should never be late because if you are late you will detention. And when you get detention it might go on your report card. So if I were I would never be late for school. |
