At yesterday’s town council meeting (3/6/17), the serious problems of Cottone Field took center stage. Concerned residents and students lined up to inform the council about the worn-out condition of the field which has recently caused injuries to several students. The injuries were due to the uplift of the base layer of silica sand which purpose is to act as a cushion. Without this base layer of sand, the field becomes incredible dense, providing little to no dampening of impacts. The result of this is that students are getting sprained ankles in situations where they would normally be uninjured. One concerned resident reported “their was no difference in feel between the concrete and the field once I stepped on to it”. Another reported…
This is Claire Crosswaite reporting live on November 22nd from the Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. It's about 12:15 p.m. on a beautiful Friday afternoon and there are around 200 thousand people waiting to see President Kennedy. With the President will be his lovely wife Jacqueline, Govenor John Connally and his wife Nellie. It's been reported that Mr.President and the first lady had to take a short flight from Fort Worth, but will be here shortly. You can almost feel the excitment in the crowd and throughout the city. I see a white car turning off of Houstion Street... could it be the President?…

As your sophomore class president I promise to work my butt off while preparing for the homecoming activities, organize fun fundraisers for our class like havening school dances after basketball games or football games, I also promise that I will not miss one class meeting! Also I believe that my position as sophomore class president will give me a respected voice amongst the people on the school board. This is important because I plan to address the school board on our dress code. I believe that in the 90 degree heat students should be allowed to wear tank tops and shorts that don’t go all the way to our knees!…
Second off why I stand before you today, urging you to vote for me. We need strong leadership next year. I would like to remind you all that the position of Rep is not a figurehead.

Furthermore, I am ready to work with willingness for your benefit.

Good evening everyone; teachers, faculty, family, friends, and the Walkerville graduating class of 2008! Wow. This day arrived so quickly – this final high school farewell seemed so distant, but it snuck up on us before we knew it. School is tricky like that; one hour and fifteen minutes can feel as long as “”, while the end of the school year can come around as fast as “Brandon Holland running the 200 meter dash. The other three years went by quickly, but none accelerated as much as this final school year. And what an amazing time it has been, Walkerville – from grade nine to now, the experiences have been unforgettable, and small wonder, considering how incredible this school is and the amazing students that make up this graduating class. There is no other school like Walkerville. it is the best high school in Windsor Essex county. Walkerville is in its own class altogether - When I look at this graduating class, I see a group of outstanding young adults. I see so much respect, acceptance, and just all around an extremely classy group of guys and gals. The talent here, especially in this senior year is phenomenal. This senior student body is made up of simply amazing actors, athletes, artists, dancers, writers, photographers, singers, really smart people, and musicians. But at Walkerville, the talent never stops at one category. To just name a few, athletes take art and dance classes, dancers play bassoon, artists sing, musicians participate in extreme stunts such as the four man piggyback, swimmers play piano, businessmen play broomball, historians write toxic love poems, and if you’re a male dancer, then you’re a hero in general. Moreover, this graduating class is a stellar example of how extraordinary ability can be combined with good character and school spirit. This senior year has constantly shown love for their school, simply by getting involved in any way possible. Helping out at events such as frosh day…
In the teacher's Back-to-School Night speech, three instances, I feel, that demonstrate sensitivity to the parents are the teacher providing a written disclosure document on what to expect in his/her classroom, providing instructions on how to access the school's Web site, and by having translators available during the speech.…

I am not running for class president because I have a bigger baseball card collection than the other candidates -- which I do -- but because I am a patriot and I love my class in a totally non-cootie related way. We were once the greatest class in the entire school, and we still are because the principal looks down on us and smiles. He loves our class, I love our class and we are crazy awesome, so keep that in mind while I now explain why we suck so hard.…
Strong-minded, hard working, determined, and dependable are characteristics that I can guarantee everyone who is running for student council has. All of these candidates can take on the responsibility of leading as well as contribute to our class as a whole.…
Well, this is it, the day all of us has been waiting for has finally arrived. It seems like only yesterday we were picking our noses and flicking them at innocent by standards or yelling childish phrases like "Liar liar pants on fire!" or wait, that was yesterday. Nevermind.…
