Wisdom Teeth

Our staff reporter Deana Fishel had to get her wisdom teeth removed over Christmas Break. She is willing to share her experience with us. "When I had to get up the morning of the surgery on January 2, I was nervous. Who wouldn't be though? I was not ready to get anything cut out of me, especially bones out of my mouth! The nurse called me back to the procedure room, and my anxiety hit me hard. Once I started talking to the nurse, I had calmed down a lot. Then it was time for the IV. Once I got the IV, the doctor came in to give me the medicine to knock me out. All I remember was something about him giving me a steroid to help with the swelling, then I was out. I woke up, but only remember getting into my car. I was in pain. My mom took me to Wendy's to get a Frosty so I would have something in my stomach when I took the pain medicine. Once I took the medicine, it knocked me out again, and I woke up three hours later in my living room. When I woke up, I was happy the medicine was working. I took some more medicine, and this time it didn't make me want to fall asleep. I repeated this routine for about five days straight. Once Christmas Break was over and it was time to go back to school, I still wasn't able to function with my medicine head. I missed about two days of school, but I was ready to be back. After I got to school, I was ready to be back home. I was exhausted. On January 12, I went back to my surgeon because I was still having trouble eating anything. When the surgeon looked he had said I was still a bit swollen, so he gave me some medicine to help with that. Now I'm back to my old self, and I am very happy about it."

Report Cards

Staff Reporter Sam Smith                                                                     What do your parents do when you show them your report card? Reward you, ground you, praise you, scold you? I asked a few kids how their parents react to their grades. Some kids said that their parents do not even look at their grades. Another kid told me that he gets his phone taken and is not allowed to hang out with friends any longer until his grades come up. A couple of students responded with, “My parents pay me for the good grades I get and take away money if there are any bad grades.” Some more drastic consequences that came up were that kids got their personal things taken away such as items from their room, their driving privileges, electronics, their doors taken off their rooms or even that their parents went to school with them to get them on task. What do your parents do when you show them your report card? Do you have a story to share? Send us your story at thebulldogfetch@gmail.com !

Cookie Monster's Favorite Time of Year

Staff Reporter Rowan Gast-Bray
These next couple of weeks are a holiday season unlike any other. Millions of young girls will be sent forth bearing order forms for Girl Scout Cookie sales. In this time of festivity, it will not be hard to get your hands on a box (or 40 boxes) of cookies. You can purchase a single box for only four dollars. Many people have already selected their choice cookies, but I must recommend a few of my favorites. Brand new this year is the Rah-Rah Raisin cookie, a hearty combo of yogurt chunks, oatmeal and raisins. Another fine option for the donut-shape lovers is the Samoa, a crisp cookie covered in thick chocolate, coconut, and caramel. My personal favorite and a timely classic is the Thin Mint. It boasts a pleasant proportion of chocolate to mint and is even VEGAN! There are still others in the gamut of gastronomic delight: Savannah Smiles, Trefoils, Do-Si-Dos and Tagalongs. You can find order forms with any staff member who has a child in Girl Scouts. Try Mrs. Dimmack, Mr.Tronc, Mrs. Mobley or Mr. Burke. Do not despair if the cookies have already been delivere. You can still buy a box. Talk to a Girl Scout and find out where Cookie Booths will be located.  A percentage of your purchase is donated to each troop, so I am sure you can find it in your heart (and your stomach) to help out!
