Pick-pocket football, Josue Alvarado

Those that have skills will pickpocket you and you won't even realize it. You will be flag-less. The referee will announce the next play.

Two or three teams of six players have signed up to play flag football at Leadership Public Schools -- College Park. Although, more grace is required in pickpocket football, I prefer tackle. Many students feel that this lunch time intramural will be a great outlet for the students.

Students are anxious to master the art pickpocket football, but the league is short by two to three teams. I encourage you to talk with your friends and put a team together and try to pickpocket me -- trust me you got no skills!

The Good, Bad, and Ugly, Josue Alvarado

Journalism class is brand new at Leadership Public Schools -- College Park. In journalism class there are two different kinds of the staff: Blog staff and the News Reporter staff. I am a blogger. On this blog you will read the opinions of our staff, but in the newspaper you will read facts about Leadership Public School.

This class represents the Good, Bad, and Ugly. Some students say it's bad or ugly. I have seen the good times as well. Times are good when Mr. Sutton guides the class and the students learn through hands-on experience. Mr. Sutton believes this is "our" blog and "our" newspaper, and he lets us run the show. But there are times when it is boring and we have to learn about facts as they relate to journalism -- the bad, the ugly.

Overall, I like the class because, we mostly write about things that we think are interesting and what the school would want to hear. Many students' opinions about this class is that it’s good, because we give information to the school and it helps us learn how to research more.

The bottom line is it's all three -- it's good, bad, and ugly, but mostly good.
