Valentine's Day! |
President's Day! |
|
By Staff Writer: Kenzie
As Valentine’s Day rolls around again, many people are going to be out buying gifts for their loved ones. Did you know that every year over 36 million boxes of chocolate hearts are sold? Men spend twice as much as women on Valentine’s Day. Flowers are often popular around this time. WMS Student Council sold carnations at lunch the week before Valentine’s Day, giving students the opportunity to share the love with their peers. Don’t forget to let your family, friends, and other peers know that you appreciate them as this special day rolls around again this year.

This past Monday was February 17th, also known as presidents day. Presidents day was passed on as a holiday in 1971 to honor the presidents of the united states. This day was originally to celebrate George Washington, it was supposed to be a yearly celebration of his birthday, but now it has become a day where we celebrate all of the presidents that have served for the United States. This day is now known as Presidents Day and is celebrated every year on February 17th. Since Presidents Day is a national holiday in the U.S we got Monday off to celebrate it. |

By Staff Writer: Lily
The week of February 3rd through 7th Student Council sold flowers during all three lunches. The flowers were a dollar each. Students could purchase flowers for a friend or yourself. The flowers were to be delivered on February 13th during I.E. One student bought 71 flowers for someone, now that's gotta be a new school record. In total the student council sold 480 flowers. We hope you got a flower. Happy Valentines Day from the Grizzle!!!! |

Pep Rally
|
By Staff Writer: Sienna
On February 14th the Wadsworth Middle School had their third pep rally of the year! The pep rally stared the schools basketball players and wrestlers. We had an amazing basketball and wrestling season with the coaches very proud of all the players and their hard work. There was something special about this pep rally instead of only three rounds to compete for the trophy we had seven! The eighth graders were in the lead but then with an amazing half court shot the seventh graders came through on top, claiming the trophy proudly! Taking it away from the eighth graders leading to a sad loss. With only one more pep rally left of the year the eighth graders need to turn up the heat, but the seventh graders need to defend their rightfully earned trophy. We hope you had fun!! |

Kai:
We had the pleasure of interviewing one of our 7th graders, Kai! We asked him some questions about Valentine’s day. The first question we asked him was “Who in your life do you love and why?” Kai said that he loves his parents because they are always there for him. They always have his back when he needs help. He also loves his brother because they always stick together and have fun with each other. Next, we asked him, “What is your favorite thing about Valentine’s Day?” Kai likes to spend time with his loved ones and show appreciation for the people in his life. We asked him if he was going to buy carnations, and he replied that he would only be getting meaningful things for his family. We had so much fun interviewing you Kai!
Dylan:
We had the pleasure of interviewing one of our 8th graders, Dylan! We asked him some questions about Valentine’s day. We asked him who he loved in his life and why we had a very interesting conversation about the importance of family. He said that his family is always there for him no matter what. He said that whenever he has an issue that they are always there to help him. Dylan’s favorite candy is the candy hearts, especially the hard ones that break your teeth. Whatever floats your boat, Dylan! We had so much fun interviewing you!
Rowan:
Next, we interviewed one of our 7th graders, Rowan! Rowan loves her family because they always do nice things for her. She also loves her siblings because as she states it, “Even though they can be annoying, they’re my siblings so I have to love them.” Rowan’s favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is sharing it with the people she loves. She likes to tell them that she appreciates them. She also loves chocolate. (who doesn’t?) Rowan isn’t buying carnations for anyone this year, but she is prepared to have a great Valentine’s Day with her friends and family! Thank you for your time, Rowan.
Hannah:
Our final interview was with Hannah! She told us how she loved her friends, especially “Haley, Kenzie, Elise, and Lauren. Because they are some of my really close friends, and they are really funny and will be there for me when I need to beat someone up.” That’s one way to look at it, Hannah! She told us that her favorite candy was Reese Cups and loves to get chocolate and money from her grandma. Hershey Kisses are also a close second. Hannah plans on buying all of her besties carnations. She told us “I really love my friends because they are always there for me when I need it. They are really nice to me and put up with me. I have a lot of energy all the time, I almost feel bad for them because they have to deal with my spaztic behaviors.” We had a lot of fun interviewing you, Hannah and hearing all of what you had to say!
