Each family would fill someplastic eggs with candy and hide them aroundall of our houses, and all of the kids wouldget to go look for them. Well, one year, oneof the kids who lived across the street fromme realized right before it was time to golook for the eggs that he didnt have anycandy to fill his eggs with. He decided to fillthem up with some food from his houseinstead! The egg hunt started and all of thesudden, his mother came outside lookingfurious and told all the kids that if we foundany food in our eggs that she would give usa quarter for it.

The currentschedule, which was used from the fall of 1997 through thespring of 2000, posed many limitations, such as unbalancedclass sizes and providing only 40 percent of students with theclasses they requested. The new schedule would provide thegreatest number of opportunities for the most students. Less,in this situation, will equate to more for a greater percentageof our students, Principal Mr. Mark Fletcher said.Since most of the teachers are already experienced inteaching in the traditional day, the transition should besimple, by Abby Henson72 Gothic •NOVEMBER DECEMBER 1999
