There were many good and bad things that happened in 2017, but the thing I will remember the best is the info about the movies coming out next year. Movies like IT, The Dark Tower, and even A Series Of Unfortunate Events. Although I have known these for years and even tried out for some of them. I gotten info about this Video on YouTube that was a teaser trailer for ASOUE. I checked it. It was good. But this was two and a half years ago. Then six months later was the audition for it. I tried out, you know how it ended. Then there is It. I found out about the movie two summers ago and it was on YouTube when I found it and it was a

My 3rd movie of 2016 would be Captain America Civil War. This movie was really intense. It was about a group of friends that had a disagreement and fought about it. It was a good story about how much damage a small disagreement can do. I think this movie was really good. At number 2 I have suicide squad. This movie was about a group of criminals who were out to do good. This movie was a good story about how the were basically sent out to die. Everyone loved this movie and I personally did too. In the end things didn’t turn out so good.

Volume 3 Issue 14

My number one movie of 2016 is….Deadpool. This movie is hilarious and I know a whole bunch people who loved it. It is a good story about a man who was diagnosed with cancer and he let a man give him a treatment to cure it. What this results in is a very ugly invincible fighting machine. Although it was hilarious, it was very inappropriate.

laugh. The release of this movie is March 31,2017. My Top 5 anime By: Ana Karen Gonzalez-Avila

Picture of Levi (Attack on Titan) Kuro (servamp) and Karma (Assassination classroom) I am a huge fan of Japanese best art, Anime, I love anime so much that is why it took me so long to come up with a list, and this is my top 5 must watch anime. In number five comes in NanBaka. It’s about four boys trying to get out of jail. They have committed crimes and have been put in jail and break out again and again. But since they were well known they were sent to the most securest Jail in the world. They have the best lives inside Jail but try to get out any way for fun. They don’t know weather to stay or not but one thing is for sure they won’t give up even if they do decide to stay, and get captured cause the Jail is the most secure than other normal Jails. The main character was born inside Jail because of his dad and mother will he be able to remember his lost memories there? In number four comes Noragami. A war god named Yato does missions for people or he completes the task that people ask for. But he isn’t well known

Volume 3 Issue 14 so he is a poor god. One day he finds a girl named Yori and surprisingly she saved his life in which no other person could see Yato so everyone thinks she was insane at that point. So the effect of her saving him was weird she to became what we would call the dead. So she died but could return to her body. Yato can’t do anything without a weapon because he fights spirits, so in one dangerous night Yato finds the best weapon named Yukine, But can they return Yori to her normal state, or would she keep her promise to never forget them? In at number 3 comes Attack on Titan. Ya it me 2 days to watch 24 episodes each 25 minutes. This is about Titan they are abnormal things I can’t call them people because they are huge but they have body texture as a human except they have amazing strength. And so people get to choose if they want to risk their lives to save people and kill the titans. It is later discovered that the main character is to a Titan. Will he too be killed or will he serve a purpose to humanity? I can’t just explain this how good this Anime is although it is on my second but still it’s so good. In at second place comes Servamp. It’s about a boy named Mahiru who likes simple stuff and hates complicated stuff. So he found a cat lying around in a box in a dungeon kind of street, picked him up and named him Kuro meaning black in English. So on the next day coming back from school and finds a man. In the end they end up being a group a human controlling a vampire don’t see that every day. Abnormal seem to start happening and it all seems to come to the youngest brother of Kuro or Sleepy

ash. Will they be able to stop him or will Kuro’s past swallow him alive? And in number one… let’s wait till the end. This anime is my number one because it is funny and just teaches you daily life lessons. It’s about an alien destroying Earth’s moon. And then he becomes a teacher and throughout the year students needed to kill him before they graduate or he will destroy the world. This anime contains 2 season and both are worth to take time and see them. There are three main characters the unpredicted Kayano, the underestimated Nagisa, and of course the strongest and hottest (my opinion) boy in the class Karma Akabane. Yep it’s Assassination Classroom, I really love this anime and thus ends my list.

My top 5 Maddie Opal. My top 5 movies that I’ve watched in 2016's suicide squad which I really liked, and it was a really fun movie to watch with my friends. I’ve also watched the movie Light out which was a really scary movie, I screamed about four hundred times. Also I watched The Conjuring which was also super scary, but not as scary has Lights Out. I also watched the Jungle book but the

Volume 3 Issue 14 animated version, and I love that movie. I watched the movie Aladdin and that is one of my most favorite movies, and also the Lion King is one of my favorite.

Also I read a book called If I stay which was really good and I loved it.

Facebook is a great way to connect with people and see what they have been up to. I love to use Facebook. Snap chat is also one of my favorites because I get to post things on my story easier than I can post them on fb and people get to see what I am up to. Snap chat is a great way to connect with others. People you are not friends with will not see your stories unless you make your public. I also get to talk to people and you can make group chats now and talk to friends. Snap chat is a fun app. Add me @shaelyn72 My last favorite app is Instagram bc there is a lot of tumbler cute pictures on there and you can dm people and talk to them. You get to see what people you post, and I like how you can make your account private. People make accounts and post funny things to. I love to follow a lot of different pages, that way I have a much more interesting feed. Go follow me @shae.rocha Top 3 movies of the year. Collin McIntosh.

My top 3 favorite apps By: Shaelyn Rocha

My top 3 favorite things from 2016 is Facebook, snap chat, and Instagram. Facebook is one of my favorites because I love to see drama. Also I get to see a bunch of funny and interesting post, and I can share them with my friends.

The top 3 movies of the year. Number 3 on my list is Lights out. This is a horror movie about a demonic thing can only be in the dark. It hunts a lot of people and kills a lot of them. A Lot of people are scared because of it. My second movie is Deadpool. This man had cancer and he got cured. But so did

Volume 3 Issue 14 everything else and he can never die. He went after the man that did it do him and he told him he can never be fixed. And he looked really bad but the girl he was with still loved him no matter what. The 1st movie is Suicide Squad. A Lot of bad things have been happening so a woman creates a team of villains. One of them tries to leave and he gets killed. They go through a lot and come together. My favorite character was Diablo and he sacrificed his life for the others. My top 3 apps for 2016 By Melanie Martinez

COUNCIL BLUFFS- My third most used app is Instagram. I don’t use this as much or everyday like the others but I do use this over any other app. It is almost like Facebook. All I do is like people stuff, change my theme, and post pictures. Right now my theme is just white background. I have a spam account as well where I post memes, stuff I relate too, and pictures that don’t fit my Instagram theme. (Follow my main Instagram @melanie.088 and follow my spam @melaniee.spaamm)

My second most used app for 2016 was Snap chat. Along with Facebook I used this app everyday. The reason why I used this app everyday was

because I had streaks. Streaks is when you snap chat a person everyday and get a streak of days. I had over 60 streaks with people ranging from 3 days all the way up to 100 days. I said ‘had’ because I lost them. (except two and I don’t know how or why) My lovely mother took my iPod for a day and I could not snap chat them one day and I lost them. Now that I have my iPod back I hope to get them back again by snap chatting the people everyday. (Add me on snap chat: scan my code up there or add me by username @ melanie_mart) Ending with Facebook/Messenger. Above is my screenshot of my Facebook app and Messenger app. As you can see I don’t like answering people. I answer some people not all. I only answer if you’re my family or I care about you. What I do like is scrolling through everyone's drama. On Facebook all I do is change my profile picture, like my friends stuff, and read/scroll through everything. I used this app(s) almost everyday. (Friend me on Facebook: @ Melanie Martinez) My top things that I like doing By Nolan Grego

My top 3 games I like playing on ps4. Is Gta5 because you can shoot guns and buy vehicles. And Call of duty black ops 3 because you can buy cod points with real money and there is a price and because there is hero gear. and dark matter. Also there is supply drops. And

Volume 3 Issue 14 my last favorite game that I like playing is Rainbow6 Siege because it is realistic with barricades and windows with breach charges and I am level 116 and on black ops 3 I am like level 289. Also my favorite songs is Rainbow6 Siege songs like Rainbows in the dark. And there is another song named bullet train. Why do I like this music because it gives beat to rainbow six siege. And the music makes sense to the game. Next are my favorite movies and shows that I like watching. My first is family guy because Peter and Stewie are the most funniest. And my 2nd is American dad because Stan Roger and Steve are more funny because they say weird things. And my favorite vacations are Hawaii why because I have been there for 9 days. And Adventureland because there is roller coasters and cotton candy. Also I have been to worlds of fun and ocean of fun and it is awesome. My Top 3 Moment of 2k16 Kilee Wittwer

COUNCIL BLUFFS- My very top moment of 2016 was hitting a homerun at my last softball game. I know you think a home run isn’t that hard to hit which I agree, but the score was 8-9 and the bases were loaded so I stepped up to the plate and got one strike. On my second swing I hit the ball! I was in shock because of far it

went, I forgot to run!! I just stood there. The feeling of so many people being proud of is so great! I would definitely relive that moment if I got the chance. My second top moment was my cousin Finleigh being born. I love her so much! She looks exactly like me! She’s also left handed like me. She could pull off as my sister better than my real ones could. Haha! My third top is when I got to go to the Justin Bieber concert with my older sister. We also went to Jack & Jack, and 5SOS. We love concerts. We also might be going to Shawn

By: Clayton.G Top 5 video games that came out 2016… Oh and it's my opinion, ok where do I start… Oh yea and also I am going to list 5 being ok and 1 being to impressive My #5 would probably be NBA 2k17. I say this because nothing in the game has really changed but the graphics. Like the shooting meter, this has been a thing since NBA 2k15. The only thing they did to it was make it better graphic wise. EA has kept the career gameplay the same thing for a long time. I think if they changed their other game modes they have, it would make the game better. And now this was last year but I would not be surprised if

Volume 3 Issue 14 they do it again, but them making 99 OVR players, and maxing out all their stats. #4 would be Far Cry Primal. I personally don’t like what setting they did this year, I am more of an Guns, vehicles, explosions, and fun type of Far Cry. Although I really did like the gameplay, it was really fun to watch and play and it really makes you feel like you are back in the stone age. And I will add one more thing I like about it, I like the pet system. You can train wild animals to be your pet and help you. I really hope that will happen in the new one. #3 would be Gears Of War 4. I have always been a Gears Of War fan that is all I use play on Xbox 360. I have not actually played the game but I watched other people play the game, and I think The Coalition did a really good job on this years Gears Of War. And I can not wait to play the campaign and play multiplayer on Gears of War 4. #2 would be Call of Duty Infinite Warfare. I have seen many people play this game and I can even explain how good it looks and how good it is. I like how they try to make the guns even better every game they come out with. And they are doing really good and they need to make a better Call of Duty. #1 would be Watch Dogs 2. I watched and played Watch Dogs many of times and enjoyed playing it. It is a game I would really play all day. And now that they have came out with Watch Dogs 2 everything seems 2x better. I like how they added some stuff with the hacking, how you can hack cars now,

you can hack other people's phone, so they just improved the hacking. I also like that you can have drones now it will help you out in missions. Top 5 video games of 2016 By Thomas Greenwood

#5 Black Ops 3 Black ops 3 was the best game ever in 2016 because of the new guns. They added classified to black ops 3 and then everyone had to have it. People Also play the awesome zombie maps like Shadows of evil people like it because of the swords. #4 GTA 5 This is an action kind of game you can do a lot of things. You are a gang member and you can do missions to get money and stuff. Most of the missions are shooting people or running from cops. #3 Advanced Warfare The game is kind of unique it is like Black Ops 3 but yet different. You have A exo suit with it u can jump higher And punch harder.You also get new weapons and they based BO3 off of this game because of the jumping. #2 Far Cry 4 You are a hero in this game you protect the villages from animals and hostiles. You can skin the animas and craft items with the skin. You can pick stuff up and sell items you have collected to sell and trade for guns.

Volume 3 Issue 14 #1 Far Cry Primal People like this new game because the game is basically caveman. You are a person who can craft weapons and fight people. So you are taking the spot of Adam and eve by creating civilization. My Top 5 of 2016 BY: Mackenzie Hiers

The 5 books that I have red in 2016 are #5 Heaven looks a lot like a mall because it is real good and I like reading plus it is a book that is in verse so I never want to stop reading those kinds of book because they are so fun and easy for me to read the #4 book is the bridge from me to you because it is about a girl moving from a big city to a small town because she has problems with her mother and her brother got taken away from them cause the mom was a bad mother #3 Stop pretending what happened it’s about a girl and her family she does not fit in plus her sister went crazy after something that happened on new years and now she has been put in a hospital so she does not hurt anyone like her family and friends #2 May B its about a girl name may that is stranded in a beat down house in the middle of nowhere because when winter is right around the corner because the people she was helping disappeared without her and last but not least #1 Out of the dust it is one of my favorite book I have red it a thousand times it’s about a girl named Billie Jo and her mom and brother died in a fire because her dad put

gasoline by the stove and her mom was cooking now her dad does everything her mom wanted after she died so it would make her happy. The top 5 songs I have listen to in 2016 are #5 Scars to you beautiful I really like this song because it shows that you just need to be you if someone judges you that is their problem not your because you are just being you and loving who you are and what you do #4 Closer by the chainsmokers I like this song because it is a upbeat song and you can always dance and sing to it when you're in the car with friends or family and even when you're on a road trip and now on to #3 anything by Twenty One Pilots because I really like their music I listen to it all the time in my free time or even at school when I’m bored or doing my school work #2 Shawn Mendes music because I like and know all of his songs and plus his songs are really good to listen to when your bored or just like slow but sometimes upbeat music and finally #1 My favorite song of 2016 is holes in the floor of heaven because when my great grandma died we play that song for her every year or every time we have family get together and also on holidays.

Volume 3 Issue 14 Top 5 Netflix shows Ellie Perrine

My fifth favorite show on Netflix Criminal minds. Criminal minds is basically a series about the FBI hunting down serial killers and other highly wanted criminals/terrorists. I ranked this as my number 5 because there are 13 seasons, it can get kind of repetitive after a while, and all my favorite characters left. But Most of the episodes are really interesting, and every episode is a different case, so it’s easy to skip over certain episodes if you get bored. My 4th favorite show is Grey’s anatomy. Grey's anatomy is a medical show, with relationships and drama and stuff like that. I like it because it can be very funny, and some of the medical stories are interesting. It can get a little boring during times. But I still really like it and the characters. My 3rd favorite show is Pretty Little Liars. It’ s a drama about some anonymous person who is terrorizing these 5 teenagers lives. The person sabotages them in different ways. In one of my favorite episodes “ A” the anonymous person kidnapped the girls and put them in this life size dollhouse. It was really creepy and I like it a lot because there are so many unexpected twists and turns throughout the episodes. I cannot wait for the next season to come out , I finished the first 5 seasons in less than 2 weeks.

My 2nd favorite show is Switched at Birth. It’s about two girls who were switched at birth, one girl from a very rich family, and the other one from a family who doesn’t have as much money. One of the daughters Daphne is deaf. Watching the show I picked up a lot of sign language, and it kind of goes through the journey of these families dealing with the switch, and each family getting to know the other, for the sake of the girls. It has a lot of high school drama and other stuff like that. My top favorite show is Vampire diaries. At first I thought it would be another version of twilight. But I really liked it. It’s basically about a normal teenage girl Elena who falls in love with a vampire named Stefan who you find out are destined to be together, but she ends up falling in love with Stefan's brother Damon, and it’s one whole big love triangle. Along with other supernatural beings. There are a lot of twists and turns that keep the show really interesting. Top 6 Grand Prix Finalists! (Yuri!!! On Ice) Jami Murray - January 2017

Picture of all Grand Prix Finalists, farthest to the left is Yuuri Katsuki.

Yuri!!! On Ice is an anime about figure skaters Yuuri Katsuki, Yuri Plisetsky, and so many others who go to events for skating and compete in competitions. Retired skater Viktor

Volume 3 Issue 14 Nikiforov sees a video of Yuuri Katsuki skating Viktor’s routine and decides to become Yuri’s coach. The anime is about love and the struggles they go through, now I am going to list my top six Grand Prix finalists of Yuri!!! On Ice. Coming in at #6 on our list is Jean-Jacques Leroy otherwise known as J.J., he comes from a figure skating family. J.J. is Canadian. He has a worldfamous band and has a song called “Theme Of King J.J.” and uses it in all his competitions. J.J. comes in at #6 because, personally he seems very full of himself, but maybe that’s just me. Next at #5 we have Christophe Giacometti, Chris is 25 years old and from Switzerland, Chris loves to figure skate, Chris is also self-confident. Chris doesn’t really care what people think of him and is known to be brave, he is also 6’ft. Chris comes in on #5 because we don’t get to know him very much, because he is introduced in about the last three episodes of the first season. At #4 we have Phichit Chulanont, he is from Thailand and is 20 years old, 5’5ft tall and also loves skating. He has dark hair and dark eyes. He has tan skin he also was introduced in episode four so he has a bit of screentime so that’s why he comes in at number four. Closing in on #1 we are here with #3! And number three is Otabek Altin. Otabek is 18 and from Kazakhstan. He was introduced in episode one and that’s why he is up in the top three, he’s been here along the ride with Yuuri and Viktor and the others who came in on episode one or some of the first episodes.

We’ve made it to #2 and in that spot we have…..Yuuri Katsuki! Yuuri is one of the main characters of Yuri!!! On Ice, he wears glasses but when he skates he wears contacts. His coach is Viktor Nikiforov, after seeing Yuuri skating Viktor’s routine he decided to become his coach. Yuuri likes pork cutlet bowls and has a big fan base back in Japan. We’ve made it to #1! Now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for, in number one we have…..Yuri Plisetsky! Yuri is in number one because he is always grumpy and needs some love, everyone loves him but he needs all the love he can get, Yuri is also my favorite aside from Viktor but he’s not on this list sadly...Yuri is nicknamed “Yurio” because there is two as you can tell. Yurio is from Russia, age 15, blonde and grumpy 24/7. See you all next week!

Top favorite movies of 2016 by :Sylvia house:

My 3rd movie of 2016 would be the jungle book. This movie was OK because, the kid wasn't my favorite because he would just be dumb at his act. The movie was also a little bit too much animating in it especially when the

Volume 3 Issue 14 little kid would go and light the forest on fire. My 2nd movie of 2016 would be Moana because the “princess” would go out on an adventure and I think that’s cool . also there's a man with a huge knife and that's even more cooler and she believes she can achieve anything when she puts her mind to it . My number 1 favorite movie of 2016 would be finding dory . this movie is my favorite because Dorys hilarious and she has a whale buddy and she just wants to find something she doesn't think about a plan or anything she just goes for it and that's what I like “don't think, just do” and I love doing that. Top 5 by. Jared Haxton

because they save the little boy fro the fairy. My number 2 is Scary Movie. This wasn’t made in 2016 but I added it anyway because it is my favorite movie. If you don’t know what scary movie is it is a comedy/scary movie that makes fun of or parodys them but makes them funny. There's sequels scary movie 1,2,3,4,5 and their all funny. It also makes fun of the movies in lots of creative ways. My favorite movie of 2016 is Split. It is about a man that is a schizophrenic and kidnaps some people and they have to escape his house. The only one that can help them is one of his personality a 7 year old that don't like them being hurt. The other identity wants them all to die. But they barely escape and live happily ever after. By Brayden Nelson

My top 3 movies of 2016 are darkness falls at 5 because it has a very good storyline that makes sense but isn't confusing. Also very good editing in the movie like the tooth fairy's cloths and face. Also it looks very looks very really real like with the tooth fairy's dress and when she's climbing on the walls and flying around. I also like it because the man clears his name and people stop thinking he killed his mom. I also like it

My top 5 Video games and consoles for 2016 are my ps4 I got it for Christmas but I wasn't able to use it until 2016 because I was grounded, Minecraft I got it in 2016 on accident by the Playstation store I love Minecraft this game is one of my favorite games because I like to build like I went to build Pikachu but I ran out of whole so I used gold :) what would you use?

My top 3 favorites of 2016 By Kelsie Anderson

My third favorite is the show this is us because I like where the son is taking care of his dad that he found after many years that left him at a fire station which I think is a good show. My second favorite is the song closer because I believe it’s a fun song to listen to and I recommend that you listen to it also. My first favorite is the movie called Hacksaw where he chooses to not go to war with a gun and instead be a medic in which he ended up saving 75 people from dying. The top 3 movies of 2016 By : Lindsy Larkowski

One of the movie that I saw was Fried Green Tomato’s. I thought it was really cool. The movie FGT was really funny I laugh a lot while I was watching it. The movie is about 2 sisters who get their life all situated then they settle down and open a restaurant named Whistle Stop Cafe. While they are working in the restaurant a woman is making fried green tomatos. I really like the movie I recommend that people that

Volume 3 Issue 14 like funny but sad movies they should watch it. My 2nd favorite movie is The Maze Runner (Scorch Trials). The reason that I like this movie is cause I like scary movies. One part of the movie is where they run away but then they go to this place. The place is vacant but little do they know that the place is full of cranks which are kind of like zombies. The movie has a sad ending one of the maze runner’s get captured. My 3rd favorite movie is Zootopia. The reason that I like this movie is because it was really cute. One part of the movie is where the wolf pretends to be shot with the blue ooze. Then the rabbit pretends to be really scared. Then the lamb is like why you aren’t attacking the rabbit you stupid dumb fox. Top 5 games of 2016

graphics made it super fun and refreshing. My number 3 game would be Battlefield 1 it was very different kind of battlefield game that was very refreshing and fun to play. Also the war stories were pretty good they were fun to play as well. The multiplayer was amazing and full of awesome moments that I will always remember. My number 2 game would be Cod 4 Remastered with all the new features Raven added it made an already great game into an even better one except for the supply drops of coarse. But my favorite game of the year is definitely forza horizon 3. For a person that loves cars this is the perfect game to pay. It has over 300 cars and a huge map that has so much stuff to do. It has so many races and they're all different. Also a whole new map just dropped which is called blizzard mountain. It has a bunch of mountains and is super snowy. You can also download other peoples paint jobs or create your own so you can have basically any paint job you want.

There were a lot of good even great games during 2016 but my personal favorite were.

The story was simply amazing it was super funny and the characters were awesome. My number 4 game would have to be Skyrim special edition. Even though it was a remaster the mods and enhanced

The third game on my list is Horizon Zero Dawn. This game is about a girl who was abandoned by her mother in the world 2000 years from now. She was raised by a man from the village and

One of the top toys for 2016 is Hatchimals. They’re a robotic creates that arrives in an egg, and hatches by themselves. They’re unusual because they hatch one time only. It’s unknown when it will hatch because the child has to take care of it in order for it to hatch. Playing with it for awhile will make it change colors, then the hatching will begin. In order for it to change from a baby to a toddler you need to pat, tilt and talk to it. The final stage of the Hatchimal offers interactional games ranging from single players to double player’s games of singing and dancing. . Hot wheels Ai was another top toy in 2016. It features two smart cars, controllers and many pieces of smart tracks. The controllers features a voice that gives step by step instructions on

Volume 3 Issue 14 how to set up the track, and it also announces the races. It has three different mode that can be played, There is a RC, championship and practice race mode.

Looking at 2016 and 2017 By Jesus Mntenegro

The movie I really liked of 2016 was Lights out or the Conjuring 2. I really like scary movies but I went with my friends to see the Conjuring 2 but I seen lights out in Mexico and I really didn’t like how it was in Spanish but I really thought that movie was really good! My favorite Tech Gadgets of 2016 was a hoverboard, the hoverboard is really fun to ride but you can sometimes fall while you're using it I feel like a couple times and scraped my knee. My favorite T.V show in 2016 was The Fosters. The Fosters is on Netflix’s and once I was done with all 4 seasons I was really sad because that show is really good! There's another season coming up on January 31st and I can’t wait to see it. This year there’s 3 movies I really want to go see the 1 one is “The Bye Bye Man” and it’s coming out January 13, I don’t really remember the other ones but I seen the trailers and the seem pretty good. My favorite vacation of 2016 was the one when I went to Cancun. Cancun was super fun but the bad this about Cancun is how my whole family got sun burn, we could not sleep or lay down. We went to swim with dolphins and we went scuba diving. We also went to this island called Isla Mujeres the water there is so pretty it really clear and the sand is really soft its like baby powder.

The thing that I want to change in 2017 is weight because when it was 2016 I wanted to do the same. I thought myself that I would stop eating so much junk food, but that didn't work. In 2017 I have not brought any kind of junk food but I think I can beat my goal. My other goal is to get better grades because in 2016 I did not have very good grades and I always tell myself that I'm going to change them and get better grade but everything I try I get too lazy. My favorite memory from 2016 is when I was playing soccer for this team and it was 4 to 4 we were tie and we only have 5 mins left the other team was older then us by 2 year us all my teammates were 14-12. The other team was like 17-16 it was are ball one of my teammates pass the ball to me. I scored from my half line and the ball looked like it was going out then it turn fast in too the goal. My other memory from 2016 is when we all as a family went to worlds of fun cause other years one of my brother would have to stay for work. But this year in 2016 he did not have as much work and he had sometime to go. He went and it was so fun we got on all the rides it was funnier then ever and we're thinking about doing that on 2017 and can't wait. My Christmas was not as great like other people because I was in Mexico when it

Volume 3 Issue 14 was Christmas. In Mexico they celebrate Christmas in January 6 so that day. I got up like nothing the next day is when I found out that yesterday was Christmas. So that day they did a bonfire for something special but I was not listening when they said that so that was my Christmas. Weirdest laws of 2016/2017. Willow Savage

2016 was a bit of a mess, to put the year lightly. This whole country seemed to divide over little things and chaos was rampant. So let's count down five of the weirdest laws that still exist (at least up to 2016, though some may still be law). In Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache in church, if it causes laughter. Of course, unfunny fake mustaches are fully legal, but who decides if it's funny or not? Does it just have to be unrealistic, or does church staff decide. Or do they need the police involved to decide? In Florida, if you happen to be taking your pet elephant for a walk, don’t tie it to a parking meter, you’ll get a ticket. If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the fee has to be paid as if it was a vehicle. I’m not too sure who left their elephant tied to one in the first place, but I guess this law is useful somehow.

I hope you aren't planning explosion via golf ball, because that's also against the law in Massachusetts That’s right, any golf ball containing a substance causing it to explode is against the law. Sorry, whatever pyromaniac golfer is responsible for this. If you plan on loading up your fishes talk with some good alcohol, don’t. At least, not if you live in Ohio. Ohio law states that it is illegal to get a fish drunk. So shut down those mad fish parties, fish owners, less you want trouble with the law. And finally, you might want to fix your valentine's day plans, and stay small, because in Idaho, it is illegal for you to give your special other a box of chocolates weighing over 50 pounds. I don’t know whets so bad about that, other than maybe that much candy might give you diabetes, but...Don’t do it. Best Favorite things in 2016 By Maria Perez

One of my 2016 favorite T.V. show is telenovelas. Telenovelas are A life lesson and it teaches you what to do and what not to do. I always watch la rosa de guadalupe. La rosa de Guadalupe there is a new episode everyday and they tell you different things eveyday.One day they did bulling ,I remember that we are learning that at school. Another of my favorite 2016 book is the book Everything,

Volume 3 Issue 14 Everything. This book is really good because it about a 17 year girl that can’t come out of her house because if she comes out of her house she can die. This girl dreams of coming out of her house. She had a dad he die and so did her brother so it’s just her mom and her. Madeline meets a boy named Oliver, she doesn’t know him until months later. Last of my favorite 2016 was my vacation to Mexico. I loved that vacation because I got to see my grandparents for the second time. Some reasons is because I got to get together with my dad’s family. Last reason is because I got to see different places I have never been to. One of those places is to Purisima I went there but I love going there. If you ever go to Mexico you should go there.
