Dear Angel,
What do I do when I feel like my friends aren't being honest with me?
-Left out
Dear Left Out,
I know that it can be hard to think that your
friends aren't telling you everything. But just be upfront with them and ask what they aren't telling
you.
Best of Luck
-Angel
Dear Left Out,
Ask your friends if they are being honest. If they
are lying, then they are not your friends.
Hope for the best!

Class Spotlight:
Show Choir
Show Choir is a class that requires a lot
of power! The class is taught by our amazing middle school music teacher, Ms. Williamson. This class includes all types of music, but mainly focuses on the pop genre.
Some songs come from different countries
and languages. Other than singing, the
students practice all types of theater exercises. Every semester, the class performs in
front of a parent & family audience. The
next performance will be May 2017.
