Congratulations to Erin Hynes and Jessica Rice on winning 4th place for the West Point Bridge Contest! Also, congratulations to Jacob Landry for getting 8th place. They worked very hard during class trying

to get the lowest bridge possible. They were invited to an elegant dinner at the Revere Hotel in Boston. They had a wonderful time and got certificates for their great accomplish-ments. The girls’ bridge

was about $165,000.00 with only three groups in front of them. Great job!

Lamborghini vs. Ferrari

These are two awesome cars: the Ferrari 458 Spyder and the Lamborghini Aventador.

They are both very good sports cars, but one will win. The 458 is a faster car, but is not

easy to control. The Aventador is easy to control but not as fast.

458 Spyder Aventador

Both came from www.topspeed.com

Run 2

This article is about a very addicting game about run-

ning and jumping your way through over 50 levels. This

game gives you a choice between a roller skater and a

shoeless running alien. This game also can be frustrat-

ing as you go through the levels for it is really hard to

play. This game is played on the computer. This game

needs concentration and focus to beat. There’s also

bones orbs to collect when you are in a level, and if you

get 5 bones orbs, you get 1 bones level. So every 5

bones orbs you get a bones level. To keep the orbs,

you need to beat the level with the orbs. Once you

have all 62 bones orbs, you get a special prize.

Chapter 4: EASTER by Lexie Maietta

It’s Easter Sunday, and we have been very busy overseeing the

festival and such. I did not get a chance to see any of the contests,

Mother saying “You are too young to see such sports as men compet-

ing for silly sport.” Then Mother walked away, and I had to follow or I

would’ve been trampled in the oncoming slew of people, racing to get

to the games on time. I was a bit sad that I could not attend, but light-

ened up for my mother’s sake. She has not been feeling well as of

late, yet insisted on coming out, saying that is was tradition to make an

appearance at the Easter festival. I wonder if I shall have a little sister

or brother soon. I have always been an only child, so a little sibling

would be nice.

MORE NEXT TIME!!

This cop is more than meets the eye. Many people see him as just another police officer, but we went inside to get the scoop. When he’s not saving others,

he’s just an average Joe who is just like you and me. Once he sees a person with drugs on school property, he springs into action ready to write up a ticket! Don’t even think that you can out run him because you will lose. He said that he once chased one person through the woods on foot for one whole mile! He told us that D.A.R.E. stood for drug abuse resistance educa-tion, which many people probably didn’t know! Officer Deveau is not only good on foot, but he puts the pedal to the metal with his Ford Crown Victo-ria! He’s been around for a whopping three years educating kids on how to handle being offered drugs and what is in them. He has been educating the entire seventh grade in health class as they switch. From educating to crime fighting, this cop does it all. By Kevin Alves, Jon Morgan, and Ben Landry

THE HUNGER GAMES

MOVIE

By Charr Jobe

By now everyone should know

about the book The Hunger Games. I

want you to tell me if the book is bet-

ter than the movie, or if the movie is

better than the book. The book is

filled with a lot of information, but the

movie is really filled with action.

SO TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT!
