What We Can Do To Make The Snowball Stay?

School Dances!!!

What We Can Do To Make The Snowball Stay?

By: Paris B

   People have fun with games and parties.  But you can also have fun with some of the school dances that the Glenburn NJHS holds.  There has already been 2 school dances at the Glenburn School.  The Neon Dance and The Winter Dance.  Some say that they might not be having any snowballs anymore.  Snowballs are when a boy and a girl dance with each other at slow dances.  Whenever there is a school dance and it’s time for a snowball no one dances with each other.  What’s the point of a snowball if no one is dancing?  People are always standing and not dancing with anyone if a boy/girl asks him/her.  If you do not want to dance with someone you should just sit down so then someone else will know that you don’t want to dance.  Even the people that hosted The Neon/Winter Dance asked everyone if they weren’t going to dance then to sit down or else they wouldn’t have a snowball anymore.  In theory, lets just dance and listen to whatever the people say so we don’t lose the best way to bond with a girl or a boy.  

WILL IT HIT MAINE?

WILL IT HIT MAINE?
by Malorie B

California was hit with the worst storm they have had in 5 years. Some say that the storm is heading for Maine. California is looking towards heavy rainfall. Some parts of California are supposed to get 9 inches of rain, and other spots are only getting 3-6 inches. Sierra Nevada could be getting 4 inches of snow during this storm. The storm is still happening and we are unsure if it will make it to Maine.

Pascal Dupuis - National Hockey Player

By: Connor R.

Pascal Dupuis is a National Hockey Player for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He was doing very well until the middle of last month when he started having symptoms like coughing chest pain and splinting ribs while bleeding. This lead to a blood clot in lungs. He is out for at least six months which means that he will miss the rest of the season and maybe out for some of the next season. This stinks for him because he would have helped his team out a lot and would have been a potential pick for the all-star game. Wish him good luck.

Got Deer

By: Isaac V

In Eastport Maine, there is a problem with how many deer are in the area. They are trying to take precautions to limit the amount of deer. They are trying to make a route for them to be able to come in and out. They are also trying to extend the bow season in the area so more deer will be harvested. In Eastport they are not allowed to hunt with rifles because the houses are so close together so bowhunters only get a short amount of time to hunt. The deer have become invasive and they are making things dangerous for the people because there are more and more collisions with deer. I have cousins that live in Eastport and they see deer on a daily bases. My grandmother has even seen a momma deer and her baby walking across the bridge. So if you ever end up going to Eastport make sure you watch out for deer and make sure to check out the waterfront!

Are Expensive Headphones Good

Are Expensive Headphones Good

By: Alex C.

They say the the higher the price the better the sound quality, but that is not always the case most of the time they are just loud. If you get dollar headphones they might break the first time you use them but might have pretty good quality. If you get mega priced headphones you may find that other people might not want to be around you because you complain or are overprotective of your headphones, when they are not as good as a twenty dollar pair from Walmart. If you get really cheap ones, you may will be reckless and have to buy a lot of pairs and that adds up. From my experience if you get head priced in between 20-50 dollars you will get headphones that won't make you deaf and won't break easily. The sound quality will also be pretty good.

How To Keep Your Basketball Game Up

By. Andrew S.

How To Keep Your Basketball Game Up

Are you saying that your practice was canceled by bad weather?  The Glenburn School B-basketball was canceled for two days in a row because of the ice on the roads.  Ideas for kids on basketball teams if a practice is canceled is you can buy or borrow a mini hoop to keep yourself active.  Anyone can do this to stay on top of their game.  To stay in top fitness you can run up the stairs or shovel your driveway.  With these activities you can practice at your house.  If  you have a hard-wood floor you can dribble a little ball if you don’t have a basketball at your house.  At your house you can also think of plays for your team to run in games.  You can ask someone at your house if they want to play defense or offense and go against them keep your game up.  Also you can do many exercises to stretch and make you stronger.  This is for basketball players and anyone who is interested in basketball or anyone who wants to stay active to stay active.  

3rd Quarter Hustle

by Malorie B.

Tuesday December 2, 2014 the Glenburn chargers had their first game of the season. They played at Hermon Middle school against Hermon. The game was very challenging and hard but in the end we pulled through and won 40-45. We had a great first quarter, we worked hard on defense and didn’t let them stop us. In the the fourth quarter we hustled and focused because we really wanted to win. It was a great first game!

The Next game for the Glenburn chargers boys & girls ‘A’ teams is Home vs. Center Drive school (Orrington)

HUGE SNOWSTORM COMES THROUGH GLENBURN

by Olivia S

The state of Maine got a huge snowstorm this past weekend. The roads were terrible, cars were off the roads, power was lost, and people were extremely frustrated. In Glenburn, almost every family lost power. Those who have a generator are very fortunate because the power is still lost by many in Glenburn. I am the oldest of 3 sisters, and we lost power on Sunday around 4:30. We still do not have any power, and it has been very chilly in our house. Luckily, we had a snow day on Monday so we could go to our friends’ house and take showers. We stayed the night there because our house still had no power. Last night, we still didn’t have power, so we had to stay in a hotel. The school offered overnight accommodations to all Glenburn residents that needed a warm place to stay. The fire department also gave a certain amount of time for Glenburn residents to make their dinner, and eat. Hopefully, the power comes on soon because many are suffering of no heat, water, and light!

Glenburn Soccer Season has Come to an End

by Team Captain Jaeda R.

Sadly, the 2014 Glenburn Soccer season has come to an end. This season we came last in our division. But together, as a team, we increased in skill. We definitely improved from the first game to the last. I am very happy about the outlook on the team. Every game we went out with a bang, trying our hardest. But as I have said before, we don’t have a lot of returning players, so we could never come out with a win! No matter the score, every teammate left with a smile, knowing that they tried their hardest, I am so glad that I could be the captain for the 2014 Glenburn Girls Soccer Team!

DRAMA POSTPONED

By: Olivia R.

The 5-6 drama play has been moved to Thursday at 6:30 because we were suppose to have a full dress rehearsal but there was a bad snowstorm and a lot of people’s power went out and no one could drive on the roads.  So we are having a full dress rehearsal tomorrow and the play will be this Thursday.   I am pretty sure everyone has memorized their lines. I hope there isn’t any problems with this change.  If there is we are very sorry.  Have a nice day.

A Blizzard on the First Day of November

by Austin S

Every night all I have to do is stare at candles, and the only warmth comes from my dog. My house doesn't even have water. To get water we have to go to the store to buy jugs of water. The only thing we have to eat is sandwiches from the store, chips, or stuff off the grill. We were so cold we almost went to a hotel to get a shower and charge our phones and get warmth. The first time I saw the snow I thought it was going to be great for the next couple days, but nope just coldness. I even heard a transformer went up in flames. It's only my rode that doesn’t have power, because right outside our rode everyone else has power.

Spotify or Pandora?

Spotify or Pandora?

by Mia M

Pros of Spotify

• Get to pick your own songs
• Barely any commercials
• You can create
• Can listen to the radio
• Follow artists and see new songs by them or what songs they like
• Instead of liking a song by song you can just click save and you have all the songs
• Available in 23 countries
• 20 million songs
• Interacts with Facebook you can have new recommendations your friends make

Cons of Spotify

• They have some commercials but not a lot
• You would need wifi to connect
• It can be a little confusing if you don’t know what you're doing
• After 6 months of free service you are limited to 10 hours of songs per month
• 3 times more expensive than Pandora’s free ads
• Has failed to compensate artists fairly

Pros of Pandora:

• You can somewhat choose your favorite music by liking it
• Mobile app is free
• You can discover new artists or songs related to your search

Cons of Pandora

• Limited song selection
• You don’t get to pick a specific song
• You can’t rewind, or repeat
• Only one track per album could be played at a time
• After a certain amount of skipping through songs you can’t anymore
• Tons of adds

The decision is based on opinion, but my opion would be Spotify.

Glenburn School Will Miss You, Miss Robinson!

Last Friday was Miss. Robinson’s last day teaching at Glenburn School. All of the students, teachers, and staff wore pink for Miss. Robinson. She has been teaching at our school for 30 years, and she has been amazing. Unfortunately, I never had her for a teacher, but she treated me and the rest of the students as her own. She has done a phenomenal job teaching at Glenburn School. If you ever got a chance to walk by her in the hallway, she always had a huge smile on her face. On Friday, she left school in a limo, and many of the students and staff stood in a line. She got into the limo and waved goodbye to Glenburn School.

Miss Robinson, you will be miss
