Purple Haze
For a brief time

Feburary 4, 2016

Another week done. With snow melting, warmer temperatures and rainy weather, spring seems like it’s only a few weeks away. The groundhog seemed to confirm our suspicions on Tuesday when he did not see his shadow, predicting an early spring.

The third marking period is underway, marking the halfway point of the 2015-2016 school year. My art teacher, Mrs. Brink, celebrates by painting a life size portrait of Bon Jovi to hang in the hallway accompanied by the popular lyrics “Woah we’re halfway there!”

The spring Wolfgang candy fundraiser, supporting Prom, has just come to a close. If you missed it and still want to get a hold of some Easter candy, the elementary school’s Wolfgang candy fundraiser is just getting started.

Fundraising for Four Diamonds is kicking into full gear with an exciting announcement from the NHS principals. They are willing to offer their parking spots to the top four fundraisers from the high school. This is seen as a large incentive, especially to juniors and seniors at the high school.

Winter sports teams have been hosting their senior nights as the season comes to a close. The special extended games or meets honor the seniors on the team usually including a walk with their parents and the presentation of a flower or gift. The boys’ basketball team hosted their senior night Tuesday evening during a game against Greencastle. Although the boys played hard, they unfortunately lost. The swim team also held their senior night this past week, wishing their seniors the best in the years to come.

Enjoy the week ahead and the warmer weather, even if it is only here for a brief time!
