Book Reviews!!!

The pep rally!Before the Park School tournaments for the 6th and

Varsity teams the Middle

and Upper division wanted

to wish them good luck for

there favorite team.... Park!

The pep rally was held

under the big oak. With

broken banners, high fives,

green confetti, painted

faces, and the roaring chant of P.... A......R.....K rang

through that space as we all

danced in joy!

Pep Rally!By Rishi Banerjee

The results... Let’s just say that Park did really well! The Girls varsity won it all while the 6the grade boys came in 6th in Fessenden. Boys Varsity and girls field hockey were here but just fell short of winning. All round Park did really well!

Special thanks to Mr. Little for all the effort he has put a great tournament this

year!

RANDOM PAGEReview: Alex Rider- The Alex Rider series is terrific. In Stormbreaker Alex Rider is met by countless of readers. He has a housekeeper Jack(ie) and never knew his parents. He lives with his Uncle Ian, who keeps him well-educated. The 14 year old knows countless of languages and he is beyond belts in karate. One day Uncle Ian mysteriously dies in a car accident and the school-boy’s future is left to fate. Alex visits the junk yard and the small round bullet-holes in the driver’s side of a familiar car can only confirm his suspicions. He is confused, ever more so when he meets M16, the British Intelligence. He is recruited and thrust into a spy world. After training he goes on his first mission, Stormbreaker! To find the rest, read the book. Trust me and put it on hold if you ever want to get it.
