There, we learned about a bunch of different birds and even saw a turtle pond! We learned about rehabitization and what steps and precautions the staff have to take to make sure that the animals can transition back into the wild safely and progress there too. Learning about these things was really cool and it was a great experience. Even though I was bait to bugs, it was worth it! Til the next one, Bucs!

2 Buccaneers Win First Home Game By John Grimesey The HOB Buccaneers completed a sweep of Sigsbee Charter Tuesday night with a rather thrilling win in the girls game that was followed by a slightly more routine matchup resulting in a win for the boys. On the girls side, a layup by Olivia Gibson gave Sigsbee a lead with just over three minutes to play. The Bucs handled the pressure, however, by scoring the last eight points and taking the victory. The Bucs were led by Trecia Whetstone, who dominated inside play and ended the game with 12 points.

Polar Pals Gift Shop By: Ariana Martin and Nathalie Espinoza Every year the Jewish community converges to celebrate the holiday of giving, and the commemoration of the Second Temple of Jerusalem who rose up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors of Seleucid Empire in the Maccabean Revolt, brave enough to have their tale passed on through Jewish legend: Hanukkah. The holiday is observed each year, according to the Hebrew calendar. Hanukkah beings on the 25th day of the third month, referred to as Kislev. The celebrations last for eight days. This year, Hanukkah began on December 2nd and ends tonight, December 10th. Throughout the course of the eight days, participants of the holiday light one candle of the nine present on the menorah, every day. Alongside this, each day after lighting a candle they would get some sort of present or object. This is a special holiday filled with lots of meaning and emotion. The Polar Pals Gift Shop is a place for kids to buy gifts for other people or themselves at school. Middle school students can go every morning before school and Thursday during recess/lunch.
