I’m Mac from Macadamia Nut News and I asked students around my school what their thoughts were on school lunch. Most of them said they utterly hated it and thought it was terrible, one of my friends Brett, said that the only thing he liked was the chicken nuggets. There was one person I asked who thought it was fine, Lindsay. She was really the only person who said they liked it.

Now in my eyes only some of the lunches are okay. The drumsticks and tomato soup is okay but the rest is a no-no from me. Like the pizza days are the worst days to be buying because the pizza really isn’t good at all. The thing is though is that most of the time I’m packing and I don’t have to experience the school lunch when it comes time. I  1`my nephew Bentley what his thoughts were on his school lunch, he said that it was disgusting and that the food he had today should’ve been cooked longer.

That was my news report from Macadamia Nut News, the overall consensus was that school lunch is bad. Now I want you to tell me what your views on your school lunch is. Is it good? Is it bad? What do you think they could do better? Anyway that’s all I have to say, just remember traveler, be nice to all you meet! Mac signing out!

McDowell supports many sports such as wrestling and basketball in the winter. Wrestling is a sport in the winter that McDowell supports. The sport of wrestling is a physical sport. Wrestling originated in Greece. Also wrestling is in the epic Iliad and is in the Olympic games. Wrestling is one of the oldest forms of combat. Wrestling  was also a way to teach soldiers hand to hand combat. The main point in wrestling is to hold  your opponent on their back untill the referee to smack the mat.

Let’s talk about the sport basketball. The point of basketball I to out score the other team by making baskets. The sport basketball originated in Springfield Massachusetts U.S. by a man named James Naismith. Earl Lloyd was the first African American basketball player. In 1891 people used wicker baskets as the hoop and a soccer ball as the ball so it was pretty different back then.

So now that I have told you about history of wrestling and basketball please come visit my site at gavinle2025.edublogs.org.

     You get a phone call, school is officially off for a snow day.Getting days off school for snow days are fun, but sometimes it can be boring and hard to find fun things to do. Here are 5 fun outdoor boredom busters for a snowy day.

•  Go Sledding :Have some hills at your house? Go sledding! If you don’t have anywhere to sled at your house to see if there are any places for tubing around you. Or visit a grandparents house where you could go sledding.

 

• Have a snowball fight:Snowball fights are fun for people of all ages. You can even build a snow fort to hide behind!

 

• Make a snow sculptor:You could build a snowman! Or a snow castle or even a dragon! This is fun for everyone, including adults. Who says you have to make a snowman, one of my friends parents once made a snow horse that we all took turns sitting on. 

 

• Build a snow fort:These can be great places to hang out in, away from the wind. Or just a shelter from flying snowballs.

 

• Visit a local ice skating rink:If you live close to an ice skating rink I would suggest going. Ice skating is very fun whether you visit an indoor or outdoor rink. 

       Whether you get out of school for a snow day, or the windchill is to low you might rather spend your time indoors rather than out. Here are 6 fun ideas to try indoors on a snow day!

 

•      Make snow ice cream:What’s better than homemade ice cream? Nothing, that’s what. Snow ice cream is an easy to make ice cream that’s made from ( you guessed it) snow, and tastes delicious!

 

• Play card and board games:Speed, Clue, Life, Monopoly, Mastermind. Those are just a few fun games that you could play to bid time on snow days.

 

• Read or write:What’s better than catching up on reading on a cold day? If you have an AR goal, reading on a snow day is a good way to accumulate AR points so you won’t have to worry about how many points you have later.Writing can also be a good way to get your creativity going on a lazy day.

 

• Watch Netflix or other movies:Watching movies is a cozy way to stay warm indoors. You could catch up on a series you are watching on Netflix or Hulu, or just watch a movie.

 

• Make a hot beverage:Hot chocolate, tea or any other warm drink is a great way to warm up after playing in the snow!

 

• Bake:Whether it’s cookies, brownies, cake pops or another desert, baking is a fun way to spend a cold day.

               While it’s snowing outside, there is fun to be had both indoors and out! Whether you enjoy playing in the snow or would rather drink hot chocolate indoors reading, there’s always fun to be had. If you have any other fun activities you like to do on snowy days, please let me know in the comments!

 

It’s that time of year!  The Christmas season is upon us!  To celebrate this festive time of the year, McDowell Student Council invites students and staff to celebrate the “12 Days of Christmas”.  For each of the remaining 12 days of the school year (as in 2019), there is a fun Christmas theme to help all get into the holiday spirit.

To be honest, when I set our goal to be $800, I had no idea if we would be able to collect that much money. It is a large amount of money, but I always try to have high expectations. 😁

And today has proven that when you have high expectations, people step up. They rise to the occasion. 🙌🏼

We have REACHED our goal! Actually, we have surpassed our goal by $0.24! And every penny counts! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

THANK YOU to ALL who helped us to reach our goal! The veterans in our community deserve this and I know our donation will be appreciated! 🇺🇸 #mcdowellstudentsarethebest #bravenation #veterans #supportourveterans

 

The last few weeks have been busy.  We have had a lot going on here at McDowell and I am late in posting a week in review.  You could probably say that I have procrastinated, which means I could also relate to Isaac’s post on procrastination.  If you are guilty of putting things off, you would enjoy reading Isaac’s post on McDowell Media.

Last week, in the United States, we celebrated Veterans Day.  On November 11, Americans honor the men and women who have served our country in our armed forces.  Hunter wrote a Veterans Day post after interviewing his dad who is a veteran.  I also wrote a post last year on Veterans Day about my own father, who was a veteran.

In Ohio, we have a lot of white-tailed deer and this weekend is an important weekend for our deer-hunting youth.  You can read Sidney’s post about Youth Gun Season in Ohio for more information.
