Jicama Heist By Juliette

Jicama Heist 

Jicama, oh jicama wherefore art thou jicama?
Deny thy orange and refuse thy tray
And I swear, my love, they will serve you on every hot lunch day.

And so, our story begins with the purge for jicama and the everlasting hunger for it.
There we were, eating our drab cheddar bunnies and cardboard pizza slices, longing for the juicy, crunch of jicama,
And then we saw it, the beautiful, pure white jicama.
So we double knotted our shoelaces and got in our stances, ready to make the run.
“GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!!!!”
Running up to the hot lunch window, crouching so that the lunch lady can't see us, reaching our arms up into the bins, and snatching the beautiful vegetable, and making a run for it.
Panting, we make it back to the classroom and revel in our newly won prize,
Chanting our happy poem,
“Jicama, oh jicama wherefore art thou jicama?
Deny thy orange and refuse thy tray
And I swear, my love, they will serve you on every hot lunch day!”


Know it by heart, and swear upon the magnificent, incredible juicy jicama. Juliette

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!
