Māui Dolphin By: Gretchen L., Ainsley M., and Laurel R. Māui dolphins are critically endangered, with only 50 -60 individuals left! These tiny dolphins live off the west coast of New Zealand with little to no protected waters. They eat fish and small squid that can easily be confused with ocean debris. Their main threats are trawling and gill netting.

Trawling is when fishermen drag a large net on the ocean floor.

The net has two weighted doors on the bottom to keep the net open and on the seafloor. Because it drags on the bottom it is built to destroy anything and everything in its path, which completely ruins coral reefs and offsets the ecological balance. The net is also fast enough that if a dolphin gets inside they can’t get out.

Gillnetting is when a stable mesh net is set up to catch larger fish.

Fish swim into the net, get their heads stuck and aren’t able to get out because their gills get caught in the net. Dolphins and whales can’t see the mesh with echo-location so they swim right into it.

When they get their heads stuck they struggle thus entangling themselves more. Unable to reach air, within a matter of minutes they drown.

There is an organization called Mission Blue that is helping the Maui dolphins. Mission Blue creates hope spots all over the world.

A hope spot is an area of protected water where animals can live safely. Their goal is to have at least 30% of the ocean protected by 2030. Only 4.8 % of the ocean is protected right now. All of their donations go towards expeditions, expansion of public outreach and the support of their scientific partners..

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

1. Donate at https://mission-blue.org/tag/maui-dolphin/ 2. Help spread the word 3. Buy seafood products that are MSC certified

MSC stands for Marine Stewardship Council they certify sustainable fishing companies. Sustainable fishing is when fishermen do not use gear that harms marine life such as Trawling and Gillnetting or catch too many fish in one area.

The Most Influential Woman I Know By: Miranda R. The most influential woman in my life is my aunt, Kourtney; she has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I respect her so much because she is like a third parent to me and my siblings, I love her with all of my heart. Kourtney is always there for me and I know that I can talk to her about things that I can’t always go to my parents about. My aunt is an amazing woman that has helped me through some hard times.

My favorite memory of me and my aunt is when I came out to her. She was the first family member I came out as bisexual to; it happened during the beginning of summer break in 2018. I was very upset because my first relationship had just ended. Granted, it had only lasted a month, but I was upset with the way it turned out. The rest of my family had noticed that I was grumpy, but Kourtney was the only one who bothered to check on me and see what was up. She came into my room and asked what was going on. At first, I told her that it was problems with my friend, but then I told her the truth.

“It’s not my friend. It’s my girlfriend. I’m bisexual. Surprise,” I told her.

“You are? Okay, what happened?”

I told her all about it and she listened. When I was done telling the story she told me that at my age, she went through a similar thing and relationships before you have a car are hard. She gave me some advice that actually did help me, then she encouraged me to tell my parents. We went to dinner and afterward, I told them. It was a really special moment for me because it showed me that she cared and was willing to listen to me.

Another memory I have of me and my aunt together was not too long ago. It was at the end of March, when my older brother was home from Purdue for his spring break. My parents were gone so she was hanging out with us.

One thing happened that caused an argument between my brother and me and Kourtney. It was a back and forth thing that if I could go back in time, I would change many things about that night. It got very heated, and at one point all three of us were in tears. I could tell that one point of the argument hit a nerve in Kourtney, so she got up and went home. This reminded me of a lot of elements in the book Rage Becomes Her. The book talks about female rage and how people in society respond to that. The book showed me that it is okay to be mad sometimes.

Even the most influential women in history have gotten mad and done something they regret. This concept helped me understand what my aunt was going through, and what I was going through even though it was two different types of anger. Both of these stories are ones that I will have with me forever. A memory you have of someone important in your life doesn’t always have to be positive. That is something I learned while reading this incredible book.

My aunt Kourtney inspires me in more ways than I can describe, but the biggest thing that I respect about her is her confidence and how she is always willing to keep it real with me. That is what inspires me to be the best woman I can be. I am very similar to my aunt, more than I am to my mom. We look similar, we have similar personalities, and we both have anxiety (which is part of where I got it from). The similarities between us really bring us together. I always enjoy hearing her hilarious stories; they always bring me up. There is so much to say about my incredible aunt; too much to write in one essay.

While there are many influential women in my life, Kourtney is the closest to me. She has been there since the day I was born and I am thankful for all she does for me every single day. Although I always enjoy seeing and spending time with her, that is not what makes her the most special woman in my life.

What makes her so important to me is the fact that she is always there to put a smile on my face when I feel down. I honestly don’t know what I would do in this world without Kourtney in my life.

Lyric

By Anonymous Dazzling, holding the world inside Spread out your wings, you are an angel Go to sleep and dream again Love is still the answer The same moon shines, the same wind blows Through every precious day If you’re feeling tired and lonely Rest your weary head and let your heart decideYou have the power to love and to live A brand new day’s beginning Set aside for us Wait for the sunrise Let me take your hand It was all meant to be Written in the stars.

The Castle By: Grace H.

Once upon a time in a happy little fantasy story, a poor little girl was out on the streets sleeping on dirt and rock.

A doctor was shocked to see the little girl so the doctor said let me get you something to eat like…

The girl said shapes squares and triangle sandwich, no you need a feast. You also will need new clothe oh we’ll do your hair. Wait, what are you doing? I’m trying to get you ready to go in the…

Happy Little Fantasy Castle.

…………………………………

“Ok Enzo, can you reach the doorknob?” “ Ok course I can.” “ Great! Now, let’s escape.” “Ok. Let’s go to the science room. There might be some rats there for testing. That sounds like a great snack right now. You find my rats and I will go back to the classroom and find some of your greens.” “ Oh here is a rat.” “Here is gome greens.” “Thanks Enzo!” “ You too, George.”

Fun facts…

It is believed that rainbow got its name from its shape. A rainbow’s arc looks similar to a bow for shooting arrows. People also noticed that this colorful arc would only form when it was raining so they called it a rainbow.

A cloud is a mass of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that float in the air.

Bat help with getting rid of mosquitos. Brown bats can catch over 1,000 mosquitos in an hour.
