Dr. Olin addresses the COVID-19 numbers and how mask use has helped us increase the number of students we are able to keep in the classroom as opposed to sitting out of school due to exposure to others who test positive for COVID-19. | COVID-19 cases in GC Summary of Positive COVID-19 cases among G-C students this school year. | |

FUN Facts & Crafts by Anna Lineback . . . .
Winter theme!
This week I decided to make a craft that can help keep you warm during the winter. As winter goes on it’s getting colder, so I hope this craft helps you stay warm.
No-Sew Blanket or Pillow
Needed
| Step 1-Cut out the amount of fabric you want to use. I decided to make a pillow, but these steps will also work for a blanket! | Step 2-Cut your piece of fabric in half |
Step 3-Mark lines on one piece of fabric every inch. I used a fabric cutting board for this but you can also use a ruler. | Step 4-Cut the corners off of your fabric. Your strips are going to be 2 inches long so cut your corners 2 marks wide. | Step 5-Cut strips like this |
Step 6-Repeat this process with the other piece if fabric. | Step 7-Cut the slit in each strip by folding the strip in half and cutting a very small bit in the middle. | Step 8-Place both poems of fabric on top of each other. |
Step 9-I’m going to call the strip on top strip A, and the strip on bottom strip B. Bring strip B through the hole in strip A. Strip a will now be on bottom, pull strip A through strip B. | Step 10-Repeat this process for three of the sides. Step 11 (optional)- Stuff the pillow or blanket | Step 12close up the final side You’re done! |
Step 9-
I’m going to call the strip on top strip A, and the strip on bottom strip B. Bring strip B through the hole in strip A. Strip a will now be on bottom, pull strip A through strip B.
THREE LUNCHES AND A MEME . . . .
BY ANNA STUDER
WELCOME TO SCHOOL LUNCH REVIEWS! MY NAME IS ANNA STUDER, AND I AM A FOOD CRITIC. I HAVE BEEN TAKING PHOTOS OF MY LUNCH SINCE THE THIRD MONDAY OF SCHOOL. I don’t want to make the lunch ladies look bad, because they have to make lunch for 600 students a day, and the government won't let them make things that they could last year, so imagine how difficult it must be. THEY WORK SO HARD, AND I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. I HOPE YOU ENJOY!
Monday, January 11th, 2022Today there were hot dogs, and I had ketchup and dill pickle relish on mine. I also had some Lays pickle chips. You can imagine all the shattered dreams and despair in the bag before you actually find the chips. I almost had to shove my entire arm into the bag just to get them! Haha. Just kidding. The canned peaches were alright. I give this lunch 4 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Thursday, January 13th, 2022O my gawd. I couldn’t believe it! The queso pasta!(kinda sounds like a Harry Potter book. Anna Studer and the Return of the Queso Pasta. Haha.) the only good thing about this lunch was that the cheese-filled garlic bread was really good. Another good thing was that the lunch lady asked me at check-out, “I thought you didn’t like the queso pasta.” And I said, “no, you're right, I hate it. I just gotta do a review about it.” I think she liked that. I give this lunch 2½ out of 5 stars.⭐️⭐️✨ | Friday, January 14th, 2022Today, there were chicken nuggies that were all the same exact shape, a huge hint that they were made by a machine and a list of fake synthetic ingredients, and not made by a chicken. The banana was inedible not because it was too green, no. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, the dam banana stems are too short to use to open the dam bananas!! There were also these li’l breakfast “cheesy” roll thingies that had green chiles and eggs? I think? Anyway, they weren’t bad, but they didn’t taste anything like cheesy. I give this lunch 3 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
