Goodbye!

Hey Everyone!
Wow! I cannot believe that Co-op is now officially over! It's crazy and it seemed to end so quickly...honestly this semester went by so quickly! It's so sad because That was my very last showcase EVER! I am graduating this May so I will no longer be at Co-op and I will no longer be running the Cornerstone Gazette. This showcase was so bittersweet because I am sooo excited to graduate and to be finished...but also I am so sad to be leaving my friends, teachers, Co-op and the Cornerstone Gazette. I hope that you all have an amazing summer and amazing lives! I hope to stay in contact with as many of you as I can. Even though I am moving on with my life I hope that the Cornerstone Gazette will continue even once I am gone. I hope that someone will pick it up where I left off and will continue the Gazette now that I have left. I know that God has an amazing plan for each one of your lives and I hope that you all choose to follow Him with all of your hearts. If you love God more than anything in this world nothing else matters. I am leaving for now but hey who knows maybe you will see me again sometime in the future! : ) Have a great day guys! : )
So for one last time...
Live, Love, Laugh Songbird =(<)>

Who Is Songbird?
Written by Songbird

Wow, I cannot believe that the Cornerstone Gazette has been up and running for two solid years now. I remember vividly in 2010 I was at a friends house and that was where this whole idea began. I came up with the idea that our Co-op should have a newspaper just like they do in High School. There should be a staff and an editor and it was going to be the best school newspaper ever! Once the idea was born we took off running. Our staff grew and the newspaper became much more successful then we had originally planned. I have had so much fun being a founder, writer, photographer, artist, and so much more for the Cornerstone Gazette. It has been a blast and has really enhanced my experience of Co-op. The staff of the Cornerstone Gazette is AMAZING! I am so proud of and so greatfull to everyone who has put in any effort in making the Cornerstone Gazette a success. I have been so happy that we have been able to keep the Cornerstone Gazette a student run publication for two solid years now. (except for some editing done by some amazing moms:) I am so greatfull to all of our dedicated readers and to all of you amazing people at Co-op I am so happy to have gotten the opportunity to attend Co-op with all of you! This is the big reveal! I have always tried to keep my identity a secret because I didn't want people to know who was behind the workings of the Gazette but now it is coming out. This year is certainly bitter sweet for me because I am graduating. This not only means that I will be leaving Co-op but that I will also be leaving the Cornerstone Gazette into the hands of others. This will be the last issue of the Cornerstone Gazette that I will have a hand in. I am so excited for the future of the Cornerstone Gazette I know even though I will be gone that there will be great things in it's future. I am so thankful to everyone who has worked with me side by side on this amazing project and I hope you all know how greatly I appreciate each and every one of you. I hope that you all have enjoyed reading the Cornerstone Gazette and I hope that each and everyone one of you has an amazing life! “For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 I can't believe my day's of Co-op are now over but I am so excited for my future. So for one final time...

Live, Love, Laugh,

CiCi's Pizza
Written by Songbird

Just a reminder to you all. CiCi's Pizza in Pickerington 256 has agreed to stay open late after so that we can all come and eat after showcase. They will be staying open from 9:00pm until 11:00pm In the past this has always been a very good time of fun, food, and socialization, after showcase. Thanks again to Cheryl Paul for calling CiCi's ahead so that they will stay open late for us. Remember this is not a Co-op run event so everyone needs to be responsible for their own kids during this time. I hope to see you all there tonight!

The Cornerstone Gazette is a student publication and not an official outlet of the Cornerstone Co-op or its Comittee

Showcase!

Wow! I cannot believe that tomorrow is the last day of Co-op! It's crazy to think that we are officially finished with 11 weeks of Co-op...We have one last day tomorrow and then Co-op is over until the autumn. Showcase is also tomorrow night after Co-op! Can you believe it! Tomorrow is the entire end of Co-op until after the summer. I'm so excited for the summer but I also love Co-op! Be sure to arrive on time to Co-op tomorrow! Be sure to thank all of your amazing teachers and say good bye to all of your awesome friends. Also don't forget to pick up a copy of the Cornerstone Gazette when you come in tomorrow! This will be the last issue until the fall so don't forget about it! You can grab a copy from the front table, the tables by the couches, or over by the microwave. I hope that you have all had a great week and I hope that you all have a great day today! : ) Don't forget to finish your projects and practice your performances so that you are ready for showcase tomorrow night! I hope that you all have a great day today! Can't wait to see you all tomorrow!
