6 VOLLEYBALL The Brawley girls volleyball team, now coming into the final weeks of their season, Has become a great and competitive team. I believe that the teams strengths include their skills, attitudes, and their sportsmanship. -Paige Springman (Assistant coach) The girls on the team enjoy her temptation encourage them to be a successful volleyball player. Paige s love for the sport keeps her coaching. Why wouldn't i be a coach? It always makes me so happy seeing my players improve because of something i told them. For Paige s freshman and sophomore years she was an outside hitter and for her junior year she was a DS or a defensive specialist. Head coach Melinda Rothwell has been coaching for about ten years now, Each team has improved in their own special ways, the 7th grade team has become comfortable in their positions, and the 8th grade team has seen certain players get better and better. The volleyball has one home game and one away game left in the season as well as the varsity tournament. They are expected to end the season strong.

10 The new school year has already set off The New School Year The teachers and students have agreed that this year has been going great and they all like the new MacBooks Many of the students like all their teachers and classmates. Most teachers had no complaints about the older WIN classes being cancelled. Some of the students are happy that some of the older WIN classes are cancelled, while others thought that they should have stayed. The teachers agree that the quickness of the MacBooks is big help on getting information faster, but some say that since the teachers don t know their students passwords it causes problems when the students forget their passwords. Teachers say that since there are so many computer problems it takes away from the learning. Some students also agree that with all the complications it makes learning harder. The 6th graders agree that middle school is much better than elementary school and the food is better and most of the students like their WIN classes. Some students don t enjoy having MacBooks, because they like paper and pencils better. Most students enjoy having the MacBooks because of the advantages.

12 Dr.Oz field trip is here Interactive Health s Field Trip to See Dr. Oz at Mooresville High School Dr. Oz was here to do fund raising for the Health Reach Clinic in downtown Mooresville. He met with over five hundred students at Mooresville high school and answered questions about teenagers and their health. The experience was awesome because not only did he get up and speak to the students directly after he spoke everyone. He went down into the audience and took pictures with the kids. We were invited by Dr. Oz because of our interactive health program at school and because of our FITNESS program Mount Morne IB and Troutman Middle also got to go. " We had approximently 100 students represent Iredell Statesvilles schools at this event. Cameron Deas spoke on stage with Dr. Oz. Outside after wards Dr. Oz Cameron and Grant Hasting were interviewed online with him. He talked about how teens can stay healthy and what they can do at home. He told students to go talk to their parents and see what is in their cabinets. " It was a wonderful experience to participate in a great event, and open a new door to the student lives in learning about staying healthy. 12
