I'm Thankful for.... 😊

I'm thankful/grateful for so many things. I'm thankful for having a loving family who cares about me. They make me smile and laugh and help me when I need them. I'm thankful to have somewhere to live and clothes on my back and having enough food to eat because not many kids have those things. I'm also thankful for getting the things I ask for AND the things I need while some kids can barely get the things they need. Also for being able to get an education and for having rights. As I got older I realized that I need to be more grateful for the things I have because there are kids out there that don't have anything and they wish they had something. So I am thankful for everything in my life and grateful to have them.

My Six Flags Adventure🤗🎢

This summer on July 2, my birthday, I went to six flags. I was so excited, I packed my bags the day before so that i could be all ready to go. First me and my mom went to pick up Faith, then Tatiana. Faith is my best friend and Tatiana is my cousin. Faith was 14 and me and Tatiana were 13, so Faith was the oldest one there besides my mom. We drove to a restaurant called "steak and shake". After we had lunch at "steak and shake", we drove to six flags. It took about 30 minutes so me, Faith and Tatiana played car games to pass the time. We played games like I spy, concentration and other games I can't remember😂. When we finally got there, it took a while to get in with so many people there, but when we finally got in. First we went to use the bathroom because it was a long car ride. We then went to go get flash passes. Flash passes get you to the front of the line so that you don't have to wait. I was so happy that my mom got those for me because no one wants to wait in a long line on their birthday. First we went to the demon, then the viper, the raging bull, x-flight and way more. We went on every single ride except for the Goliath, the ride that I wanted to go on most of all but we ran out of time. After we rode all the rides we went to a hotel. My mom ordered pizza and we hung out there until it was time to turn off the lights. That day was super fun, and I'll never forget it because it was my first time that I ever went to six flags🚩🎢

"The Killer Clowns"😱👹

Have you been chased by a clown? Throughout the months of September and October of 2016, students have been talking about the killer clowns. The killer clowns are said to be people dressed up as clowns going around chasing people. A 8th grade student from Heritage Middle School said that he saw a clown outside of his house. Some students are afraid and some are not. Some even think that it's not real, but videos and pictures say otherwise. There have been videos of clowns chasing people with dangerous materials and weapons. Another 8th grade student said that she and her friend saw a clown on their way to another school for a basketball game.
 The clown situation is getting out of control, even the police are getting involved. One day at Praska park, Heritage Middle School students were practicing for cross country. Ms.Bortscheller, a teacher from heritage, was outside with the students. She over heard students talking about the clown and she contacted the police. Two policemen then arrived at Praska park and Ms.Bortscheller went to go talk to them.  Then one of the policemen went to go look around, but he didn't think anyone dressed as a clown. This situation with the clowns is not just happening in one state, it is happening in others states too, and possibly in other countries. One student from heritge said that she was going to stay home on Halloween because she doesn't want to see any clowns. Lots of students are going out trying to locate the clowns. But should they go out? What if the clowns are going have violent weapons? No one will know until October 31st, 2016, the day of Halloween
