The Room moms are responsible for making a theme and collecting items for the basket. Our basket theme will be: Winter Fun

Basket ideas/items needed: sleds, scarves, ski gloves, thermal wear, ski bibs, hot chocolate and mugs, hand warmers, boot socks, electric blanket, snuggies, ski goggles, Paoli or Perfect North gift certificates/passes.

8th grade debate - Closing Speech

2011-10-18T04:44:00.001-07:00

We are the colonists no more, for we are united one and all. Against all odds we will fight you for our Independence. We will fight you for our families. We will fight you for our dignity, and we will fight you for our country. No matter what you say or do we will not back down. We will not back down because our unity and freedom is more important to us than our lives. We are ready to take control by ourselves without you. We can do anything you can do for we are all equal on this Earth. You still see us as infants who need to be taught to speak and walk. You do not see us as a matured country who is ready to be set free into the world. You hold on to us, keeping us from flourishing, growing, and reaching our full potential. Our whole country can see that you are afraid we will grow to be bigger and stronger than you would ever hope to be. We all see it as it lies behind your taxes, your massacres, your laws, your Acts, and your eyes.
We are prepared for this war. Although our soldiers may not be dressed in such fancy and uniformed attire as yours. Our artillery may not be as expensive or deadly as yours. Our strategy may not be as effective as yours. Our numbers may not be as high as yours, but we all know one thing and one thing only that we have bested you in…..and it’s our hearts. Our hearts will lead us to this victory and take our Independence that we truly deserve. Our hearts will unite all of America on these fateful days. As this war is current our hearts will beat only for Independence and a victory. It’s our hearts that will lead us to “The United States of America”.

Signed,
Jace Jeffferson
