Castro Middle School

Castro Middle School is a new school they built last year. The two years that I have been here have been the greatest school years ever. The 8^th graders are going to be the first students to graduate from Castro middle school! I loved 7^th grade because I had the greatest teachers ever and because I had a lot of 6^th and 7^th grade friends. I wish I could repeat that year. 8^th grade is going well for me and I have lots of friends and we don’t do much in 8^th grade. It’s pretty easy except for when we have big test. In the first semester I had P.E. but now I have photojournalism, so far it’s been better than P.E. We do a lot in here though. There’s a little bullying at Castro but I think we’re all getting over bullying. These two years that I’ve been at Castro have been the best. This is the school to be at.

Spirit Week!

Starting Monday Feb. 1 through all that week it's going to be spirit week. It is going to be fun to wear these things to school. On Monday, it's going to be pajama day. On Tuesday, it's going to be mix and match day. On Wednesday it's going to be twin day. The one that I think its going to be the funniest is on Thursday. It is nerd day. The last one is going to be on Friday. It is going to be representing our school. It is Cougar day. I cant wait until next week.

What’s your opinion on the school lunch?

Some students hate the lunch they have at the school others really like it. Some of the food they have is ok and others are just plain disgusting. I understand that the school may be on a budget but they could at least get better tasting food. This is mine and many others' opinion.

Update on Robert and Jerking

For those reading the Downs Dispatch, Robert started here at Castro and for now he's staying here. You're not the only school that can jerk. Don't think you're the best unless somebody proves it. I've seen many people jerk from your schools. I'm not saying we're the best, but we're not the worst. Maybe some of your guys are the best, but no, not at all. This is my opinion. You actually make other people feel bad by saying you're the best. Stop being unfair and stop saying your the best.

Second Semester at Castro

It’s the next half of Castro’s 2009-2010 school year. Things are off to a great start. Some things might be the same like class work is still in progress and everyone learns something new everyday. There are a few different things like electives and even more bully awareness. The school has been well and is in good shape.

Girl’s Basketball Team

We could make it to the playoffs if we win the rest of our games. We won 4 games and lost 4 games. They have only two more games left hopefully there lucky. Our opinion is that the best player on the team is Marissa. She scores most of points in some games if not her it is a 6th grader, her name is Aubrey. The rest of the players are pretty good. We have a good team and great sportsmanship towards other teams. Yesterday we found out that we made the playoffs.
