LJHS Circuit Rider April. 2018 Easter is a religious holiday that celebrates and honors the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This holiday is Christianity’s most important holiday, other than Christmas , which celebrates Jesus’ birthday. Some also say that Easter origins from the Teutonic goddess, Eostre. Others say that Eater is traced to the Latin word hebdomada alba which means “white week.” This was in reference to the people who were baptized and wore white clothing. People soon found out that there was a translation error. The word hebdomada alba really means Easter in English. Easter is often celebrated by the Easter Bunny coming into people’s houses, like Santa Claus, and hide eggs. When all the children in the world wake up, they would hunt the eggs and maybe find a little surprise inside. Even though Easter is a religious holiday, everyone around the world celebrates it, religious or not. Happy Easter everyone! April 2018 Alaina- “I am going to Disneyworld, and Arika is coming too!

Our school was rated 5 out of 10 based on performance skills, school environment, graduation rate, and more. Five out of ten is the average rat- ing for schools in Illinois. We have an average of 417 students, meaning our school is average size over the years. In our school, there is roughly 49% male students and 51% female.

A few things you can do for this springtime holiday are: Usually around Easter time the weather is nice so, bring your pets or some friends! Gather your friends and family and go have someone hide eggs with treats inside! Safely color boiled egg shells with food coloring! Seeing how Easter is a holiday surrounding the resurrection of Jesus, you could spend some time at Church! LJHS Circuit Rider April. 2018 Bugs bunny was created by Ben Hardaway, cal Dalton, Charles Thorson, Tex Avery, Bob Givens, Chuck Jones, and Robert Mckimson. Bugs is a gray hare or rabbit who has a insouciant personality. He often times says, “Eh… what’s up, doc?”. He is very famous for he has appeared in TV series, music records, comic books, video games, award shows, amusement park rides, commercials, shorts films, and feature films. Recently The Four contestant Zhavia has caught the eyes and ears of many music lovers. Zhavia rocked the show by singing a cover of Bodak Yellow. She also sang songs by Khalid and Rihan- na. According to Yahoo, she had health concerns which resulted in a rough performance. This is what Yahoo said, “ The fluctua- tions between her strained upper notes and froggy lower regis- ter, combined with her garbled enunciation, made this almost painful to the ear. But looking at her, with her waist-length dreadlocks, drag-queen eye makeup, and Cher Lloyd attitude, there was no denying that she looked like a star.” Kendyle who was going against Zhavia. Meghan Trainor who host the show later told Kendyle, “Your performance may have outshined Zha- via tonight, but as an artist, I want to buy Zhavia’s album.” April 2018 You will need: 2tsp of vanilla extract A whole chicken Dough from a frozen pizza Ice cream (to cry while you make it cause it won’t be as good as Wubbzy’s) 3 cups of Chickey jelly 2 tsp.
