Field Dayyyy!!!!!!

Field Day

By Xandria & Adrianne

So, field day, it can be either be joyful or the worst day of your life. Now I mean falling off a scooter on your face in front of everyone during the race. I can imagine it now, my name on a tombstone, date of death: May 9,2014 and the cause....being drowned by water balloons or something like that. However, it's also pretty fun. In my experience, field day was enjoyable to see people fall on their face. No I'm kidding. Really, it's fun, you get to try all sort of different activities at a short amount of time. Like last year, there were water balloons involved, but I didn't get to try it. During field day, There are two activities one in the gym and then you rotate and transfer outside. So that's field day! Don't die!!

The Carnival Comes to Daly City

The Carnival Comes to Daly City

by Stephanie & Diane

There was a carnival at Daly City on the past 3 days. They usually come every year for 3 days, and usually are packed up with lots of fun, colors, and games. They actually have a new ride that is called the '' Freak Out ''. It was pretty scary and was the most frightening one of all. It seemed like a claw ride and was very colorful. Although there was a new ride, there were also the originals too. The Thriller was very very dizzy. It spins around in a circular form which also holds down the gravitational force, making it very hard to move as it pushes you down. I also remember going on the little candy swinging ride last year. they still had it this year, but even though it was a kiddy ride it was VERY scary for me.
One of the carnival originals was the ferris wheel which was pretty fast. The ride that really creeped me out was the Ring of Fire. It was very scary for my friend who says that she felt like she was going to fall off from the top of ride. For me I did not go this year, but my friend did. It was pretty scary last year and I also got a red snow cone which was very beautiful looking with all the red on the ice. My friend actually got a caramel apple, which I really wanted to taste once in my lifetime. The carnival was very fun and entertaining, I hope you could go to the carnival next year! Bye Bye

Chocolate FUNdraiser! by Cathernie

Chocolate  FUNdraiser!

Currently, T. R. Pollicita is having their most important fundraiser! We are selling World’s Finest Chocolate for a $1 each. This fundraiser will help raise the needed money for assemblies and end-of-the-year trips. This also helps the 8th graders’ Grad Dance, which is very much needed for them. So far, student government has collected about $2,000. This amount, right now, is not very good, since we need $4,000. At this point we will probably have no food for the Grad dance. So how are we gonna raise the other $2,000? Duh, all you need to do is sell! Us student government work our butts off, so just help us out with this fundraiser. SO PLEASE SELL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE !!!!!!!

The chocolate box has a total of 60 bars. That is not hard to sell. All you have to do is just walk around your neighborhood, with a friend or parent, and simply just SELL! And of course the best part of  fundraisers, PRIZES, is included. Every case you sell, you receive a cute, unique frog. There are many different designed frogs, which means you can trade with friends! I find that very fun and cool to do. Two more prizes they will receive, if they sell a case, is 100 Spirit Points and they get to be entered in the drawing for the Benihana Limo/Lunch prize! YUM. there will be 5 winners which is even better! The top seller gets a FREE SPIRIT TRIP TO SIX FLAGS!!!!!! I totally think it’s worth it. Right now, it looks like the student who is getting a free Six Flags trip is A.J. Ramos, who sold 6 boxes. She told me that. There are only 10 boxes left, and we’re trying to get rid of them ASAP. So, PLEASE sell & buy chocolates, since it is for a really good benefit.
