Mr. Hogan by Olivia
Mr. Hogan began teaching because he likes working with kids, and he has been teaching for 27 years. All 27 have been at Riverview. He still finds teaching rewarding after all these years. Two students liked Shel Silverstein and would get to say one poem in front of the class by memory. His students have taught him to stay young and have a sense of humor. The biggest chal-lenges facing teachers is the large class size and balancing the teach-er-child ratio. Also, changes in the students’ backgrounds have offered challenges, as have higher expectations with less time.
“Work hard, play hard, dream…believe…do!” These words are hanging in Mr. Hogan’s class-room and are his advice to all stu-dents.

It`s Another Christmas
Charlie Brown Part 2 It was time for the play. Charlie Brown and the
gang were nervous. He told them to be there around 5:30
at night, so most of them were there. When they got there
Charlie Brown had a baseball bat in his hand, and was
pointing to people. He said, “Sally do this and Lucy do
that.”
Then the doors were opened and people were
coming in. People were practicing their lines. “Hark, Hark,
Hark, “said Sally.
When it started, it was terrible. The kings walked
while Mary and Joseph were walking. Then the manger got
set up while the sheep were dancing. “Ahhh,” said Charlie
Brown “I forgot we were really bad at acting.”
Then it was Sally`s turn, “Baseball bat!”
“Baseball bat?” said the gang.
Right on stage Sally said…”I said baseball bat. Why
did I say baseball bat? I was supposed to say Hark and not
hockey stick or baseball bat! Now everyone hates me.”
Then the play was over.
.
“That was the worst play ever,” said Charlie Brown.
“Maybe they should not cast Sally next time,” said
Linus
“Ohh my sweet baboon,” said Sally.
“I am not your sweet baboon,” said Linus
Than Linus said, “Happy New Year Charlie Brown.”
“Thanks,” said Charlie Brown.
Then Lucy came up and said… “You blockhead”!

My ultimate snow
gear by Hayley
My coat would be a black fuzzy Northface
with heaters on the inside. Then there would be a
button that pulls out hot cocoa and chicken noo-
dle soup. Inside the hood there would be a button
that pulls out a mirror to fix my hair.
My snow boots would have a toe heater
and a mini Segway so when I’m sledding I don’t
have to walk all the way up the hill again.
a
My ultimate ski gear would include a ski
coat that has a button, and when you press
the pink button, hot chocolate pops out of the
back of your ski coat. Then your ski helmet will
throw marshmallows into the hot chocolate
and top it with whipped cream and sprinkles. J
J Then a robot will feed it to you if you want
when you press a green button. But that’s not
all…. If you can’t get up the mountain be-
cause there is a long wait, with the ultimate skis
they can take you back up the mountain in
three seconds. That is my ultimate ski gear.

It’s a coat that will warn you about the weather
and equip you for it! Just put it on and you get a
weather update!
Here’s some examples: when it’s raining you get a
rain coat and an umbrella. When it’s raining you
get some snow boots and a heavy jacket.

It looked like the Cardinals were going to
win it was 20 to 13. Then a few plays
later with just a few seconds left Rodgers ran to
the side and chucked a Hail Mary as he was fall-
ing down. Janis ran from about the 10 yard line
into the end zone just as he caught the Hail Mary
from Rodgers.
Into Overtime During the first coin flip they said that the
coin did not flip at all. Once the Cardinals re-
ceived the ball they through the ball to Fitzgerald
and he ran to
about the 5 yard
line. The next
play they
through it again to
Fitzgerald for the
touchdown. The an-
nouncer said
who better to give it to than Fitzgerald that was
an amazing play. In the end Arizona beat Green

Interview of Alex Lowry by Abbie Virts
When did you begin playing your sport?
1. I began playing softball when I
was 6 years old, I played on my
older sister's team. I started play-
ing on a little league team and
also an ASA team.
What are your inspirations and
aspirations?
2. My inspiration always came
from watching older athletes who
played before me. One of those
athletes being my older sister, who I looked up to. I aspire
to be a great softball player on the field, but an even better
person off the field. I want to become a teacher and a
coach, I enjoy helping younger athletes develop their skills
and a love for the game.
What challenges have you faced?
3. A recent challenge I have faced, was my junior year in
college my arm kept getting really sore after games and
practices. I got it looked at and found I had torn the liga-
ment in my elbow, which required me to have a surgery
they call Tommy Johns. It was a big challenge for me to
overcome, because I would have to sit out
1st 2nd 3rd 4th
Green Bay 0 6 7 7
Arizona 7 0 3 10
for 12 months and miss a season of softball. It also meant a lot of
hard work and rehab to get back to my level of play for the next
season. Before my surgery I played short stop which required a
lot of throwing, after surgery I had to move to outfield because it
was better for my arm. This was a hard transition for me but I
wanted to do what was best for my team.
What routines do you follow?
4. A typical day for myself and my softball team includes 6 am
conditioning workouts 3 to 4 days a week. The team lifts 3 days a
week and we have practice 5 to 6 days a week for 2 to 3 hours.
To be the best player I can be I also get a workout in on my own
most weekdays.
Some things I do in my training that contribute to my success is
set goals for myself everyday going into practice. I like to have
specific things to work on each day to better myself, and also I
ask my teammates and coaches for feedback and instruction.
There is always room for improvement!
What have you learned about teamwork?
5. I've learned that teamwork is essential to my team's success. I
consider my softball team family, we might not all be the best of
friends off the field but on the field we always come together
and have each others backs. It's difficult sometimes because
when your on a team you might be competing for a spot against
one of your teammates, but it is so important to play as a team
and support each other. When I have difficulties with teammates
I either address the situation right away because I am a captiain,
or sometimes try to ignore it because I don't like drama.
I have felt pressured by my coaches and my parents. I try so hard
to be the best I can be for my coaches and my parents and I
don't want to let them down. I feel like the pressure I've felt has
been good, because it pushes me to work harder. Occasionally it
is hard for me to not let that pressure get in my head. Softball is
a mental game, and if you don't keep that pressure in perspec-
tive and clear your mind it might get in the way of how you per-
form on game days.
I've learned a lot about my own endurance being a college ath-
lete. I've learned that I can push my self harder than I think
sometimes.
The roll of my parents is a big one. Ever since I started softball
they have spent lots of evenings, weekends, and summers taking
me around the state to compete in the sport I love. They are at
every game cheering me on and are my biggest fans!
What words of advice or encouragement do you have to share
with younger athletes?
6. Some advice I have for younger athletes is, enjoy the time you
have with your teammates and coaches because it goes by fast.
Athletics gives you a chance to develop friendships with athletes
and coaches from around the state and country. It teaches you
hard work, teamwork, dedication, and adversity. Have fun and
work hard at everything you do!

A.M. I woke up to go to Hawaii. We got ready
then we picked up my grandparents, and off
to the airport we were. At six o’clock we
boarded the aircraft. When we took off we
were on our way to the Seattle-Tacoma Inter-
national Airport. On our way to Kahului Inter-
national Airport we flew in a Boeing 737-900.
The 900 means it has 4 life rafts in the top of
the cabin. There is also a Boeing 737-800.
The 800 means it has 3 life rafts in the top of
the cabin. We got to Hawaii and got our car
then we went to Costco-complete pandemo-
nium-to get our food. Then we drove to our
condo we got to our room, put our stuff away
then off to the beach. In Hawaii the climate
was mild and rainy. On new years we went to
my uncle’s wedding. After that we went on a
dinner cruise. The rest of the days we either
hung out at the beach or went shopping. We
also went fishing and saw whales. We left at
10:30 pm. We got to the Portland Oregon in-
ternational airport than of back to Seattle.
We were at Seattle for five hours. When we
got back home I was glad to be safe.
