We didn't have quite enough interest in getting our own theatre for a Saturday movie outing to see the much-anticipated Hunger Games in April.
We are not giving up! As soon as movie times are posted for April 14th, I will select a morning show time. You'll see the information about the show time posted on our school website, here and on the parent newsletter.
Your parents will bring you and monitor you during the movie. We hope to see lots of our Wendell community members getting in on the fun!
Stay tuned for details.

Manga Mania! Cooperative Stories
Our students had the opportunity to write a story during Manga Mania. Students in a group rolled dice to determine six elements of their story:
Three heroes are alerted by their mentors that danger is coming to their homes: Link in Hyrule, Naruto in the Hidden Leave Village of Konoha, and Goku on Mount Paozu. The three meet and decide that they need one more hero and they ask Chuck Norris of Texas to join them. Chuck Norris agreed right after he finished giving Superman flying lessons.
The four heroes know that the evil boss is hiding in an underground, underwater secret lair. Goku teleports in and spice out the boss' headquarters. He comes back with a report about how many guards there are and that the other heroes can all get in through a long guarded tunnel. The four heroes plan an assault.
But first, they have to navigate the tunnel. The four heroes decide to use the "pure stealth" tactic to sneak past all the guards. Finally they arrive at a very heavy metal door leading to the secret lair. At the front door, Chuck Norris taps the door with with his index finger and it explodes...epically! Link climbs in to the rafters and hides, looking for more guards. He finds where the boss is hiding with his special elite guards protecting his computerized control center.
Then, Link is surprised to hear voices talking. There's not one,. but two evil bosses: Elusive Man from the Mass Effect Universe and Pain the leader of the Akatuski who are Narotu's enemies. Link hears them talking about destroying the Earth in many different universes.
This is more than enough for the heroes to act on. They begin an all-out attack on the two evil bosses and their minions. Naruto does his amazing Shadow Clone Attack and takes down lots of guards at once. Link swings his magic sword, slicing through many enemies from a distance. Goku does the Super Saiyan Kame Hame Ha attack and collapses the ceiling and two walls. Chuck Norris round house kicks the entire room of guards and both bosses until no one is left standing. Link uses the code he overheard the bosses talking about to disarm the multiverse nuclear warhead. The four heroes win and save the day!
