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".

Nintendo Gamecube


At a very young age for a very short time my cousin Victor and I lived together at my grandparents house. Since he was a boy he was into all the tough hard stuff like cars, power Rangers and of course video games. He had his little red Nintendo 64 which we fought over constantly, even though there was two controllers. Our grandparents soon came to the conclusion to get me my own gaming system.
          That following Christmas, when i was around 4 or 5, I unwrapped a gift slowly and patiently because I had a a little tingle inside telling me exactly what it was, a blue Nintendo Gamecube. I also received many many games with it including Packman, Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, The legend of Zelda and my favorite Scooby-Doo: Nights of 100 Frights. 
I remember my dad and I staying up all night, at least that's what it seemed like at the time.  Scooby-Doo had always been something.that me and my father enjoyed together from birth.  Every night as soon as I get home from school , I rushed finished my homework and eat dinner so I could play.  This continued for months until I finally finished it just a few short months after I got it. I still continue to play from time to time to when I get a chance.
