Helping Out Haiti

BY DAVID F.

Over the next few weeks, JFH will be collecting money to send to Haiti.

Some of the activities that will help earn money include donations and raffle prizes, and the Adventurers team will be reading to earn money for the people.

The earthquake that hit Haiti was measured to be 7.0. The death toll is nearing 200,000 and climbing. Hundreds of people are being forced to live on the streets.

The whole U.S.A. is doing all they can to help. The U.S. is sending military support, doctors, and food. So to help out, we are earning as much money as we can.

Show your Hawk Spirit and help Haiti. You could win cool prizes like an iPod Touch, gift cards, and more.

JFH Wrestling Season to Begin

BY KEYANA S.

The J. Frank Hillyard's wrestling season is about to begin. The team is being coached by Mr. D.J. Miller (at right). The wrestling season has not been formally started yet, but it will when we have our wrestlers.

Coach Miller is looking forward to having his eighth graders step it up. He has high expectations.

I will post further information about who the wrestlers are at that time.

JFH Chorus Concert

On Dec 16 J. Frank Hillyard's Chorus did an outstanding job.

The sixth grade choir sang "Mistletoe" and "Once Upon a December" from the movie "Anastasia." The 7th and 8th concert choirs sang "Christmas in About Three Minutes," and "Somewhere in My Memory" from the movie "Home Alone." The Advanced Choir sang "One Child" and "One Candle."

All the groups together sang "When Christmas Comes to Town," "Here We Come A Caroling," "Over the River," and "Coming Home for Christmas" with a miraculous solo sung by Mary Smith.

I myself have to say that all of the choirs have come along way from where we started in August, and that if it wasn't for Ms. Katlyn Whetzel and her cat-like reflex, Mrs. Sutton would have gotten hit with a falling microphone.

Anyway it was a good and wonderful concert.
