The Knightly News

Have you taken the advice Mr. Kohl, Mrs. Anderson and your teachers have given you -the challenge to get involved in a club or sport this school year? Imagine how much fun you can have being involved with others your age and entertaining the school all at the same time! Now is your chance to join a club! Newspaper Club meets Thursdays after school to create The Knightly News. This first free issue gives you an opportunity to see what it’s all about. If you’re interested in joining but can’t make our next meeting, stop by Room 203 to let me know you’d like to join. We meet until about 3:20. Hope to see you there!

On Tuesday, August 19, 2014, at 12:29 P.M. the local Steak & Shake caught fire after a lightning strike and storm. During the storm on the 19th of August many lightning strikes happened and one hit Steak & Shake, which is located on Locke Dr. near Armor Road in Bradley. The fire was small and contained, but the whole kitchen was ruined and is now under construction. For now Steak & Shake is closed, but have no fear if you are a fan. They have a food truck outside to keep business running. There were two other fires near Steak & Shake in the last two years, one at Denny's and one at Brown & Brown. I wonder what will be next?

8th Grade Girls’ Basketball By Janae Buckner

Basektball season is a very exciting time for athletes. This 2014 basketball team has 15 players. They are Mariah Day, Kamiya Purnell, Diana Farrow, Adamaris Jaramillo, Ke’Mya Jones, Vanessa Moss, Christy Fritz, Kenya Davies, Ella Orvis, Chloee Kuk, Chloe Bretveld, Caroline Dobosz, Sarah Geraci, Payton Chaplinski, and Riley Roth. I asked 5 of the girls what were one of their goals. Kamiya said, “I would like to score the most points and become the best player.” Diana said “I want to get to regionals.” Adamaris said, “I’ll do my best even if we lose.” The 8th grade year should be an amazing season. Are you ready for it?

Drop Everything & Read

A new school year means new programs and that’s just what DEAR is. Periodically, students and teachers are asked to drop whatever they are doing and pick up a book. Have you been prepared? Once DEAR is announced, students are chosen at random to read in the library with Mr. Kohl or Mrs. Anderson but they must have their book with them. Everyone else in the whole school participates in silent reading. It is definitely something to see walking up and down the hallways witnessing the entire student body reading. Remember…

Readers are Leaders!
