Rotary Club: The Holland Rotary Club is focusing on bringing awareness to world hunger, and how to help, so the club has decided to have a competition between the advisory classes to go along with the dogeball tournament to get more kids to participate. Rotary Club is going to place a giant cardboard box in each class, where kids can place canned food, which will later be donated to Kids Food Basket. The winner will be announced at the dodgeball tournament, and the next Wednesday will receive a prize of donuts from DeBoers.

Word of the Day

Nadir refers to the lowest or worst point of something. When used in astronomy, nadir describes the point of the celestial sphere that is directly opposite the zenith and vertically downward from the observer.

Only once the novel’s protagonist reaches her nadir does she arouse the reader’s empathy, and we root for her to climb back to respectability.
