On September 18, most of the student leaders and students went to the upper field to film the Student Council movie. The movie is patterned after Avatar The Last Air Bender. We gladly invited our alumnus, Cooper Hefner to help film the battle scene. That scene took three hours to finish it. Cooper is going to put many special effects on the scene to make the sword fighting and bender’s special ability more exciting. We have finished the most difficult part of the movie, so now we just need to film some short conversation clips. We are going to finish this movie as soon as possible, and to show it to everyone soon.

Ginger Spice
As we all know I am a ginger, and the only legitimate ginger at this school. So why not make a blog about people like me? This little blog could shine some light on the not very well known lives of the gingers out there. Luckily enough, the first entry is about someone I believe everyone’s familiar with, Lindsay Lohan. On Friday, September 10th, the young actress was found to be sporting her natural red which she hadn’t had in years. All gingers look better with their natural hair and it looks as if the crowd that commented on the news post agreed. Good job Lindsay! I’m glad to see you come out of rehab with a fresh color of hair.
Banksy!
Banksy is the fictional name of a prolific British graffiti artist, political activist and painter, whose identity is mysterious and unconfirmed. His ironic street art depicts a sense of cheeky dark humor done in a distinctive stenciling technique. He tends to do his work on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. Allegedly Banksy was born around 1974 in Bristol England and took off as a graffiti artist during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980’s. His stylistic method is noted to be inspired by members of the anarcho punk bad Crass and artist Blek le Rat.
Banksy’s art work has been seen as beautiful, disturbing, striking and controversial by the public but, it doesn’t seem to stop him from creating art and forcing his opinion on society.
Banksy does not sell any of his own works though art auctioneers have been known to try to sell his work to the highest bidder.
A monumental victory in the Bronx
Hi Everybody. So yesterday the Yankees and the Rays began a critical 4 game series. In the midst of a pennant race, these next four games can decide who wins the American League East crown. Still, in the midst of division madness, there was time for remembrance.
On July 13th, the Yankees principal owner George M. Steinbrenner III died of a heart attack. Steinbrenner, one of the most famous owners in sports history, led the Yankees to 11 American League pennants and 7 world series titles. A true visionary, he changed the game of baseball forever by seeking prized free agents and through his other interesting and at times questionable actions. A man of charity, he helped the careers of many and provided a second chance, as well as giving to many different charities and organizations. His motto was, “the best form of charity, is through anonymity.”
The Yankees organization unveiled a monument dedicated to him in the fabled Monument Park at Yankee Stadium. This is the first monument to be dedicated in the new stadium. Other than all the pre game fanfare, Curtis Granderson hit two dingers and the Yankees downed the Rays in Game one 8-5.
So for Yankee fans, as well as sports fans everywhere, this week has to be one of tension, and reminiscence. We remember “The Boss,” as we get to watch AL East drama in the hunt for October.
