Russell Jackson, or Mr. Jackson, the math teacher, as most students know him, calls himself a boring person. Like many people, he fails to see that sometimes having a heart for others can make him a person with one of the fullest lives possible.

As a recent survey shows, 71  percent of people between the ages 18 to 49 admitted to texting or talking on the phone while they are driving.  The phone call you just have to make or the really important text you just have to repsond right away can be threatening.  Life threatening to be exact. 

It’s looking like that time of year again. Christmas has ended, summer vacation is a long way off, and the juniors have locked themselves in Mrs. Brower’s room for that past few lunch periods. Its Prom season. It’s the most secretive of times when seniors usually need spy equipment just to discover any information about the event.  But finally Mrs. Brower has shared all there is to know about the 2010 Prom.

As the New Year begins, the same old winter weather moves in. In addition to the two weeks of the holiday break, Willow Springs had additional two days out due to snow and ice.
