Hello, Flashes. Welcome to today's issue of Flashes Times Junction. Today I'm not only going to be talking about things going on in school but what today means and represents.



            Don't forget tomorrow there is an art club meeting. For everyone participating in girls basketball, there are going to open gyms and weights held after school. See Mr. Dawson for more details. If you're interested in the academic challenge, there will be a meeting after school on Wednesday in Mr. von Kamps room after school. Also, if you're interested in writing for this paper, please see Makena Northcutt, for details. Mr. von Kamp and I would like to have 8th graders, 7th graders, and 6th graders to participate in the newspaper, see Mr. von Kamp of myself for more details.

           Today is a sad day for America. Today there was a terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers. It happened at approximately 8:46 a.m. A hijacked passenger jet, American Airlines Flight 11, crashed into the North Tower. The hole left in the building caused a fire. Unfortunately, everyone on flight 11, was killed. Shortly after, the South Tower was hit by flight 175. The whole city was in shock.Unfortunately, everyone on flight 175 was killed. These horrific attacks killed 2,996 people and injured over 6,000. The attacks were the first terrorist attacks on US soil.The fourth and final plane crashed in StonycreekTownship near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The people on flight 93, had heard about the attacks on the World Trade Centers, and the Pentagon, took over the flight. Flight 93 was intended to hit the White House. Thank the Lord for the brave heroes on flight 93. 9/11 is the deadliest incidents for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed respectively. Let's all take a moment and thank the brave souls of flight 93, and all of the firefighters, police officers and everyone affected by these horrific attacks. So a huge thank you to all of the firefighters and officials that were helping people on 9/11.
                                             Go Willard Flashes.!!
                                                                       -Makena Northcutt.

The First Few Days of School

The first few days of school can always be nerve wracking. New people, new teachers, new classes. Everything! Yet at the same time, it’s really exciting for all the same reasons! I mean, yeah, I know school has its moments but you can always get something good out of it. Getting to know new friends and new teachers is always a good start to the school year.
On my first day of 8th grade I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know if any of my friends would be in my classes or if I would like my teachers. After a few months off it was hard to wake up so early in the morning again. As for most, they experienced the same things as I did. Normally it doesn’t take too long for kids to get back in the swing of things at school. We all remember the routines of changing classes, going to lunch and specials as we did the years before. Not much has changed but we are constantly learning new things every single day!

September 1st updates.

Hello, welcome to the Flashes Times Junction. Good news, our 7th/8th-grade football team came out with a win against Shelby last night. The final score for the football game was 48-14. The top scorers in last night's game included Dario, Carlos, Dylan, and Carson. Great job Flashes.
Unfortunately, our 8th-grade volleyball team lost in a hard fought two games, against Bellevue last night. Don’t give up Lady Flashes.  
Don’t forget if you're interested student council, ALL papers are due today. (September 1, 2017). Also, make sure you set a reminder in your phone, make a note, do whatever you have to, don’t forget there is an art club meeting today. The meeting is during Flashtime C in Miss. Smith’s art room. So, if you are interested in art club then check out that meeting.
Just a reminder, there is no school, on Monday, September 4, 2017. It’s Labor day. So, sleep in, catch up on some homework, relax, and enjoy the three day weekend.
Today's lunch is cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, and mixed fruit.  
Have an awesome day.
Go Willard Flashes!!
