It’s that time of year again, track season has just started. Our boys and girls track team has been working very hard to get in shape for this season. They have been coming to practice at 7:30 every morning to run. This past friday, the team went to a track meet at Wilburton.

This year, Hugo Elementary will be holding its annual Easter egg hunt. Although they have had this for many years, this year will be unlike any other. The reason this year is different is because more than one school is getting involved.
This year’s event begins at noon today. Grades Kindergarten through first are participating. There will be fun activities all throughout the day. The students are going to be rotating through four stations. These stations include going to the art room with the Hugo High students, computer games, a story will be read to them in the library and then the egg hunt. Also, every kid will get a sucker or prize and a sticker that says “I am an eggceptional egg hunter.”
The third grade will be the ones spreading the eggs out across the field. The middle school students will be making candy bags to pass out to all of the kids after school. This is not the only exciting thing that has recently been planned. Just a couple of weeks ago, the students were paid a visit by Viola the elephant. The kids paid $1 to ride her. When the day was done, the school had raised $1,300 and donated it to the family of a Hugo student, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. |

Spring is near. Spring is here! Our days are heating up and it’s a great time to start up your garden. Whether it be a vegetable garden or a flower garden, everyone has a greeen thumb. Put it to use.
If you choose to plant a vegetable garden, it would be beneficial in many ways. A person can store their harvest, which is like getting a discount from the grocery store. One could sell their vegetables to make a generous profit too.
Experts say that March 15 was the time to start planting. This is the time to start breaking your garden and it would be ideal to get planted by mid-April. Ag teacher Mr. Morphis says that he perfers to plant some of his favorites like potatoes, carrot, tomatoes and corn. A person should plant anything that srikes at their interest.
Many people plant beneficial plants. Vegetable plants like corn, tomatoes, beans and peas. These plants keep sprouting as long as you keep harvesting.
This is also a good time to start your flower garden. Certain bulbs like petunias are already starting to spring up.
When you begin planting, there is no need to stop unless you are dead in the middle of winter. Get your green thumbs pointed towards some moist dirt and go plant a seed. |

Obesity has been recorded in historic documents in Egypt, Rome and in England throughout time, but why has it just recently become a problem for many people? Many people even view obesity as a weakness of character or lack of willpower that allows individuals to eat so much they gain tremendous amounts of weight.
Scientists have determined that there are many factors including genetics, the environment and behavior, which contribute to obesity in varying degrees for different people. Yet, obesity doesn’t just affect adults, obesity is a disease that affects millions of people including children and teens.
Obesity is a serious medical disease that affects more than a quarter of adults in the United States, and about 14% of children and adolescents; but what effect does it have on their daily lives and emotions? Children and teens, who are teased about their weight, are more likely to have poor body image, symptoms of depression and feel isolated or lonely. They also could have low self esteem and use foods as their comfort, which are usually high in fat, like ice cream or candy. Obese childrens’ self isolation leads them to be less active, which becomes a higher risk for major health problems in the future.
Being a teenager is about growing up, finding yourself and learning to be independent before becoming a responsible adult, but problems with obesity can lead to serious health issues in the future and can even prevent someone from having a future at all. Parents and youth need to confront the problem of obesity head on, exercise more, eat healthier and avoid sitting in front of the TV all day. Help fight obesity for the youth of America and you could save a life. |
