“Noggin Shock”D.I. Team Advances to Globals
by Susan Morrison
The Destination Imagination Team, "Noggin Shock"
won their state competition at
David Lipscomb College and
has advanced to Globals competition in Knoxville, Tn.
This D.I. Team consists of 7
students that attend MPMSVPA. They are 6th graders Carley
Fritts and Carleigh Thomason,
7th graders Justin Davis, Elijah
White, Emma Kelley, Sanaa
Witherspoon and Clark Hill.
MPMSVPA teacher, Audrey
Bryant is there team manager.
Destination Imagination is
a team that focuses on using
the creative process to solve
open ended problems. Each
year teams all across the globe
are given challenges to choose
from and to compete against
each other. These challenges
include technical, scientific,
structural, fine arts, improv,
service learning and rising
star. Noggin Shock had chosen the structural challenge.
The had to design and build a
structure, design and build a
removal device for their structure, design and build a set and
to tell their story of how they
developed creative solutions
to their challenge.
The team will be traveling
to Knoxville for a week long
competition in competing
against other teams from not
only across the U.S. but from
all over the world.
The team was asked what they
liked about being a part of
Destination Imagination.
Carley Fritts stated she likes
D.I. "because it's something
we wouldn't do in a regular
school day, it's more challenging than regular school work,
more detailed, more imaginative and we make more
friends".
Elijah White said "you can
describe the team as a little
family". It was also said that
D.I. has taught them to think
outside of the box, that life
isn't perfect, things will go
wrong and you'll have to figure out how to solve that. D.I.

EIGHT PAGES
D.I team wins State Competition. kneeling, Justin Davis; L to R Carleigh Thomason, Emma
Kelley, Clark Hill, Audrey Bryant team manager, Carley Fritts, Elijah White and Sanaa Witherspoon
can't give up.
When asked if they thought
D.I. will benefit them as adults
and how, Sanaa Witherspoon
said she thought it will because "we had lots of math and
there's a lot of trial and error
that goes into what we do and
when I grow up I want to be a
mechanical engineer, so if I'm
going to be inventing things.
I'm going to have to work out
all the math and science that
goes along with it and this will
help prepare me".
Kids on Stage has been a
very big supporter of Destination Imagination and with
that support has enabled the
D.I. team to continue at the
level they are. In years past
the community has also been
a big supporter of the kids on
the D.I. Teams. The D.I. Team is taking donations to help fund their trip
to compete in the Globals
competition. Anyone interested in making a donation may
contact Audrey Bryant at Mt.
Pleasant Middle School.
We want to congratulate
team Noggin Shock for their
state win and GOOD LUCK
with their competition at

credit/debit cards. The fee will
be $2.00 for bills up to $100.00
and 2.95% of the amount due
for bills over $100.00. To pay
with online checking the fee
will be somewhat less. Citizens will be able to go to the
Mt. Pleasant City website and
find the link to make their payment. Citizens wishing to pay
tickets will also be able to do
so with a credit card. The city
is hoping to have Nexbill Pay
in place and to begin accepting payments thru them by
June 1st but will be notifying
the citizens when this will be
available. The citizens will not
be able to pay property taxes
thru Nexbill Pay at this time,
but this is something the city
is looking at in the future.
Also approved by the commissioners is the purchase and
installation of an emergency power generator transfer
switch at the water plant. This
will enable the city to place a
generator at the water plant in
the event of a power outage at
the water plant to continue to
operate and provide water to
residents. Grants aren't available at this time to purchase
both a generator and the transfer switch with installation,
but purchase of a generator is
a hope in the future. The city
can contract with companies
who rent generators that will
ensure the city access to one in
the event of a power failure.

No Other Love Like Mother’s Love
A Mother’s love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away.
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking.
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking.
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
and it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems.
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
life the mysteries of creation.
A many-splendored miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.

As In The Days of Noah
When Jesus was asked by
His disciples about His coming again, He said, “However,
no one knows the day or the
hour when these things will
happen, not even the angels in
heaven or the Son
himself. Only the
Father
knows.
When the Son of
Man returns, it
will be like it was
in Noah’s day. In
those days before
the Flood, the
people were enjoying banquets
and parties and
weddings right up
to the time Noah
entered his boat.
People didn’t realize what was
going to happen
until the Flood
came and swept them all away.
That is the way it will be when
the Son of Man comes. (Matt.
24:36-39, NLT)
First, Jesus validated the
Old Testament story of Noah.
In the days of Noah, people
had grown so wicked and corrupt that God sent a worldwide flood to destroy all living
things on the earth. Only Noah
and his family and at least two
of every kind of living thing
aboard the Ark survived the

great deluge. After the waters
receded, Noah and his family
and the animals started to repopulate the earth. But unfortunately, many today through
out the world have forgotten
the God
who created everything
and once
again live
sinful,
wicked
lives.
Too bad
we did
not learn
from history!
Second, Jesus said
that before He
returns, things will once again
be like the days of Noah. Everyone will be going about
their lives, eating, and drinking, and partying and not realizing what is coming. Jesus is
coming again! And when He
comes the believers will rejoice in their salvation, but the
unbelievers will mourn.
As our world grows ever
more wicked, and as our society condones and approves
of things the Bible calls sin,
we are once again becoming
like the days of Noah. Many
will scoff and deny that there
is God and that judgment is
coming. So they did in the
days of Noah….until the flood
came and took them away!
My friend, please heed the
warning before it is too late!
Jesus is coming soon! If you
believe in Him, you will be
saved. But if you do not, judgment is coming.

look forward for the morrow.
