I would like to thank all the students who contributed to The Charger this year and helped to make it a success. I would also like to thank the editorial staff for all their work and creativity.
I was very happy with the quality and variety of stories and wide student participation this year. I was also very pleased with the increased color printing and advertising.
Megan K.'s hard work as advertising editor helped us purchase two quality digital cameras and two more tape recorders. We now have better photographs and more accurate reports of interviews.
The editors will receive a CD-ROM version of The Charger as a token of appreciation. Any student who contributed to two issues of The Charger will receive a certificate of merit.
I wish the eighth graders luck in their high school careers and hope to see the rest of you again next year.
I would be remiss if I did not thank the administration and teachers for their support, and Mrs. Denise Doyle and Mrs. Linda Purtell for all their help and patience in copying The Charger each month.
The Charger staff

The great schedule debate continues
By Shannon P.
I asked seventh graders whether for next year, they would rather continue the block schedule we are on now, or go back to the old schedule.
I only interviewed seventh graders, because the sixth graders weren't here last year, and the eighth graders are leaving.
Of the fifteen students I interviewed, ten prefered the block scheduling and five wanted to return to the old schedule of shorter classes that met everyday.
 |
I want to go back to the old schedule because we spend too much time in the same classes It gets pretty boring staying in the same class so long. |
 |
I want the new schedule because you have more time to do homework and not as much is due. |
 |
I want the new schedule because you have more time for homework. |
 |
I like the new one because you have more time to do homework and more time with the teachers. |
 |
I want to go back to the old one because it's much better because the classes aren't as long. |
 |
I'd like to have this schedule again because you don't have to go to all of your classes. |
 |
Ashley wants the old schedule because the new one is too confusing. Mari and Angela like the new schedule because they have more time to do homework, and the homework isn't always due the next day. |
 |
I like the new one because if your friends are in the same class, you have more time to spend with them. The schedule is also a change from the usual. |
 |
I would like to go back to the old one because you don't have to stay in the same class for so long. |
 |
I want this schedule again because the day seems to go by faster. You also have more time to see friends. |
 |
I'd like to go back to the old schedule because these classes are just too long. I like going to all of my classes everyday. |
 |
I would like to have this schedule again because you have more time to finish homework. |
 |
I'd want this schedule again because you don't have to go to the same class everyday. |
