Otter Brook

Today the 8th graders in Mrs. Egan science went to Otter Brook. This is a once a month event where we hike around in snowshoes and find tracks of different animals.

"Today we tracked a skunk from the starting point in the meadow to the brook to the path that lead back to the meadow. Everyone got really excited when we found the next track." Says Jamie Ammon.

All of those who didn't go today, you sure missed an adventure!

Beastly

The new movie Beastly is in theaters! Starring Alex Pettyfer, Vannesa Hudgens, Mary Kate Olsen, and Dakota Johnson, is sure to become an instant hit! The genre is romantic, drama, and fantasy. Beastly is a modern take on the classic Beauty and the Beast. The gorgeous Alex Pettyfer is playing the role as Kyle, a New York teenager. He is transformed into a hideous monster, until he finds his true love. It is a must see!

I Am Number Four

Have you heard of the new movie I am Number Four? Well it's only the best new movie around! Starring Alex Pettyfer, Timothy Olyphant, Teresa Palmer, Dianna Agron, and Kevin Durand. Alex Pettyfer as John Smith, is number four. A fugitive on the run from his enemies. Moving from town to town and changing his idenity, he meets the love of his life. There are nine of his kind, three are dead, and he is number four. Full of action, Julianna Stone said "I'd give it 5 stars!". With an action filled plot, you will be on the edge of your seat throughout the whole hour and forty-four minutes! I am Number Four is still in theaters so be sure to catch it!

Glee

Are you a Gleek? I am! Glee is a TV show on Tuesday nights at 8:00 on Fox. This show is great it has drama, comedy, relationships, relationship problems and of course singing!

Glee takes oldies and puts a new spin on them and the cast also sings new songs such as "Firework", Justin Beiber songs, "Tik Tok", "4 Minutes", "Telephone", and "Teenage Dream".

In the TV show Will Schuester, the Glee Club teacher, tries to get the club up and running but hits a road block and that road block's name is Sue Sylvester, the Cheerleading coach. Sue wants to demolish the Glee Club and she spends her whole time planning schemes and little comments that will bring Will Schuester down.

I love this show because of the singing and because how the Glee Club brings people from different groups together and becomes friends.
