Legend of the candy cane
by bella woodard 6th grade
Years ago, a candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a special candy for Christmas, and wanted it to symbolize the meaning of Christmas
He started out with a stick of pure white hard candy, to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus; and the hardness to symbolize the solid rock, the foundation of the church; and firmness to represent the promise of God.
The candy maker then made the candy into the shape of a “J” to represent the name of Jesus. He thought it could also represent the staff of the Good Shepherd, with which he reached down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, had gone astray.
Thinking the candy was somewhat plain, he stained it with red stripes. He used three red small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received, by which we are healed. The large red stripe was to represent the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.
The legend of the candy cane still lives on, but most don't know about it. Most people just think it's candy, but the true meaning is still there, as for the meaning of Christmas.

Four good books to read during the fall
by Mercedes Briggs & Naomi Falk 7th grade
As the fall winds down and it gets colder now is a good time to settle on the couch and read a good book. Here are four great reads to read during the fall:
Daphne, once alive long ago, was a house slave at Laurel Oaks plantation owned by Judge Nethercott. She was accused of poisoning the Judge’s wife and kids and met her end after being hung and thrown into the Mississippi river. Now she waits, she waits for someone to find the truth and set her spirit free. Is Lila the one?
2. Harry Potter: The Chamber of Secrets

Harry is eager to get back to Hogwarts but as he starts packing his bags an odd elf comes to warn him to not got back to Hogwarts, but why? According to the elf if Harry returns disaster will strike.
The elf was right, not only does Harry have to deal with a new annoying, self-centered professor, and a spirit that haunt the girls bathroom, but someone is turning student to stone and know one knows who it is.

3. The Mysterious Benedict Society
The Mysterious Benedict Society is a good book to read. It is about four kids. They are hired to work for a man named Mr. Benedict. Mr. Benedict sends them to a place where they have to track down Mr. Curtain. The kids have to find a way to defeat Mr. Curtain and his mysterious machine. In the meantime, they find out an interesting fact about Mr. Curtain and Mr. Benedict. While they are working to defeat Mr. Curtain, the kids find out a lot about each other’s pasts, and become friends. The kids have to participate in Mr. Curtain’s “school.” In that school, the teachers are always talking about the word “live,” which the kids figured out that when you spell it backwards, it spells “evil.” They become upper level students, and they face the machine... After their mission ended, (you’ll have to read the book to see if it was successful or not), they find out that Mr. Benedict has even more in store for them….this book has a series following it, and they are just as good as the original! You should read The Mysterious Benedict Society because it has many surprises and a mystery!
4. Wonder
The book Wonder is a very good book, and if you haven’t read it, you should. It is about a kid named August. He has trouble getting used to his new school because when he was born, his face was deformed. He is still a normal kid, though. He makes one friend. Throughout the school year, he tries to convince the other kids that he is still a normal kid. Wonder is a good book to read because it shows that you should always be nice to everyone. Also, people are always going to judge you, but you shouldn’t pay too much attention to what other people think of you. Wonder is a great book, and I really recommend reading it!
