Today was community service day and every period was short, Yay!!! Our advisory was going to decorate pumpkins for the kids in the Duke Children’s Hospital. My mom was a driver so my best friend, Davi, and I went in the car to go to Brueggers Bagels where we ate a yummy lunch. Then we got our pumpkins and I named mine Chunk. Everybody decorated theirs in a special way. I used glitter glue, pipe cleaners, and puffballs. He was very sticky and scary when I was done. We drove to the hospital and thought it was pretty cool how they set it up where each floor is for something else. I like how they try to make each holiday as normal as possible. It was interesting. I liked decorating pumpkins!

Hiking Up Stone Mountain By: Ryan W

“No-More-Stairs!!” I hate those things! There were over a thousand of them on Stone Mountain. I love to go hiking through the fresh mountain air. I’m just scared of heights, which really doesn’t help! I was at Stone Mountain in Virginia, USA on a trip with my school to Camp Cheerio. We were at the peak and that is when I came across a tree with a green thing on it. It was a odd caterpillar. He was a bright green little fella with some maroon stripes and some green stripes. He had a triangular head and guess what, he bit me! What I was really anxious about was the waterfall. I heard people died on it recently. When I finally got to it, it was phenomenal! It had lots of jagged rocks at the bottom. On the way back there we a lot more animals including giant millipede, camel cricket, and a bright green crab spider. When we got to the bottom, of course everybody went to go look at the dead deer. Stone Mountain was magnificent!
