RYMM SWIM MEET!!!

I had an awesome swim meet in Regina on the weekend. I got first in my 50 FR and a 3rd,4th ,9th and 13th. It was really fun. We swam all day and I got 4 AA times and 1 A time. That is one of the best things you can do!!!! I now qualify to go to PWI in Winnipeg and to go to PA for a swim meet, but they are both in the same weekend. So, I had to pick. But my mom and dad won't let me go to either. UGHHHHH!!! Tee hee hee!!!

It comes 3 times a year and most of us don't like it...

What comes 3 times a school year and most students don't like it???? Parent Teacher INTERVIEWS!!!! Yes... it was that time of year, Parent Teacher Interview season. Yes most of us don't like it , but I partially liked it. I got NO complaints and NO comments. So it was good. I can't believe it but it was one of the best interviews I've had.... Amazing, hey??

Come and Get It!!! I'm In the Paper!!!

Hey everybody!! Here is a bit of an article from the Times Herald today with a picture of me swimming Butterfly- Ha Ha:

It wouldn’t seem possible to do better than a slate of personal best times, but four swimmers from the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Flying Fins did that recently. The Fins swimmers not only posted personal bests in every swim, but they collected a series of A and AA times as well.

“As a coach I was quite impressed. I got goose bumps. It was an awesome performance,” said Fins coach Monty S. “For the first meet of the season I was quite impressed with all of our performances there.”

Lauran A., Joyce A., Sadie S. and Keegan E. all attended the Swift Current provincial B qualifier two weeks ago. Since the Beijing Olympic Games, Swim Canada has adjusted their benchmark times — newly re-named A and AA — to reflect advancements in competition. “Not only is Saskatchewan changing, but other provinces too, we’re trying to get on the same board as Swim Canada and they’ve released a new set of times since the Beijing Olympics,” said Monty.

PS I got silver in my 200IM!!!

Swift Current Swim Meet!!!!

Guess What?????? I am a total swim diva!!!!! I got 4th in my 400m FR and I find out what I got in my 200m IM in a rewards ceremony in Regina some time soon. Plus another thing....... I have a swim meet in Regina on the weekend!!!!!! Yay!! I'm swimming all my 50's and my 200m FR!!!! Oh yeah!!!

Bullying Bites!!!! Don't Go For It!!!!

Have you ever been bullied??????? I have!!!! Last year at my old school, I got bullied everyday..... And that is something I DO NOT and WILL NOT joke about. There are three types of bullying: Verbal, Social and Physical. I, being someone who was in the victim's position went how many days when it was just my friend and I. but because she was hanging out with me she got bullied too. So when she left me I had a mental and physical breakdown. Not kidding....... The worst part is, the teachers didn't do anything about it! They just said:
" Just tell them to stop and it will all go away." or " come back to me when it happens again." That isn't my idea of what I would want a teacher to do or say. You'd think that a teacher would try to do something....... but at least it's over now that I moved schools.
Big Idea: I moved because of it. I couldn't handle it anymore. It lasted three years!!!!!
Another BIG idea: DON'T BULLY!!! STAND UP!!!!!

Rememberance Day

Today at school we had our Remembrance Day Ceremony. Lexy and Cortni signed O Canada while we were singing. A man from the Legion came and talked about WW1 and WW2. Then the choir sang three songs. We sang God Save The Queen. It was really nice. Lots of sitting and standing but nice.......

Mrs. Lothian and Career Building!!!!!!

Yesterday Mrs. Lothian, the career building consultant, came to show us about Bridges. Bridges is about showing kids about jobs and building your career. We all took a crazy little test. It was about how some jobs are just a little to goofy....... like Celebrity Squirrel Chauffeur. Then we took a realistic quiz that gave you some jobs you'd be good at. My top three favorites were:

1. Journalist

2. Sports Agent

3. News Anchor

But I would really like to go to the Olympics with my swimming!!!!

Leaf Art!!!

In class we made Leaf Art from tracing leaves onto paper. Then you had to put little circles on the inside to make it look like little molecules. It got pretty annoying. But we are done now..... YAY!!

Arthur Slade the Author!!

Today Arthur Slade came and told us about all of his books, how they got published and all that jazz. It was really crazy how many books he wrote and then finally someone published one. We are now ready his book Jolted. It's about a boy who's family is cursed by lightning. In the book Newton (the main character) goes to the Gerry Potts Academy of Survival and Learning in Moose Jaw, SK. It's a very good book so far, but it can get boring at some points.

P.S. the tin foil hats have to do with the book Jolted. I am still wearing my little tiara. I'm addicted to it!!!

Halloween Dance!!!!

On Oct. 31st we had our rockin' Halloween dance. It was SO much fun!!!!! I loved it like I Love Ice Cream. And I really would have had to like it alot to say that. The music was really good too. I think my favourite part was dancing in the snowball with Teigan. It was fun and funny at the same time.....
