Well y'know, not for the assignments or anything... but because I just missed everyone. I didn't really hang out much over the summer... the summer reading killed me! I did go on a pretty awesome internship at a marketing institute in Kansas. So when I wasn't talking statistics, I just tried to hang out with my family... since my dad got home from overseas recently. Oh! Back to school! I heard this year we're holding auditions for Hairspray! If that's true, I can't wait to see who'll audition! THe excitement is totally flowing through me right now. I think Cassidy is in some of my classes... thank goodness or I wouldn't be able to pass Trig this semester! Oh, and Isaac is too! I have a feeling this is going to be a great year. - Reyna Hollis (Junior) [/style]

Less time spent working on my online degree and more time spent on the prehistoric dance that we call high-school. Seriously, I just want to get out of here. If I didn't have Reyna, I probably would've died by boredom right now. While she's focused on trivial things, I've been battling one of the more grandeur questions of this society. Why are we put on this Earth? I probably will only get a few leads, but while I navigate these populated halls of pure emotion, I am confident that with Reyna and Isaac by my side I'll survive... and find some sort of answer for the questions I seek. I have a feeling this is going to be a great year. - Cassidy Perdiot (Junior) [/style]

Between my siblings and summer work I procrastinated on, it's looking like a pretty weak ending to this summer. I didn't even get my demo cd done. Harrumph. Oh well. I did hang out just a tad bit with Reyna, but she was too busy. Cassidy and I had another fight. She's just too science-y. Anyway, Reyna told me I should audition for Hairspray. I don't know... musicals are always just too happy. I prefer to be a realist. Though it would be cool to be on the stage, even if I happened to be rocking a 50's hairstyle. I don't know yet, but between trying to apologize to Cassidy and dealing with hyper-active Reyna, this year'll be pretty interesting. I have a feeling this is going to be a great year. - Isaac York (Junior) [/style]

We, as a community, can't let such priceless lives be wasted again. Therefore, after talking to the generous and caring sponsors of Farlax Prep, they have agreed to open their doors to the families who's children previously attended McKinley. Farlax Prep is preparing its campus at this moment, receiving donations to make more classrooms and completely take care of the kids they are picking up. Stay with us during these tumultuous times, for if this is the storm, a clear sky is ahead! Though several staff, students, and community members lost their lives, we cannot let their dedication and memories be in vain! As a community, this grief has brought us together. Together, we shall rise above and grow together. Farlax Prep is doing their part, and we need to as well. That is why I'm asking you to donate to Farlax, to our school district, so the students that once attended McKinley High can start anew with those people who've been through the whole event with them. Counselors will be at the ready. I swear to you as superintendent of our school district, that we will not leave you or the students to figure this out by yourselves. As always, we continue to serve you Would you like to save this draft? [/style]

05. REVIEW

During the first few weeks of school for the city of Farlax, a terrible tragedy occurred. The older section of McKinley High School, well over 100 years old, collapsed after a small aftershock from a nearby earthquake rattled its foundation. During this travesty, auditions for the highly anticipated musical of Hairspray were underway and the first mock Scholastic Decathlon meet was in session.Though emergency responders worked harder than ever, many lives were lost to the crushing weight of the old building.

Friends, teachers, brothers, sisters, parents, classmates, community members, enemies, strangers. A whole community was wounded. So many people lost someone dear to them. Those who didn't were most likely wounded. Perhaps they're still in the hospital? Regardless, no one could be the same. The school was a physical backdrop to the ruin inside of everyone.

A broken community, full of perhaps and what ifs and maybes, tried to rebuild itself. Services were held, memorial days were given, but still, education had to be held high. With rennovations, All of the high school students would be attending the private campus of Farlax Prep for no charge (Those who went there before still have to pay, though a reduced rate.) While it isn't an ideal situation for cross town rivals, everyone agreed it was the best situation at the time.

The town of Farlax has suffered through something almost unspeakable, but yet, there is hope. A hope, different for every citizen, but almost palpable. Will you reach out towards the hope?

Perhaps.
