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!
