Emma Goblirsch takes time out of her busy day to sew her new pointe shoes to prepare for a dance competition over the weekend. Goblirsch loved being able to add her own special touch to the shoes, despite the extra time and energy it took. "They come without any elastics or ribbons attached, so everyone sews them on by themselves. It takes a really long time, but then they're perfect," Goblirsch said. "Everyone wants some variety. Sometimes I sew my back elastic crisscross, sometimes I sew them in just one loop, and sometimes I add extra elastic to the front."

Steve Coron enjoys a peanut Washtenaw Dairy donut he sent a student to purchase from Sparrow Market. Coron was kind enough to buy donuts for the block four journalism class students as a special treat. Despite concerns from his wife about the safety of his credit card, Steve trusts some of his students to buy them. "My wife says, Why are you buying donuts for these kids all the time? And I say, because I love to feed the babies," Coron said. "If you put your trust in teenagers, it's always a crapshoot, isn't it? But I know who to trust now."

Addie McCready poses with Stella the Giraffe in front of the forum reading challenge bookcase. McCready had not been participating in the challenge, but held confidence in her forum to pull through. “I personally am not doing the hottest on the reading challenge. I have not contributed a single book, but in my heart, I'm contributing,” McCready said. “I don't know how my forum is doing, but I know that we have some big readers, so hopefully they can pull my weight.”
