Last Eagleye!


The newspaper club met for the last time. Five members rode the newspaper club van to school each Friday.

The End of School

by Cooper Gray
It seems to be that the end of the school year is one of the most priceless days of childhood. The day you have fun playing and forgetting all the work you just did. For at the end of the school always comes the parties, like field day; we go to the park and have fun. Always remember this day in your days of firsts. Have a good summer! I know I will. Have fun.

Our School's Got Talent

by Ava McCarthy
Last week we had a musical performance. There was a piano played by Fernando, Winter Lina, Molly and Paul S. Guitar played by Olivia, Nora, Faith and Harmony. Violin was played by Ava, Antoni, Mindoe, Claudia and Rebecca. Cello was played by Cooper, Anabel, and Tai. Last but not least, band played by Alex, Jensen, JJ, Mateuz. Everyone played very nice songs, organized by Mrs. Lyford and MacaiL accompanied them. Everyone sang two songs at the end. With all that talent, who knows what they can do next?

Hershey Track Meet

Last week on Thursday, some of the Adam's Team kids went to a Hershey Track meet. There were races, soft-ball throwing, long jumping and a relay race. Our team won lots of events. The winners get to go to state. Olivia, Jensen, MOlly, Anabel, Rebecca, Paul S. Claudia and former student Derek all get to go to state. It was so fun! We can't wait for the next track meet.

Summer Poem

(inspired by Phineas and Ferb)
by Paul J.
There's a hundred and four days of summer vacation, And school comes
along just to end it, And the annual problem of our generation,
Is finding a good way to spend it, Like maybe...
Singing in a musical or going sledding. Or hanging out with your
friends, Discovering something that you didn't know
Or never taking a shower! (P-U!) Building nanobots,
Starting a book club to increase the size of your brain!
Catching tons of fish, Throwing them all back,
And driving your siblings insane! (AHHH!)
As you can see there's a whole lot of stuff to do before school
starts this fall. So stick with us, 'cause St. Laurence kids are going to do
it all.

Kids Fiesta: Big Success
By Paul J.
The Kids Fiesta was amazing! Almost everyone came and they even brought friends from other schools. About 60 people showed up. We played karaoke, we sang and danced, and we celebrated the success of the adult fiesta which made over $40,000 for the school. "We should do this more than once a year," said Mr. Wilhelm. He thought it was fun for everyone and a good way to show off the school.

Chapter 4 Part 4
By Cooper Gray
I could only feel the rocks and grass rub against me and the mist brushed on my face like a paint brush. I could see leaves and the sun raining on me. The low voice of Draco rang in my ears. “Get up! Let’s go.” I looked up as my face slumped down and my eyes were blood shot. The camp stood proud and the grunts and moans rumbled the ground. I heard the swift brush sound of an arrow souring to the ground. It slammed to the grass and ripped the dirt. “Let’s go!” Draco yelled. He grabbed me by the collar and ran me down the hill to an oak tree. The hard bark rubbed against me. My feet were splintered and bruised as they lay in the grass under the sun that blazed overhead. My burning eyes made the view blurred. The army looked like a puddle of black in the distance; little dots infected the sky and flew over to the camp. Some of them fell and disappeared in the fading sun. More and more dots came flying in consecutively and with that more and more blurs fell. Some of the blurs became clear and I saw the army. Then I felt proud and unstoppable. I ran down the hill. My boots were tossing and turning side to side because my laces were loose. I reached the army and an officer said...
