I'm not sure if I was supposed to comment on this post or the other one, so I deeply apologise If I got it wrong. Also, I have been unable to contact Ms. Reed, so I have ridiculously limited information. I shall attempt to contact her tomorrow at lunch, so perhaps I will have extra info by class time. As it stands now, however, here are, to the best of my ability, my 5 W's and 1 H.

A cakewalk, bounce house, and many innovative games will be featured at Maggie Walker's very own Fall Festival on September 30th from 4-8pm.
The festival, held on school grounds at N. Lombardy St., will feature clubs showing off their specialties at individual booths. Pupils, parents, and friends are invited to attend this event organized by Maggie Walker students and the PTSA in a collaborative effort.
It should be a unique chance to socialize with friends, enjoy food and drink, and partake in activities such as face-painting and making caramel apples.
With hopes of finalizing construction of a well in Africa, Maggie Walker’s Global Citizens Corps is partnering with the Frisbee Club to hold a Frisbee competition on September 23 from 3:30 to 6:30 PM on the Athletic Fields.
"Our purpose is to raise awareness and find solutions for the crises occurring worldwide," says Dr. Spencer, sponsor of Global Citizen Corps. All proceeds from this competition will go towards the $5,000 well construction project that began last year.
"Hunger, aids, lack of education, and environmental changes are the current causes of poverty, but with determination they are reducible,” concluded Dr. Spencer.
Starting a backgammon club at MLWGS has been an interest of mathematics faculty member Ms. Lynn Foshee Reed since this summer, when she attended MathFest, a convention held annually by the Mathematical Association of America.
“We had about ten people show up to the meeting on Tuesday”, Ms. Reed said, referring to a meeting held last week in room 107 “most of them were somewhat experienced players, but we had a few people who were just interested in learning.”
There are plans in place to elect officers, develop by-laws, and get MLGS registered with the US Backgammon Federation, but the club must first be submitted to Ms Hawkins, which has to happen before the Oct. 31st deadline.
"It's the law!" said Mr. Wilkes. Sometime in the next month, Maggie Walker must observe Constitution Day.
Last year, people such as George Allen and Tim Kaine were brought in to speak. This year students will be presented with a classroom lesson... if it is carried through.
With a score of 1-0, tied up until he last possible minute of the game, the MLWGS Varsity Field Hockey Team pulled off a hard-fought victory against Deep Run.
"We have really good team unity on and off the field," says Gabi Delleon, who plays sweeper on the team, "and also we just have better stick skills." The intense match happened at home on September 15, 2011.
n.i.b. idea: what is the purpose of the code of conduct test? what happens to people who don't take it?
