FoxFire Project

The Foxfire Project, begun by Eliot Wigginton and his students in the 1960s, was designed to save from oblivion the local color of a particular Southern region: the dialect, customs, recipes, antiques, manners, clothes, games and rituals of a particular area.

As a class, the students enrolled in Ms. Rojo's AP English Language and Composition class have compiled their own stories for their own version of a “Foxfire E-Magazine” renamed "Leafing".

its going to be ok.


Death is one of the hardest things one must go through. Because it is the moment when a loved one has to go and will never return. Death has become just another part of nature even though it hurts so much. The first time I had experienced and actually understood death was at the age of 10years old and it was my Uncle Ruben Ramos past away.


My uncle lived and Juarez and he had a really hard time getting over drugs even though he tried rehabilitation, but it just didn’t work out and unfortunately he didn’t make it. At the day at the funeral I didn’t understand what had happened, I just remember that everybody wore black and people where crying. Until I had asked my dad why my uncle was laying down and wouldn’t wake up. My dad said that my uncle had to go because his time had come. My dad had said something I will never forget. He said, “God sends us to this earth with a mission and once we accomplish that mission God will call on us to return to his throne”. That was just something so wise and it just made me understand and see things from a different perspective.
Even though death is very painful there’s is always a reason it happened. Death may not seem as something many people understand. I remember my dad saying to his brother,” it’s not a good bye my friend, it’s a see you later
