And her answer was (to help children learn in a safe and loving environment). Then we asked Mrs. Ev-ans… what did you want to be when you were a child? And her answer was (a pe-diatrician). The next question was… what’s your favorite season? And she an-swered (summer). The next question that we asked her was… what was your favor-ite subject in school? And her answer was (math).

The next question that we asked her was… who was your favorite teacher? And her an-swer was (Mrs. Castello in 2nd grade and Mrs. Stenenson who taught trigonometry in high school).

And her answer was (3, I am the only girl!). We had a lot of fun interviewing Mrs. Evans and we hope all of you a happy SUMMER!!!

Mini Med School by DJ B. 6th

What do you want to be when you

grow up? We’ve all heard that ques-

tion before. Since the age of five, I

have always known that I want to

be a doctor, and after watching a

medical show one day, I became

interested in becoming a cardiolo-

gist. Several weeks ago, I attended

Black Men in White Coats Summit. I

also had a chance to go to a mini medical school where I learned

about different medical instruments that medical students use while

in medical school and as physicians. Dr. Dale Okorodudu, founder of

BMWC, read an alarming report informing the nation that the already

low number of black men applicants to medical school was decreas-

ing! During the summit, Dr. Dale said if you want to be a doctor, there

are some key things you must do to get there. The most important

thing I learned is that you must G.R.I.N.D. to get there. G-set goals, R-

have a reason or purpose, I-research information about the medical

field, N-network with peers, mentors and sponsors in the field, D-have

discipline. Dr. Dale wrote How to Raise a Doctor; which is not about

raising a doctor but how to raise a leader. The summit was a day

filled with opportunities for young black men like me to interact with

medical students and practicing physicians. I learned about various

types of doctors and how they started in medicine. Three different

doctors shared what they do. I learned about a psychiatrist, an otolar-

yngologist, and an orthopedic. Each doctor shared their experience

and how rewarding it is to be able to help and treat people. Overall, I

enjoyed my experience at the summit. I met medical students, doc-

tors and kids who want to be a doctor just like I do. I know what it

takes, and I am ready to G.R.I.N.D to get there.

Book Corner:

Holes by Louis Sachar Review by Kimora C. & Jazzy P. 5th

Holes is a great book. It is

about a boy named

“Horse”. Horse’s dad makes

shoes. One day while he

was out, he saw flying

shoes…someone threw

them. When he saw the

shoes, he immediately

grabbed them and took them

home. Later on, the police arrived

and looked around for the shoes.

They told Horse he stole the shoes

What is a Pyrador?

By Brendan K. 5th

So what is a Pyrador? A Pyra-

dor is a “designer” or hybrid

breed of dogs that blends the

loving and sweet personality of

a Labrador with the protective

personality of the Great Pyre-

nees. The Great Pyrenees is a

mountain dog from France

that herds and protects sheep.

Because they are hybrids, they cannot join the American

Kennel Club’s (AKC) roster of purebred breeds. However,

both the Lab and the Great Pyrenees are members. These

beautiful Pyradors will be the perfect dog for a family that

is willing to work hard training it. They are usually hard-

headed and stubborn, so you will have to work hard to

train it. Because of the Pyrador’s Great Pyrenees mix, it will

probably want to guard you at all costs. They are very

large and can weigh over 80 pounds. Because they are a

deep-chested breed, they may throw up if you feed them

right after exercise and vise-versa. They must exercise to

keep stimulated and to prevent them from gaining weight.

You may want to be careful if you take them on leash-free

walks because Pyradors tend to like to roam, and a strong

hunting instinct may make them chase smaller animals.

They usually live to be around ten years old. Pyradors are a

loving breed and are protective and loyal to their pack. I

have a Pyrador named “Opie,” and she is cuddly but feisty

at the same time. She shows her affection by chomping us.

Opie likes catching food in mid-air. She loves to run

around the trails. She barks at anything, even a moth flut-

tering in the air, but she is fun and I love her.

and now has to go to boot camp where you have to

dig 10 ft deep holes as punishment; It is like jail. The

next day, he went to court and was found guilty. He

got on the bus to go to boot camp which was

way out in the desert. While at boot camp, he

made a friend named X-Man, well that is what

they called him. Once while digging, they dug

so deep they got stuck in the hole. They cried

for help. No one answered. While in the hole

for days they found lots and lots of money.

Finally, they were discovered. As a reward for

finding the money, they were able to go back home

and keep some of the loads of money. Holes is a great

book you should read and there is also a movie based

on the book you should watch.

Movie Review:

The Never Ending Story

Review by Danny S. 5th

My dad sug-

gested that I

watch one of

his favorite

movies, The

Never Ending

Story. It is a

story about a

boy named Bastian who reads an

enchanted book. He goes into a

bookstore to avoid bullies, and

he finds a book named The Nev-

er Ending Story. He goes to his

school and reads it in the school

attic. The story is about a king-

dom that needs help from a hu-

man child to survive. He thinks

the child could be him. He won-

ders if the kingdom is real. I

think the movie is very interest-

ing because I like adventure. If

you like adventure movies, then

I think you will like it too!

Summer Time Fun

By Areanna J. 5th

The summer is here and it’s time to cast off some inhibitions, along with the winter clothing and make the most of the warmer weather. It’s time for bright clothes and laz-ing around, doing nothing more than soak-ing up the sun. But summer doesn’t last long, so here are some things that everyone should do this summer, before it gets too cold again. Summer won’t be summer un-less you invite some friends for a barbecue. Break out the grill and cook up a feast of under cooked burgers and overcooked chicken. Another cool and fun thing to do in the summer is going to an amusement park. Whether you have kids or not, an amusement park is always fun, for kids of all ages. Sitting in the sun is great, but sit-ting by the water’s edge is even better. Whether it’s a beach by the ocean or sitting by the side of a lake, a splash of the cool water is a great way to enjoy the sunny weather. Another fun thing to do in the summer is to go hiking. You really can’t enjoy the summer properly from the seat of the car, so park and go for a walk instead. When you walk in the open country, you get a chance to appreciate the nature around you and it’ll help keep you trim too. Fun things to do in the summer don’t necessari-ly need to be complicated. An ice cold drink, a hammock and a good read are the perfect way to unwind and relax on a balmy summer’s day. Another fun thing to do in the summer is to go to a drive-in movie. They’re still around, if you look for them, and a drive in movie is much more relaxed, than a regular movie theatre. A fantastic and nostalgic way to spend a summer even-ing. Pack a hamper with all your favorites and take off for a picnic. Spend a night or two in the fresh air and get really close to nature in a tent. You don’t have to rough it these days, to get the camping experience, you can buy all the modern camping equip-ment that will give you the comforts of your home or, if you really don’t like the idea of going out in the wilds, set up a tent in your back yard! At least, you won’t have far to go if it rains!

Have you heard that Dr. Tony Evans and Fel-lowship Christian Academy are expanding? Pastor Evans was not familiar with the Canter-bury campus until recently, but after visiting our beautiful campus and speaking with our board, Fellowship Christian Academy made it official that they were going to expand their campus. So, in the 2019/2020 school year, Canterbury and F.C.A. will join forces to be bigger and better than ever before. Stay posted for more updates!

Also, please pray for Pastor

Evans and his wife, Lois, as she battles with health issues.

CES Graduate: Pritul S.

By Aaralyn B. & Jordan W. 6th

Jordan and I had the pleasure of inter-

viewing Canterbury senior, Pirtul S. He

will be attending California Northstate

University in Elk Grove, CA. The most

important thing Pirtul has learned at

Canterbury is to have a strong work

ethic because if you don’t have a work

ethic then you won’t succeed. His best

memory here was on his trip to Wash-

ington his freshman year. One thing

he’s done to be successful is to have an

open mind. He’s most inspired by his

dad; he works hard to achieve a goal

by helping others both personally and

professionally. His biggest risk academi-

cally was waiting until the last minute

to write papers. He has self discipline

by reminding himself when to study,

talk, listen, and work. Some study tips

he’s used are to really know the materi-

al and not procrastinate. His biggest

dream is to become a surgeon and

own a Ferrari.

National Day of Prayer

By Zipporah J. 5th

The

Na-

tional

Day of

Prayer

is on

Thursday, May 2nd

. It all started

in 1952 by a joint resolution of

the United States congress,

and signed into law by Presi-

dent Harry S. Truman. This day

invites people of all faiths to

pray for the nation. It also en-

courages Christians to pray for

America’s leaders. This day has

become a national observation

placed on all hallmark calen-

dars and observed across the

nation and in Washington D.C.

Every President since 1952 has

signed a National Day of Pray-

er proclamation. This year’s

theme for the 2019 National

Day of Prayer is Love One An-

other. The theme comes from

the words of Jesus in John

13:34, “Love one another. Just

as I have loved you.”
