Spirit week was so hilarious! I enjoyed all of the excitement and spirit. We had pajama day on Monday. Tuesday we had twin day. Wednesday we had super hero day. Thursday was LMS spirit day. To me super hero day was by far the funniest day all week. It was so creative how some kids dressed. I think we should have more weeks like this during the school year. It really makes school more exciting!
This was the time to shine and help the kids at Vassar Brothers Medical Center. All you had to do is look in your house and find markers, crayons or colored pencils THAT WORK and bring them in. This was a LMS Community Service Club 2012 project! Coloring books were made by the members of the Community Service Club and also donated. Any brand of a coloring instrument was accepted! This was a great idea. LMS helped the kids at the Vassar Brothers Medical Center. We hope the kids at Vassar Brothers Medical Center enjoyed it!

I think that school spirit week is a great way for students to show their school spirit. It is also a fun activity where students can show their creativity on those special days. On Monday, we had pajama day which was a good day to be comfortable and let loose. On Tuesday, we had twin day. Twin day was special because you could dress like your best friends. It brought friends closer together. Wednesday was super hero day. This day was when you got to be a super hero and maybe help others, but didn’t include flying! On Thursday, you got to show your school spirit by wearing Arlington colors or your own team shirt.

Whitney Houston, an American recording artist, actress, producer and model, died this past Saturday, February 11, 2012. She was found in the Beverly Hilton Hotel in a bath tub and was pronunced dead by police officials. Foul play is not suspected. Many drug prescriptions were found in her hotel room, but it is unsure whether they played a part in her death. It could take many weeks to find out if Whitney drowned or over dosed. However, Whitney Houston will be especially remembered for her singing. She won 3 Grammys in her time and was probably an inspiration to others. A dedication during the Grammys was made in honor of Whitney Houston. It was a sad day on Saturday. It was the fall of a great icon.

The 8th grade accelerated art class is collecting water bottles. They will be working with a visiting artist in February using recycled materials like water bottles to create a sculpture.They need your help to collect these bottles. These bottles can be dropped off outside Art Room B anytime during the day throughout the next 3 weeks. About 700 bottles have been collected already of the 1000 bottles needed.

This past Tuesday night, I waited for 6-7 hours in line to get Victor Cruz’s autograph and picture. He is a wide receiver for the New York Giants. When I got ready to get his picture with him, he said “ Hi !”. That made me feel very happy. After I got the picture, we saw a huge line waiting for their turn. My Dad and I got back on line for his autograph this time. We waited about 2 hours. When I got closer, Victor said ,”How are you?” and I said, “Good!”. Before I left, I said, “Good Luck with the Super Bowl!”. It was the best day of my life!
