Celebrity Day and Tacky Day at North Middle

 Today we are having Celebrity day and it was hilarious because in the morning this boy name Caleb was dressed like Madea and he had a dress on and had a purse on. As he walked down the hall I could see the expressions in alot of people faces, and he walked down the hall with confidents and he didnt look embarrased. I jus love Spirit Week at Hazelwood North Middle.!
 We had Wacky Tacky day on Wednesday and everyone was very colorful. I had alot of layers of clothes on I was pretty hot but I wasnt that much. When I got on the bus that morning everybody was laughing at me because I was so tacky. That was the best day of Spirit Week.

Candace Parker was born in St.Louis on April 19, 1986. She started playing basketball at the age of 2 years old. And college recruiters and her family said she was born to play basketball because her family was full of athletes. She attended Naperville High School and she played basketball for them and lead them to the two state championship and she was the recipient of numerous awards including being named the High School Player of the Year by Gatorade and USA Today. During Candace's senior year in high school, she was named to the prestigious McDonald's All Americian Women's Team. Candace's college career started off slow as she was forced to redshirt her first year due to an ACL tear. When her college career officially started in 2005-06, Candace took the NCAA by storm averaging 17.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. She also became the first female to dunk in a NCAA Tournament Game and the first woman to dunk twice in any. The next season, Candace was a first team All American and the SEC Player of the Year. Candace may be known for dunking, but she has a good all-around game.She can score in a variety of ways. She can post up, take her defender off the dribble and she can hit a long-range shot. Candace is also a force on the defensive end, she can rebound and play good one-on-one D! No question, Candace is now a star in the WNBA. !
