SHAMROCK WRITING CHALLENGE
The Shamrock Writing Challenge is back for another round. The October challenge is based on the phrase “Don’t open the door!” This is a common line from horror movies, which are popular at this time of year. While you don’t have to write a horror story for this challenge, create a story where the phrase “Don’t open that door” appears. Stories should be no more than 500 words. The due date is Friday, October 29 at 2:45 P.M. The winner receives a pass to go to the front of lunch line and get a free beef sandwich. See your English teacher to sign up. Start working on your stories now, and remember: Don’t open that door!
MAGAZINES
Mrs. Wood is looking for old magazines to use for a project. Please drop off any school appropriate magazines to Room Art 2. The magazines don’t need to have a lot of photos, but it is a bonus if they do. Magazines about any school appropriate topic will be welcome. Collecting will take place throughout October.
