Modern Day Super Heroes?
Written by Songbird
One Saturday night in Seattle Fabio Heuring was standing outside of a restaurant with a friend when an enraged man ran right into them. For no apparent reason the man began to beat up Heuring's friend. Then out of the blue swooped in a strange sight, a self appointed super hero in a black mask and muscle suit sprayed the enraged man with pepper spray much to Heuring's surprise and relief. Strangely enough these self appointed super heroes have been popping up all over the globe fighting crime and helping out citizens even with every day tasks. From the United States to Hong Kong these modern day super heroes are hitting the streets and helping those in need. A few examples are, Polarman from Canada helps others by shoveling snow, trying to stop vandalism, and cleaning play grounds. Super Vadclav from the Czech Republic douses cigarette smokers with water and attacks dog owners who don't pick up after their dogs. Red Arrow from Hong Kong hands out gifts and shields people with umbrellas. Citizen Prime from the United States distributes literature and attempts to get the community involved with fighting crime. All these heroes donned in tights, boots, masks, and capes live there day to day lives ready for action at any moment and ready to help there fellow citizens. However, even though these self appointed heroes are intending there actions to be heroic unfortunately some of there actions are also illegal. But, what these men and women don't realize is that you don't need a cape or mask or another identity to be a hero. You can be a hero to your friends, your family, and even people you don't know. You can donate to a charity, give your time to someone in need, and so much more to be a hero in their eyes. No tights necessary!

Winter Fun Facts!

Since we are officially now into winter we have had some snow (thankfully not to much) and the weather is cold out I thought to get us all into the mood for winter I would share some interesting facts about winter with you.
1) No two snowflakes are alike.
2) The tallest snowman ever built was 113 feet 7 inches tall. Named Angus and made in Bethel Maine in 1999.
3) The world's tallest snowwoman was also made in Bethel Maine but in 2008. The snowwoman stood 122 feet 1 inch tall.
4) The largest snowflake recorded in the Guinness World Book of Records fell in Montana and was 15 inches wide.
5) Average snowflakes fall at a rate of 3 feet per second.
6) Winter ends on March 19th.
7) The record for the most snow angels at one time was set in Ontario Canada in 2004 when a couple of schools joined to create 15,851 snow angels.
8) Billions of snowflakes fall during a snow storm.
9) Ice is a mineral.
10) It doesn't have to be 32(degrees Fahrenheit) outside to snow.
Christmas Break
Written by @ l ; n @
My favorite part of Christmas break was getting together with family. However, Christmas break is now over and it's time to get back into the swing of things. I'm glad to be back to co-op, and a little less glad to be back to school. ;-) We hope you had a good first day of co-op last week!
