SIXTH GRADE Kids just want to have fun during lunch It could be anything from drinking soda pop from baby bottles or passing or- anges under your neck, but leadership activities at the center circle are main events for sixth graders. I like competing in leadership events because its fun and interesting. I also like the competition against other people especially when they are better than me, be- cause then it gets to be more challenging. I think that if it is more challenging then it is more fun, said Lakeisha Lockhart. What is almost as fun as competing in leadership events, is watching your friends up on center circle, doing fun and em- barrassing things like the or- ange pass. I like going to leadership ac- tivities because they are fun. I also like watching my friends perform on stage. Especially when my best friend had to do the orange pass with the boy that she liked, said Dana Ber- gan. Another leadership event that attracts kids of all ages es- pecially the sixth graders are the dances.

It is one of the only places besides the PE field that you can not do inside your classes. I also like going to the lunch dances and, I can ' t wait until I can go to the night dances. I also like going to the dances because I get to see the older kids dance and that ' s how I learn to do more dances, said Kathy Hudis. One of the most important things that the leadership ac- tivities let you do is to just act crazy and be yourself. Since sixth graders want to act crazy. This is one of the only times during school they can do this without getting into trouble. I like leadership activities because I can be with my friends and act crazy. I also like acting crazy at leadership ac- tivities because we are not al- lowed to do it in the classroom. I also like leadership activities because we also get to play around on the grass, said Ta- bitha Coleman. So if there are more leader- ship activities for the sixth graders to have fun at there will be less confusion in the class- rooms. ) 152 Sixth grade Faces

This is easy — Narman Murtaza watches T. V. and wails for one of his parents to come home as he babysits his little brother. All I have to do is make sure he doesn ' t get hurt, said Narman.
