Stressing Out?

The state tests are on April 30th, and most people here are very stressed. if you just relax, study, and eat well, you might do well! here are some tips to help you out:


  • Don't be nervous! 
  • Try listening to relaxing music when you are about to go to sleep.
  • Try eating small snacks like almonds, blueberries, and cornflakes.
  • Take a shower at night or the day before.
When your taking the test:

  • Get to know the test first.
  • Prepare overtime, spend about an hour and a half on studying equal amounts of the subjects.
  • Learn from your mistakes, be sure to study the parts you have the most difficulty with.

Ultimate Frisbee

Ultimate Frisbee is a fast paced sport in which two teams compete for the control of a flying disc. It is a legitimate sport that is mostly seen within college athletics, as well as in a few high schools. There is no Ultimate Frisbee competition within Firebaugh, but there may be a few hidden players in the school. "Where?", you may ask. Surprisingly, there are a few passionate players within the teachers. Yes, TEACHERS! Mr.Kang (a physics/chemistry teacher) has been playing Ultimate Frisbee for years, and he's willing to play the sport with students who are interested. For those who aren't interested, he will stay persistent and will try to change their minds by teaching them a few tricks (I personally suck at throwing the Frisbee, but it's still fun to try).

Are any of these players pushing for a team? Not exactly, but if enough students would organize then maybe a team outside of school can be formed. Until then, this sport is purely for fun. For those of you who miss PE (but do not miss the mile) this can be a great opportunity. Mr.Kang is contemplating the idea of playing after school with students, and perhaps it will become a part of his weightlifting club (Yes, there is a weightlifting club. There will be more details later.). Until then this teacher is happy to accept any students interested in the sport.
The Frisbees will soar through the sky, and the wind will continue to chase after it. (A little poetry won't hurt anyone.)

Impress with the Art?

Interviewed: Crystal Castillo

Did you work alone or was it a group project?
I worked with a group. It was four in total, but got help from others to set it outside because I'm too short to reach up in the trees, and so were my group members.

What is this project for?
This project is for my photography class its called "Claes Oldenburg Sculptures" project. My group and I created a spider to photograph it.

How long did it take to make? What materials did your group chose to work with?
I don't recall how long did it exactly take, but I say about 3 weeks to finish everything. We used tape, cardboard for the gas two pillows, cloth, stapler, scissors, thread and a needle, construction paper, wood glue, newspaper and latex.


Obviously, there's more to see!
