There are many desserts on Thanksgiving but here are the few recommended ones by Mrs. Jones class. First, the store bought brownie mix. This is a simple but tasty treat to have. Second, is the apple crisps which is like apple pie but it has sliced apples with oats, butter, and brown sugar then the dessert is baked. This dessert is great because the apples have a tart and sour taste and the oats add a nice crunch. The third dessert is rice pudding.

Students walk to go get covid testing… and then, they walk past… THE GUM TREE! This tree is exactly what it sounds like, it is an old tree with gum stuck onto it, it can be found here, at this school… but what exactly is the meaning of this? Who knows, maybe it could rip its own roots out of the ground, learn to run around, and attack students! In this article, Thomas Star King students will give their opinions on it.

     We can all admit that these past two years have been pretty crazy. COVID 19, global lockdown, and online school. Even though 2020-2021 had its ups and downs, those years taught us to be more grateful than ever. Today, take your time to think about everything that you’re grateful for. 

Firstly, we should all be grateful for trees. Without them, humans wouldn’t be alive! Their leaves and branches give off oxygen that allows us to breathe. Their thick trunks and branches supply animals with a perfect place to live, and create … Read the rest “Everything to be Great-Fall for This Season”

It’s Thanksgiving, the day where we give thanks and gratitude. The day we eat foods like mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits, and pizza (if you like), but of course the classic turkey! Usually we buy our food and cook at home but I have to warn you to freeze. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING! The prices are going up rapidly. And there are lots of small companies that can give you the same quality turkey for a lower price. And this is why. 

According to NPR, because of these rising prices, a regular … Read the rest “BUY NOTHING!”

            Toilets, soap… and post-it notes? Have you ever seen a postcard in the girl’s bathroom? Well, at Thomas Star King the girl’s bathroom on the hill has some great, albeit temporary, reading material. 

As most of the girls on campus know, there are many conversations and messages being conveyed  through post-it notes on the stall walls!  When I saw my first note, I was ecstatic, I love responding to people hoping that maybe I’ll get a reply. These small talks have been happening since the beginning of the year and have … Read the rest “Bathroom Words of Encouragement”

     When you think about Thanksgiving and things you’re grateful for, you must be thinking for Salad, Yams, and most of all, Turkey! Wel, let’s fly the idea of eating Turkey out the window! Students of Thomas Starr King Middle school have shared food that they’re grateful for, but there is one catch, no turkey!

     Anonymous replies, “I enjoy sushi. It tastes very good, for example the fishy taste makes a perfect counterpart to the soy sauce,” which many people seem to agree on. Brandon Espinal on the other hand favors the … Read the rest “Anything BUT Turkey, Please…”
