Fox High Rock Stars!

By Miriami Sumbadze

This is the first year for Fox to have its own show band, not a band like you see on Friday nights, but a rock band! They play modern rock music. Not only do they play during school, but They do play some shows out of school as well, like in churches or other places. Mr Stringer is the teacher of show band, Dalton Wise is the drummer and has been playing on them from one year, Sean Newell is lead guitarist who has been playing guitar for two years. Hope Jones plays the bass guitar and learned how to play the bass during the music class the show band was developed in. Keyarra Lucas is one of the singers and Kyle Teafatiller is the lead singer. When I asked the band about what they liked about the class and the band they said they really like the things they are doing, they love making music. They also told me they are working on a new song so hopefully we get to hear it at school soon! Good job show band!

Fox students take PSAT

by Danielle Morris and Jessica Schmidt
What is the PSAT you ask?? PSAT stands for Preliminary SAT, which is a National Merit qualifying test, if the student taking the test scores high enough they can qualify for the National Merit Scholarship. The PSAT is also a standardized test that prepares a Student to take the SAT, which is a College Entrance Exam, but it will also help the student take the ACT because of the similarities between the two tests.

There were about 12 Fox students that took the PSAT Wednesday morning. The test lasted from 8:20 AM to Noon. The test consists of 5 tests, 2 parts of Math, 2 parts of Reading, and 1 English. There are four, 25-minute test and one, 30-minute test. The 30-minute test is very beneficial because when the students get their test results back, they will also get their test booklet and can review the questions and have the correct answers for those questions they missed. Mrs. Peavehouse says, "the PSAT can be a great learning tool for College Entrance Exams, and I think everyone if they has the opportunity they should take it!"

Here Piggy, Piggy!

By Anissa McConnell and Desmond James

It's show pig time! Well, not quite, but that is not keeping Mr. Kirkpatrick and his ag students from getting ready for the season. As you can see in the picture, these pigs are not big enough yet and are just prospective show pigs. Mr. Kirkpatrick got these pigs from Indiana. He says, "I might make another run back up to that part of the country." We are looking forward to another good year from the Fox Ag students and their show pigs!

Band Carnival 2010 Results

By Claudia Ramirez

From asking band students, parents and faculty, everyone had a blast at Saturday's band carnival. There was a cake and toy walk, photo booth, fashion salon, marriage booth, fish pond, ring toss, dart throw, dime toss, jail, bingo, 3 moon bounces, football throw and of course, a concession stand. "I think it went great, we raised a lot of money and we worked hard building and tearing it down," said Shanda Fore. How much money did the band raise you ask? Mr. Stringer said they raised around $5,000 with the most popular game being bingo. So it sounds like the carnival was a big success.
