TIMES

Relay for Life was a 5 mile

walk on the beach in honor of

cancer survivors and the ones

who died fighting the terrible

disease. The person who set it

up for our school was Mrs. Cos-

ta and she made a goal of

$2,000 although we only raised

$1,800. All the money our

school made goes to cancer

research. Some ways that they

made the money was by people

making donations in the walk

and by people donating 5 dol-

lars to light up luminaries which

are lit up paper bags aligned on

the beach. The person who

donated money for the bag

nominated someone in honor

of their fight with cancer. The

people who were nominated

could be someone alive or

someone dead. A popular

person who was nominated is

Talia Castellano who was a

famous makeup artist on

YouTube that died at the age

of 13 last year.

RELAY FOR LIFE

The Bobcat’s spring con-

cert occurred on March 5th,

2015. Mr. Rodriguez, Ms.

Porter, and Ms. Ruben all

helped bring the concert

together. The first perfor-

mances were done by Mr.

Rodriguez’s guitar and

orchestra group. Mrs. Cala-

bresi attended the show

and stated that her favorite

part was when Richard

Lopez played the piano

and when Christian Cala-

bresi played the chords for

the song “The Water is

Wide.” Mrs. Calabresi

also stated that the Bobcat

talent was outstanding

throughout the evening.

“It was a pleasure to listen

to all the performances

and all the music teachers

rocked!” stated Mrs. Cala-

bresi. Tobias Paglioroli

played a solo on the violin

and stated “I do it all the

time and it felt great!”

Sophia Cuervo sang

“Lean on Me", and she

said it made her extremely

nervous, however, it was a

great experience. Ms.

Ruben’s students played

the recorders after the

orchestra and guitar stu-

dents played. Many par-

ents and students were

entertained by the perfor-

mances that Mr. Rodri-

guez, Ms. Ruben, and

Ms. Porter put together

for their enjoyment. So

next time you want to see

a great concert, come by

to the Bobcat’s next per-

formance!

getic! You love to do activities and

you’re always active! You would

rather go to the beach than staying at

home.

Laid Back

If you got mostly green, you are laid

back! You are sort of active. You rather

go walking than laying down on your

bed.

Inactive

You dislike doing activities. You would

rather stay home than go swimming.

ours, made art revolving

around its 100th year. Mrs.

Vidal Santos’ art classes

made posters for the event.

All the art was displayed in

city hall. A lot of the pic-

tures created include warm

beach scenery with tall palm

trees as well as the tall sky-

downtown. Thanks to Dade

County, we were able to

show off our art skills for the

Ever wonder where you want to

go for Spring break? Well you’re

just in luck, the journalism team

has recently surveyed many Bob-

cats to see where they would

rather vacation during the break.

They had to choose between New

York, California, and Hawaii,

and the most common pick was

California. Maybe your next

destination will be California!

Ndamukong Suh hit the open market

on March 10, 2015 at 4 p.m. He

was considered to be the number

one agent on the “free agent” mar-

ket. He recently played for the

Detroit Lions and he was looking

for a record breaking deal with a

team that has playoff hopes. Many

teams wanted this one particular

player, but no one wanted to over

pay for him except for our

hometown team, The Miami Dol-

phins. His contract was a 114 mil-

lion dollar contract for 6 years, with

60 million guaranteed. Hopefully,

he lives up to his expectations with

his new team The Miami Dolphins.
