It was spirit day for the eight grade classes. We were divided into four different "Teams" of students. These teams were usually named after a certain theme, but our team was called "Team Safety." Our colors were bright, neon yellow. It was an absolutely hideous color, and no one really wanted to wear those colors on themselves.

To the Moniteau Co. R-I School Board, For the students of California High School, having a four day school week is a repugnant idea.

If school were to get out later, students who
