This is my restaurant review.

by Kamryn Hakert

For my restaurant review I reviewed Chick-fil-A. I got an eight piece grilled nugget with a chicken noodle soup and lemonade for the drink

I will be rating the food on if it is still warm from the drive home,how it tastes, and how it was packaged. I started with reviewing the chicken here’s what I thought of it: the chicken was pretty warm. I would probably give it a six or seven out of ten judging on how warm it was. The taste was very good. I ate it with ranch but even if you did not eat it with any sauce it would still be very good. For taste I would probably give it an eight and a half out of ten.

Now let’s review the chicken noodle soup: the soup was very warm I would probably give it a nine and a half out of ten. When I tasted the soup it was not very salty but when I added a little bit of salt it was a great blend of spices,vegetables,and noodles. For the taste I give it a nine out of ten. For the last thing that I reviewed I reviewed the lemonade. It was very sweet but also not to sweet, and it had the right amount of ice in it. They also had it in a cup that would stop the ice from melting. Overall I think that chick-fil-A is a very good restaurant!

Mr. Shultz

By Kailey

Mr. Shultz is a very nice PE teacher i interviewed him some questions like this:

How long have you been teaching for?

10 years

Why did you choose to be a gym teacher?

My dad was a PE teacher and his classes were always fun and that had a lot of influence on me wanting to be one.

If you could be anything in the world for a job except a PE teacher what would you do and why?

I would be a Major League Baseball grounds keeper. You get to watch baseball everyday and get to work on an amazing field. Sounds fun!

What is your favorite work out or game to play?

Table tennis or Mountain biking.

Do you love working at summit and why?

Yes. The staff from associates to teachers to administrators are all great people. The kids bring energy to the building and make teaching this age rewarding.

Is it hard work to be a gym teacher?

The hardest part is finding activities that everyone can take part in and be interested in. There is a wide range of skills and experiences amongst our students so everyone’s interest vary greatly. Once you figure out activities that work for everyone, my job is pretty easy.

How would you describe your self?

Active. I always need to be doing something. I don’t “sit” well.
