Music Review Kesha Take It Off This is one of my favorite songs. If you like a kind of techno beat you will like this. It’s got a great beat to it so if you need a great party song try this. You will flow to the rhythm. So if you want to dance put this on and get your party on. 5stars By Olivia G,

MUSIC REVIEW

On this review I will be dong it on The Doors, The Soft Parade. This song is very old, it was written during the hippie revolution. It is about 10 minutes long. It was a record, but later on it became on The Doors Greatest Hits album. I think if you like classics then this is definitely a great song to listen to. I rate this song as a 5. By Angel

Upcoming Events  Okay, so in ARTEC Girls A&D, Ashlyn is having a Birthday and is coming up very soon. My Birthday is March, 31 but I don’t really know what I am going to do for my birthday, because well we never know what we are going to do on any day…. It’s always a surprise. I am always happy on my Birthday, because it’s my day to celebrate me and I have lived another year on earth. How fun. LOL!!! But wish me tons of wishes, because I really need them.  I rate myself and my Birthday 5 stars  By: Ashlyn MUSIC REVIEW Juicy is an AMAZING song about a guy that grew up in the ghetto. He is telling the teachers who told him he would never get anywhere in life, because he was a black boy who lived in the ghetto and said he was too poor and people who called the police on him… ha ha look who I grew up to be. There is a part in the song that says “don’t let them hold you down, reach for the stars “. It’s inspiring and makes me feel powerful. This song is sung by Big E. By Erma

Why Do We Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? By: Angelica

Many people now days are not Irish, but why do they still celebrate St. Patty’s Day? St. Patrick is known to be the patron saint of Ireland. Even though he was not officially declared it, the Catholic Church still considers St. Patty’s Day, March 17th, as a religious holiday. We celebrate it on March 17th, in loving memory of St. Patrick on the day he passed away. We wear green for Irish traditions, because St. Patrick was from Ireland and was Irish, and that is where the green gets pulled in. I am not Irish, but I still celebrate with green, because if not everyone pinches me. I think that it is a good holiday, because it can be a time for family, you can dress up, and you can do fun activities. Tons of activities like… who can do the best accent, or who can wear the most green, and even try and find the end of the rainbow. No matter how you spend it, it is still a great holiday so have fun too. Artec News By McKay J. Opinion Article

I have a very strong opinion on whether or not they should cut funding on mental Health institutes. Today they are spending less and less on places like ARTEC, the State Hospital, and other places like that. I think it is a bad idea to do this, because without these places, we would not be able to help the people that are mentally handicapped. At ARTEC South, they cut the funding on the boys unit, which eventually shut it down. It is now a girls unit instead. The only way the boys can now go to ARTEC South is to go to the Day Treatment unit. The government has got to give back the funding to these places.

Movie Review: Pinocchio

Pinocchio is about an old man who is lonely and has a love for making puppets and working with wood to create art. So one day he made a puppet into a boy and wished that night that it was a real boy. And some star came through his window has a woman and made it come true. Also the star assigned a cricket named Jiminy to be Pinocchio’s guardian. The following morning the old man woke up and the puppet he made was talking and running and dancing around. Then He sends Pinocchio off to school. Pinocchio then got kidnapped and sailed off to a circus that turns boys into donkeys. He escaped before he got turned into a donkey. He jumped in the ocean and got swallowed by a whale. The old man came to the rescue and ended up needing to be rescued. He and Pinocchio worked together to get out of the whale. They got out and went home and lived happily ever after.

I consider Pinocchio a good movie, to the old and the young. It teaches the viewer a lesson of responsibility, trust, betrayal and imagining. The movie is originally animated, so it brings fun to the eyes. And over all I give it 4 stars.

Movie Review, Due Date

The movie Due Date is hilarious, funny, and a little romantic, because this dad will stop at nothing to get to his wife who is going to have a baby. Also he will have to endure this funny, but annoying guy that will not leave him alone and makes his life miserable and puts him threw heck to get to Los Angeles from, I think it was Louisiana or Alabama or something like near the east coast. Well anyways, he has to get to his pregnant wife in L.A. and he gets on the plane and this guy sits behind him and tells him to turn off his phone and he says that I would trigger a bomb and he says bomb and terrorist. Those are the two words that you don’t say and so they get tazed and he loses his wallet. He gets a rental car to drive there. He has to ride with the guy that put him on the no flight list and the guy comes with a lot of drama. Also he has to endure a car accident, get put in a trailer, and hand cuffed to the table in the trailer. He picks him up and gets chased by cops and then his friend talks and goes out with his friend's wife and now he thought that the baby will come out African-American.

Your life is as important as, the sun on rainy days, Your soul speaks out so beautifully, leaves people in a daze I now give you the strength to go, and carefully move on, To step outside to greater things you may have never done.
