Outdoor Adventure Tomorrow

Hello All!

     Don't forget that tomorrow, Tuesday March 25, we are all going cross-country skiing in the frigid weather, so bundle up!

Sock Hop Saturday!

     Hello everyone!  Do you like to dance?  Do you like loud music and groovy tunes?  Do you enjoy great food and even better entertainment?

     If so, we have just the event for you!  Saturday March 22, at 6:30 PM, we are hosting a 50's Sock Hop here at Helen S. Dunn School!  We have great music, great food, fantastic decorations, and a limbo bar, so come by and have a blast!

     Show up and show off your skills!  Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Flanders, and so many others have put a lot of time into this fun event, so come to the school and have a great time!

     We have new speakers, a disco mirror ball,  food and drink, and even hula hoops!  The staff beat you all at the basketball game Thursday afternoon; here's your chance to show them up!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

     Happy Saint Patrick's Day from 8th Grade!

School is Cancelled Today

Good morning!

     The administration has cancelled school today, due to the slippery road conditions caused by the massive amount of snow we received in the last fifteen hours.  Enjoy your day off, and don't forget to catch up on any late homework!

Early Release Today

Good morning!

     School starts at the normal time today, but the administration has called an early release, due to the incoming storm.  You will have your regular morning classes, intervention, and lunch, and then we will dismiss you at noon.

     Enjoy the afternoon in the snow!

Droopy willow trees

make good shade, but it sadly
makes me feel the same.

Covered in water,

seven billion people

won’t last forever.

A beautiful stream

flows along the Pacific;

pebbles sink in you.

I walk through the woods;

I look for moose, deer, and birds,

but I find nothing.

Pizza Rolls

     Nicole and Jasmine wrote a clever poem about their favorite snack today, and they insist they will now write a whole series on microwaved food.  The eighth grade is studying how poetry sometimes ignores standard conventions of written English, and often comments on obscure aspects of life.  Here is their first ode to nuked goodness,

Pizza Rolls

Pizza Rolls are very hot,

I like them a lot.

They make me super happy,

They make me want to clappy.

The first bite is like lava,

It starts so much drama.

Sauce, Cheese, Pepperoni, and Dough,

That’s like heaven, you know.

They make you fat,

But I’m okay with that.

Five minutes to go,

Time is ticking slow.

They are my life,

I will ask them to be my wife.

They are my favorite food,

Even if they’re already chewed.

That’s actually so gross,

I think I want some toast.

No, never mind; they’re still my love,

I almost lost them to a dove.

Everyone at the end of the line,

They’re all mine!

Fifteen rolls in a box,

Everyone loves them, even a fox.

They make you better when you’re sick,

It makes me want to post a pic.

They are my best friend,

Forever till the end.

They’re great!

Almost better than Frosted Flakes.

Do-do-de-do-do-dum

They are yummy in my tum.

So gooey on the inside,

I literally almost cried.

My stomach is hollow,

Chew, Chew, and Swallow.

You can share them or not,

Hmm, I’d rather not.

They’re almost gone.

That’s a con.

I’m so full of cr—,

I think I need a nap.
