The Penguins have won their past 8 games defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs last night. They play them tonight at Air Canada Center. It should be an interesting match up. The Penguins have been in a lot of shoot out and overtime wins. I hope the Pens can win tonight.

New Lab VS Old Lab

Daniel P — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:23:42 +0000

I am Justin, and I am taking the side if the old computer lab because since I am in eighth grade and I always used to play on the computer in my free time, but when someone decided to get the new computer lab, it spoiled my plan.

I am Dainel, and I am taking the side of the NEW computer lab. It isn’t crammed in with the eight grade room, and it is a brand new building! It has a white board, and a cool projecter. It is definitely the best of the two by a longshot!

Giants VS Patriots In Super Bowl XLVI

The Giants face the Patriots in Super Bowl 46 on Sunday, February 5. The Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game.The Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game. I, personally, would rather see the Giants beat the Patriots again in this Super Bowl. Best of luck to both teams!

Flag Assembly

Josiah M. — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:16:02 +0000

The Mon Valley Shipmates have come to our school once again to teach us about the history of the American flag as well as flag etiquette. We learned that in 1777, the first flag was made with 13 stars and 13 stripes. That was followed by a 15 star, 15 striped flag. They decided to stop using the star-and-stripe-per-state system, and we eventually switched permanently to our 50 star, 13 stripe flag.

We also learned that the flag should be folded 13 times, and that when the flag passes you in a parade, you should stand tall with your hand on your heart.

The Wii Bowling Club has now been moved to eighth grade. My team partner and I have an averaged score of 179. The trip from my class to Wii Bowling is substantially shortened. We are in second place by only 8 points. The club is very fun, I have a Wii at home and I don’t play often, I think I play more at school though.
