Quarantine 2

Honestly I really don't want to go back to school. I just want to see my friends and be able to go places without catching a virus, because I know if I go back to school I'm just going to regret having to do more work than virtual learning and take tests almost every other day.The fact that there's no school doesn't make it boring, it's the fact that you can't go nowhere makes it boring because everything is closed.But then I rather be going to school than do virtual learning because in virtual learning its very hard for me to understand a tasks like for example in math class, usually if I need help with something I could show my teacher which part I need help in but in Virtual learning I can't really explain what part I need help in so it makes things confusing for both the teachers and the students.yes there is some things I do miss some things about school like When me and my friends always do a Tik-Tok before lunch.I miss being able to dance with her.Hopefully we can resume the year.--sarah delhomme

¨I think no one saw all these new changes coming our way.We were excited to miss a few days of school but next thing we knew we had our whole year canceled,we are doing online school and many memories and moments were forever lost.Even though we have gone through many changes we must remember that we are still very lucky that we are safe and in good health.We must also have hope for the best and hope for the greater good for other people, and don't forget to spread positivity to everyone especially in these hard times.¨

Dear 8th graders,

This was our year. We were the kings and queens of Okeeheelee and it may seem like our year was ruined, but we still made so many good memories that we will forever cherish. I know we didn't get to say goodbye (there's still some hope we can), but if we don't just remember we made the best out of the time we had. We are starting a new Chapter in our lives without fully getting to close the other one. This new chapter is going to be filled with great memories and some bad ones, but it will all work out. Just think we could be HS seniors right now and it really would be goodbye forever. We made good friends throughout the years and some of us will be going our separate ways, but we won’t forget the memories we made. As much as some of us couldn't wait to get out of middle school I'm sure this is not how we wanted it to end. There is a bright side to it all! Right now staying home could be saving so many people's lives. At the moment it kind of seems like the world has stopped, but it's still moving and in about two months our 8th grade year will be over. We will officially be highschoolers, how crazy is that? When middle school started I was told it was going to seem like my whole life and sometimes it did, but then I would remember this would all over in a couple years and now a couple months. To those of you who will be going separate ways I hope highschool treats you well and you can make a bunch of new happy memories. If this is goodbye I’m ok with that because we had a great time while it lasted. Goodbye class of 2020.

Useful Things to Do During this Quarintine!

We are all in the same boat, so what can we do to keep ourselves occupied?

By Schelsy Pierre Louis

1. Try growing fruit (inside your home): It’ll probably die in a few days but at least you tried.

2.Go on youtube and learn something new: I learned how to disassemble and assemble a tv

3.Talk to your family: I'm not speaking to mine, but go ahead

4.Create a spotify playlist with new music: I just finished Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 album and started ZUU by Denzel Curry.

5.Make new friends online: I made a new friend on snapchat from our school.

6.Talk to relatives that don’t live near you: I facetimed my family up in Jersey.

7.Connect with your school friends through text: I only have 10 to text but you probably have more.

8.If you don’t have ur friends phone numbers: Create a shared google docs: It’s kind of like a groupchat.

9.Take a shower: It keeps u fresh and you probably need it

10.If you have a dog (or a cat) play catch with it: I don't have a dog but I do have 2 brothers..
