since Apollo 17 in 1972. Artemis III is planning to launch around the middle of 2027. The

The Outsiders (pages 1-10)
The Outsiders (pages 1-10)
By Camille
Hello there. Today, I will be doing a short book review. Typically, kids read The Outsiders in 7th-8th grade, but I’m reading it in 5th grade. I started the book a few days ago, so I'm not that far into it, but here's what I know. There is a boy named Johnny/Ponyboy who was walking home from the movies and gets jumped by the opposite gang (the Socs ) and is beaten up. His brother and his gang (Greasers) rescue him. One of his older brothers is called Soda and is sixteen going on seventeen, and his other older brother is named Darry and is 20 years old. The boy’s parents died in an auto wreck, so Soda and Darry both work jobs. I started reading The Outsiders because it’s my mom's favorite book, and my cousin wouldn’t stop talking about it, so I decided to buy it. I really enjoy this book, and I hope you enjoy reading it too. Bye!

Right Back At You
Right Back At You
By Shreya
By Shreya
Right Back At You is about Mason, a boy who lives in the year New York, 2023, and Talia, a girl who lives in the year Pennsylvania, 1987. The story is about how Mason does a project assigned by his therapist: a letter to nobody. Mason chooses Albert Einstein and gets really personal in his letter. He throws it in his closet, and the next day, he gets a letter from Talia. Talia and Mason discover the cause is a wormhole in their closets that they can send letters through. They end up writing to each other almost all the time, and they find out they are facing similar problems with bullies, friends, family, and school. This book is about friendship, endurance, and sticking up for yourself.
I rate it 4 out of 5 stars because I wish that the author had told more about the characters’ lives and friends. I do not think Mason and Talia told each other everything because they knew another person was reading their letters, though I really think you should read the book!

Hi, it’s Simona, and today I will be talking about Roblox. Roblox is a virtual platform that consists of many games. It’s for ages 5 and above. There are a couple of games which might not be appropriate for younger kids, but luckily, there are parental restrictions so that parents can restrict games that might now be appropriate for your age level. Another thing is that whenever you are in a game, there is a chat. This chat allows you to talk to other players in your game. Now, if your parents don’t want you to talk to strangers, they can also restrict the chat so that you can’t see or write in the chat. The next thing we are going to talk about is your avatar. Roblox has a currency called Robux. You can use Robux to buy items to dress your avatar however you want. You can also write a little bio about yourself under your profile picture and name. Yes, you can name your avatar; it can be your real name or a made-up name. Finally, the last thing I want to discuss is adding friends. If you meet someone online and you want to be friends, you can send a friend request. If they agree, they will be added to your friends. This also means that if your friends play Roblox, you can friend them and play with them when they're online. That’s all I have to say for today. My next article will be about some of the most popular Roblox games.

The Death of the Pope:
Most people probably already know that Pope Francis passed away on April 21, 2025 in the Saint Martha house. The pope fell into a coma before having a stroke and heart failure. Pope Francis’s doctor said, “He died without suffering, at home.” On the Easter Sunday before he died, the pope had a brief visit with J. D. Vance, vice president of the United States of America.
Vance said, “[The pope] didn’t realize how sick he was.”Later that day, the pope made his last appearance in public on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, giving the Easter Blessing. In his lifetime, Pope Francis has been referred to as, “A pope for the people.” This is because he has visited those in poverty, supported and advocated for migrants, and met with gay and transgender activists. He was the first Latin American pope, and the first pope born outside the Americas. He will be remembered for his dedication to all people.
NFL Draft:

Ukraine reported 54 Russian drones launched overnight by Russia. Four people have died from these recent attacks.
