Every two minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer. These are our neighbors, people that were on my daughters softball team. I am closing on $20,000 dollars in Kira Spedales honor. I dont want that story to keep repeating. The Baltic scholars are pediatric oncologists completely focused on pediatric cancer the money that is raised most important impact is funding treatments that improve the life of survivors in a huge way. -Co-founder Steven Strauss

Do two years at COD. Get your general requirements out of the way. You dont have money to waste. People forget about that. The worst thing you can do it drown yourself, or your parents, in debt. Also remember that however many schools accept you is not a measure of your success. There is not just one school that will make you happy either. You can be successful at any school you attend. --Mr. Felix Visit all of the colleges you applied to. I applied to five or six schools, but I only visited one. I wish I would have visited University of Wisconsin-Madison because it is gorgeous. --Mrs. Zentner

The weiner dog one was my favorite! -Lexie Ferzacca, sophomore

Honestly, I didnt think the half-time show was that good of a performance. I dont know, it just didnt live up to previous years performances. -Alex Wood, sophomore

Best commercial was the one with the the monkey puppy baby. I was disappointed by the Budweiser commercial...there was no sad dog. -Jack Davis, junior

My favorite commercial was the Dorritos one with the baby. -Dom Castanoli, junior

The half-time show was good. Bruno Mars sucks at lip syncing, but he was still great at dancing. Coldplay was the best though. -Danielle Fite, sophomore

I didnt watch the Super Bowl...I was watching Gilmore Girls. -Abbie Lockie, sophomore

The one with Jeff Goldman singing the song from Jeffersons was definitely my favorite commercial, I think. -Hans Martin-Ishida, substitute teacher
