Extended School Days(:

Ashtun Osborn                     

                                                Extended School Days

           Obviously we all now know about the new extended school days here in Harlan Community School District. The reason for the new extended school days here in Harlan Schools is because we have had so many snow days this year that it pushed our school year into June. The teachers thoroughly thought this over and thought that most kids would rather be stuck inside a warm school than be held inside school when its sunny and hot outside and they could be outside. So they brought this to Mr. Mueller and he brought it up to the School District and they decided that adding on half an hour to our school days would be a better solution.

 So now our days are longer, but our school year is shorter. We have to continue with these extended school days for 2 and half months. Some kids think this is a better idea than having to go until June. I asked Leah Fields what she thought about the longer school days and she replied “It’s dumb, because um you have to get up earlier and we start classes earlier and we don’t have time to actually sit before class and talk to people like we used to.” I also asked her if she thought it was a good thing since it doesn’t keep us in school in June. Leah then replied “t was a good thing since it doesn’t keep us in school in June. Leah then replied “Yeah, that’s the only good part about it.” So that’s Leah’s opinion.

 

 I also asked Majesta Musich what she thought of the new school days. She replied, “I haven’t really noticed much of a difference, I don’t mind it.” I then asked her what I also asked Leah about it being better by keeping us out of school in June she said, “Yeah, I like that. Because I don’t want to be at school when I could be swimming.” So as you see, some kids mind the new school days and others don’t. Personally, I’d rather be in a warm school in the winter rather than be sitting in school in June wishing I was outside. But like I said, kids think differently. That’s just my opinion on the new school days. So bottom line, whether we like it or not, we have extended days for 2 and half months. And there’s nothing we can do to change that. But there are some advantages to the new days, think positive!

Washington D.C. Trip

Wednesday 17, 2010, is when the 8th grade students are leaving to go to Washington D.C. They are going to be there  untill Sunday 21. I asked Shelby some questions about the Washington D.C. trip. Here are somethings she had to say.
Shelby what are somethings you are going to see?
"The World War 2 Museum, The Holocast Museum, The White House, and The Pentagon," said Shelby. What are some of the things you are looking forward to see?
"The World War 2 museum," said Shelby.
This trip will cost around $1600. The students had to do a bunch of things to raise money. We hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. And wish everyone on the Washington D.C. trip a good time. Caleb and me interveiwed Emily Blum one of the students that went one the Washinton D.C. Trip.
"Emily what was your favorite part of the Washintgton trip?"
"All of it." said Emily.
"Did you have fun?"
"Yes!" said Emily.
"How was the weather up there?"
"It was cold, but better then Iowa." said Emily.
"Did you guys have a certain time you had to be in your room at the hotel?"
"Yes, and it was 10." said Emily.
 "What time did you guys have to get up to be able to go see the things you were going to go see?"
"Well around 6:30." said Emily.
"What time did you guys get home on Sunday?"
 "Around 12:30P.M." said Emily.
Now that some of you guys know more about the trip. I hope that the future 8th grade students here at the Harlan Middle School would go on this trip and experience the wonderful time we had on the trip to  Washington D.C. Trip.(:

Hole in the Ceiling

     As most of you have heard there is a hole in the ceiling in the high school. But there is a story behind what had really happened. So we went to find the inside scoop. We went and talked to Mr. Broomfield, the superintendent, a few questions. To begin with what had really happened, he told us that there was so much snow on the roof that it had pushed down on metal rods which had been holding up the roof so the roof had caved in.

   
     Mr. Broomfield had stated that he does not think that it could get any worse than it already is. We asked him what would happen if the roof would get worse what would they do he responed as "We would probaly either use the options as in going into the middle school" The new West Ridge  or even the vets as a last result. "

    
     We had then asked him when it would get fixed and how much it would cost and he told  us, " It will be fixed in June and cost around $100,000." So there is our story leave comments and tell us if you think the ceiling is safe or not?
