Heck yes, were going trickor-treating. Its fun, and its a way for us to hold on to our childhood even if its just one day a year. -- Junior Melissa Lopez
But what happens when the kids you are scaring are your own classmates? This year at KCHS a surprising amount of students are making plans to do some trick-ortreating of their own. Heck yes, were going trickor-treating, Junior Melissa Lopez said of her and her friends. Its fun and its a way for us (my friends and I) to hold on to our childhood even if its just one day a year. Other students, however, say its time to grow up. I think its very childish, Junior R.J. Rodriguez said. Regardless of whether dressing up and trick-or-treating is childish, students still Þnd joy in the traditions surrounding Halloween.
Halloween. KCISD Nurse Bernadette Bluhm gave her stance on the holiday. I dont like Halloween, she said. Its not the Holiday, but kids come to school the next day tired because they stayed up all night and they also have headaches from sugar rushes and rotten teeth. But rotten teeth and sugar rushes aside, childrenof all agesstill go out every year in hope of scoring more candy than the year before. Halloween had become more of an excuse for teenagers to dress up, goof off and act like kids again according to Freshman Lauren Garza. We get to dress crazy and have fun. What could be better?

Girls Cross Country Team Runs with Heart
s I rounded the last half mile of the two-mile district Cross Country course, pain shot through my twisted ankle. I felt I couldnt possibly climb that last hill along Starke Park in Seguin. But just ahead of me was my teammate Junior Melissa Lopez. She slowed and waited for me, reached out and grabbed my arm and pulled me farther ahead with her. It was clear she was adamant that we, as a team, would Þnish; no one would be left behind. Cross Country is a very enduring sport. It takes the mental and physical endurance that all runners train to acquire, but here at KCHS it has also grown to mean a close knit team. This years early morning practices consisted mostly of girls,
Opinion column because most of our boys team was is involved in football and other activities. We are a younger group this year other than senior runners Genna Kopecki and Frankee Padron, so starting out we had a less experienced team when it came to running at the varsity level. At District last week, Genna set a positive example. She was not feeling well but ran the course anyway. Because of her leadership throughout the season, we all respect her and how hard she has worked at running throughout her high school
career. It seems we all grew closer to each other whether we were pushing each other harder, sharing the latest gossip as usual, or just talking about how school was going for us. Sure, as any other team we have our problems, like envying that one runner for Þnishing with a better time, but then you realize that you need to step it up and push it harder to beat that individual. Along with the leadership of Genna on our team you will see one of our youngest runners Robin Garcez, a freshman, leading the Lady Badger pack. Robin pushes herself in practice and on her own time, and her dedication to the sport and to running in general is another
positive example for our team. I have come to refer to her as Speedy Garcez because I claim she runs by so quickly you never knew she was there. She just laughs and in her humble way says thank you and keeps on going. Were a relatively young team, so I look forward to the continued camaraderie we will share as we grow stronger as individuals and as a team. I thank each member of the Lady Badger Cross Country team for her time and dedication to our efforts, and I wish all of you the best of luck at this weekends Regional Meet. Jamie Fleming, a sophomore, is a reporter for The Badger Times and a member of the Lady Badger Cross Country Team, which placed second at District Oct. 24.
