Valentines Day (Wikipedia) Is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a West-

ern Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus. Valentine's Day is

recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and

commercial celebration of romance and romantic

love in many regions around the world, although it is

not a public holiday in any country.

There was a lot of love at WCMS this Valentines Day.

The office was

completely filled

with chocolates,

stuff animals,

balloons and

cards expressing

love for friends

and family.

Friends hugging

each other pledg-

ing their everlast-

compete in a State

different divisions:

School Choice

School Choice allows public education funds to follow students to the schools or service that best fit their

needs. Parents choose for their kids.

Spring is coming and with it, migrant birds will begin to return to Arizona. migration for birds is important

because there timing is crucial. Birds migrate from Central American, South America and Mexico to North

America when many of the food sources such as seeds, insects, and nectar becomes available. Yet, with climate

change many of these food sources become available too early or later in the year, depending on the location.

When birds arrive, they find little food and have difficult time raising their chicks. This becomes a major issue be-

cause birds are key in the balance of an ecosystem. By losing birds many of the carnivores lose, an important food

source and insect population explode because they are no longer preyed upon by birds.

There is little we can do with the amount of CO2 that is in the atmosphere. However, here are some ways on

reducing your CO2 footprint. Turning of lights and conserving energy.; Carpooling to work or school. ;Plant more

native trees or flowering plants.

Snow in Nogales

On Friday, February 22, 2019 our classes were cancelled due to “Snow.” As we all know snow brings out our inner child. No one

wanted to fess up who had built the snowman and who was throwing the snowballs around, but then we caught the corprets red-

handed! Poor Mr. Snowman was left all by himself once everyone went home on Friday. Upon our return to school on Monday, Mr.

Snowman was no where to be found.
