The Celtics

by Keondre Ames

The 35-19 Celtic Team is on a roll. But they fell victims to the Denver Nuggets 114-107. Kevin Garnet scored 15 points, four rebounds, five assists, and ten blocks. Now they will be matched against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the number one team in the league.

And There Was Snow!

The Rayfields and Jackson Glenn built a really large snow man. It was enormous. We had approximately one foot of overall snowfall this year. A recipe for snow cream is one can sweetened condensed milk, one splash vanilla extract. You also need a mixing bowl of snow, of course. Stir all ingredients and enjoy. In the snow, there are many activities that you can do. You can have snowball fights, build snowmen, or build forts.
