The Girl’s “A” had a great game!! The weather was cold and raining, yet the Girl’s “A” didn’t let the weather ruin their game spirit. We played against Rocky Hill, and the score was close, 9-10. Daisy did a great job in goal even though she had an injury during the game. Amberlee did a great job even though she pulled her muscle during the game. We missed her towards the end, however our team pushed through the rain and cold, and scored some more goals. GO GIRLS “A”!!!!!

On Friday, April 16, the Boys “B” played their first game against Pennfield. The first goal of the game and the season was scored by Jake. SMS started in the lead until Pennfield tied the game at 1-1. We were put in the lead when Jack scored a goal, but that lead didn’t last, and Pennfield scored again, and the score was 2-2 by the fourth quarter. Finn won the face-off and within 8 seconds into the first quarter he scored and put SMS back on top. In the middle of the third quarter, Jake scored his second goal of the game, and at the very end of the game, Will scored his first goal. The ending results was SMS winning, 5-2. The game ball went to Danny playing a great game in goal.
- Report written by Finn
On Tuesday, April 27, the Boys “B” played the “A” team from Rocky Hill. To start us off well, Corran scored his first, and the team’s first, goal of the game. Danny played a fantastic game as goalie, only letting in two goals and surprisingly almost scored while he was playing as goal keeper. The other scorers were Jackwith three goals, Jake with two, Scott with one, Finn with two, and Corran scoring his second goal at the end of the game. We did have a lot of scorers, but the game ball did not go to one of them. Instead, the game ball went to Morgan. Though he had no goals, he made many assists, and also did a spinning routine, dodging about three people and still held the ball. The ending score was 10 to 2, and the Boys “B” have won their second game of the season and still haven’t lost any.

Holocaust Quiz Friday
Be able to list and explain Raul Hilberg’s six steps to mass murder:
Definition – Jews and other minorities are defined as “the other” through legalized discrimination.
Isolation – Through the accumulation of hundreds of anti-Jewish laws, social practices, living restrictions, property expropriation, Jews are marginalized in German society.
Emigration – Jews are encouraged through laws and terror to leave German territory.
Ghettoization – Jews are forcibly removed to segregated sections of Eastern European cities and are made to endure terrible living conditions.
Deportation – Jews are transported to death and concentration camps.
Mass Murder – Gassing, shooting, and confinement with forced labor are used to systematically kill Jews.
The question of why so many German people went along with Nazi policies seems to be answered by conformist behavior (not wanting to be perceived as non-conformist or cowardly) or by belief (a long held culture of anti-Semitism that made people think it was OK to harm the bad “others”). The Nazis’ small steps also contributed to people’s moral decline by involving them in a steady process of increasingly abusive behavior toward Jews.

It was a bright and sunny afternoon on April 23, 2010 when Girls’ B took on Wheeler. We struggled throughout the first half with only two goals, but as the game progressed into the second half we added six more goals to the score board. These goals were scored by Annie, Allie, Issy, Charlotte, Ally, and Maddie. We also had great goaltending by Victoria, and Annie. Still, these eight goals were not enough to pull out a win for Girls B. The final score was 11-8 Wheeler.

When you prepare your slides, “frame” the topic of the question so that the audience has a way to understand the details that follow.

Grade 8: Find one company that reported quarterly earnings between the time that the market closed on Monday, and the time that it opened on Tuesday. Was the report good or bad news for the company? What was expected by the analysts, and what was actually reported? What was the effect of the news on the company’s stock price on Tuesday in the actual stock market. For example, if the company was Alcoa (Ticker = AA), earnings came in at about what was predicted, but sales were lower than forecast by about $350 million. The stock traded down about 2.2% (or whatever the final number turns out to be at market close, since this information is from noon today).

3. Would Emperor Franz Joseph of have chosen to attack Serbia and invite a Russian invasion if Germany had not promised help to Austria-Hungary?
