Mrs. Prothro’s fourth block class re-searched a variety of cultures. They dis-
cussed many different characteristics of each culture, which consisted of most
celebrated holidays, roles of the women
and men, the religion, the foods, and edu-cation. These students also had the oppor-
tunity to display their talents and knowledge for the rest of the school by
creating a collage of the posters in the hallway outside Mrs. Prothro’s room. Be sure to check them out when you are on that end of the school.
PHS Dream girls are progressively preparing themselves for a Christmas abundance of joy for the Pelham Parkway Nursing Home

On December 2nd, the FBLA members traveled to the Pelham Parkway Nursing Home to decorate a Christmas
tree for the residents. The FBLA members who attended were Lacey Brogren, Cheyenne Brooks, Chris Burroughs, Tra’Keena Easom, Jajuan Frazier, Megan Hornsby, Tim-
breanna Hudson, Johnathon Leggett, and Tobi Willis. They also took
pictures and visited with the residents there. Thanks to the

Everyone has heard of or seen the Hollywood star Paul Walker. You may know him from Fast
& Furious, Into the Blue, Flags of Our Fathers, Hours, Joy Ride and many more movies. Paul
was killed in a fiery car crash north of Los Angeles along with driver, Roger Rodas. They
were taking a drive waiting on the charity event to start that they were hosting. Rodas lost
control of the vehicle and smashed through a
lamppost and into a tree before being engulfed
in flames. They were pronounced dead on the
scene. Further investigations have shown that
speed was a contributing factor. These two are
gone but never forgotten.

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving. The term “Cyber Monday” was basically created
to save on online shopping. This day has quickly become one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Also, it has become an international market-
ing term. Countries like Canada, UK, Portugal, Germany, Chile, Columbia, Ireland, Japan, and China also use this day for their online shopping savings. You spend less money by shopping online,
especially where there are numerous amounts of discounts and sales going on all around the world.

“Do not go where the path

and leave a trail.” Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Mika ft. Ariana Grande Popular Song
Mika’s song, Popular Song, featuring Ariana Grande has become a really “popular” song. The song hits a subject that most parents tell their children over and
over which is, “The people who think they’re cool by picking on you now won’t be when they grow up, they’ll be coming to you for a job one day.”
The song
makes this point clear with the lyrics
“Always on the look out for someone
to hate, Picking on me like a dinner plate.
I hid during class and between them.
Dunked me in the toilet, now it’s you that cleans them.”
