“Jr. High school students fly to the amazing city

of New York!”

“Students visit St. Patrick’s Chapel”The St. Patrick’s

Chapel is one of the most beautiful chapels in all New York, the art inside of it is simply amazing, and it´s extremely big. The outer part of the building is gothic style, the inside is part French art and part Italian mixed with British.

Fear the beard: Magic players growing facial hair for rest of season Things are about to get hairy in the Orlando Magic locker room.In a movement spearheaded by small forward Quentin Richardson, the Magic players decided to grow out their facial hair from now until the end of the playoffs – whenever that happens to be."We're about to go like this until we win it or until whatever happens," Richardson said. The initiative started Wednesday night before Orlando defeated the New York Knicks. The rules are simple: You start from wherever you're at now, and you can cut your hair, but you can't shave your face.They're calling the movement, "Fear the Beard".The team kicked around a handful of other ideas, but in the end, full beards won out in a decision that didn't even require a vote."We talked about doing something as a team, and we thought about the bald heads but some of us – myself – don't look right with a bald head," Magic center Dwight Howard said. "Then we thought about letting our hair grow out, and we got a lot of guys who are going bald, so it was going to look funny, just patches on their head. So the beard is the only way to go."A number of Magic players – including Hedo Turkoglu, Ryan Anderson, Jason Richardson, Malik Allen and Jameer Nelson – already wear a goatee, but none of them fashion a full beard. Gilbert Arenas had a full beard during his time with Washington, but he's kept his facial hair short so far this season.Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy is known for his trademark mustache, but it's unclear whether the coaching staff will be part of the growth movement.

Should Celtics, Lakers give it a rest???The other night, in the playoff-charged atmosphere of Madison Square Garden, Doc Rivers had a problem on his hands, one that a few other NBA coaches are familiar with at this time of the season.With the Knicks showing signs of pulling away from Rivers’ Celtics early in the fourth quarter on Monday night, Rivers desperately wanted to reinsert Kevin Garnett into the game to restore some law and order at the defensive end. At one point, he looked down at Garnett and was just about to call his name, but then he remembered the number 34

NFL todayToday the National Football League is living

one of its worst moments in the last couple of decades. The problem is that players now

receive about 60% of the total NFL income, and owners want to reduce that to about 42%, in addition to this, owners want to add 2 more

games to the schedule, and players are not happy about it. During the last month, several

reunions have had place to try to find an agreement for this problem. Even the

commissioner had his salary cut to one dollar as a sign that he isn´t there for the money. In

other news, the NFL draft is coming up, and the best college football players will be

available for NFL teams to take. Some of the biggest names in this year’s draft are: Cam

Newton, Ryan Mallet, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert to mention some. This draft promises to be one of the best ones in the last couple of

years.

This year was a good year in the school Olympics. We did a lot of activities. There were two teams one was green and the other white. We competed and the white teams won overall. We also had a competition for the parents.

Today you have to be alert for everything. Like when you go to the market, before you get out the car check if someone is around you or if there is someone suspicious. If you see someone suspicious it’s better to continue your way, don’t stop, don’t look back, just continue. Lock the doors of the car, of your house. Never open the door to strangers, because you never know who they are and what they want.

Almost in all the places we go to, we find people that want to ask questions, surveys or your opinion about something, your phone number, your name, age etc. Years ago, we were able to answer this type of questions, but now we can’t. Because there are people that only want information to harm you, your family or friends. So never give information to strangers. Be careful about all you say and who you say it to. We have to be aware.

The next musician we will talk about is Justin Bieber. Well, the truth is I don’t like his music, but I like his

story. From being a normal boy that uploaded videos on you tube, he

became a super pop star and a great symbol for girls. During his

childhood, Bieber was interested in hockey, soccer, and chess; he often

kept his musical aspirations to himself. As he grew up, Bieber

taught himself to play the piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet. In early

2007, when he was twelve, Bieber sang Ne-Yo's "So Sick" for a local

singing competition in Stratford and placed second. Mallette posted a

video of the performance on YouTube for family and friends to

see. She continued to upload videos of Bieber singing covers of various

R&B songs, and Bieber's popularity on the site grew. Now this guy is

very rich, famous, and considered very talented.

To conclude this music section, I invite you to try learn any type of Art, try to learn painting, dance, music, acting, etc. It will help you to experience new things and see what you can be capable of you are still able to achieve you want. Well this is it. I hope you enjoyed it!
