The Laingsburg Middle School Wrestling Team had a meet at New Lothrop. The team consisted of 7 members, one eighth grader, two seventh graders, and four sixth graders. Two out of the seven wrestled only three times. The other four wrestled only twice. The last wrestler was unable to wrestle due to medical reasons. The team wrestled  schools from Perry, New Lothrop, Goodrich, and Flint Beecher. The meet started at 5 p.m.,  it lasted till about 6:30. I had lots of fun wrestling with my friends. The picture below is the team.  (one is not photed ) *I am the only girl pictured*

THE TWELVE DAYS OF THANKSGIVING.

Twelve days of Thanksgiving is a way we can give back to the community. It is a food drive, the students put food they were donating in this box.  It was a contest of all 6th hours. There were specific things that students brought each day.      

 This is the city of Valenciennes from above. 

Manon H took an air balloon.

 The river is "L'Escaut".

We see the cinema, restaurants and the ice rink. 

 We see the stadium of Valenciennes called "Stade du Hainaut" ("Hainaut"is the name of a group of cities).

Election Recount       

Jill Stein, a former presidential candidate, is calling for a recount. She has raised over six million dollars to do this, she also wants it done by hand.

     But Stein request was denied late on Tuesday. Stein also filed a lawsuit to the bar officials in Wisconsin for carry out recounts by machine and not by hand. A hearing on Stein’s case was taking place Tuesday night at a court in Madison. The recount took place yesterday in Wisconsin anyway.     

Over two weeks was Halloween. I don’t know if in France you celebrate Halloween but here in the US kids dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating. This year, instead, I went to a Halloween party at Autumn’s house. It was so much fun! We had a murder mystery game in which whoever drew the joker card was the murderer. It turned out to be Autumn’s dad! I came in 5th, “dying” when Autumn’s dad introduced himself to me. We told spooky stories by the fire about clowns which scared a lot of people. We split up into teams to go around the neighborhood on a scavenger hunt. We ate food, played “sardines” (a different version of hide-and-seek), and had a lot of fun.

        Trump vs Hillary

          Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have been battling neck and neck for the top job in the United States. For months these two were arguing for months and months on end. After months of the two trying to woo the country, on Tuesday, however it came to an end. Tuesday was the deadline for voting and the polls closed at 9:00. People waited in line for hours to get their vote in. Then on late Tuesday night and early the next morning the winner was announced. Donald Trump had won with electoral votes but Hillary Clinton won with the popular vote. But in the end it was the electoral vote that caused Trump to win. Even days after Donald was announced, riots are finding their way down main streets shouting things like “Not my president.” Trump is concerned about a divided country.   

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is coming up here in Michigan. It is a time when

family and friends come together to have fun. But how did it all start? It all started one November day in 1620 in Plymouth. Where Pilgrims and Native Americans met to eat a lovely meal. How do we celebrate Thanksgiving? We celebrate by cooking big meals that include turkey, mashed potatoes, pie, bread and rolls. But, that is only a few foods that we eat. Then, we will invite family and friends over to enjoy the meal together. We talk, laugh and have a good time together. That is the true

meaning of Thanksgiving.
