Offering assistance to a neighbor is a great way to help the community and get to know the people in your area.

Orion was the son of Poseidon and the most skilled hunter in all of Greece. Bored with hunting the animals of the mortal world, he descended into the underworld and began slaying its many monsters and beasts. The Goddess of Earth, Gaea, grew upset with Orion as she felt he had great disregard for nature. She sent a giant scorpion after him and after a long battle, Orion perished. Zeus then put Orion and the scorpion, Scorpius, in the sky among the stars as a favor to his daughter, Artemis, with whom Orion hunted. He was placed beside Taurus, the bull of heaven, whose hide he was born from.

Orion is one of the easier constellations to find. His most notable feature is his belt, which is made up of three bright stars in a line.
TAURUS: THE BULL
SCORPIUS: THE SCORPION
Taurus is positioned facing Orion. If you follow the line of Orion’s Belt to the right, your eyes will eventually settle upon a bright star that is the right eye of Taurus.
Scorpius is positioned opposite Orion and Taurus. Look for a large red star. This star is called Antares and it represents the scorpion’s heart.

A Private School for Boys in Grades 3–12
When you start a joke, it’s like handing the listener a wrapped gift. They get excited and want to know what the gift is. When you say the punchline, you are unwrapping the gift for them and revealing the joke. Much like a gift, their reaction to the joke will change based on how good and surprising it is.
