Top 10 Movies to Watch on Valentine's Day by Maddie Hirsch** The Princess Bride Ever After The Princess and the Frog The Sound of Music My Big Fat Greek Wedding You’ve Got Mail Out of Africa Princess Diaries Mamma Mia Lady and the Tramp **__Tips on Homework, Studying, and becoming more Organized:__** Dear Students, I am giving you all my secrets on how to succeed in school. These will help you with homework, how to study, and becoming more organized for school. First with homework, we have had it since we were little, and even though we all don’t like homework, we have to do it! So to start off with, turn off the computer, television, iPods, video games, other devices, and put your cell phone out of sight so you don’t get distracted. Then clear off a table or desk in a quiet room, and try not to sit near an uncovered window because things outside can be distracting. Next, turn on a fan or crack a window open a little bit to make the room cold so you stay awake. If you usually listen to music while doing homework, pick out some relaxing music with no vocals so you stay focused. Afterward, get all your materials for your homework (a calculator, sharpened pencil, pencil sharpener, a pen, eraser, scratch paper, and anything else you might need). If part of your homework involves the computer (typing a paper for English or you look onto the math website for homework) then close down every other website that you don’t need, and then you won’t be tempted to search the web. This will keep you from not traveling onto a social networking site or chat that can distract you. What I like to do before I start my homework is make a list of the order I should do my homework. Usually the most time consuming first to the least time consuming later. Once you have your list, go ahead, and start your homework. Now you have your materials, you’re staying awake, and you’re focused. Now it is time to start your homework! Ok so now you have finished your homework, and all there is left to do it study for a quiz. Some people don’t study and do perfectly fine, but since I am not one of those people here are some tips to help. To study for a quiz or test you could call a friend and quiz each other over the phone, make flashcards, make a practice test, or if your parents want to help you study have them quiz you. Also, prior to a huge test study days before because if you cram all the studying in one day it harder to get to all the main ideas of the test. Finally, for a big test bring all your materials home, and make a study guide. When you reread and write down important facts it helps you study. Now, I am going to tell you some ways to get organized for school. If you don’t have an alarm clock buy one now! It helps you get up earlier so no more sleeping late. When you are done with your homework and studying put all the folders, books, and spirals back into your backpack. That way the next morning before school you don’t have to worry where they all are. In addition, prepare your lunch the night before and put it in the fridge or just get the contents out for it. Also, lay out your clothes the night before so you don’t spend a lot of time to find what to wear. There is some ways to help you get organized the morning before school. Finally, before you go to bed at night check your agenda book!!! Make sure you got everything done, and use it like a check list. Once you finish each subject check it off, and even if you don’t have homework in a subject that night write none or just cross it off. Then before you go to bed you know that you can have a good night sleep, and won’t worry about not doing it. Now, sometimes you wind up forgetting something at school. (This has happened to me many times) What I like to do is call a friend or email a friend to see if they could make a copy. If no one has it, then email the teacher!! I know it sounds really weird, but telling the teacher before you go to class the next day can make things better. It shows that you are becoming more responsible, and it can make everything better! Now I have told you all the tips you need to make sure you are ready for school. From, Maddie Hirsch

A Short History Of Valentines Day The person who helped to make valentines day a real holiday was, of course, St.Valentine. His real name is unknown, but we have a hunch we know what he did to make valentines day. In the Roman Empire, Emperor Cladius II once outlawed marrige in Roman cities. Valentine defies his orders, and started to marry people in secret. When he was caught, he was sentenced to death. While in jail, he is rumored to have sent the first 'valentine' to the jailer's daughter. This is the most believed theory, but there are other ones. So, as an end to this short summary, have a happy Valentine's Day!
