by Evan R. (guest journalist)

Evan R., SJ V., Liam C., and Krishna E. of Stage III and Grant S. in Stage II and Evan’s dad Kevin R. 49 years old have started a band called Slek’n’g (Sleck in gee). Evan is the drummer/singer. SJ is also a singer. Liam is the guitar player with Kevin. Krishna and Grant are on electric keyboard. Slek’n’g’s performed “Where It’s At” by Beck at the talent show at Roeper School in March.

The band likes to do practice at Kevin and Evan’s house because they have all the instruments that are needed and more.

The reason Slek’n’g started is because they love MUSIC. They believe that music has healing powers for the soul. Shoutout to Kevin for providing everything we could want and more! Slek’n’g is actually working on their first song “Burning Rain” right now.

stage two thanksgiving feast

by Sagan and Miles

Have you ever heard of the stage two thanksgiving feast, no? 

Well, the stage two feast is about each year they do different things this year they are kind and learn about different ways of kindness. Each class will make different food and dessert as the event is happening on Friday November 18th at lunchtime. The whole thing started a long time ago. They studied native Americans and the harvest. At some point they decided to serve food. And let parents help. About twenty years ago they decided to let the kids pick the food so they could participate in the feast. The source of this info is from former teacher Michele!
