<strong>What</strong> to be<br />

Thankful For<br />

by Tylyn Decker<br />

THORNBURG - In recent times,<br />

most people are thankful for hav<strong>in</strong>g<br />

wifi on their phones or the magical<br />

ability to completely ignore every<br />

s<strong>in</strong>gle word a teacher says dur<strong>in</strong>g a<br />

class period. Along with teachers,<br />

some even more important th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

are ignored, like be<strong>in</strong>g thankful that<br />

our parents even let us out of our<br />

house, or that our chores are limited<br />

to only a few gruel<strong>in</strong>g hours, rather<br />

than a lifetime of torture. So, this<br />

holiday season, make sure to tell<br />

the people that you care about that<br />

you’re actually thankful that they’ve<br />

put up with you for so long.<br />

Crazy About Eggs<br />

Trivia of the<br />

Week<br />

by Tylyn Decker<br />

THORNBURG - So, we all know<br />

that ridiculous scene at the end of<br />

Titanic where Rose is lay<strong>in</strong>g on a<br />

door and Jack is cl<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g helplessly<br />

to the edge of it while they both float<br />

around aimlessly <strong>in</strong> a glacier filled<br />

ocean. And then, when Jack f<strong>in</strong>ally<br />

falls to his watery grave and Rose<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ds a whistle on a dead man, we<br />

th<strong>in</strong>k to ourselves, well, if Jack was<br />

part porcup<strong>in</strong>e, he wouldn’t have<br />

sunk! Well, not everyone th<strong>in</strong>ks<br />

that, but you would if you know that<br />

porcup<strong>in</strong>es could float due to their<br />

quills be<strong>in</strong>g hollow.<br />

by Shelly Andre<br />

THORNBURG - Jennifer Loudermilk, “The Egg Lady”, came to our school<br />

to give our students “egg-ucational” programs about eggs. Jennifer works<br />

for the Iowa Egg Council and travels around to educate people about eggs.<br />

She presents many age appropriate programs to from Pre-k to Adult. The<br />

k<strong>in</strong>dergarden, first, and second grades learned about Parts of an Egg. Third<br />

and fourth grades found out about the process eggs go through from the<br />

Hen to the Home. Fifth and sixth grades saw a Melodrama deal<strong>in</strong>g with<br />

Nutrition. Seventh and eighth grades heard Questions and Answers about<br />

the Egg Industry. The high school FCS students had General food prep. and<br />

Advanced food prep. And the best th<strong>in</strong>g about the visit was that Jennifer<br />

prepared someth<strong>in</strong>g for everyone to try from recipes she left for the students<br />

to take home. It was an “egg-cellent” program and we hope Jennifer can<br />

come aga<strong>in</strong>.<br />

NHS Holds Essay Contest<br />

To cont<strong>in</strong>ue the theme of honor<strong>in</strong>g veterans, the National Honor Society<br />

members spoke to the elementary students about the significance of the day<br />

and what it means to be an American. Afterwards, the PreK-3rd graders<br />

were <strong>in</strong>vited to participate <strong>in</strong> a color<strong>in</strong>g contest, while the upper elementary<br />

students took part <strong>in</strong> an essay contest. The w<strong>in</strong>ners, whose essays are featured<br />

below, were: Myrissa Garber, Miranda Little, and Dillon Ehret.<br />

Veteran’s Day Essay<br />

by Dillon Ehret<br />

My grandpa served <strong>in</strong> World War II and had a lot of friends that died <strong>in</strong><br />

that war. He tells me a lot of stories and I th<strong>in</strong>k I learn more from him than a<br />

movie or a book. I feel like he has experienced someth<strong>in</strong>g big, see<strong>in</strong>g people<br />

dy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> front of him. I th<strong>in</strong>k if you have a veteran you should respect them<br />

and notice what they went through. A veteran to me I th<strong>in</strong>k is someone who<br />

served for the military. A veteran is also someone who served and got our<br />

rights <strong>in</strong> 1776. You should respect veterans because they got your rights of<br />

freedom. Some countries do not have that, so be respectful and if you want<br />

to learn more, you can ask your veteran. You can serve <strong>in</strong> the war and be a<br />

veteran, if you want to do that you have to go through tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g. Also if you<br />

want to be one treat a veteran how you want to be treated, and realize what a<br />

veteran goes through, watch<strong>in</strong>g friends die before your eyes, know<strong>in</strong>g what<br />

might happen to you, know<strong>in</strong>g that you might not see your family for a long,<br />

long time. A veteran also respects the flag. You need to learn that a veteran<br />

does a lot and some people do not realize that. They go through tough times<br />

and they might be mad at times and know that they might not come back.<br />

Be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a war when you have a kid might be really hard on you your wife<br />

and your kid. You might not have a veteran <strong>in</strong> your family but you can still<br />

respect them a ndthank them for all they have done for you. They might not<br />

have come back, they might have, either way, they are veterans who have<br />

earned us rights.<br />

The Importance of Veteran’s Day<br />

by Myrissa Garber<br />

The importance of Veteran’s Day to me is honor<strong>in</strong>g all the Veterans and<br />

troops out there serv<strong>in</strong>g our country and fight<strong>in</strong>g for our freedom. They are<br />

out there risk<strong>in</strong>g their lives for us and that’s very courageous.<br />

Serv<strong>in</strong>g our country is no easy task. The harsh weather, the fear of the<br />

unknown, and watch<strong>in</strong>g their fellow soldiers die and get wounded has to be<br />

difficult. To add to that stress, they are also separated from their families.<br />

Be<strong>in</strong>g so far away from those you love cannot be easy.<br />

Veteran’s Day is also a great time to thank the soldiers’ families, because<br />

they also have a lot to deal with. These people also need our love and support<br />

to get through the days, weeks and months that their loved ones are so far<br />

away.<br />

So many times we take for granted the freedoms, rights, and peace our<br />

veteran’s have given us and will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to give us. We all need to take a<br />

moment of our busy lives, not only on Veteran’s Day, but every day to thank<br />

those who have done so much for us.<br />

Why I’m Glad to Be an American<br />

By Miranda Little<br />

I am glad to be an American because <strong>in</strong> America we are free to do what we<br />

want. We can pick our own job and choose what we sell. In other countries<br />

the government tells you what you sell, how much you sell and when to<br />

sell, and also who to sell it to. I’m also glad cause the soldiers <strong>in</strong> Iran, Iraq,<br />

and Afghanistan fight for us. America has good schools and good teachers.<br />

My dad has a friend that used to ride fourwheelers with us that fought <strong>in</strong><br />

Afghanistan. I feel bad for people <strong>in</strong> Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan who fight<br />

and risk their lives for the people <strong>in</strong> America. Soldiers are so brave.<br />
