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?

The 2009-2010 Blizzards






            As we all know, the 2009-2010 Blizzards was hard on everyone.  Many people had no power during most of the storms. What did you do during the snow storm? Did you drink hot chocolate, or did you go outside and make snowmen, or did you make snow angels. If you said you went outside during the storm then… you are crazy!
            Most people where snowed in and they couldn’t go anywhere, for food, or for warmth.  Some people had to use the heat pads that you use for your hands in their socks!  And since you need electricity for a heater, the people who had no power had no way to heat their house, some people used generators or they used their fire place if they had one.
                             
     Another issue for some people was taking care of their animals.  It was too cold for them to stay outside, but if they were inside for too long, then they would go on the floor… and nobody wants to clean that up!
            The electric lines are in no fit condition for another storm.  What the people could do to fix them was like putting band-aids on them, and they can only fix them when the snow is gone, which won’t turn out very good if there are any more storms.





             On January 21, there was an ice storm, which added plenty of ice to the power lines, and some of them fell.  A lot of people didn’t have any power, but there were a few who lost it for two days, and some will lose it for a week or longer. 
            Did you lose power? Well if you did are you running a generator? Or are you using a fireplace to try to keep you're home warm?
