What’s Your New Year’s Resolution?

Published by cdavis13

Say good-bye to 2011 and hello to 2012! It’s time to start off fresh for the New Year. And a new year means a new you! Forget about what you did last year, you need to start doing stuff you haven’t done yet. Like meeting new friends, getting better grades in school, or falling in love.
“My New Year’s resolution is to put homework first and get 80’s and above in my classes. Another one is to learn how to skateboard again, because I would learn how to skateboard but then I would stop, so I would forget how to skateboard. My plan is to complete all my resolutions.” Says Valeria Zerbe (8). “What my New Year’s resolution is, is to try to stop eating candy!” Says Jean-Pierre Marc-Charles (7).

There can be many different resolutions, as everyone thinks differently, but whatever your resolution might be you should go out there and complete it. Just remember that a new year equals a new you, so it’s your decision whether you want to change or not.

Garner’s Yearbook Program Wins Top Recognition

Published by garner

The Garner Middle School yearbook program was awarded top honors from the American Scholastic Journalist Association (ASJ) for their work.  The 2011 yearbook, titled “Generation Garner” took first place in the Intermediate Schools division with enrollment between 500-1000.  This is the first time the Garner yearbook program has been honored with such an award.  The American Scholastic Association reviews hundreds of yearbooks from across the nation each year and scores each book on a point system to determine places. 

“The students worked very hard to capture the spirit of Garner’s 50th anniversary.  The students used old yearbooks to help show the history of the school and we included pictures of parents, aunts, uncles, and older siblings of current students to show how Garner has developed generations of students in our community,” says yearbook adviser Amanda White.  “I am so proud of their accomplishments.”
