What do you do after you get home? Some people stay at LMS and go to sports practice, maybe watch some TV, play video games, do your homework…
However, when some people get home they go straight to Facebook!! You can chat with friends, look at their status, find old friends, maybe pick a date for a party.Many people use it often, like 8th grader McKenzie Hersh, who has 791 friends. 7th grader Maddy Moya said, “I go straight to Facebook when I get home. I like to look at my news feed.”
Also 7th grader Anonymous said, “I like to look and see if my old friends from my old school have [a Facebook]. I like to play Petville and take quizzes.” Katie Rathjen said, ”I have 0 friends on Facebook cause I don’t have one.” Many teachers have a Facebook account as well, but likely will not be friends with their students for privacy purposes.
Just remember, if you use this social site, be responsible and kind, don’t “friend” strangers, and have fun :)

Teacher's Funny and Embarrassing Moments By Katie Rathjen
Many of our teachers here at Lansing Middle School have had funny and embarrassing moments. Some moments are not as embarrassing as others like tripping over students binders (Mrs. Snodgrass) or accidentally wearing different colored shoes (Mrs. Lang). Here are a few teachers who were brave enough to share there stories.
After talking with a student about his homework Mr. Reeser walked backwards thinking the chair was behind him and of course it wasn’t behind and he fell flat on his rear. When talking with him he told me it was not fun…..at all.
At parent teacher conferences it was lunch time. Mrs. Jenkins was making her spaghetti when red spaghetti sauce spilt down the front of her shirt. She ended up going home and changing.
Mrs. Andrews gets very excited when teaching about Social Studies. When she gets excited she tends to spit. When she spits it gets all over the students in the front row. I really feel sorry for those unlucky students.
When a student made a gargoyle it came out of the kiln with a broken leg. Mrs. Baysinger super-glued the leg back on and let it dry on her desk. What Mrs. Baysinger didn’t know was that the glue was leaking onto her desk. The gargoyle got stuck to her desk and she spent lots of time trying to pull it off and scraping glue off of her desk.
So you’re not alone, all you accident-prone, mistake-making students… teachers are human too!

TOUCHDOWN!!! By: Celeste VanHoozier
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to play football? What position you would play and how hard it would be to play it is the question I asked some 7th football players. Also I asked how they got pumped up for their games.
Brian Orkis (7th gr. Defensive Tackle & Offensive guard #75) said,”It’s not hard to learn, all you have to do is listen to the coach. We get pumped by slapping each others pads and saying,’ Are you ready?’”
Samuel DeLeon (7th gr. Tackle #72) says, ”It’s very easy to learn to tackle because all you do is block and push back. We get pumped by doing drills.”
Dylan Rothery (7th gr. Guard #58) replied,” It was not hard at all to learn my position. I get pumped by stretching.”
Football is a fun and aggressive sport and you get to play all kinds of teams from other nearby towns. Playing on a recreational team is a little different than playing for LMS. That is why I encourage everyone to try playing sport for the school.

Challenge Day Comes to LMS Again!
I’m pretty sure that by now, many of LMS students know what Challenge Day is. The seventh graders have all participated it, along with most of the eighth graders (…previous seventh graders, obviously). Challenge Day is all about getting to know people you wouldn’t normally hang out with, and getting to know yourself. You open up to others, and share your feelings. It lasts for a whole school day (which is the best part for some people. ;D), on the dates of September 21st, September 22nd, and September 23rd. After this day, most people will be changed forever. Some might not even be changed at all…but I know I was.
The main thing is to keep what we learned at Challenge Day going… treat others with kindness and respect. Be honest and open. Make a positive difference in every aspect of your life and for those around you.
