![MORE THAN A GAME. With two diving catches in the outfield, the Lions showed up defensively, aiding in their victory over the Pacers. One catch was made by Atwood, and the other by McGraw. Throughout the game, the Lions knew that it wasn’t just about their victory today. “I think [playing for cancer] makes it bigger than just a game,” McGraw said. “Knowing that you have a bigger impact in this world than just who you are as one person.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/I70A1454-1-1200x800.jpg)

The students brought a variety of paints and mixed their own custom colors. “Instead of brushstrokes, we’re doing more dabbing, because it gives [a] better impression of tree foliage, rather than looking like actual brush strokes, because if we’re painting trees, we need it to look like trees,” Crawford said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_2397-1200x900.jpg)
“The Nut Job 2”

“The Nut Job 2” is the best cartoon out there. It shows us how a team can work together in the jungle and how the animals help each other to keep the earth a place for everyone.
The story takes place at a park in New York City, and in the middle of the park there is a big tree where all the animals live having fun until a rich businessman tries to destroy the park to build a big building. Two squirrels, Surly and Andie, played by Will Arnett and Katherine Heigl respectively, are the only ones who can stop this and save the park. Arnett and Heigl do a great job on the voices for the two main characters.
I like the sequel because they made the graphics of the movie really well and the movement in the movie really stands out. The emotion shown on the face of each animal was the best thing in the movie.
I learned a lot from this movie. If you’re big or small you have to always try to be the best you can be and to never gave up on what you want to do.
