“I started playing basketball at the start of Grade 8. I was introduced to this sport by my friends. They encouraged me to play with them but I didn’t feel like it at first. As I got used to it, the more I wanted to play and now it’s one of my favorite sport. What I am excited for 9th grade is that we get more freedom, as in, we can be more independent. This is a good thing for me because I want to know how it feels like having all that freedom current 9th graders have been b

March 8 is usually known as International Women’s Day. This year was was a little different. Women from all around the world showed up in the streets protesting against gender inequalities. The movement started in Spain in the morning when all the female workers who would have been working at that moment left their warm homes and offices and they filled the freezing streets of Madrid and Barcelona and many other cities in Spain. They announced a 24-hour strike to create chang

Look around you, fellow Middle Schoolers. What do you notice? Other than the difference in lighting and the smell of new paint – signs of change and renovation. Not the new additions to the kiosks, however delicious they are (those Señor Pepitos and Chocos should win an award for ‘Best Food Items of 2018’, don’t you agree?). Do you see the promoting posters? No – I don’t mean the visiting authors, the new clubs, or the celebrations coming up (but the Pancake Breakfast does so

‘BOOM!’ There’s a rattle with the impact of Hulk landing on the ground. Except it isn’t a superhuman. It’s… A Trend. Fidget spinners, hoverboards (unfortunately, not the ones on Subway Surfers. That’d be awesome though. Wait a minute… Subway Surfers was also a trend too!), silly bands, memes, slime… Remember those times, when your friends secretly hid the trendy gadget under the tables in class, avoiding the teacher’s eyes as much as possible? The leap of your heart with desi

As a new student, maybe it was my imagination, but today it seemed that the assembly was an embarrassment — the attention was not given to the teachers and the behaviour was unlike anything the middle school teachers have seen before. Many people were having chats while the teachers were talking, and there were many occasions when a teacher had to ask a student to stop what they were doing. It reached to one point that one of the teachers, Ms Henderson, had to stop the assemb

Ever found yourself staring at the clock at the end of the day, waiting for it to turn to 3:35. The time is 3:33 and your feet are tapping rapidly waiting for the bell. Your teacher’s voice is droning on, but all you can hear is the sound of the clock ticking every second. Well, now that only happens four out of the five days of the school week. Instead of the three in-service days throughout the whole year, every Wednesday school ends at 2:30. We did the math and it and when

April was Autism Acceptance month! I’m here to tell you some basic facts to hopefully grow your knowledge! Keep in mind that Autism is a different ability, not a disability. First, it is important to understand that autism comes in many different forms. Some traits include: inappropriate social interaction, learning disability or speech delay in a child, intense interest in a limited number of thing, speech disorder and sensitivity to sound. Because it’s different for each pe

Friday Night Lights was held on- you guessed it: Friday. While you may be that smart to figure that out, I had a hard time understanding what was going on. After all, it was the first time I had been to Friday Night Lights. As those of you who already know me, I am generally known to be clueless. No kidding, ask any of my friends. I can imagine you might know how crazy this article can be by now. But by all means, you don’t have to read it. To begin with, I was playing with t

The most recent social was Oscar-themed and well-planned. However, there was a problem, one that has been occurring for years now: the absence of eighth graders. Although that could be blamed on the volleyball and tennis tournaments that had many students traveling and away from Delhi, we think the problem is a lot bigger. Now you could be saying that it doesn’t really matter that a few eighth graders aren’t coming to the social.  But I tell you, this problem is much bigger t
