Kylee's Trip to Disneyland

by Kylee Perez


                                                                                                                                                                          
This spring break I went to an awesome place called Disneyland! I love Disneyland! Yay, hooray!  I saw Pluto and we looked everywhere for Tinkerbell, but we didn’t find her.  My favorite ride is Big Thunder Railroad, it’s a roller coaster that goes very fast.  I love it because it goes fast and people scream!  It is funny, very funny.


The water park there is so so so fun!  There is a bucket that dumps water all over you and you are  soaking  wet.  It is so fun. There is a hot tub and it is very, very hot.  I got a sunburn from the sun. It hurt sooo bad it and it stung very bad. (I didn't cry or anything.) And there was a pool which is sooo cold. I was freezing cold when I got out of the pool, so I went to the warm hot tub. I got warm and I didn't want to get out.  But I had to.  I always went into the hot tub.  “Kylee!” my mom said, “Where are you?”  I stuck my head up from the  hot tub and said, “Here I am!” and I stuck my head back down from the hot tub and I went in the pool. It was very fun and the next day I had to go home. 

I hope one day you go to Disneyland just like me.

How to make a Chinese fortune teller

By Kiona Koun

Would you like to know how to make a Chinese fortune teller? All you have to do is cut and fold a piece of paper so you could make a triangle, and then unfold it and grab one of the triangle sides and fold it to the folded outline. Do that to all the other sides.


Next you flip it over and do the same thing that you did on the other side. Next you fold it like a rectangle. You could make your own words in the little triangles inside, like “you stink” or “you’re a nice person.”  People pick a number, and that is how you make a Chinese fortune teller.

The most exciting thing that happened to me

by Eddie Chen

The most exciting thing that had happen to me is almost falling off a cliff during a hike at Mount St. Helens. It was scary but it was also kind of fun. My parents were worried more than anyone else there. It all started when my cousin decided to go on a hike so my parents thought it was a good idea. They didn’t know that I was afraid of heights. When we got there my legs were shaking. I was so scared. Then I let my guard down and I fell. That’s my story of the most exciting thing that happened to me.  I still am afraid of heights but I like to go to high places.


Another time I went hiking I was a little afraid but I went on that hike anyway. It was kind of wet but still fun. I had a good time and that’s all that matters to me. That hike turned out okay.  I didn’t want to leave at the end.

The worst ice cream time ever

by Eddie Chen

The Egbers Ice cream event was so boring. Even though you would think pouring ice cream on Mr. Egbers is exciting, it is not. It was gross and it smelled bad. I didn’t like it at all. It’s kind of a weird thing to do since first it's a waste of ice cream and second it was a mess. He should have had to sing at lunch than be turned into an ice cream sundae.


I almost threw up when I was putting ice cream on him. We should have shared the ice cream to classes instead of putting ice cream on him. It also was a waste of toppings. If the school can afford ice cream then why not let us have ice cream at lunch time?

"Moving On Up"

Oliver 6th Grader Reports on "Moving On Up" Event
by Jesus Cano

“Moving On Up” was an event held at Centennial Middle School on April 17th.  The event was to show parents of incoming middle school students what CMS is all about.

The event was pretty good because there were tons of people there.  I think there was at least 100 people--both parents and students--that were at the event.  There were tours going on everywhere in the school.  The highlight of the tour for me was the library because there were tons of all different kinds of books.



The halls were just jammed full of people!  They were being given tours by the 7th graders.
Attending “Moving On Up” makes me excited to go to middle school--but a little nervous as well!
