Moral tale

You are What you Eat!
There once was an oversized candy corn and a plump broccoli tree and cauliflower flowerette. Brodan, the broccoli, and Cayenne, the cauliflower, did not like Chippy, the colorful candy corn. They continually gossiped about the hideous stripes and obnoxiously cheerful personality of Chippy. Although the two boring and negative vegetables made fun of the bright and happy candy corn, Chippy continued to be happy and perky and never let their words affect her. In an attempt to get rid of Chippy, one day Brodan and Cayenne planned a surprise attack on the candy corn. Their plan was for Brodan to distract Chippy with a bright orange construction cone while Cayenne would pounce upon the innocent corn and bite his white tip off. So one day while Chippy was walking down the street, she noticed a beautiful bright orange cone moving towards her. Thinking the cone was another corn like herself, she began approaching it. Once she reached the cone, she noticed that it was just an ordinary construction cone. “But why is it moving?”, she thought to herself. As she turned to walk home, a big white crunchy object pounced upon her. Thinking she was just being robbed, she began hitting the robber with her purse. When she was finally able to get a good glance of the attacker, she realized who it was that was attacking her. It was the big mean cauliflower flowerette. Before she could escape, the cruel flowerette bit her little white tip off. Being completely infatuated with the delicacy of the white part of the candy corn, Cayenne could not stop at just the white part. He continued eating the yellow and orange part. In the meantime, Brodan was hiding in the orange cone to see the outcome of their attack. As Brodan was watching, he noticed that Cayenne began turning white at the top of his head. As Cayenne continued indulging in the candy corn, he turned bright orange and yellow. Instead of helping his cauliflower friend, Brodan burst into laughter and completely abandoned his “best friend”. The rest of Cayenne’s life, he had to face the persecution of being a candy corn. But unlike Chippy, Cayenne never was happy with his new life as a candy corn. His friend abandoned him, he was now full of sugar, and he became exactly what he strived all his life to be most unlike.
The moral of this story is, you are what you eat!

Letter From the Editor

Happy December to all of my fellow classmates and outstanding faculty. What a great month December is! We are quickly approaching Christmas, and you know what that means: Cold weather, hot cocoa, sitting by the fire, and our least favorite, Christmas shopping! As we enter this Christmas season, do not forget the real reason for the season. It is extremely easy for us to get caught up in the Christmas trees, presents, candy canes, and Santa Clause, that we forget what Christmas is really about. If you are boggling your brain for ways to share the true Christmas story, then I will give you a couple ideas.
I am sure you have heard the saying, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear”. This saying is actually true, but in our case, we would sing about Christ’s birth instead of Santa’s coming. So if you want to try something new, go Christmas caroling or better yet, get involved in a church Christmas play. There are so many ways to share the true reason for the season, you just have to look for opportunities and grab them when they come your way.
Another way to spread Christmas cheer is to help others who may not get anything for Christmas. We take it for granted that we get Christmas presents, when many children around the world do not get anything! We do not even deserve anything anyway because it is not even our birthday! It is Jesus Christ’s birthday, so let us do something good for someone else.There are many different organizations whose purpose is to supply unfortunate children with Christmas presents. So this Christmas, why don’t you ask your parents to buy a present for a child in need instead of more for you.
So now that we have learned a few ways to make someone else’s Christmas something that they will remember, let us put them to action and truly celebrate the reason for the season. The true reason is that God sent his son to Earth to die for our sins, so that we may have eternal life. I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas this year. Until next time, farewell!

Where are the kittens now?

Most of y'all may remember the story from the newspaper last year that talked about BCS's little kittens. Well if you just take a look around, they are no where to be seen. This could be the product of them getting taken home, running off, or even dying.

It is a large possibility that someone around the school decided to take the kittens home to make them their pet. If this is the case, I sure hope it was a good owner. The "kittens" are soon to be adults i'm sure so they could even begin to have children of their own if their owner allows them. Coach Smith was always a sucker for taking home the kittens that were found here. Last year we even begged him to take the sick one home but he didn't like the color of it. So if noone took them home, where else could they be?

There is also another possibility that they ran off when they got old enough to fend for themselves. If this is the case, they could be ANYWHERE! They could have walked on down the road to some business or home and got picked up there. They could be off in the woods searching for some kind of food to sustain them. Maybe they wandered off and will come back every so often.

What is the last scenario might you ask? Well, they could be in kitty heaven. The little kittens could have starved to death with noone at school to feed them. Maybe the kittens climbed up in a vehicle while someone was parked and then got killed by the engine. Lastly, maybe they ran out into the street and got hit by a car.

These poor kittens were very special to BCS and I'm sure we would hate to hear that they are now..DEAD! We must remember though that with every life, there is eventually death, and maybe their life was cut shorter than others. Don't worry yourselves children, we are unsure of the true outcome of these little furballs!

I am sure by now that everyone has heard and worried about the oil in the Gulf. Well, I am here to tell you that some beaches are still as beautiful as ever. Beaches such as the ones in North Carolina, Georgia, California, and even some in Alabama and FLorida are as gorgeous and oil free as ever. So if you are looking into going to the beach, find out which beaches are clean and hit the road!

It has been all over the news since the incident that all the animals and beaches are ruined but do not always believe everything that you hear. I went to the beach in the middle of June and it was beautiful. The last few days, tar balls and seaweed began rolling in but about two miles down the shoreline, the beach was crystal clear. There is also other things you can do at the beach then play in the ocean.

Is it really worth it to completely give up and not go to the beach at all because you are believing something that may or may not be true? I suggest if you plan to go to the beach, ask someone what the status of the oil is on the particular beach. It's not as hard as people make it sound to find someone that knows first hand about the water.

BP is trying hard to clean up the beaches and clean up the gulf. This task is so great that it will take a long time before everything will be completely perfect again. Just remember that you can still find beaches without oil. In fact, there are beaches other than the ones in the gulf. So go out and explore!

So if you plan to go to the beach, go!, and do not stress the small things. Go and relax and hear the waves of the ocean. Just because the water may have oil in it, the waves sound just as peaceful! Oh and if you go, please take me! :)
