Iconic, BreakSk8, Enigma Dance Kru, Automatic Response, The Movement, Femme 5, Full Out, Fysh 'n' Chicks, Status Quo, Live in Color, JabbaWockeeZ, Kaba Modern. They are in the 8th week of the show and there are only 2 crews left: JabbaWockeeZ from the West Coast, and Status Quo from the East Coast. Both crews are audience favorites. The judges love both crews and the unique styles they bring to the stage. Everything will be duked out on March 30, 2008 to see who wins.

Based on the best selling books, The Chronicles of Narnia continues. The newest one, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, due out May 16, spans about one year in our time and 1,300 years in Narnia's time. A young prince uses Susan's (oldest sister from the first movie) horn to call the children back to Narnia. With their help, Prince Caspain will try to regain his rightful throne. You will be introduced to all new characters and even some old ones. For more information go to the official website http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/ . The movie appears to be just as good as the first. I hope you go and see it.

Economics Project

During the 4th quarter, the Economics class will do what sounds like a very educational and enjoyable experience that will involve all the students in LOCS. In this project, they will each manage their own small business around the school. They can choose if they would like to form a partnership with a fellow classmate as well. This project will start May 1st, and each class member will be selling their own product or service. They will receive their start-up funds from a selected parent or friend; however, they will have to pay them back. They are currently in the planning stages and are having an experienced business man come and speak with them next week. All together, the students in economics class, and even the students who aren't, are very excited about this upcoming project.

Whats Out Now in Theaters

Many movies have come out in the past few weeks which appeal to all audiences. Many people would be scared to take their children to the theater for fear of inappropriate themes. But at the same time, no one likes to take there child to a "safe" movie because normally they are very boring for the parent. So if you want to enjoy your time with the kids and have something to talk about I would recommend "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who. This movie is about the imaginative elephant, Horton. He hears a cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Suspecting there may be life on that speck and despite a surrounding community which thinks he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to help. It is a rated G movie with a great plot. And its excellence has shown with great ratings from users and critics. Horton Hears a Who!

Upcoming Prom

Legacy Oaks Christian School 9th-12th graders are having an upcoming prom. The date is set for April 26, 2008 and almost all the girls have their dresses picked out, at home, and they are just counting the days to wear them. Waiting for the formal prom, every high schooler still has to buy tickets, which are being sold next week (Tuesday 4/1/08 and Thursday 4/3/08) during advisory. And Micah O. is begging for Burger King instead of pasta.

Army of Two Rocks!

Army of Two is one of the newest co-op games out. The A.I. is awesome, neither Bungie nor Rockstar could have made a game in the same fashion. Even though it uses mild language, this game has a sweet plot. From the action to communication it is a five star, two thumbs up game. If you have not got it, go get it. You will not regret it.

Drillbit Taylor

Drillbit Taylor is an action packed comedy about two boys struggling through high school. Their main concern is a bully who picks on them relentlessly throughout the movie. The boys get fed up with the way they are being treated, so they hire a bodyguard to help deal with their bully problems. That bodyguard is Drillbit Taylor. The movie is exciting, funny, and has a storyline that many teenagers can relate to. The combination of those three things makes this a great movie and I recommend it for anyone over the age of 13.

The Yearbook is Finally Done

After many painstaking hours in the classroom, the Legacy Oaks Yearbook Staff is finally done with the yearbook. The yearbook was sent in Monday, March 31st and we should receive them at the end of the school year. Journalism has worked long and hard on this yearbook, looking back on everything that has happened this year. We can't wait to see just how it will turn out.

Thanks to all who helped put it together -- from teachers and parents sending in pictures and the Parent Teacher Fellowship giving us the money needed to finish. Most of all, the entire Journalism class, especially Mrs. Pacetti, for without her there would have never been a Journalism class.

Brett Favre Says Goodbye

Earlier this year, the NFL's all-time leading touchdown passer, Brett Favre, retired. His retirement, although expected, came at a rather unusual time. The Packers went all the way to the NFC title game and lost to the eventual Superbowl champions, the New York Giants. The Packers went 13-3 this past season. They were one of the hottest teams last season, so it is unusual for him to leave.

Brett Favre's departure hurts. The team now has to go with an inexperienced quarterback under center. It could also hurt their young receivers. A running game that struggled for much of the season, until the emergence of Ryan Grant could see many 8 man fronts next season. An inexperienced offence could create problems for their young defence if they can't stay on the field.

Bloggers Take Hiatus to Create Yearbook

As many recent visitors to the site may have noticed, the journalism class has seemingly halted its weekly blogging. Fret not, however. We will return shortly after our regularly scheduled yearbook programming. (It's taking us a little longer than anticipated to get all the pages just right.) We'll be back in the next two weeks or so to keep you afloat of all that is swimming in our heads. Also look out for our Freelance Writers --- journalism students who have taken up the challenge of maintaining their own, independent blog. Freelance Writers, like contract employees, get "paid" extra (we get extra grades) based on the quality and quantity of our writing. Should be exciting, so visit us again soon! Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
