Although there is definitely going to be some hate towards this post, Journalism is the BEST elective. You cannot change my mind. Journalism is amazing because you get to start your own blog and do fun activities to share with the world. (If you somehow get your site link out there) And if writing and prompt activities aren’t your thing, there is also a photography unit where you have a photography prompt, and you can go outside and take photos with (usually) a group of your choice. During the photography unit, we learn how to use the cameras and sometimes mess around a bit, resulting in some fun and silly photos. We also complete a podcast unit, which is really fun. The class gets to record alone or with a friend on a topic they want to talk about and we will complete about a 5 episode series and each episode is about 5-10 minutes long. Mrs. Steel is also one of the reasons this elective is so great. She is a very chill teacher and has fun lesson activities, while managing a class of mixed 7th and 8th graders. Journalism is the best!
Some items from the journalism photography unit:
Quarantine may be ver, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have an awesome bedroom once more! Clear out the empty pizza boxes and let’s get decorating!
1.Throw Pillows. The bed should be comfy and aesthetically pleasing!
2. LED Lights! Vibe lighting is essential.
3. Saucer Chair or Bean Bag. Just the bed isn’t enough, lots of comfort is required.
5. Lap Desk. You should be on your bed when your working right?
That’s all for now!
My top five needs for my dream bedroom!
I love my bedroom, but the grass is indeed always greener. Like everyone, I do have quite an idea for a dream bedroom. But the first thing to be stated, I would love a city skyline view for my bedroom, that is the main thing that I want for my bedroom.
Bedroom Necessities
1. A nice super comfy bed with lots of pillows and a fluffy blanket. I will be sleeping for at least 12 hours a day (Probably)
2. A really cute mini-fridge! I need room for all the fanta and dr pepper.
3. LED lights! I gotta get that vibe lighting.
4. A super comfy couch! I need somewhere to sit and watch TV don’t it?
5. Elliptical. I probably should burn off those McDonalds calories.
(I hit the max amount of links, I I will make a part 2!)

Have you ever made raspberry mint brownies? Yum! All the fudge, tang, and minty goodness! Let’s bake!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line with parchment and lightly grease an 8×8” baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and cocoa powder together. In a separate bowl, rub the mint leaves into the sugar with your fingers for about 30 seconds, it should be very fragrant.
Put the chocolate and butter in a large glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and repeat until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Add the sugars. Whisk until completely combined. The mixture should be room temperature.
Add 2 eggs to the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add the vanilla and stir. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies will be cakey.
Sprinkle the flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula (not a whisk), fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just a bit of the flour mixture is visible. Fold in the chocolate chips and raspberries.
Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached.
Cool brownies completely before cutting into 16 equal squares with a very sharp knife.
Brownies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Enjoy your brownies!
I love Luna Lovegood. She is a zany Ravenclaw from Harry Potter and has a charming quirky personality. She is the daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood, who is the editor for “The Quibbler” a wizard magazine. She is nicknamed “loony” because she is a little silly, and she suffers from somnambulism, also known as sleepwalking. This is why she wears shoes to bed. J.K. Rowling, the author of the charming Harry Potter series has also confirmed she is related to one of the main antagonists, Draco Malfoy.
In previous years, DPMS has had a dance concert provided by the school’s dance team. Dance members have provided us information for this year’s concert, and Mrs Wilson and the dance team have confirmed that they are having a dance concert in December for the winter dance concert this year! Details to follow from dance team members Katie O’Neal and Anna Yergensen.
“The winter concert is on December 14 at 7pm.” Says Anna Yergensen, an excellent dance team member, after being asked when the concert is. Will there be a concert this year, and if so in what form?: “Yes. Probably as an assembly. Last year they filmed it.” Says Katie O’Neal, another talented dancer. What is the theme of the concert?: “The nutcracker.” Katie informs us. Given the information, dance team members seem very excited about the concert provided this year.
