When it reopens, hopefully certain Magnet students will stay considerate of their trash and mess produced during lunch.

The removal of trees commenced construction for the new Acworth-Kennesaw Regional Library on the corner of Blue Springs Road and Old 41 Highway. “I was pained to see all the trees go. I know what the purpose was for, and overall, I think it is going to be a good thing provided they have a well-managed landscape. It would be a really cool thing if Greenhouse Gang got involved with whoever is doing the designing, and maybe be able to keep a few native trees and plants,” sponsor for NC’s Greenhouse Gang club Ms. Aughey said.

An announcement canceling NCs yearly Spirit Bus, for the second year in a row, aired this morning during the announcements. Administration cancelled the trip due to an underwhelming number of students who signed up to ride the bus to the football game against Campbell high school on Friday, August 31. “I think the whole aspect of community spirit is being challenged. People are becoming more self-contained. It’s a shame that peoples drive to participate in events like this is being eaten away,” Latin teacher Mr. Browning said.

Students happily enjoyed their first three hour school day of the semester. These county-wide half days emerged last year, allowing teachers time to meet with other educators in the area and discuss lesson plans and test scores. While teachers stayed after the last bell rang at 11:30, students used the extra time to catch up on homework, take a nap, or hang out with friends.

Half-day happiness
