In the Auditorium, we have an AMAZING presentation for students and their family members. The topic is 'The Developing Adolescent Brain and the Effects or Alcohol and Marijuana'. It is geared towards Middle School aged students and their parents/ caregivers, given by Shelley Campbell from TNTT.
Legacy TNTT was developed in 1986 by three trauma nurses who wanted to put an end to the serious injuries they saw every day as a result of unnecessary risks and unsafe behavior. Since then, we have been leader in programs that help prevent the kind of injuries that cause death and permanent disability for children, adolescents and adults.
Our bike and multi-sport helmet program has been particularly successful, providing more than 120,000 helmets to children and adults at low or no cost. For more than two decades, we have coordinated volunteer-run helmet clinics, distributing and fitting the helmets.
TNTT has also influenced the Oregon state legislature and resulted in the passage of numerous laws aimed at safety, including expanding the use of bicycle helmets, motorcycle helmets and car seats.

Composting at OGMS
By Karter Green
Ockley’s new composting system starts at the kitchen where all food that does not gets eaten gets put into a composting bin. Then, that food gets picked up and taken to a composting facility where it will be turned into fertilizer for new vegetation. This helps our school because it reduces food waste, therefore reducing food costs for the district. This also helps the environment because composting is a much more sustainable way of getting rid of food waste, because it goes back into the Earth to grow new food.

Opinion
Stop Vaping
Vaping is thought to be a healthy alternative to smoking, but most people don’t know all the bad things it will do to your body over time. There have been 18 recorded deaths and thousands are confirmed sick from vaping. It causes illnesses such as lung irritation, brain cancer, raised blood pressure, and it has THC a chemical used in marijuana as well as a lot of nicotine.Vaping has been proven to be worse than e-cigarettes because of the amount of nicotine in the vape pods. It is illegal to vape flavored products in a lot of places. By vaping it more likely that you are start smoking cigarettes. These are some good reasons why you shouldn’t vape at this age or any age at all.
Field Trips
Ockley Green students should be provided the opportunity to go on a fieltdrip. Sitting in a stuffy classroom all day isn't always the most ideal way to learn. Field trips should also be for fun because it could give kids something to look forward to and would help make school a more fun place. Field trips should be for everyone and not just certain electives and classes.
Being a Twin
By: Landon Downs
First things first, people like to say that they wish they had a twin. Contrary to popular belief, it's not a perfect friend who is always there for you, well you'll come to find out that this is not true. I will be going over the real life of a twin and an interview.
Popular beliefs about twins is that they are inseparable, evil, or have powers. But in reality twins are just like normal siblings, not evil, and do not have twin telepathy. Most twins hate when people ask which one they are ( especially when said person knows who there talking to). Also most twins dislike when there asked which one is evil ( because it's likely that there are both evil). Another thing twins don't like is when people ask who is older because the younger twin is probably salty about it.
MR. DAMON'S VIEW ON BEING A TWIN
Mr. Damon is a teacher who is a twin. He loves having a twin and the comfort of having a twin. His favorite thing about being a twin is always having someone to be around. His least favorite thing about being a twin is always sharing everything and being compared to each other. The most asked questions he is asked are people asking if they look the same, if they feel each other's pain, and if they know what the other ones thinking.
School Breakfast Is Grosss
By Elane Abebe
Ockley Green school breakfast is absolutely disgusting. It has no nutritional value and all the wrappers are made out of plastic #savetheturtles. #savetheplanet. The food is not kid friendly and looks like it's been reheated 3 times. Because they are heating the food in plastic, the chemicals release onto the food and the water vapor turns back to liquid and makes the food soggy. The breakfast here is not edible, period. Also, kids need protein in the morning for their brains to function properly. The school breakfast is lacking in protein. Instead, it is high in sugar and carbohydrates. This is unacceptable. If we care about our kids and want our kids to learn, we need to feed them well.Lunch is too Short!
Lunch and recess is too short. We only have 38 minutes to eat, play, and use the bathroom. We have to go through 7, 45 minute classes. We also have a 20 minute advisory class, so that’s a short period of time. It's not fair how we have school for 7 hours a day and we still only get a 38 minute recess. We only get that 38 min to talk with our friends and get fresh air, use our phones, play outside, and so much more. 38 minutes to do all of that, do you think that's enough time?
Stop Wasting At Ockley!
By: Dahlia Williams
Every morning, lots of kids get their packaged egg sandwiches or blueberry muffins. They take off the plastic wrapping and throw it away. I think that it is great that there’s free breakfast here, but the amount of waste that’s going into the environment every day needs to be lowered, and I think that’s possible.
For example, instead of having breakfast individually packaged, it could come in larger quantities and be served on a compostable tray. Ockley Green now has a composting system but none of the classrooms have composting bins. I think that there should be, so that food won’t be thrown away and end up in the landfill.
Another thing that Ockley Green could do, is in classes, instead of passing out so many handouts and wasting so much paper, teachers could either have online versions of the handouts or project them on screen for the whole class to see.
If all of these things happen at Ockley Green, we can reduce that overall waste and make a difference in helping the environment.
Student Rights
Quality Education
You have the right to a “Quality and engaging education in an environment
that is safe and comfortable.” In part, this means that if a teacher is not engaging you in the lesson, you have the right to tell them. Open a discussion with them, ask for a change in the way they teach. If they are not teaching in a way that you can understand, then you are being stripped of one of your rights. Your education should be priority no. 1. If you are not able to learn based on how the teacher is teaching, you have the right to speak up for yourself. The other half of this right is the environment in which you learn. If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, advocate for yourself.
Confide in Staff MembersYou have a right to “Talk with your teachers, counselor, and other school
staff about any concerns.” Even if it may not always feel like it, there are adults at Ockley you can trust. If you ever have anything you need to talk about, you have a right to go to any staff member.
Fair disciplineYou have a right to “Receive fair discipline without discrimination”. All students
You have a right to feel safe in your school. If you ever feel unsafe or see something that could be unsafe, you have a right to speak up, no matter the circumstances.
You have a right to see the personal information the school has about you.
If you don’t speak a language, you cannot receive discipline or instructions in that language. If you don’t understand the language, you cannot be held accountable for not doing what was asked of you.
Additional information can be found in the student handbook.
Lunch and Recess
Hi, today we're going to be talking about the recesses and lunch period, and how its too short. We have to go through 7, 45 minute classes we also have a 20 minute advisories so that’s a short period of time, and not long. We also only get a 38 minutes to have lunch and recess. I think we deserve more than 38 minutes. It's not fair how we have school for 7 hours of school and we still only get a 38 minute recess. We only get that 38 min to talk with are friends and get fresh air, use are phones, play outside, and so much more and we only get that 38 minutes to do all that I just think that, that's so much to do in that little amount of time. If you only have 38 minutes to do all of that do you think that's enough time?

Nike Air Max Review
What Are Nike Air Max 90’s Good For
The Nike Air Max 90 running shoe is known for the great comfort and lightweight feeling it provides. With its Max Air unit, it gives enhanced impact cushioning on the heel.
When Did Air Max 90’s Came Out
The Nike Air Max 90 released in 1990 and is considered to be the second flagship sneaker of the Air Max legacy. The most popular colorway is the 'Infrared', which was the original colorway in 1990. The Air Max 90 was designed by legendary Nike architect Tinker Hatfield.
Is Nike Air Max Good For Basketball
Nike air Max's are good trainers for running, they are good because of the shape of the sole and the immense amount of padding in the heel which helps develop a goodform for when you run in other shoes in a race or something of the sort.
Are Air Max 90’s Good For Running
They tend to be lighter in weight and have better cushioning. Air Max 90 is a model I have little experience with, but if it supports your arches properly and feels generally comfortable on your feet, then it will be good for lots of walking.

Skinjacker Trilogy Review
By Miles
Like Ghost stories? The Skinjacker trilogy by Neil Shusterman would be a good fit for you. Everlost is the place between life and death. The main characters who both die in the same car crash end up smacking straight into each other on their way to the afterlife or whatever lies beyond death. Instead of going to heaven they are returned to the world of the living as afterlights (basically ghosts). They travel together in search of a way of returning to life or going to the afterlife. If you like ghost stories id recommend this book to you any day of the week.

Photo Team
The Ockley Photo Team is made up of Max, Emiliano, Wilson, Cameron, Floyd, Elane, Erik, Kaya, Alex, and Jack. We take all the pictures for the newspaper. This job is fun because we get to go around the school and see what's going on in different rooms, while taking pictures of people and things. We also edit on Smore the website we use to create the newspaper.
The first step in our photo process is to ask the different newspaper teams what pictures they need. This is an easy and interesting step, as we get to know what or who will be in the newspaper. Sometimes a team will ask for an image that can be found online, so it is are job to find the image and put it in the paper.
Next, we find were the object or person is. Normally we know were objects or teachers are but sometimes we don’t know where a student is. This is where we search in Ms. Kate’s binder of all the students to locate which class the student has.
After, we go to take the picture. When we take a picture of a student, we call in to their classroom to ask if it is the right time to take a picture. Then we go to the classroom and take their picture. Most of the time, we bring the team that asked for the photo so they can interview or show how they want the picture taken. We take the photos on our phone so that we can send them to Ms. Kate easily.
Next we upload the pictures to Smore, we save the changes and then were done.
