Winter Vacations

by Danielle

Winter vacation is coming up and there are lots of really fun places to go. Here is a list of my top five places to go:

Hillary's defeat and Trump's win

by Danielle

The 45th Presidential Election is finally over. It was between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump. The winner was Donald Trump. Trump wants to change some woman's right like if a woman is pregnant and doesn’t want to be they have to go to another country to decline the pregnancy. Trump has also has said very lewd things about women. People are not happy about Trump’s win. There is going to be a women's rights march hosted on January 21, 2017 in Washington D.C. The march is going to be filled with millions of women protesting against Trump about their rights. This is not the first protest against trump there have many more this is just the biggest one. People might ask “If people are doing so much protesting against Trump how did he win?” The answer is Trump didn’t win in the popular vote. The popular vote is each single person’s vote. But what matters is the Electoral College vote. Here is how it works. Each state gets a number of votes based on its population. It is up to a legislator chosen from that state to give in the votes. The candidate that gets to 270 electoral votes first is President. People think this is very unfair. Donald Trump is our President and we must live with it and think the best of it.

New hair styles: Spring 2016

By Danielle and Lana

There are a bunch of new hairstyles in 2016. One beautiful hair style is the waterfall braid. Waterfall braids are two braids that meet up at the middle of your hair or it’s one braid that goes to the side. Another really cool style is the half- do. The half- do is when there is a bun in the back of your head a braid around the bun. The last braid is the milkmaid braid. The milkmaid is when there are two big braids acting as a headband with a bun in the back. That is why the style is also known as the braided headband.

These are the hottest styles of 2016:

Stuff the Bus!

Danielle G. Kyra S. and Meena V.

Monday, November 9th, 2015 at Heathcote School was a very special and rare event. It was Pajama Day!!! On Pajama Day, at Heathcote, people are allowed to wear their favorite pajamas to school. At 10:15am all the grades came out and  to do a special tradition called Stuff The Bus.

Stuff the Bus is when all the kids of our school donate a pair of pajamas and bring them to a bin that has their teacher’s name on it. Then all the teachers hand in the bins to the office and when all the grades come outside we stuff all the pajamas into a bus giving them to less fortunate children. It was a fun experience that helped a good cause. Here are a few of our favorite pics:

Rockin’ Jump

by Danielle G

Are you looking for something fun? Then you should go to Rockin’ Jump. It’s like the land of trampolines. There are trampolines on the ground and the wall. They even have sports like basketball, where there's a trampolines on the ground and that’s the same with their dodgeball. My favorite part is that they have a foam pit. Rockin’ Jump is located in Mount Kisco 333 North Bedford Road. The place is perfect for birthday parties too!    

Boulder Brook

By: Danielle G.

Boulder Brook is a horseback-riding stable located in Scarsdale, NY. The teachers there are professionally trained so there is nothing to be scared of. This stable is not like other riding stables! They are better at teaching because they don’t give you one horse. Instead, they mix them up so you get use to the feel of other horses, for example, like slow horses or fast ones. A few good horses to learn on when you're a beginner are Penny, Doc and Lily.

When you start you will have a leader and take a private lesson. A leader is someone that hangs on to you. When you get more advanced you will join a group lesson. If you like the year program then you can do the camp and they already know what level group you're in because you already ride there. The most important things are: don’t fall off, be safe and have fun!! Check it out! http://www.boulderbrookequestrian.com
