Student Council’s Annual 3K Run/Walk Event

Don’t Quit When You Are Tired! Stop When You Have Finished!

Wednesday, May 6, 2020

Castle North Middle School’s Student Council will be sponsoring our

annual school-wide 3K walk/run event in order to promote making

healthy choices on Wednesday, May 6, 2020.

This year’s theme is “Don’t quit when you’re tired. Stop when

you’re done.” During our event, we will inspire our students, staff, and

their families to develop lifelong and healthy habits. Our 3K event is an

exciting and fun-filled day of exercise and fitness education where

CNMS and the community come together to consider current choices

we are making and how we can make better choices to improve our

overall health.

However, this cannot happen without help from our community. Alt-

hough we are in need of donations of all kinds, we are in great need of

donations for t-shirts. Every year, we provide each student and staff

member with a shirt that each person wears the day of our event. We

are very proud of the unity we have toward evaluating our personal

choices and helping each other form goals of making healthier choices.

Students continue to wear these shirts throughout the year both in

school and in the community. However, we do not have funding to pro-

vide these shirts. As a result, we are asking our community members

and families to please help us with this. Any donation toward our efforts

would help immensely and be much appreciated. Because we are in

need of much funding, if your business or your family would be willing

to make a donation of $300 or more, we will place your business name

or family name on the back of each shirt as a way of showing our ap-

preciation for your generosity.

We also are in need of donations for bottled water, fruit pops, door priz-

es, and awards. If you would be willing to offer assistance, please con-

tact Ms. Killebrew (skillebrew@warrick.k12.in.us) or Mrs.Bourgeois

(mbourgeois@warrick.k12.in.us).

Trouble in Paradise Junction

Join us for this year's play called Trouble

in Paradise Junction! The play tells of a small town that

seems too good to be true... No one gets sick, the toma-

toes are as big as beach balls, everyone is willing to help

each other... When a Hollywood producer stumbles into

town and hears of the "magic" of Paradise Junction, she

decides to shoot a reality show there. A TV Crew and

host is sent to Paradise Junction and finds that everyone

gets along too well so cleverly edits the footage and cre-

ates a "reality show" show called Paradise Lost. Will the

people of Paradise Junction give in to the fame that Holly-

wood may bring? Join us and see!

The shows will be Friday, February 21 at 6:30 pm

and Saturday, February 22 at 6:30 pm in Gym B.

Tickets cost $7 for students and $10 for adults. You

may purchase tickets beginning Tuesday, February

Percy Jackson and the

Olympians: The Lightning Thief

By Rick Riordan

A great and suspenseful read is the

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

series. In The Lightning Thief by

Rick Riordan, twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is

a troubled kid. He has been kicked out of many

boarding schools because of strange events

happening to him. Percy hopes to finish this

year at Yancy Academy, where he goes to

school. He is on a field trip to the Metropolitan

Museum of Art with his sixth grade class and

his best friend Grover. But when something bi-

zarre happens to him, Percy finds himself in

mortal danger. He winds up going to Camp

Half-Blood, where he discovers that the Greek

gods and goddesses are real, and his unknown

dad is one of them. Percy finds out that he has

been framed by Zeus to have stolen the master

bolt, Zeus’ main source of power. He goes on

an epic quest to clear his name, making new

friends and enemies. If you like stories with hu-

mor, adventure, action, and betrayal, check out

The Lightning Thief today.
