Mrs. Dailey’s Students Visit Bellisio
Contributed by Mrs. Dailey

On Thursday, March 5, several of Mrs.
Dailey’s hospitality students took a field trip to
the Bellisio Foods and ate lunch at Rowdy’s in
Jackson, Ohio. Students were given a tour of
the facility and samples of foods produced
there, such as pizza rolls. The automation of
the factory was truly amazing, and the
students greatly enjoyed the outing.

The Love of Saint Patrick
          Submitted by Jaycelyn Caldwell

         May the love of Saint Patrick,
           find a place in your heart
     A love of a country, a land set apart,
               A love of a people
              So proud and true,
              and lastly the love,
          The love that I feel for you.

Possibly one of the most famous Irish songs is
“Danny Boy,” a poem about the country’s struggle
for independence,
by Frederick
Edward Weatherly.

Oh Danny boy, the
pipes, the pipes
are calling
From glen to glen,
and down the
mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And when you come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

                            By Savannah St. Clair
                             I’m doing a restaurant
review on Outback Steakhouse. I went to Outback
Steakhouse last Sunday with my family. We went
in and sat down and ordered our drinks. Then, we
ordered our food. I got potato soup and fries. The
food was very good. The service was amazing. I
would highly recommend going to Outback
Steakhouse if you want to have quality family time
and good food. Golden Corral has 4 stars on their
website. They have excellent waitresses and
waiters.The people that work there are extremely
respectful and do their job well.

As part of the Landmark Moments Fellowship
Program, Mr. Fowler, Mrs. Fleming, Mr. Shafer,
and Mrs. Donohue,along with Portsmouth West
history teacher, Mrs. Carolyn Callihan, presented a
lesson for Mr. Fowler's American History students
on the government, industry, and travel
opportunities in several New England states,
including Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
In addition to learning about the area, students
had pancakes made with real maple syrup from
Vermont and blueberry muffins, made with Maine
blueberries. As a special surprise, Mr. Shafer
brought in a live lobster, donated by Red Lobster

part of the lesson on Maine's economy. This
program is directed by Dr. Denise Shockley,
