JEM is truly OUTRAGEOUS!!!

"Jem is truly outrageous, truly, truly, truly outrageous. Jem, the music's contageous (outrageous) Jem is my name.. no one else is the same.Jem is my name!" Jem, known to be the best cartoon from the 80's, was based on the adventures of a goodie tooshoes band called Jem and the Hollograms. Jerrica,the main character and her alter ego Jem fought to save her father's record company, Starlight
Music, from the mean Eric Raymond. In order to save the company Jerrica becomes Jem using her holographic earrings and her father's machine named Synergy.
Later she and her sisters Kimber, Aja, and Shana join together to become the world famous Jem and the Holograms. While taking over the entertainment world the Holograms oversee the Starlight house for girls, and stay on top of the fashion trends. Always getting in their way, the Misfits try and stop the Holograms from getting to the top. The drama never ends for the Holograms as they sing and dance their way through the 8o's.
Jem is considered to be one of the best cartoons of the 80's. If you were just walking down the street singig her theme song, at least one person will start to sing with you. Also, the girls of this show kept up with the latest fashions. They sought "music,fashion and fame." Jem was truly, truly, truly outrageous!

New Rules
If I ran the school, I would change lots of things.
The lunchroom would serve lots of hot chicken wings.
The school everyday would be started at two,
and we would go home with no homework to do.
There would be no holes in my discipline card,
and kids would be punished with play in the yard.
I would let the kids teach while the teachers took naps.
Kids could blab on forever and eat ginger snaps.
And teachers who burp would be sent to “the loft”;
there would be no exceptions ‘cause students aren’t soft.
Because they’re depressed, give your teachers a hug.
But watch out, because you might be squished like a bug.
