Snow Days In Jeopardy?!
I am writing this post during a 2 HOUR DELAY of the public school system! Whoop whoop! :) But the sky is clear and the roads look fine. If there was any time we needed a cancellation or delay, it should have been yesterday.
I stepped out of the shower in the morning and looked out the huge window by the upstairs hallway. It was snowing like crazy! At first it wasn't sticking, but then it started to get on the road a little bit. We were sent off to school anyway, but most of us were waiting for an announcement over the PA for us to go home.
After talking to some of my friends, there was even more evidence that it might be dangerous to go to school. One friend's mom nearly skidded into a mailbox; another friend could barely make it up her driveway! Something must have froze to the roads- why were we still at school?
I took a survey of some kids on whether or whether not we should be in school, and the results came out like this:
As you can see, the majority said Yes.
We all were puzzling on why we were still in school. Some kids said it was because the new superintendent is from a snowy area and wanted us to go to school. I still find it a little strange that we were still allowed to go even though many people were having trouble on the roads.
What's your opinion? There's a new poll out on this hot topic, and you can also post your views on the comments page.

Long Time, No Post and Spelling Bees
Right, so it's been more than a month since either me or CJ has posted, so here I am! So, just recently, we had the county spelling bee which was hosted at CMS for the first time. In fact, it was the first time, the county spelling didn't take place in the school board office. And no one had told me the spelling bee was at our school until my mom called the board office to confirm the time I had to be there for the spelling bee, 3 hours before the actual thing. Honestly, CMS had a big honor. So big, and our principal WASN'T there! (And me, because I was representing CMS) Maybe he was busy or something, but still.... Instead, our assistant principal was there and our former principal was there. I ended up winning on the word "mealymouthed." Really weird word right? It means: avoiding the use of direct and plain language, as from timidity, excessive delicacy, or hypocrisy; inclined to mince words; insincere, devious, or compromising.

Is It Just Me...
....or is anyone else sick of some of the posters they hang up at school?
You know the ones. Those big posters that say "Why do we have a dress code?" "Why is regular attendance important?" "Why are there no cell phones allowed at school?" A lot of us have to put up with listening to the rules at every other time of day, and I don't think those posters are going to help the ones who break them very much.
My dad says they had a student bulletin when he was a kid. Students could post their own announcements about parties, events, and recitals, in an obvious place where everyone would see. I'm guessing it would be monitored so kids wouldn't use it to bully someone. What do you think about this idea? Post your answer on the comments page!

FOOT, FOS, Assigned Seats
One of the major protests going on right now is against assigned seats. Thanks to a couple of people, the rest of us are punished-rather unfair, if you ask me. Two organizations came out of this....
FOS- Freedom Of Seats. This was started by my friends Laney and EverestGirl (alias), who are raising awareness about the issue by passing out buttons. Some slogans written on the buttons: "We're not in elementary school!" "Lunch used to be my favorite class...." "We didn't do it!" "Should we be punished for another person's crime?" "All I want for X-mas is a new lunch seat!"
FOOT-Freedom Of Our Tables. This was started by my friend J, who has a plan mapped out. "If the seats stay until January, I'm going to talk with someone. They should make a sheet of rules and get people to sign it, saying that now they will follow the rules," he told me.
As usual, whenever we hold a protest, there are lots of buttons (I'll post some images later) and ImageChef images! What's that? You don't know what ImageChef is? It's a really cool photo site that puts your text and images in extreme locations. Check out some of the pictures I made:
