Homecoming

I am very excited about homecoming this year. We are going up against Blytheville this year and we're going to win like always. I am ready to see the Batesville Pioneers kick some Chickasaw butts! The game is always very tense and exciting on homecoming night. I am looking forward to the yelling and screaming "Go Pioneers," and watching all the touchdowns that the Pioneers will make.
Spirit week has been a blast this year. I have enjoyed dressing up and also looking at all the funny things people come up with. The decorations are awesome and give me a lot of school spirit.
The homecoming dance will not be goinmg on this year, but I am ok with that. We are having one the week after so it will make up for it. I am excited to go. I love dressing up and dancing.
GO PIONEERS!!!!!!!!!

Uglies

Tally has grown up in a world where everyone, on their sixteenth birthday, gets an operation that makes their faces and bodies perfect. After the operation they are known as a pretty, and live in New Pretty Town and live a life of fun and partying. Before they are known as an ugly. Tally cannot wait to turn sixteen and join the prettys and have fun. Shortly before the operation Tally has always dreamt about, she becomes friends with a girl named Shay. Shay and her have the same birthday, so Tally is very excited that they will both turn pretty together. Little does Tally know that Shay does not want to turn pretty. She wants to run away to a town called The Smoke, a secret town for people who refuse to have the operation. When Shay runs away to The Smoke after Tally refuses to go with her, Tally is given an option by Special Cicumstances, the secret police, to either betray her friend and help them find The Smoke or remain ugly for the rest of her life. To find out what choice Tally makes, read Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.
