1 Artists who work with paint often use the three primary colors: yellow, blue, and red. From those three colors, all other possible colors are created. To get shades of green, yellow and blue are mixed in different amounts. For purples, blue is mixed with red. On the other hand, light has different primary colors: red, green, and blue.

I am deeply concerned about the recent cancellation of the upcoming lunchtime pep rally. I understand that the faculty is worried that students will be late to class after the rally. However, the rallies are an important part of developing school spirit. In addition, rallies are very cool, especially when kids get to join in. The events bring students together, and new friendships are often created. Indeed, the likelihood that two individuals might develop an everlasting bond is quite high. That’s why I’m very disappointed that this month’s rally was canceled. I certainly hope those in charge reconsider.
