Ode to Jicama by Juliette

Ode to Jicama*

Jicama, oh jicama I love you so,
Jicama, oh jicama you're white like snow.

Are you a vegetable or are you a root?
I'm falling for you, I need a parachute.

Jicama, oh jicama you are so juicy,
Jicama, oh jicama you make me loosey-goosey.

How did you get to be so good?
And yet, you are still so misunderstood.

Jicama, oh jicama you are so healthy,
Jicama, oh jicama you snuck up on me, you're stealthy.

Jicama, oh jicama you give me vitamin C,
Jicama, oh Jicama you hold the key.

Jicama, oh jicama you make a great meal,
for jicama, oh jicama you are quite ideal.

The Throckmorton Theater The Throckmorton Theatre as we know it now used to be The Hub, which was famed for hosting Charlie Chaplin and regular vaudeville programming in 1914. Which was when the also darling Sequoia Theater opened in the 1920s, the Hub faded away and c...

Pigs, Pigs, Pigs! By Rhianon

The pig races have come and gone again, to be back next year. Thank you to every single person who traded in ten or more tickets. That’s $100 that goes to funding to all the cool stuff we have in MVMS, including the iPads and all of the electives. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year here at MVMS. Every single ticket you sold helped your school be what it is. Also, congratulations to every person who got into the Grand Pig Pre . Getting to that annual race is a big accomplishment. It's fun because you help your school while having fun!

Petals as bright as the sun and seeds as dark as night The wind blows and they are dancing Stems sticking out like giraffe necks reaching to the sky Green leaves like wings trying to fly
