Did you take part in Red Ribbon week
at BBHMS? “Your Future is Key, So
Be Drug
Free!”
was the
theme
for Red
Ribbon
Week at
BBHMS
this year.
At the
kick-off,
there was a lunch room red– out con-
test where students were given the
chance to win a lunch party and an ice
cream coupon. Also, students were
able to purchase Hershey bars to be
delivered to their friends in home-
room.
On Monday, students wore
pajamas to school in order to “Dream
Away Drugs”. Tuesday’s theme was
to “Shoot For The Three & Be Drug
Free” which went along with sports
attire. Wednesday was American
spirit day. Students and staff
dressed in red, white and blue. To
“Be Patriotically Drug Free”. Finally,
Thursday was the homeroom contest.
Each homeroom came up with a
theme. It was so great to see all of
the creativity!

candy varieties, but personally I
liked the sour ones! Speaking of
candy, the food was just as great!
There was not only pizza, but pret-
zels, fruits, cookies, chips, and
much more. Everyone ate and
drank the lemonade with joy! The
open gym was one of the main plac-
es to be. With open gym going on, no one could
get enough of volleyball and basketball. Activ-
ities were everywhere including the scavenger
hunt,
ping -pong,
and put-
put! Eve-
ryone
went
home
with not
only a smile on their faces, but memories to
last a lifetime. In conclusion, the sixth grade
Halloween Social was awesome!
By Anya Mathur
The 6th Grade Social was
a huge hit! From the cos-
tume contest all the way
down to the DJ, every-
thing was perfect. In the
costume contest, some of
the best costumes won
gift cards to places such
as Star-
bucks or
Target.
Although
many
people
didn't
dress up,
everyone
looked
great. The DJ played any song requested!
Even if you didn't request songs, I bet you
danced your feet off! Some of the best danc-
ers there included gymnasts, but there were
many more great dancers in the crowd. The
candy station featured several different
Monster Bash
Fall Trivia:

tary and for one year as a dental assis-

Do you pick the books that are in the li-
brary? If so, how do you decide which
books to pick?
Yes, I select the majority of the materi-
als for the media center. There are many
ways I determine what to purchase.
1. First, and foremost, I listen to you
(the students) as to what you are read-
ing. Your input is most important to me. I
want you to be reading and I have learned
over the years, that it is important to
have the books you are wishing to
read. (What good is having lots of books
you aren't interested in *even if they are
good books, if you aren't reading them.)
2. I also rely on teacher's recommenda-
tions and what they determine would be
helpful for their curriculum.
3. I try to keep the high interest books
and the "oldies, but goodies" on the shelf
for you as well.
What do you do during the day that peo-
ple may be surprised to hear?
As embarrassing as this is... Mrs. M.
watches far too much reality televi-
sion!:) Any program where they vote peo-
ple off weekly, she can be found watch-
ing. You can sometimes also find her vis-
iting her son Mr. Shuster (7th grade gold
Social Studies teacher) in his room.
By Izzy Brashear
Did you always want to be a librarian for
a school? If not, what other careers were
you interested in?
No, but I always loved reading and being
around a school setting. (It must have
shown, as my 2 sons are teachers, and my
daughter was a teacher for 3 years be-
fore continuing her education to become a
doctor.) Because of my PSO volunteer
work I was able to get a position working
in the BBHCSD in the library. I am so
lucky because I LOVE my job! It is said,
"Find something you love to do, and you
will never work a day in your life". This
is so true. The only other profession I
would have loved to pursue was studying to
become an X-ray technician.
How long have you been a librarian?
I have been working in the media center
for almost 30 years! What was once a
library has now evolved into being the
technology hub of the school. And I love
it!
Did you have any other jobs before you
worked here?
Yes, for a short time as a business secre-

Coaster Chat: Keeping up with Cedar Point
By Will Minatel
Welcome to BBHMS’s way of keeping track of the true happiest place on Earth, Cedar Point. I’m Will, and this is Coaster Chat.
Intro to Steel Vengeance
In this Coaster Chat, I will be going over Cedar
Point’s newest addition to their already phenome-
nal roller coaster lineup. Yes, I am talking about
the behemoth now standing over Mean Streak’s
grave, Steel Vengeance. This thing will be massive,
standing at 205 feet tall, dropping riders 200 feet
straight down 90 degrees, and going upside-down
4 times. The last piece of track which was melted
into place on October 4th will ensure that riders
will be whipped through 5,740 feet of track at a
top speed of 74 miles per hour, making this ride
two and a half minutes long. However, the most
impressive thing about this out-of-control monster
is the airtime. Most of you know the feeling you
get at the top of the hill right after the first tun-
nel on Millennium Force, where you are whipped out
of your seat and hovering over it for about 2.5
seconds. On Steel Vengeance, you will be out of
your seat for 27.5 seconds, the most airtime on
any roller coaster in the world! You will never be
sitting down, and there is nothing the lap-bar(yes,
you go upside-down 4 times with just a lap-bar) can
do to defy physics, unlike the banked track on the
outside of a turn that can also be found on this
beast. It was built by Rocky Mountain Construc-
tion(RMC), a fairly new company that takes an old
wooden roller coaster and outfits it with fancy
steel track and inversions, making one of the best
rides in the world! The company’s short yet amaz-
ing history gives this monstrous ride great expec-
tations. So this presents a challenge of riding it in
it’s opening year, but it would pretty much be a
crime to live this close to the park and not get on
it.
So, that about summarizes this insane ride. The
question on everybody’s mind, however, is “Will
this be the best ride in the park?” In all honesty,
I personally think it will be. This thing’s got the
stats and it breaks the records (10 of them to be
exact). But the only true way of knowing if it is
the best is riding it. The last question left is: Are
you brave enough to take on Digger, Chess, and
Blackjack? These outlaws have come to take back
Mean Streak’s fame from Maverick, and they’ve
also come to take you on the wildest ride in Fron-
tiertown.
