Student Of The Week

- Abigail McMahon

The middle school student of the week was Abigail McMahon, chosen by Ms. Axelrad. She was chosen because she's always tries her best, goes above beyond to meet the expectations, shows kindness and compassion for others and is a joy to have in class. When we asked Abigail she told us that she was surprised to be chosen because she's normally the one being the interviewer. Abby said she is not upset to be picked because she has a very large passion for the magazine. She also thinks her best friend will be proud of her.

Student Of The Week

The elementary student of the week is Azion Lawrence. He was chosen by 5th grade teacher Ms. Joyce. She choose him because he has been putting in a lot of effort in math and helped Ms. De Arellano with a presentation. When we asked Azion how he feels about being chosen, he said he feels good and wasn’t expecting to be chosen. He said he feels special being chosen, and thanks Ms. Joyce for picking him.

Top Four Fall Facts

Fact #1: While the British use the term "autumn", Americans often refer to this time of year as "fall." Both terms first appeared in the 16th century; however, the earlier term was "harvest."

Fact #2: The "harvest moon," which happens when the full moon is closest to the autumnal equinox, is the reason why fall was given the name "harvest." This moonlight, which existed before artificial illumination, was crucial to a successful harvest.

Fact #3: Researchers have discovered that a lack of vitamin D inhibits fat breakdown and promotes fat accumulation, thus a weight gain during the fall and winter months. So the weight gain may not be just the result of comfort foods like pumpkin pie and cider.

Fact #4: Pumpkins are the food that people yearn for the most throughout the fall, according to The Weather Channel.

Fall animals

Baby cubs-For the first few months, young lions are entirely reliant on their moms for both food and protection and for up to
two months, the lionesses would hide her pups from other lions.

Red foxes have an average gestation period of 51 to 53 days before giving birth to a litter. The fur of newborn red foxes will initially be tan, gray, or dark before changing as they become older to become the color of an adult red fox.

Gray wolves-are gregarious creatures that roam, hunt, and live in packs. The alpha male and female, along with their young and older progeny, make up the majority of a wolf pack, which has 7-8 members on average.

Great horned owls have a wingspan up to five feet, can reach lengths of 17 to 25 inches, and weigh an average of 3.2 pounds, and although largely motionless and pointed forward, their eyes have been modified for night vision.
