Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:

Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)

Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.

The Simplicity of Magic:
A Paragraph on Magic

Magic can be found anywhere. Whether it's with your friends, with your family, or with yourself, magic is always there (Anaphora). With your friends, the simplest things can uncover the most aesthetic (FAST) magic. Family members can also fill your life with magic. For example, I just received a phone call from my little niece, which brightened up my entire day. By yourself magic is just as nonchalant (FAST) as, listening to your "Ipod" and your favorite song comes on. The thing that all of these instances have in common, is simplicity. Magic doesn't have to be as complicated as magicians doing tricks, or fire-breathing dragons. Instead, it can be in the form of a chuckle with a friend, a phone call, or even a song. Anybody can experience magic, and I'm sure everybody already has. Our whole lives are magical; you just have to look beyond the tip of your nose.
