Winter Break

Winter is the coldest time of the year. It's also time for Christmas. At school the weather is very cold. Everyone brings jackets to school everyday because of how cold it is. In P.E. we can't play outside or go outside for recess because of the rainy day schedule.

Borman getting strict

So you all have probably heard about Mr. Lindebak being our discipline teacher. That’s really lame but that’s my opinion. This all started because substitutes would go to our school especially 8th grade and they said that we are very misbehaved, rude and more. Well hopefully we can behave now.

Borman Basketball

The boys and girls pulled out their first victory against Harris. The girls won 33-13. It was an awesome game. The boys won 35-27. Mr. Noble and Mrs. Tourtillott were happy with our performances in our first victory. Let's go Borman!

Galileo Testing

Galileo is coming next week so be ready and start listening to the teacher and don’t be a bad student. There is one Galileo every 4 quarters. Galileo is the 2nd most important test so start studying! Last year's Galileo, most of the students failed and in 8th grade we need to be serious to go to high school. If you don’t pass you don’t get to go to the high school you want to go. Galileo is hard and you can’t remember the answers. And don’t cheat in the Galileo test. Try your best and work hard. I like Galileo because it takes us a lot of time to finish so it makes the day go faster.

Winter Break

Winter break is going to be awesome. We get out on the 18th of December. All the 8th graders are so happy because of winter break. Winter break is after Galileo testing and it is going to be cool because it is a week of testing then we get off of school for two weeks. We get to spend time with our family and friends. We get to have holiday fun and spend time with people that we have not seen in a long time. It is cool and cold but we love the cold because it is hot in Arizona. We get back on the 4th of January.

Picture Day

Picture Day is almost here! It’s coming on the 10th or 11th of December and I can’t wait until it’s finally here. Most students love picture day, because it’s the day when the girls do their hair better than usual, the boys get their new hair cuts, and everyone gets free dress day. Picture Day may not seem like a big deal for the younger grades, but for us 8th graders it’s a big deal. The reason for this is because it’s the last picture we’ll have here at Borman and I don’t want students to look at me in the yearbook and think something else! So for you 8th graders take a good picture!

Galileo

Next week we have the Galileo. This is the second Galileo of the year so we will only have two left for the rest of the year. The teachers are freaking out and are trying to teach us stuff fast and it is getting annoying. We think that district should cancel the Galileo all together. The other thing that makes me mad is that the teachers say that the Galileo is 60% of your grade like every time we almost have the Galileo.

Borman Versus Downs

Today the girls and boys basketball teams are having a home game against Downs. The last game against Harris, Borman was victorious and were supported by family and friends so come out and support your team. The girls will be having their game on the outside courts and the boys will be inside. We hope you’ll come out to support us, we can use all of your school spirit. The game starts at 4:30, be there!

Weather

Today, the weather is really weird. It is all cloudy and we're pretty sure it’s going to rain. It is usually very hot and dry and windy. But, since last night it has been very cloudy and freezing. The weatherman said that, “there is a 50% chance that it is going to rain.”

Basketball Game

We Want Change

Blah
Well, we’re supposed to write an article about something that has happened or will happen in school. The thing is that school this year is very very boring. No offense. We totally hate it. So, many students move to other schools in the district since they made Borman preK-8th , and now there is only four 8th grade classes at Borman Elementary. That doesn’t sound right. Anyways now we don’t even enjoy school. Another thing we had two electives a day and every single day. We hate Borman. Though what can we do?



Yay! Our Answer!
We need someone to step in and take charge and make Borman cool again. Someone who will see our point of view. They could be strict and BuhDazzleing at the same time. Someone like that would make Borman more interesting and fun. More people would want to come and join the learning environment. Our school is dull compared to the other learning educational schools. We need a CHANGE for our kids!

Borman

What can I describe to you about Frank Borman Elementary School? Anyone would love to come to Borman. It’s probably a wish come true or something. I have been here since 6th grade and it’s been really fun and I’ve seen a lot and been through a lot so you can basically say I have a lot of experience at this school. The last two years were the best years of my life. This year isn’t all that but its alright. School doesn’t always have to be fun.
