Students dressed up as executives, superheroes and more Thursday as Spirit Week moved toward its climax with this afternoon's rally, the Homecoming Game against JFK High School, and the Homecoming Dance.

Thursday was “CEO Day” for seniors; “Plaid Day” for juniors; “Pajama Day” for sophomores; and “Superhero Day” for freshmen.

The Class of ’08 got businesslike for “CEO Day.” Seniors dressed in pinstriped suits and pencil skirts strutted from class to class. Some went the whole nine yards and carried briefcases in place of backpacks. Senior Rickey Gonzalez was ready for the’s theme, even though he missed other theme days. “I didn’t even know about Spirit Week until Thursday,” he said chuckling “It’s cool, though, I’ve got a lot of suits.”

If you thought surviving one hellacious night with a hoard of bloodthirsty vampires was tough, try lasting a whole month in the below freezing temperatures! In 30 Days of Night, a film by British film director David Slade, inhabitants of the small town of Barrow, Alaska must outlast a vampire invasion of the worst kind. Each winter, this northernmost town of the United States is immersed in complete darkness for a whole month, making it a feast of gargantuan proportions for a band of fierce, cunning, and above all ruthless band of vampires who arrive in town.

At first glance, she may seem just like an ordinary teacher, but James Logan Biotechnology teacher Sue Hinojoza is something of a magician, conjuring up $3.25 million for the school using just words on paper.

It all started when Hinojoza and Logan science teacher Emily Panico decided to start a biotechnology academy at Logan. They needed an adequate funding source, and wrote applications for grants to get the needed money, but were turned down twice. On the third try, however, Hinojoza's application won $290,000 and she was hooked from then on.

From wikipedia:
Georges Jacques Danton (October 26, 1759 – April 5, 1794) was a leading figure in the early stages of the French Revolution and the first President of the Committee of Public Safety. Danton's role in the onset of the Revolution has been disputed; many historians describe him as "the chief force in the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the First French Republic". A moderating influence on the Jacobins, he was guillotined by the advocates of revolutionary terror after accusations of venality and leniency to the enemies of the Revolution.

Life
Danton was born at Arcis-sur-Aube in northeastern France, to a respectable though not wealthy family. He was given a good education, and he was launched in the career of an advocate at the Paris bar.
