1. The Falconer ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL VOL. 2, ISSUE 1 OCTOBER, 2006 YOUNG CHEFS ACADEMY—SJS Junior Girl Scouts ~Grace Ann McCurdy, Emily Adams, Caroline Simms On Friday the 13th the 3rd grade Junior Girl Scouts weren’t being superstitious - they were making pizzas! At Young Chefs Academy in Bossier City, Troop 68 Junior Girl Scouts made pizzas on a Girl Scout field trip. They learned safety rules such as: Don’t leave what your cooking unattended, wear close fitting sleeves when cooking and be alert. Also they learned how to treat burns. They made the pizza dough. While making the dish they had yeast rising. So at the end they got to see the yeast all the way raised. • After the dough was made, they got to start making the pizza. They got to place the amount wanted of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. The pizzas cooked for about 10-15 minutes. Voila! The pizzas were ready! Each Girl Scout got a 4 piece pizza made just the way they like it!

3. Movie Review: Facing the Giants ELEMENTARY ADVICE ~ Ask KP • Karryn Paulsen I think Facing the Giants is an amazing movie. Some girls might think it is just a plain old movie about football. I have watched this movie, and I think that it is much, much more than football. It is about a man who preaches and teaches his football team about having faith and trust in God. As he goes through hardships in his life, he always loves God. He straightens out problems with relationships between families, makes his team closer to God, and finally, his wife gets pregnant after a long time of waiting for a baby. A good quote from the movie is, “If we win, we praise the Lord. If we lose, we praise the Lord.“ Finally, his team wins a big victory against a big, unbeatable team called the Giants. I think it is a great movie for Catholics to reflect on and to really think about how much God means to us. Dear KP, 2 people are acting like they are the smartest kids in the class or 3rd grade. What should I do about it? From, Third Grader Dear 3rd Grader, Bragging isn’t a good thing to do. Ignore them and focus on your OWN grades rather than theirs. Love, KP Dear KP, I have a problem letting people walk all over me. They’re really mean and rude. What should I do? Sincerely, I Don’t Know What to Do Dear I Don’t Know What to Do, If somebody says or does something to you, either ignore them or try and talk to them calmly. Don’t fight back! That just makes it worse. If they, again, bully you, you should go to an adult. Remember, you must always realize why they are mean to you. Good Luck! Love, KP
