by Nina Lees and Rose Callahan Recently Chet’s Video and Candy Shop closed. Fortunately, only the video renting closed. Candy is still open! Instead of it being at the old building it has moved to ...ORANGE LEAF! Although this might sound like a crazy idea it's actually quite convenient and popular. The new candy is in the back of the store and everything that you loved from Chet’s is there! Some of the candies include lollipops, gum, chocolate, and lots of awesome choices. If there just isn't flavors of ice cream, you can pick from the many new selections of candy. Chet's candy wall is a great addition to the already, wonderful Orange Leaf. Therefore we give this a…

Village School has had a major change. Students with phones have been forced to put all electronics in a bin or container. This has a not-so-happy mood. Why?

It went down as one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history. From the ashes, new nations and empire would rise. But some great empires like the Ottoman Empire would not survive the war. It’s hard to imagine that a small town of less than 20,000 would greatly help contribute to the United States war efforts. But one little town did, and its name is Marblehead, Massachusetts. Of the 4,355,000 soldiers mobilized by the United States in World War 1. A surprising 1,346 of those brave men and women were from Marblehead alone. Over 189,000 Massachusetts residents also served in the war. Of the total 5,775 bay state residents killed in action, 6 of them we
