Here We Go Again!
Written by Songbird
Wow here we go again! We are at the beginning of yet another semester at Cornerstone Co-op. Last semester seemed to fly by and before we knew it we were already done and heading into Christmas break. But now Christmas break is over and it's time to get back in to school. The good thing though is that with the beginning of school also brings the beginning of second semester at Co-op! And as you all know when Co-op resumes so does the Cornerstone Gazette. If you have kept up with our blog (http://cornerstone-gazette.blogspot.com/)over the break you know that the Cornerstone Gazette staff is officially off of break and has been working hard to bring this first issue of the Cornerstone Gazette to you all today! We have a lot of fun working together each week creating each and every issue with all the latest Co-op news inside. We hope that you all enjoy reading the Cornerstone Gazette as much as we enjoy creating it for you. Remember that you can always catch up on the latest news on our blog, follow us on twitter (Twitter.com/Cornrstone_Gzt), and can e-mail us with any questions, ideas, or concerns, at (Cornerstone.Gazette@Gmail.com) I hope you all had a Merry Christmas but school is now back in session and so is the Cornerstone Gazette!
Remember The Rules
Written by Songbird
Hey Everyone! Just a quick reminder since we have been out for a few weeks now. Remember that unless you are in the covered area in front of the church you need an adult with you outside anywhere else.(not that you would want to go out there since it is so cold right now) Also remember to keep your food over the tarps by the tables set up for eating lunches and not on the couches. The church is very considerate for allowing us to have Co-op in there church so please remember to respect the building and the Co-op rules. For the rest of the rules you can read the Cornerstone Co-op handbook. Also please remember to arrive to Co-op early so you can be in your classes on time. This is a courtesy not only to the teacher but also to your fellow classmates. I hope you all had a great Christmas break and I know this is going to be another amazing semester at Cornerstone Co-op! : )
Movie Review: Puss In Boots
Written by Songbird
The movie Puss In Boots tells the “tail” of the life and childhood of Puss In Boots. Puss began life as a lonely tabby taken in by an orphanage. He quickly became friends with another young fellow outcast named Humpty Dumpty. He made his way in life sharing Humpty's dreams of someday finding magic beans and climbing a beanstalk to a golden egg kingdom in the sky. One day Puss heroically saved an endangered person and earned his boots as a symbol of honor and bravery. However, one choice pulled the friends apart and caused Puss to be wrongly accused of being a criminal. Puss learned to live his life with with only his sword and his boots. One day he meets a thief named Kitty Softpaws she is beautiful and talented and shares his desire to find and plant the legendary beans. What Puss doesn't know is that she is working for Humpty Dumpty! And that begins the adventure that takes Puss and his friends to the golden egg kingdom in the sky. From early on Puss is known as a good guy. He was raised by his adoptive mother Imelda who taught him right and wrong. Puss is known to stand up for his friends and risks his life to save an old woman, Kitty, and even Humpty who betrayed him. Puss and his friends must fight to steal the magic beans from the evil Jack and Jill who are keeping the magic beans so that they can steal the golden goose. Puss manages to steal the beans and plant them and he and his friends climb the beanstalk to the golden kingdom and steal the golden goose. Later we uncover that in a heist that Humpty and Puss pulled as children Humpty left Puss to take all of the blame and Puss had been an outlaw the rest of his life. In the end Humpty gives up his life to protect the town and save the golden goose. Humpty's outer shell shatters leaving a solid inner golden egg behind. “I always knew you were good inside.” Puss says and forgives Humpty. Puss in Boots is an action packed fun “tail” that gives a character-driven, intelligent story which dares us all to earn our own boots for our own acts of heroism and attempts to do the right thing. In my opinion Puss In Boots is a great movie that the whole family can enjoy!
