A few ways to earn money by Alyssa -You could have a lemonade stand. You’ll need a big colorful sign to attract attention, try to put your lemonade stand on or near a busy street. You can buy or make your own lemonade, here’s a great recipe for lemonade if you want to make it:

Perfect Lemonade Recipe

Ingredients

 Method
 * 1 cup sugar (can reduce to 3/4 cup)
 * 1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
 * 1 cup lemon juice
 * 3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)

1 Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.

2 While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.

3 Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.

Serve with ice, sliced lemons.

-You could tutor some of your friends. If you’re getting an A in one of your classes, offer to help out one of the people who might not have it so easy. Or if you yourself are not having the easiest time in class, you can tutor little kids or little siblings. 

- You could help out a neighbor. There are many ways to help a neighbor especially if they’re going on vacation over spring break! You could take care of their pet, you could water their plants or garden, and you could clean their house, make sure everything is tidy for when they return.

-You could run errands. If you know someone or your parents don’t have the time to get simple things from town, you could help them get it. You could grab a ride from a friend or walk, depending on where you live. If you can’t make it to town, try helping out around the house.

-You could have a bake sale. You could also combine this idea with the first and sell lemonade and goodies when it’s warm out. Some nice sweets to feature are : • Cookies • Cakes • Chocolate • Jams and jellies • Any family recipes • Chocolate covered pretzels • Chocolate covered strawberries

Hey there Huskies, this is your President, Rochelle Toulabi, writing to you again. I thought it would be nice to share with you guys, just so you are aware of all that’s going on in this wonderful school! I can’t believe it’s March already! I’m so excited for what is to come, but for now I’m going to share what we have already accomplished. This year, Student Council put together a Winter Dance! Many of you showed up, and danced all night long! Soon after, carnations were being sold for Valentine’s Day. You guys were able to purchase flowers and send them to your friends. Recently, smencils were put up for sale during advisory on Mondays. We have all sorts of scents and flavors up for sale, all for the cost of $1. Just last month, you guys dressed up for Spirit Week, participating in days like Pajama Day, and even Celebrity Look-A-Like Day. Our last pep assembly was totally outrageous! There were all sorts of raffles, relays, and contests going on. All three grades fought hard against each other, but in the end, it was a nice reminder to know it was out of pure fun! Thanks so much for reading, stay in tune to see what is to come!

It is fourth quarter which means we are graduating from Northwood very soon! In August, we are starting high school no matter where we are living. Therefore, I decided to help with some tips to prepare for high school. · Join at least one after school activity. · If on the first day of school, and you don’t know anyone in the class except for one kid from Northwood. Go talk to them because it’s better to know one person than be alone. · If you don’t do your homework now, start getting in the habit of it. · Attempt to read one book this summer so your brain · Go to www.aaamath.com for math help! · Remember that once you step into high school everything you do will follow you for the rest of you life. All your grades will be seen by colleges, and will determine whether you get into college. If you make bad decisions, like using drugs or alcohol, anytime while in high school (even in the summer) then you can be suspended or kicked off the team. This is what some 8th graders are doing now to prepare for high school: Thank you to all the 8th graders that helped me with this article!!
