This quarter the teachers have been trying
to get more and more students involved in this
new app, Animoto. Animoto is an app that
makes any books come to life. It creates short
movies out of the reading book that the
individual have chosen. You just need to enter a
couple key facts and pictures and press create
and you have made a beautiful Animoto movie
creation. Animoto can be any length of time
depending on the version you use. This app
creates short sideshows of pictures that tell
stories about your book. Finally, Animoto is an
app worth trying and making your book come
to life.

AnswerWell first Cammie, first I'd like to thank you
for your wonderful question. Second, we
recently acquired the school field back and
we will be having a field activity. The
leadership Noontime Sports committee is
thinking on either having Soccer or Football

be football but it is still in debate. Thank you

answered it.

Cammie Tatham 8th grader drew this in art. She said "I chose
flowers because flowers are pretty and the bumble bees because
they go along with flowers". This assignment was given by
Mrs. Morrow for her students to go out and find a picture in a
magazine they liked, then they were to draw it out and color it in
black and white. Tatham cocludes by saying "It was fun but hard to
make, I screwed up a few times but it ended up looking very nice".
It took Cammie only three days to come up with this. As she went
on she said " If I had more time though I would have liked to make
the bumble bees neater".

Leadership News and Events
Valentines Dance
On February 15th, students gathered in the gym for our annual
Valentine's Day Dance. The gym was decorated with glittered hearts
and posters made by the leadership class and the art class. Students
won prizes and a grand prize-- a plush teddy bear went home with
Karina Mendoza. A highlight of the dance was when the guys danced
to the Harlem Shake. The dance was great because a lot of students
went and enjoyed the music that the DJ played from the beginning to
the end.
MRS. DOHERTY’S PASTA DINNER
FUNDRAISER
On Thursday February 7, our community held a pasta dinner
fundraiser for Mrs. Doherty, our 7th and 8th grade Science Teacher.
The fundraiser was held to help Mrs. Doherty fight her battle against
cancer. Many Santa Lucia Middle School and Coast Union High
School students helped out at the event including our Leadership
Class. Many students found this event heart warming and had fun
helping out. They especially had fun because they got to help out with
friends and they knew they were doing it for a good cause.
"I thought it had Swag, I thought it was a really cool event" Michelle
Campos said.
"I thought it was a fun way to help out Mrs. Doherty, and it was fun
seeing everyone help out" Marissa Martinez added.
"I thought it was pretty good, I liked helping out, and a lot of people
showed up." Tyler Seng said.
As well, our community raised $18,549.51!!!!!!!!! By just paying
for a $10 dollar pasta dinner and a few baked goods can really make a
difference, and this fundraiser proved it. A huge Thank you to
everyone who helped out at this fundraiser.
