Earth Day: Go Green and Turn off The Lights Student Council Elections By: Baylee Steelman By Jamie Sarkozi Many people all over the world celebrated This year’s student council Earth Day on April 22nd of this year. Big cites such as elections were something amazing. This London, England, Chicago, Illinois, and Seattle, group of candidates have plenty of great Washington, shut off their lights at nighttime for ideas for next year. The candidates were conserving energy in honor of the holiday. They saved Kelli Bates and Riley Andriano and thousands of dollars in electricity over an hour, which is Christopher St.Louis for President. Jamie very good considering all the energy we use. People all Sarkozi for Vice President, Rachel Thorson over the globe are “going green” and finding new ways for Secretary, P.J. O’ Connell for Treasurer. to save money by using less power in their homes. Some And Damon Harris and Nathan Giacchino ways people “go green” is recycling, using solar panels, ran for Srgt. Of Arms. On Friday, May 15th driving hybrid automobiles, and some people have wind we held elections for candidates and the turbines for their usage. But sadly, not all people are one you think can do the job the best. Our energy efficient. Everyday people get into their cars and new 2009-2010 Student Council officers are: use fossil fuels to power it. When the gas goes into the air, it gets into the atmosphere and causes pollution. The President – Riley Andriano ozone layer within the atmosphere is slowly getting Vice President – Jamie Sarkozi destroyed by pollution, which is causing global Secretary – warming, and global warming, is not cool. Treasurer – Everyone in the world contributes to causing Srgt. Of Arms - pollution. Now since we got ourselves into this mess, we need to try our hardest to not make it worse. You too can help by going green and doing the best you can by helping Earth. Just because you are one person doesn’t mean you can make a difference in this world. So go and start being energy efficient.

First of all, Congratulations to the 8th graders who are going to high school next year. To the 8th graders I would say that you should just try your best and be who you are and not care what other people think. BBCHS is a much bigger school than here and there are a lot more classes, students, and teachers to get to know. If you work hard and do what you think is right you will succeed and maybe even get a scholarship. Good luck! The 7th graders will be the oldest students in the school next year! We need to show the 8th grade teachers that we can do as good as or maybe even better than the 8th graders last year. Next year is the last year we will be in middle school so we need to show the teachers that we can reach their expectations to the fullest. Eighth grade is not going to be easy as 6th or 7th was but we just need to try and show that we can do what we know we can. We just need to act like young adults and show the younger kids what to do and be good examples. Sixth graders, you will not be the youngest any more! You will be in the 7th graders next year so that means new teachers and working harder. I won’t lie, 7th grade can be difficult at times, but you just need to study and be on your best behavior. There is no need to worry about 7th grade, it can be difficult but only when you don’t try your hardest.

Ambree Chaplinski NCIS By Brianna Conerty By Taylor Stuenkel

For my interview I asked my friend, OK, let’s get this out of the way. NCIS Ambree Chaplinski, some questions. stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Ambree’s favorite thing to do in the This show has a mix of drama as well as summer is swim, but she also likes to do comedy. Mark Harmon takes the challenging lots more. I asked her who her boyfriend role as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, known would be if she could pick ANYONE. She for his Gibbs slap and his original roles. said Adam Lambert because he has an Michael Weatherly plays Special Agent amazing singing voice and he’s cute. Her Anthony “Tony” DiNozzo. Other cast members favorite class of the day is lunch because include Cote de Pablo as Mossad Liaison Ziva she really likes the people she sits by. If David, Sean Murray as the geeky Special Agent Ambree could change our school name, Timothy McGee, Pauley Perrette as gothic she actually said that she wouldn’t forensic scientist Abby Sciuto, David McCallum because she likes the name and thinks it’s as M.E. Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard, and fine the way it is because it’s the same Rocky Carroll as Director Leon Vance. NCIS is name as our town, the way it should be. on their 6th season as of now. If you do decide Chocolate chip cookies are her all time to watch the show (DO IT MAN!) I will warn favorite kind of cookie. I asked her what you. Ziva does get her English mixed up she liked best about 8th grade and she said sometimes. For example, instead of “big time” the best thing was getting to watch Mr. it’s “large time” and instead of “up the wall” it’s Bloomquist and Mrs. Magruder do Dance “up the hall”. For all things NCIS go to Dance Revolution. Ambree said that she www.cbs.com and to to shows and then NCIS. things the best thing about BBCHS will be I’m addicted and proud.. will you be? If there the sports and extra curricular activities. are any further questions, please contact me, Her dream car is a pink or lime green Taylor Stuenkel, in the 7th grade wing. Lamborghini. The thing she is going to miss the most about Bradley Central is her friends because she has a lot and she is going to Bishop Mac. When I asked her if she likes to go to the beach to tan or to swim she said she really likes both but would mostly be tanning. If she could MYSTERY TEACHER make up a holiday it would be called Pink BY Tiffany Bisping Day, and on that day, everyone would wear pink….because she says it’s the best He/She attended three colleges. He/She likes color! pigs and Labrador Retrievers. His/Her favorite star would be Carlton Fisk. If you know who this mystery teacher is, bring your guess to Mrs. Allen’s room in 203.
