Before the ‘Break’….. Well, here we go again. We got the present of a blizzard on Christmas Eve so why not include an ice storm to top it off? This should be fun! 100% chance of snow and ice! Oh boy!!! Most of us are over the cold, but who can complain about possibly being out of school Friday?
If it’s a problem you better not tell anyone or you are going to be considered crazy. Bring on the ice and break out the sledding because we obviously won’t be leaving our houses for a while. Considering this is Oklahoma we might just have Tornadoes so watch out. We never know what’s going to happen but when all the meteorologist agree that there’s a hundred percent chance of winter weather I really think it’s going to snow. They’re saying that this storm is going to be worse than the ice storm of 2007. Yippee! Let’s all pray that the power doesn’t go out. We just want to be warm!!! Have a good break guys. I’m going to find my sled. Peace out! By: Kara Harris After the ‘Break’…. I am happy to say we not only got out of school Friday, but also Thursday, Monday, and Tuesday!! Talk about getting lucky! The conditions were terrible for driving, and with the constant refreezing ever night, it took forever for all those back roads to be considered
drivable enough for the buses. So us kids who were only expecting a three-day weekend, we got a six-day one!! Woohoo! Sledding, snowman building, and snow
(or ice?) ball fights galore for six days straight! Cabin fever began to run rampant, so the brave drove to hang out/pick up friends to cure it!
Luckily, not many lost power in Piedmont, so the cold wasn’t too completely miserable, but after about day three, it got to be a little much. Either way,
it was a much needed break. How the school board decides to make up those school days missed…well, we all are waiting on the edge of our seats for that! By: Taylor Tyler |

Throughout the halls and classrooms, all you hear people talk about is “The Hangover”. Whether they’re reciting lines or describing scenes, it’s the only movie you hear about right now. Is it really that good, though? Is it a gut-busting comedy like they make it out to be? Honestly, I don’t think it’s that hilarious. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the movie and laughed like there was no tomorrow, but all the hoopla isn’t necessary and makes it out to be better than it really is. Have any of you guys seen it for a second time? It wasn’t as exciting and it was hard to pay attention to. I mean sure, “not at the table Carlos” was pretty great. But you knew what was going to be said, so it wasn’t quite so funny. In reality, movies like “Stepbrothers” and “Pineapple Express” were far better. I could watch those over and over and laugh at the same stupid stuff, unlike “The Hangover”. So people, stop making this movie out to be better then it really is, especially since it’s not so hot a second time! |

The world is at a stand still now as we watch and wait to see what becomes of the country of Haiti. It was destroyed by a 7.0 earthquake January 12, 2010. The death toll is unknown but is said to be tens of thousands of innocent people. Today in our fourth hours, we all watched a video about the disaster, and we’re all aware of the devastation the country is going through. This Friday and next Tuesday are our days to step up and help. On these two days, during fourth hour, teachers are going to go around collecting money to send to Haiti. The school encourages all students to please bring what you can. If you want to give outside of school, you can text ‘Haiti’ to 90999 to donate ten dollars to support Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti. (It will add ten dollars to your phone bill) Haiti can use whatever we can give. It’s going to take years for this country to be back on its feet. People are still trapped and missing. Loved ones have been lost and the whereabouts of many are unknown. There is a lack of food supply and people don’t have places to stay. Their homes have been destroyed, and several people now have nothing. Let’s give them something to hope for. Please Give. Courtesy of http://www.haititourisme.com/ |

This is a lesson that everyone should learn. Each of us probably believes we have been in love before and think we know exactly what love is; because we’ve felt it. We’ve hurt from it. We’ve spent nights crying ourselves to sleep curled up in a ball because we think that there is no one in the world but that one other person and we’re terrified of losing them. But, there is a difference between love and true love. Love should not be a sex driven act and it should contain no lies. I’m not here to preach to you, but I think the best way to explain love is like this: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.” - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Each sentence has its own importance. Starting with love is patient. These days it’s rare for a couple to wait until they’re married to have sex. Teenagers think that since everyone else is doing it, that it’s ok. Or they’re boyfriend or girlfriend is telling them anything they want to hear to get it. News flash! If they love you and respect you, they will wait for you. They have waited their entire life to be with you so they can wait a few more years and so can you! I know it’s hard, everyone wants it at some point but you have to be strong enough to know what is best for you and what you want. People will take advantage of you so be careful. Although, mistakes do happen and that’s ok! That’s when you have to pick yourself up and move on. The world doesn’t end; it’s still turning just as fast. Do you ever feel so happy that you want to shout it out to the world? That’s great if you have! But ‘Love is not proud’ doesn’t mean you can’t express it. It means this: If your boyfriend loves you he’s not going to tell his friends when he steals a new base. If he loves you he will be happy with what he has and do everything he can to make you feel great. Not only is love not boastful but it is also not selfish, or self-seeking. When you are in love you spend more time thinking about the other person and what they want and what makes them happy then constantly thinking about yourself. You will not push them to do things that they don’t want to do for your personal entertainment, no matter how much you want it. When I mentioned that people make mistakes I don’t only mean sex, or taking things a step, or even a jump, too far. I also mean cheating. One day you may find yourself in a situation where you slip up. You kiss a girl or boy or maybe even go all the way. Once this happens though… you can’t fix it. You can’t go back in time and change what you’ve done no matter how much it hurts. But if the love of your life really loves you, they will be able to forgive you. ‘It keeps no record of wrongs’. Grudges cannot be held in a relationship. The feeling will grow inside you until eventually you hate the person. You must be able to talk things out and let them go. But along with letting things go, you have to trust that the other person will not cheat on you again. That your boyfriend/girlfriend has learned from his or her mistakes. You need to feel protected in your relationship. Not just from other people, but from the person you’re dating as well. You need to know your boundaries and share them with the one you love so they know not to cross them. The last thing I have to say is to have fun! You’re young for crying out loud! So many teenage couples get so caught up in the relationship they’re in, that they can’t open their eyes and look at the big picture. The saying that there are several other fish in the sea is true, believe it or not. There are millions of them! You may think that there is no one else out there for you but there is. You’re going to end up with the person you’re supposed to be with. So don’t worry about losing someone, because if you do, then someone better will fall into your life. Don’t forget, your life has only just begun. |

Monday kicked off our Homecoming spirit week! It started off by having a spotlight day where everyone dressed in either red for taken, yellow for talking to someone , and green for absolutely single. Of course, there was a bit of fun with people (FaceBookers) wearing black instead, going anti-stoplight! Overall, it was a great way to start this amazing week! |
