College Awareness Contest by Brody

Attention ESMS students! 

Starting March 23rd, we will be holding a college awareness contest. Students will be asked to 
find a staff member that went to a certain college(s) such as UCM, MSU, etc. The college mascot is 
on the name plack outside each staff member’s door.  The student will come to make a guess to 
Ms.Travis what staff member went to the college(s). If they are right, they get to pick college 
memorabilia, but be careful, you only get one guess. If no student guesses which staff member, 
that staff member gets to pick a prize. This contest will go one until we run out of staff members.  

Good luck on finding out what staff member went to what college!

The Testing

The Testing is a science fiction book by Joelle Charbonneau. In The 
Testing a girl named Cia from 5 Lakes Colony and some of her friends 
get chosen from their graduating class to go to Tosu City to be tested to 
go to the university. But, what will the test be like? Just paper tests? Or 
something else….. I recommend you read this book if you like science
 fiction or mysteries. If you have read the series The Hunger Games and 
enjoyed it I also recommend you read this book. By Josie

Allies

     Allies is a book about a U.S soldier named Dee who took part in D-Day with his friend, Sid, by 
his side. It took a lot of bravery to get to the seawall. Would he get pelted by a storm of German 
bullets or would be the lucky soldier to make it? Samara is a child who is on her own after her mother 
got caught helping a family escape. She has to help deliver a message to the Resistance with a 
companion named Cyrano. She wants to save her mother, but will she in time? Henry, a medic, 
was running around to save his fellow soldiers that lay on the beach. He only could save a few at 
a time. Would he rescue them in time, or would he watch them die in his arms? So many things 
to do with such limited time. Alliesis packed with action. It is also about WWII and its historical fiction. 
If you like stuff like that, this book is for you. You can find it in the Historical Fiction section in the 
learning commons. That's all for now. Bye! :) by Cameron

 Because of Mr. Terupt

By : Lundyn 

I recommended this book “because of Mr.Terupt” by Rob Buyea because it really inspired 
me by the way I think of people. It is kind of a sentimental book but it can be a mystery 
sometimes. This book is about kids in fifth grade with an awesome teacher. There are a 
total of 7 kids Jessica (new kid) Alexia (the bully) Peter (troublemaker) Luke (smart kid) 
Danielle (shy kid) Anna (outcast) Jeffery (hates school) with their own little secrets. Their 
teacher Mr. Terupt changes them into a better person and makes the classes fun. They 
have a cool program where if they have a good day they put a link then they get a free 
day. They finally got a free day after a good 27 days and decided they would go outside 
and have some fun in the snow…well there was an accident.

Last week we had the NWEA. I did pretty good one the nwea. 
Thunderbird has had a test in ela and ss. 

We have half day Thursday and no school Friday. On Thursday 
we have career day.  We are going to have all different careers 
coming. 

Well that’s all for today bye.

Career Day by Katie

This Thursday is a half day! But not only that but we are also having career day that day! 
That is when some parents come in and share about their jobs! My dad is going to come in too! 
Some other parents are going to come in too to help explain their jobs. Career day is also on a half
 day but it is also said to be cold, so bundle up. Career day could also be cancelled but I hope not
 because it really is enjoyable. It can be fun to hear about future job ideas and keep an open mind to
 your future. That is what Career day wishes to teach us after all. So make sure to keep an open mind 
and you may find your new dream job to work towards!
