We also want to thank the morning show crew for letting us come here every day, the custodial crew for helping set things up, PTSA for helping us with concession volunteers, and the library staff for hosting our candy jar.
A special Thank you to Mr. Bell for his help with the video and the assemblies, to Mrs. Walzer and Miss Farrell for coaching ALL the student teams for Friday’s game, and to all the teachers and staff who played in the game -- and even beat the Rochester Wheels (although it was only because the Wheels gave us pity points!)
Congratulations to all 3 houses. To Red House in showing the most spirit during the week, to White House who won the basketball game and the big 500 point prize, and to Blue House for winning back the Spirit Stick.
The final numbers were, in 3rd place, Red House ended up with 2764 points, in 2nd place, White House ended up with 2795 points, and Blue House won with 2845 points. So you see, ALL houses were in it until the end… To be continued next year….!
BUT the real winner is Habitat for Humanity and the people who need their help. We will be back later this week to let you know the final amount we will be donating to this worthy cause.
So thanks again everybody. And now back to Analiesse and Maddie at the news desk.

· Now over to Student Council with last day information from Spirit Week.
· Hi I’m Ava
And I’m Maya
Here are the results for Spirit Week leading into today’s assemblies!
Yesterday Red House students earned 145 points for wearing their sports attire, earned 15 points at trivia, and 45 points for the candy jar guesses.
White House earned 123 points for their jerseys; they also earned a huge 45 points for trivia but no points for the candy jar.
Blue House earned 205 points for their sportswear, earned 15 points at trivia and 5 points for the candy jar guesses.
So… as of now: in 3rd place is White House with 1809 points. In 2nd place is Red House, with 1921 points. And in 1st place with 2018 points is Blue House!
BUT the competition is far from over… There are today’s assemblies, where people will compete in Minute-to-Win-it games for points. For EACH game, 1st place will 50 points, 2nd place will get 25 points, and 3rd place will earn 10 points for the team!
And when we roll the die today, we are going to multiply the DRESS-UP points by the number on the die. So ANY house could still win the Spirit Stick and take it away from the Red house who won it last year!
Make sure you’re ready to participate in the games if your name is called during the assembly. If not, your team will be disqualified from that game. And you do get a candy bar prize for competing.
And don’t forget to get your tickets for the basketball game. The proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity. The whole purpose of this Spirit Week is to show that Spry has spirit and CAREs about people beyond our walls. All the fun is great, but raising money and awareness for a good cause is what makes it special.
Here’s today’s trivia: The answer to yesterday’s question was McDonald’s. Today’s question is… Category: Geography -- and it’s a two-parter!
Question: What is the name of the world’s highest uninterrupted waterfall, and in what country is it located? You must have both parts of the question answered.
So who won the candy jar? Drum roll please. The correct number was 504 candies. Congratulations to Abby Grant from the Red house. See Mrs. Gillen in room W10 today to claim your candy prize.
And now Connor will Roll the Die to see if all of TODAY’S points, including the pep rally points, will be doubled…and what we will multiply today’s dress-up points by…
Now back to Claire and Lucy at the News Desk.
· That’s all for Spry Today, thanks for watching and have a wonderful weekend everyone!

· It was rough weather outside yesterday as the snow piled up making for a tough afternoon commute. Spry Meteorologist Jonathan is here with today’s weather report to tell us if we can expect even more snow to fall.
· Thanks Jonathan. Today's final profile in excellence is on Malcolm X. Malcolm X, the activist and outspoken public voice of the Black Muslim faith, challenged the mainstream civil rights movement and the nonviolent pursuit of integration championed by Martin Luther King Jr. He urged followers to defend themselves against white aggression “by any means necessary.” Born Malcolm Little, he changed his last name to X to signify his rejection of his “slave” name. Charismatic and eloquent, Malcolm became an influential leader of the Nation of Islam, which combined Islam with Black Nationalism and sought to encourage and enfranchise disadvantaged young blacks searching for confidence in segregated America. After Malcolm X’s death in 1965, his bestselling book “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” popularized his ideas, particularly among black youth, and laid the foundation for the Black Power movement of the late 1960s and 1970s.

And at the assemblies tomorrow, team members will be competing in games for points. For each game, 1st place will earn 50 points, 2nd place will get 25 points, and 3rd place will earn 10 points for the team. So any house could still win the Spirit Stick. Do we know who is playing in the Minute-to-Win- It games at tomorrow’s assemblies?
Not yet….we won’t know until right there at the assembly! If you haven’t removed your name from the list, then your name might be randomly drawn. And if your name is drawn, you must compete, or your team is disqualified from that game. Remember, that you will also get a candy bar as a thank you for competing for your house!
And don’t forget to get your tickets for the basketball game. Or buy one of our 2 dollar discount shirts! All the proceeds will go to the Habitat for Humanity, and we get to see the Rochester Wheels play the teachers. Remember to hold onto your ticket… if you lose it, you have to buy a new one.
Today’s your last day to guess the candy in the jar. We’ll announce the winners tomorrow. And don’t forget to wear your House Colors tomorrow! The color of the shirt is what counts.
And now for today’s trivia question: The answer to yesterday’s question was “The Emerald City”.
Today’s question is…Category- Food
Question: Which fast food restaurant chain once tested bubblegum broccoli as a children’s menu item?
Remember only one representative per homeroom should go to room 119 to enter their results right now!

· We finally had some quiet weather here in Rochester yesterday that saw the winds die down and little snowfall. Will that change today? Spry Meteorologist Jonathan is here with today’s weather to let us know.
· Thanks Jonathan. Today's profile in excellence is on Jesse Owens. Owens emerged as a major track talent while attending high school in Cleveland, Ohio. Later, at Ohio State University, he demonstrated himself to be one of the greatest athletes in the world. In a single day of competition, May 25th, 1935, Owens broke the world records for the 220-yard dash, the 220-yard low hurdles, and the running broad jump, and equaled the world record for the 100-yard dash. The next summer, Owens and 311 other American athletes, including 17 African Americans, traveled to Nazi Germany to represent the United States at the 11th Olympiad.
· At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal of the Games in the 4 by 100-meter relay. His relay team set a new world record of 39.8 seconds, which held for 20 years. In their strong showing in track-and-field events at the 11th Olympiad, Owens and other African American athletes struck a propaganda blow against Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, who planned to use the Berlin Games as a showcase of supposed Aryan superiority.
· The time has come for Spry's musical "Guys and Dolls!" Don't miss your chance to see this great show that's filled with comedy, great songs, and fabulous dancing! Performances are on Friday, March 8th at 7:30 PM and Saturday, March 9th at 2:30 and 7:30 PM. Tickets are 7 dollars and you can buy them online at www.showtix4u.com. Don't wait, we usually sell out!

Also, don't forget about the practice after school on Thursday in the gym; you will be able to take the late bus home.
· Attention all Computer Science Club members: We will be meeting Thursday after school in room 122. See you there!

· Today's profile in excellence is Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali was a heavyweight champion boxer and one of the greatest sporting figures of the 20th century. An Olympic gold medalist, Ali was also outspoken on issues of race, religion and politics. His quips and taunts were as quick as his fists. Born Cassius Clay Jr., Ali changed his name in 1964 after joining the Nation of Islam.
· Citing his religious beliefs, he refused military induction and was stripped of his heavyweight championship and banned from boxing for three years during the prime of his career. Parkinson’s syndrome severely impaired Ali’s motor skills and speech, but he remained active as a humanitarian and goodwill ambassador. His Daughter, Laila Ali, is also a boxer.
· Any 7th grader that participated in the 2nd Washington DC fundraiser, should turn in their order forms and money to the Red House Office today.

· Now we head over to Bizzie, Ava and Connor from Student Council with some information about Spirit Week.
· Hi I’m Bizzie
I’m Ava
And I’m Connor
and we’re student council members that are here to tell you about We’re student council members, and we are here to tell you about Spry spirit week this week! Hope you enjoyed the first day, yesterday, all cozy and at home. So, here's the update. First, Friday Night come to our Spry Charity Basketball Game at Schroeder HS at 7:00PM. We will be selling tickets for 5 dollars during lunch periods all this week beginning today. Spry will be raising money for Habitat for Humanity and also donating some to the Rochester Wheels, who will be competing against the teachers at the game on Friday night.
That should be fun to see! Well, this is a week of House competition: Red vs. White vs. Blue! Last year Red House won the Spirit Stick – they took it away from the Blue House! Let’s see if they get to keep it or if one of the other houses takes it away from them! Blue House already has a head start with 604 points, due to the October, November, and December Dress-up Spirit Days . White House is in second already with 595 points, and Red House is starting with 461 points. The house with the most participation points will win and will be awarded the spirit stick at Friday night's game at Schroeder.
Ooh! Looks like Blue house is going to get that stick back! Sorry Red house!
You never know… Red House will come through. Or maybe White house will!
On Friday, we will be having 3 assemblies: One for 6th grade, one for 7th grade, and one for 8th grade. Students and staff will be able to play Minute-to-Win-It games at each assembly to get points.
How can I sign up to play?
You are already signed up! All students will have their names in the hat. We will be randomly pulling names to come up on stage and play a game for 1 minute -- and we will be giving a candy-bar prize to all the people who play in the Minute-to-Win-it games! If, for some reason, you DON’T want to participate and earn points for your team, you have to remove your name from the list that Student Council members will have outside the cafeteria during lunches today or tomorrow. But be careful… you don’t want to have your House disqualified because there are no players in the game!
There’s lots of other things going on this week to earn points for your House. Each day anyone who dresses according to our theme gets points for their team – both students and staff members. Today is Blue and Gold, so I hope you're wearing your Spry Warrior colors! And tomorrow is Black Out day… wear as much Black as you can!
Also tomorrow, is our Habitat for Humanity Collection day. Let’s make sure to bring in lots of donations tomorrow to fill the bags your teachers and staff members will have. Remember, the house who brings in the most money will earn the most points. And all the money will go to Habitat for Humanity.
We also have our “Guess the Candy in the Jar” contest in the library. Any student or staff member can enter one guess. The closest 3 guesses win points for their houses… and the winning guess gets the candy! The deadline to enter a guess is 2:30 on Thursday.
All week this week, we will give you a trivia question here on the morning show. During Homeroom talk with your classmates and get the answer. Then, send ONE representative from your homeroom to room 119 to complete a ballot. Ballots will be located right outside the door of room 119. Put the ballot in the tin. The first 15 correct answers, pulled at random, will be awarded 5 points for their houses, for a possible total of 75 points per day.
Are you ready for your first trivia question?
Today’s question is… Category- Pop Culture, Question: What is a feline, according to Homer Simpson? Now you can send one person from your homeroom to room 119 to submit the answer.
Finally, Each day this week, we are rolling a die; if it’s an odd number, nothing special happens. If it’s an even number, Student Council will double all the points earned that day. So, Let’s roll the die….
Thank you and now back to Maddie and Analiesse at the news desk.
· Thank you student council, and thanks for tuning in to Spry Today. Have a great day back everyone!

· We actually saw some sunshine yesterday here in Webster. Unfortunately it’s February sunshine so it was still cold. What kind of weather can we expect over the weekend before break? Spry Meteorologist Jonathan is here with the weather report to let us know.
· Thanks Jonathan. Today's profile in excellence is on Condoleezza Rice. Condoleezza Rice is the first black woman to serve as the United States' national security adviser, as well as the first black woman to serve as U.S. Secretary of State. She is a professor at Stanford University, the first female member of Augusta National Golf Club, and even a member of the NCAA college football playoff committee. Dr. Rice says, "I think my father thought I might be president of the United States. I think he would've been satisfied with secretary of state. I'm a foreign policy person and to have a chance to serve my country as the nation's chief diplomat at a time of peril and consequence, that was enough."
· Any 6th or 7th grade boy interested in trying out for the JV golf team please come see Mr. Sabs as soon as possible for more information. Thank you.

· Our weather finally calmed down yesterday with just some harsh winds and that’s about it. Spry guest Meteorologist Anna is here with the weather today report to tell us what’s coming our way.
· Thanks Anna. Today's profile in excellence is on Charles Drew. Charles Drew was a surgeon who pioneered methods of storing blood plasma for transfusion and organized the first large-scale blood bank in the U.S. Dr. Drew developed a method for processing and preserving blood plasma, or blood without cells. Plasma lasts much longer than whole blood, making it possible to be stored or "banked" for longer periods of time. He discovered that the plasma could be dried and then reconstituted when needed. He directed the blood plasma programs of the United States and Great Britain in World War II, but resigned after a ruling that the blood of African-Americans would be segregated.
· In 1941, Drew became frustrated with the military's request for segregating the blood donated by African Americans. At first, the military did not want to use blood from African Americans, but they later said it could only be used for African-American soldiers. Drew was outraged by this racist policy, and resigned his post after only a few months. He went back to teaching at Howard University and later became the chief surgeon at Freedman’s Hospital.

They worked as human computers, completing highly technical, complex mathematical problems such as projecting orbits for Alan Shepard and John Glenn as well as analyzing the performance of the all-important heat shield on the spacecraft’s. Despite their extraordinary abilities, they were discriminated against for both being women and black.
· However, astronauts such as John Glenn respected their abilities and wanted them to check and double check the work of the computers.

· Temperatures started off a bit warm for this time of year yesterday but quickly fell to the low 30’s. Spry Meteorologist Colton is here with the weather report to tell us if the temps will keep falling.
· Thanks Colton. Today's profile in excellence is Rosa Parks. On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order to give up her seat in the "colored section" to a white passenger, after the whites-only section was filled. The campaign lasted from December 5, 1955 to December 20, 1956, when a federal ruling, took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws that segregated buses were unconstitutional.
· Parks' act of defiance and the Montgomery bus boycott became important symbols of the modern Civil Rights Movement. She became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation. She organized and collaborated with civil rights leaders, including Edgar Nixon, president of the local chapter of the NAACP; and Martin Luther King, Jr., a new minister in town who gained national prominence in the civil rights movement.

The Semi-Formal will occur on Friday, January 18th right here in the Spry Auditorium. The dance will start at 7:00 and end at 9:00.
Various snacks will be provided during the dance.
Just remember, make sure you are abiding by the dress code at all times. This is a Semi-Formal, so you are required to dress up.
Girls, if you decide to wear a dress, make sure it is not strapless, that it is an appropriate length, and the straps are an appropriate width or that you have a cover-up.
Ticket sales for the Semi-Formal will begin next week during 8th grade lunches, from Monday, January 14th, through Thursday, January 17th. Tickets cost five dollars per person. You can only buy your own ticket; that means no buying for someone else. Also, purchases after Thursday will not be allowed, so no ticket sales on Friday or at the door.
We hope to see you at the dance! Now to Mr. Powers at the News Desk with information on Warrior Day.

Listen up 8th graders, because this announcement regards our semi-formal dance. This year’s theme will be The Classy Class of 2023, meaning everyone should dress formally.
For the guys, please wear a nice button-down shirt and dress pants. Since T-shirts and sweatpants aren’t classy or formal, avoid them for the dance.
And ladies, please wear a nice dress while following the school dress code. Make sure it has straps, and if it’s a thin strap, then you need something to cover your shoulders, and make sure the skirt comes down to just above the knees.
I bet some of you are wondering if you could help us plan this dance. Those of you who are, today is your lucky day. We are going to be having a photo booth at the dance and we need an 8th grader to help design the backdrop.
If you have a cool or artsy backdrop in mind, please draw and color it on a piece of paper with your full name and bring it to Mrs.Gillen in room W10.
Make sure to bring your design in by Friday the 21st. We won’t accept any late entries.

· A look at your Weather Today report. Yesterday the sky was pretty cloudy and after some early rain, you could feel the warmth start to slip in throughout the day. That warm weather will start to take control of our forecast the next several days as temperatures will get up near 80 degrees today. It should be far less cloudy than it was yesterday, and high pressure should help keep the sun out. Enjoy the late summer weather.
· Now we go over to a few of Mrs. Zaborny’s students to tell us more about an exciting trip.
· All Spanish students, listen up: If you love to have fun and have a distinguished sense of adventure, come to our European trip informational meeting on Monday, September 17th at 6:30 in room 307. Mrs. Zaborny will discuss the itinerary and cost of our super awesome, world-famous trip to Europe! We are starting our Spanish adventures in London, and will visit - and cut across - beautiful France. Then, we will finally arrive in the one and only Spain! This will be the experience of a lifetime! ¡Olé! We will see you on Monday, September 17th at 6:30 in room 307. See or email Mrs. Zaborny with any questions! ¡Hasta luego, muchachos!

· We check your weekend Weather Today report for the first time this school year. In the wake of the cold front that graced Western New York Thursday we’ve saw much lower temperatures and humidity levels. It will stay that way today as temperatures reach the upper 70’s under a sunny sky. Those warm temps disappear for a few days as Saturday and Sunday won’t make it out of the 60’s, something we haven’t seen in months. It will feel fall like, but that may change next week. If you’re waiting for it to cool down and stay that way, you might be waiting a bit longer.

· A look at your Weather Today report, thank goodness all of the heat and humidity we’ve been dealing with the past few days is gone, and it feels more comfortable out there. Temperatures reached 94 degrees yesterday and we all felt it. Today it will feel a lot better with temps staying in the mid 70’s with much lower humidity levels. Hopefully that cooling effect takes place in our building too as much needed relief is here. Analiesse?
