    A lot of kids at Gesu look forward toThursdays. Why? Because its Hot Lunch

    Day.

    Hot Lunch is a fundraiser for PTO, and

    and funds raised are reinvested back into

    Gesu, said Steve Eitenier, the hot lunch co-

    ordinator, Hot Lunch helps PTO achieve its

    mission of enhancing the education

    environment of the school for the benefit of

    our students, he said.

    If you have been at Gesu for more than a

    couple years you know that there have been

    changes in the hot lunch program. Some kids

    and parents wonder why we switched from

    Papa Johns to Bambinos. According to Mr.

    Eitenier, Gesu switched to Bambinos

    because Papa Johns had a change in

    ownership. Bambinos offered the best menu

    and overall cost, he said.

    Students Sarah Hack and Maddy Perry

    wonder why we dont have hot lunch more

    than one day week. Mr. Eitenier said PTO has

    considered it, but the main hurdle is the

    increased number of volunteers we would

    need to manage the lunch room each day. It

    would also be a bigger effort to coordinate the

    order and payment processes.

    Some students also said theyd like

    more ethnic foods or pizza from different

    places. This year, PTO did change the menu.

    They added hotdogs, tacos, and juice boxes

    and got rid of bread sticks and salad, which

    werent big sellers.

    Mr. Eitenier said that the problem with

    having fast food is that those places dont

    deliver. Also, PTO wants to keep a single

    supplier to keep costs down.

    What's up with hot lunch?

    Extracurricularsthey can be anything

    from musicals and plays to sports and chess club.

    But the real questions are Do we really need

    them? and Do we need more or fewer of

    them?

    Kamyah Nelson in 7R2 is involved in

    stage crew for the musical. She believes that

    extracurriculars make the school better. A lot of

    people enjoy them and they give people things to

    do after school. Cheerleading is a good sport and

    a lot of people like it, she said. She wants

    cheerleading to come back as a sport for Gesu.

    Spring soccer should go, because we already

    have fall soccer. Instead of two soccer seasons we

    should get another sport.

    Quentin Francis-Emonds in 7R2 is happy

    with the sports at Gesu. He believes that Science

    Fair should be a choice instead of mandatory.

    Quentins favorite extracurricular is soccer

    because he thinks its a fun sport. Quentin also

    believes that we should be able to choose our

    own musical. He is involved in soccer, the

    musical, and newspaper.

    Adrianna Reinhart in 3D plays baseball

    and figure skates. She said she would add football

    and volleyball for younger kids. She is happy

    with all the sports at Gesu, but her favorite is

    baseball. Gesu sports are important to her

    because they give kids time to have fun and get

    exercise.

    Extracurriculars are important to most

    Gesu kids. Overall they give kids something to do

    and are fun. These three students hope

    extracurriculars are here to stay.

    Do we need more or

    fewer extracurriculars?

    About five years ago, Gesu had a

    cheerleading team. But now we dont. Whynot?

    According to Mrs Riehle, who was the

    coach then, after the cheerleaders

    graduated, no one was interested in making

    a team the next year or the years after that.

    In order to have a cheerleading team we

    need at least six girls who are willing to

    practice one to two times a week, Mrs.

    Riehle said.

    In the past, cheerleaders cheered at

    girls and boys basketball games andfootball games. St. Francis cheerleaders

    helped teach the team new cheers.

    I think that there would be a lot of girls

    joining the cheerleading squad," says Lauren

    Perry, a sixth grader.

    According to Mr. Tim Best, Gesus

    athletic director, if Gesu wanted to start a

    cheerleading team again, we would need anadvisor and money for uniforms.

    Equipment 101By Mary Gerhardinger

    You need all kinds of equipment for sports. And it can be expensive to purchase.

    But if you take care of it, it will last a lot longer.

    If you play sports at Gesu, you may sometimes get equipment from the school.

    Gesu provides things like jerseys, balls, and football pads.

    What they dont provide is mouth guards, helmets,

    shoes, knee pads, socks, and shin guards. So where does all

    the other equipment come from? Parents buy it.

    Most people put very little pressure on their

    equipment. In fact, this is why a lot of equipment lasts a

    long time. And as Mrs. Organ, Gesus physical education

    teacher, puts it:

    I make it last.

    Mrs. O said that if you put your equipment away properly

    and use it correctly then it will last longer. How do you keep

    your equipment in good shape? You can wash shin guards and knee pads for football and

    volleyball!

    If you want to clean your cleats, then the best thing you can do is to put

    newspaper into them and let them dry out. According to Ehow.com, this is the No. 1

    thing you can do to get rid of that horrible smell.

    This is good because equipment is getting to be really expensive. How expensive is it?

    Gesu spends a lot on equipment. Athletic director Tim Best told me that Gesu

    spends about $2,500 a year. He said the most expensive equipment is probably for

    football, but the equipment Gesu has to replace the most is for football and baseball.

    Show ReviewsDance MomLifetime Network

    If you like drama and dance,

    this is a perfect show for you.

    Dance Mom is a reality show about

    a group of girls from ages six to

    thirteen in a dance company. The

    moms pay thousand of dollars a

    year to make their daughters lives a

    success. Most of the tension comes

    from the parents. They get upset

    when their daughter doesnt get a

    chance to shine or they feel one of

    the other girls is getting more

    attention.

    This show, which first aired in

    July, is good for any age who likes

    dancing. But parents need to be

    careful about some mild language,

    which is always bleeped out.

    Ant FarmDisney Channel8 p.m. Friday

    Ant Farm, a Disney Channel

    sitcom that premiered last May, is a

    great show to watch when youre

    in a bad mood because its a lot of

    fun. The series was created by Dan

    Signer, a former writer and co-

    executive producer ofThe Suite

    Life On Deck. The characters are

    China Anne McClain, Sierra

    McCormick, and Jake Short,

    middle-schoolers in a gifted

    program called Advanced Natural

    Talents or A.N.T. at Webster High

    School in San Francisco.

    China Anne McClain (played

    by Chyna Parks) is an 11-year-old

    music prodigy who has just

    became the newest A.N.T. On her

    first day of school, she meets

    Sierra McCormick (Olive Doyle), a

    girl who has a great memory, and

    Jake Short (Fletcher Quimby), an

    artistic genius. Jake develops acrush on Chyna and they become

    best friends at the high school.

    This show is not what I

    normally watch. It doesnt talk

    about things that happen every day

    with kids. Its more about these

    kids, who have a lot of talents, and

    their relationships to their families

    and each other. I recommend it

    because of the shows funny

    characters. It will keep youlaughing.

    Music Review#1 Girl by Mindless Behavior

    If you think you need some

    cheering up in your life and you

    want some music to speak to you,

    then Mindless Behavior is right for

    you! The R&B groups first CD is

    called #1 Girl. They had their first

    single My Girl in 2010. The

    group consists of four teenagers--

    boys named Prodigy, Roc Royal,

    Ray Ray, and Princeton. The group

    was started by Conjunction

    Entertainment Inc. The four boys

    were picked out of 600 kids.

    Their music is great for

    teenagers because for one, theyre

    teens and they talk about things

    teenagers talk about. All their music

    is from experiences they had. Their

    songs talk about things like fitting in

    and finding the right one. It

    makes me feel like they are

    experiencing the same things we

    are.

    One of my favorite songs isMrs. Right, about how theyre

    trying to find the right girl for them

    and they are willing to go around

    the world to find her. You can listen

    to their songs and find out which

    one speaks to you.
