THE 5TH GRADE
MUD WALK
"This year the 5th grade team went to the Environmental Center for the Mud Walk. It was so much fun! When we first got there we were all anxious about getting in the freezing cold mud. My favorite part about the wet day was collecting as many fish and tadpoles as we could. Oh and lunch! We were divided into groups of two and received a net. We had to take turns trying to catch either tadpoles or tiny fish out of the water. I was able to catch at least two tadpoles and a few bugs." Sadie B.
"When we got off the bus we were able to go into the mud first. Then we went fishing for small fish, tadpoles and bugs. My favorite part was when I fell in the mud like a million times! Most were face first so, you can imagine how I looked when we took a class picture. After the picture we took a quick rinse in a river by the woods. It was refreshing!" Elias V.

Python Post
The
Constellations
By: Samantha Frew
Moonlight pierces the shrouded sky,
He searches for his maiden, to answer her cry.
With a delicate glow, the moon carefully seeks,
His young mistress to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
She walks slowly, alone, in swirling white sand
Reaching gently to grasp a warm pale hand.
She floats into his arms, so peaceful, yet strong,
With a comfort in knowing she must truly belong.
The moon carried her way past the clouds, so far,
And the moon was at last with his lover, the star.

We Scare Hunger
In October, the Social Action Team put off We Scare Hunger, an initiative of the Me to We organization that our school works with.
Maybe you spotted the snazzy masks put up all over the walls. You also could have seen the cans that showed how much food each grade collected, in which the grade eights totally dominated. All of these things were designed to catch the attention of us distracted young people so that we would bring in oodles and oodles of food. We did, too - Ms. Clancy’s room was bursting with Kraft Dinner and Fudgeos for weeks. This was all for a good cause, which makes parting with your Aunt Jemima and cake mix worthwhile: people who wouldn’t normally be well-fed are benefiting from our school’s efforts.
Although you see food drives all over the place, it’s important to do your part, however small it may seem. Our school did it's part; pretty spectacularly I might add. That’s pretty cool, no matter how you slice it!
A sincere thank you to all those who brought in food! Remember, the food that might still be gathering dust in the back of your pantry has gone to people who really need it.
-Eva Haas
Miss Smith: We would like to thank Mark’s for sponsoring both our grade 8 and 9 junior high girls volleyball team so they could enter the NLVA after school league.
Tutoring for tuition is starting up and will be on Thursdays from 2:45-3:45 in room 106. This program is free to students and is a great way to get extra help in your school subjects. See or contact Ms. Andrews for details.
French tutorial takes place every Thursday at 2:15 for one hour in room 317.
Come, let us help you!

Sports Feature
All Python Softball Championship
For the second year in a row St.Peter's Junior High hosted the Pythons Fall Softball Classic, a junior high softball tournament. Our school started this tournament last year with 6 teams and it grew this year to include 11 teams from in and outside the St.John's Metro Region. In the first semi final, Pythons Navy defeated Villanova, in the second semi final Pythons Royal defeated Mobile, setting up an all St.Peter's Junior High Final! In the end, St.Peter's Royal defeated St.Peter's Navy in a great championship. When the game was over both teams celebrated the win! It was a sign of great sportsmanship and that's what this tournament is all about, having fun! Daniel Harris was the tournament MVP. Not only did Daniel demonstrate great skill all weekend at the shortstop position he also showed great sportsmanship and was a great leader to our younger players. Daniel displayed what being a Python is all about!

Guidance
"The thing that got me through that moment, and any other time that I've felt stuck, is to remind myself that it's about the work. Because if you're worrying about yourself — if you're thinking: 'Am I succeeding? Am I in the right position? Am I being appreciated?' — then you're going to end up feeling frustrated and stuck. But if you can keep it about the work, you'll always have a path. There's always something to be done".
-Barack Obama
Gone
Author: Michael Grant
Reviewed by: Dylan Pittman
Gone, by Michael Grant, is an intriguing, well-developed story. It left me desperate for more. An amazing climax, with tense moments and sad events. But, all in all, an action-packed, exciting story that will leave you breathless. I mean, who wouldn’t like a bit of sci-fi dystopia? Let me set the scene; another normal day in Perdido Beach. Oh, wait - anyone above fifteen is gone, vanished into thin air. Sam Temple doesn’t know what has happened, but he knows they have to keep things running until the adults come back. Along with his friends, Astrid, Edilio, and Quinn, Sam puts Perdido Beach back in the right direction, along the way trying to find Astrid’s brother. But, as they were gone, the Coates kids (from a school for the unruly) come into town and take charge. Sam has his doubts about the new kids, and he doesn’t want them to stay. To make things more complicated, war is breaking out and a barrier traps everyone inside the town. Animals are evolving rapidly. Oh, and by the way, watch out for your birthday. You might be gone then...
