Tech Talk: Communicating With Friends over the Summer
By Sydny Ridgeway
Now that the school year is winding down to a close, students are frolicking to get their friends social media usernames in order to communicate over the summer. So, what are the sites that everybody will be on this summer?
According to http://www.businessinsider.com/the-best-social-networking-apps-for-iphone-android-and-windows-phone-2014-10, there are many good social media sites to use in order to keep in contact with your friends, such as Twitter and Instagram.
There’s also been a new rage on a few new social media apps and websites this year, such as Snapchat. Snapchat is an app where you can take a photo of something and send it to another person. Sounds easy, right? Well, there’s a time limit. You can only see the photo for up to 10 seconds, which makes everybody love the app.
A few websites that are in the limelight and not very many people use, however if they do, they are obsessed, are websites like Tumblr or Wattpad. Tumblr is an app where you can post basically anything you want anywhere you want. Wattpad is an app more for the readers. It’s an app where you can read other people’s stories, or even write your own.
Social media is a good way to communicate with others when you haven’t seen them, or just don’t know where they’re at. These apps and websites are good to use, just be careful in how you’re using them.

By Ashley Maschmeier
Student Council has wrapped up final plans as the end of the year is here.
The Junior High StuCo will say goodbye to Mrs. Kleager who sponsored Student Council for 15 years.
“I am very thankful StuCo allowed me the opportunity to build student relationships in a more casual relaxed setting. Retirement is bittersweet. I thank God for letting me be with kids for 21 years, but now it’s time to close one door and open a new one,” said Mrs. Kleager.
She gives the Gering Junior High her best wishes as they both will start in a different direction.
