Happy New Year!

Wow! Do wake up some mornings and think, "Wow, it's really 2008"? It still hasn't sunken in just yet. Seems just the other day the school year began. But you know what they say; it's a new year and a new day. One thing you can look forward to is our newspaper going to print very, very soon.

In the meanwhile, here are the results of our latest poll. It must have been the holiday season that caused such a low turnout this time around. We were down a few votes from before. But thanks to those of you who let your voice be heard!

The question we asked was how much learning happens around the holidays. It seems there's near chaos between Halloween and New Year's, wouldn't you say? Thirty-three percent of you voted that just as much learning happens at this time of year as at the beginning of the school year. But 50 percent said you learn a little less, and 16 percent said not much is learned. But teachers, wipe your brows; no one said they don't learn at all! Hopefully those numbers will rise again as we prepare for PSSAs and the final marking period. At the rate time's speeding, the end of the year will be here tomorrow!

As always, thanks for reading! A new poll will come soon!
