Lady Lions Basketball finishes off a great season! By Celester Vanhoozier
Girls Basketball has done especially well this season. The 7th Grade has won a total of 14 of 18 games (not counting tournaments) since the season started. Many of the girls that played this year adapted very well to playing for the school since they have never done it before. I interviewed one girl from each team (A or B) and each grade about how they thought the season went, who they think the toughest team was, and what their favorite moment was in the entire season.
(Chelsea Stelter 7th A) “The season went totally freakin' amazing. The toughest school would probably be Piper. My fave [moment] would be when Sierra scored the winning point in overtime against Clark.”
(Cynthia Ferguson 7th B) “The season went very well because we lost only one game. The toughest team would probably be Mill Creek. And I loved playing my friends for Tongie.”
(Kija Commock 8th A) “This season went very good. Piper was the toughest team in my book. My best moment was when I was shooting free throws and everybody laughed.”
(Dani Harvey 8th B) “We worked very hard this season. Just like Kija I thought Piper was the toughest. My fave moment was when Kija knocked out somebody from Mill Creek.”
As we can see it’s been an amazing season this year for both 7th and 8th girls. Many girls can’t wait ‘til next year. Sadly this year’s 8th graders will be beginning their first year as high schoolers. Hopefully they will play throughout high school and then college. Our 7th graders will have tougher competition next year, so get ready!

Google vs. YAHOO! Which do you think is better? By Mekayla DePaolis
People have debated over it for years, Google or YAHOO!? Some people say Google is better because most people use it as a verb, as in “Oh, I’ll just Google that.” Well our LMS students weighed in and these are the outcomes:
Google: 339
YAHOO!: 66
When asked why they liked one or the other these students/teachers answered:
Google: ~ Shelby Ogden, “It’s just way better.”
~Devan Johnson, “Google has more variety.”
~Mr.Hoffman, “It’s fast and I like the new search function”
~Claire Jacobs, “Google reminds me of google-ly eyes and I like google-ly eyes.Yahoo sounds like a yodel and yodelers scare me.
Yahoo: ~Mr.Carmichael, “I don’t know I just do it’s really awesome.”
~Raina Perez, “I don’t know, I think because it’s fun to say Yahoo.”
Wow a lot of LMS students have weird reasons to like Google or Yahoo. By far Google seems to rule LMS but some kids asked about Bing. Does Google have better competition than Yahoo to worry about?

Waffles vs. Pancakes by Hannah Dean
We took a poll from LMS students on WAFFLES VS. PANCAKES. Which one is better?
And these are the results………………..
WaFfLeS: ~~~~~~ 86
PAnCAKeS:~~~~~~~ 73
So in honor of waffles winning, I found the most amazing Waffle recipe EVER!!!! It’s called
Chocolate Brownie Waffles (from mrbreakfast.com)
* 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
* 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
* 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
* 1 and 3/4 cups pancake mix
* 2 tbsp sugar
* 3 tbsp vegetable oil
* 1 and 1/3 cups water
* Heat waffle iron to its medium setting.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the pancake mix, walnuts, chocolate chips, cocoa and sugar.
Add water and oil; mix with wire whisk just until large lumps disappear. Let batter rest for at least 5 minutes.
Pour desired amount of batter into well greased waffle iron. Bake until indicator light goes off or until the steam stops.
And these are the results………………..

Students Celebrate Day of the Dead in Spanish Class
All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish students celebrated Day of the Dead by creating paper skeletons. They cut them out, attached joints with brads (so they could move), and decorated them with bright materials.
Top Ten Songs on Students’ I-Pods. By: Celeste VanHoozier
We all have songs that we listen to all the time and probably know all the words… jamming out in your room or singing when you think nobody’s listening. I want to know what is the top 10 songs on your I-Pod, MP3, or any other music player! (none of the boys asked would reveal their Top 10, so it’s all ladies today.)
Amber Ketchum (7th) said, “My 10 are (1) Call me when You’re Sober – Evanescence, (2) We will Rock You – Queen, (3) Mama’s Song- Carrie Underwood, (4) My little girl – Tim McGraw, (5) I’m a Survivor – Reba McEntire, (6) Before He Cheats – Carrie Underwood, (7) How You Remind Me – Nickleback, (8)Rock star – Nickleback, (9) Low – Florida, (10) Because of You- Reba McEntire.”
Anonymous (7th ) – answered,” My top 10 is (1) All I Do Is Win - DJ Khaled,(2) I Know How To Say – 3OH!3, (3) Streets of Gold – 3OH!3, (4)That Should Be Me – Justin Bieber, (5) Soundtrack 2 My Life – Kid Cudi, (6) Blind – Ke$ha (7) Secrets – OneRepublic (8) Dynamite – Taio Cruz (9) Ridin’ Solo – Jason Derulo (10) Only Girl in the World – Rihanna.”
Sarah Dean (6th) - said,” My top 10 songs are (1) Love the Way You Lie – Eminem feat. Rihanna, (2) New Divide – Linkin Park (3) Girlfriend – Avril Levigne, (4) Dynamite – Taio Cruz, (5) Magic – B.O.B., (6) Airplanes – Haley Williams feat. B.O.B., (7) That’s what you get – Paramore, (8) The DJ’s got us fallin’ in love again – Usher, (9) Club Can’t Handle Me – FloRida, (10) Fly on the Walk – Miley Cyrus.”
Alyssa Acevedo (8th) replied,” This is my top 10 (1) Back to December – Taylor Swift, (2) Last Friday Night – Katy Perry, (3) Animal – Neon Trees, (4)17 – Sky Ferreira, (5) Stranger – Usher, (6) Just the way you are – Bruno Mars, (7) Hey Princess – All Star Weekend, (8) Who owns my Heart – Miley Cyrus, (9) Jar of Hearts – Christina Perri, and (10) Stuttering – Fefe Dobson.”
Hannah Eubanks (8th) responded,” My top 10, (1)The One That got Away – Katy Parry, (2) Bad Romance – Lady Gaga, (3)Baby – Justin Bieber, (4) Mine – Taylor Swift, (5) Club Can’t Handle Me – FloRida, (6) Not Afraid – Eminem, (7) Untouchable – Taylor Swift, (8) Kiss & Tell – Ke$ha,(9) Hot Like Wow – Nadia Oh, (10) DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love – Usher.”
As you can see, nobody listens to the same genre of music. There are many genres such as country, pop, rock, dance, and ballad. Each genre is different from the next. A certain song can tell how you feel about anything. This is why I encourage everyone to listen to many types of music, not just one.
