Mr. Dugan The Veteran

Mr. Dugan was in the army. He was a Marine. He didn’t actually get to fight. He injured his arm during his training. For that he lasted more than three months in boot camp. He finally recovered but never got to fight gratefully.

School Food Interview with Mr. Pina

I think that the food they give us at lunch is good but they need to change the menu into something that is going to surprise us. Many students like the food and some students don’t like the food. Mostly some students don’t like the food because they get tired of eating the same food every day. Other students like the food because it’s what they might eat at home or something they enjoy eating.

Castro Dance

On October 29, 2009, 7th and 8th grades had a school dance. It was from 5-7 p.m. It was a pretty cool dance it could have been better. At the beginning of the dance many people weren't dancing. Although towards the end of the dance a lot more people were dancing. We were not allowed to be dancing on each other. Even though we still did at times. The music that the DJ played wasn't all that great. Hopefully in our next dance it could be a lot better.

Fall break

After getting out of Castro middle school, fall break was here. Students were going out of state or getting new haircuts. But for some, students or teachers got sick. But for me, I did by going to the grass and getting sick. Also, not just in the grass but for an asthma attack. I survived and am going back to school. All last break from fall break I stayed at the hospital for a rest to get back on of my feet. But still sitting on the bed resting really help a lot. At least I got back from my feet here back to school. Also from the way the tests went we sure needed a break.

Opinion: We need shade

Why don’t we have shades ? We need more trees and benches. Kids are getting dark. We should have those big blue shades they have at Peralta .

Rudy got 4^th place and Luis got 5^th out of 98 racers. They raced good yesterday good luck for there next race.

Opinion Article: School Uniform

I think it is cool that we can wear jeans because no school can wear jeans. And I think we should wear more colors for the t-shirts like green, purple, orange, yellow, red , black, pink. Now we can only wear gray, white, maroon. I understand why we don’t have red and black and blue, but not green, purple, orange, yellow.

Oscar

I think Castro would be better if the uniform came in more colors. We can't even wear green, yellow, purple or orange. Last year, we could wear those colors and now we can't wear them. The only colors we can wear are gray, white and maroon. So I'm hoping that next year the sixth graders that are coming to Castro next year would be proud of going to Castro.

Opinion Article: Security Cameras

I think Castro would do better if we didn’t have security cameras.
I don’t think cameras are necessary because its not like we are doing something bad. What if your picking your nose or doing something embarrassing and people see you at the office that’s VERY embarrassing. That’s why I don’t think we should have cameras. It would be much better without them and more comfortable.

Opinion: Backpacks at Castro

I think Castro should not make the students wear mesh and clear backpacks. We should be able to wear any kind of backpack. Because some people don’t want to wear clear backpacks. They only bring binders and that’s why some people forget their homework.

Opinion: Our school's food

I think that we need better food. The reason is that the food we have is nasty. Sometimes the food is hard, overcooked, and they use leftovers. That’s why some kids don’t eat the food at the school. We should vote if we want to have fast food places come to our school and sell us food. That is my opinion on our school food and how we should get better food for our school.

Opinion Article: Basketball Nets

I think that Castro needs better basketball nets because this morning we were playing basketball and my friend shot it and it went in but the ball went rolling far. When there is a basketball net you shoot it and it stays right there trapped in the net. Only two or three basketball rims have nets on them. Everyday it is the same, because we have to go run for the basketball. Everyday I hear students from Castro complaining about the nets. The janitors should change them every month or how their condition is. Some students care because it is what they do everyday.
