A Scene

Summer

by Nicole

    Summer sounds like bugs. Bugs buzzing while I see then fly through the air. Bees landing on dandelions. I hear kids playing outside. I feel the humidity in the air. It smells like BBQs cooking. Summer tastes like BBQ food and grass that my friend dares me to eat. I see the bright, yellow, sun shines up in the light blue sky.

The Five Senses

Here is an excellent scene written by Ricky; it has vivid language and clear, if brief, descriptions.

     On a warm sunny night in mid August of 2014, the sun was just half over the horizon. The air was crisp and smelt of fresh grass. Me, Myself, and I were in a canoe, simply fishing. I felt as if my butt was made of fire ants because of the wooden bench seat in that canoe. Suddenly, my fishing pole had a slight pull or jerk, if you would, and a beautiful splash of the crystal clear natural water. I start reeling it in and boy it felt like a whale. But then I hear an eagle's call… I look up and I see it coming from 75 yards out. I frantically reel in my whale/fish. It's so close, I can see it! I get it in the canoe and its literally a bass that is 7 inches long. I was so bummed out, I threw it back and paddled back to camp.

Yearbook Clarification

Hello All,

     I have gotten a couple questions recently about yearbooks, so I figure it makes sense to announce this to all staff rather than field the same questions more than once. I apologize for intruding on your inbox, but here is the yearbook scoop.

     You have two options for yearbooks — hardcover and (new this year!) paperback. The paperback version is the exact same yearbook, with the same sized pages, and the same content. The only differences? It has a soft cover instead of a binder board cover, and it costs five dollars less!

     Hardcover yearbooks cost $23, two dollars less than last year, and paperback yearbooks cost $18 — that's over 25% off last year's prices! Yearbooks are all full color this year, too, so your vibrant Bonny Eagle classroom and event decor will shine from the pages in all its glory.

     To buy a yearbook, either go to jostens.com and search Bonny Eagle Middle School (here is a link — http://bit.ly/1OQNDSc) or bring a check (made out to BEMS) or cash to me upstairs in Room 83. I'll give receipts for cash and check purchases, so students can get confirmation home that their order is secure.

     Thank you for your patience, and let me know if you have any further questions!

Best,

Mr. DeMaris
