![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 Lego Ninjago Movie” inspires people to be better
People in need of a little pick me up should mark their calendars for Dec. 12. That’s when “The Lego Ninjago Movie” comes out as a digital download. No longer in theaters, the film was inspired by a popular TV series which is available on Netflix. The TV series will get you excited and ready for the movie which you won’t want to miss.
It shows how people have feelings-even the worst of us-and how we can help each other to be better people.
The story takes place in a high school in Lego City where the main character, Lloyd, has to face his enemy the evil warlord Garmadon, who is also his father.
Lloyd needs to know how to fight, so he goes to get help from Sensei Wu, the best ninja teacher. He also gets help from his friends who are ninja warriors.
This movie shows how important family is. Lloyd has to fix his relationship with his father.
If you’re looking for a movie to watch with a little brother or sister, this is a great choice. It will be especially helpful if you are fighting with your sibling, because it might give you a chance to take a step back and recognize the importance of your family.
I learned a lot from this cartoon because it taught me that there is always the chance that you can become a better person in your life, and how your words can help others to change themselves.
So, catch a couple episodes of the TV show on Netflix and get ready for the film’s release in December.
