[Ruby Fernandez]: Hello, we're back here again with Tea Time with Dora and Haley with our second guest, Lydia. So Lydia, we have a few random questions to ask you. So what would you say your favorite movie is?
[Lydia Ryan]: It's definitely Lilo and Stitch, the first one. We heard you're on the gymnastics team. How's that going for you? It's rough, man. Gymnastics, I don't know if it's my calling, but I'm going to work hard for this team in this season. And it's a great group of kids. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Oh my god, I'd be invisible. Or maybe I'd fly. No, I'd definitely fly. That would be pretty sick. Last question. What's your favorite season and how do you feel about the snow today? I love winter because I don't like being hot in the summer. But summer is definitely my favorite season because we don't have to go to school. Awesome. There you have it.
[Ruby Fernandez]: Thank you very much, Lydia.
[SPEAKER_03]: belongs on a knee.
[SPEAKER_05]: But I found a boy who I love more than I ever did you before. So stand beside the river I cry and let your I also, again, would like to thank superintendent Roy Belson for getting my school tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_06]: I thought I was going to be walking to school tomorrow with blue lips.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, blue lips. You know, up next we have Alida Brenton singing Blue Lips by Regine Spector. Let's give her a round of applause.
[SPEAKER_06]: Stood up beneath the knowledge tree And they chopped it down to make my bed Okay, and on that note, we have Beatrice Gonsalves singing Love Yourself by Justin Bieber.
[SPEAKER_04]: And if you think that I'm still holding on to something, you should go and love yourself. Cause it's tickling me. If I were a boy, I think I could understand. And we miss the love of God, I swear I'd be a better man I listen to her, cause I know how it hurts when you lose the one you wanted, cause he's taken you for granted, and everything you had I've destroyed.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd like to give it up for Raquel Darachi and Julia Mara singing two songs, The Way You're Looking Tonight by Frank Sinatra, and one of my personal favorites, If I Ain't Got You, by Alicia Keys.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, you're lovely With your smile so warm And your cheeks so soft There is nothing for me but to love Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby
[SPEAKER_04]: I got you, baby. Some people want diamond rings.
[SPEAKER_05]: Some just want everything. But everything means nothing if I ain't got you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Tell me, what is your position here at MHS?
[Mr. McLaughlin]: I work in the main office. I'm one of the admin And I work alongside Ms. Lisa Bowler and the headmaster, Dr. Prowler. I like to think that both, well, the whole main office crew itself creates a welcoming and safe environment so that we try to nurture and harbor any kind of student that needs our help throughout the day. Obviously, these students go to their academics, to their teachers, but sometimes they just need that extra support during the day, and we always try to provide it.
[SPEAKER_02]: How do you come to be here at Medford High? Why did you come back?
[Mr. McLaughlin]: So when I originally went to school, I actually went to Bridgewater State University, I went for an English degree, thinking that I wanted to teach. When I came here, I started studying, I kind of was in the classroom, made me a little nervous, wasn't really my thing, but knew I wanted to stay within the school, and so I kind of came and found my little niche here. of the directors and founders of Spotlight Productions and I'm a balloon artist so I have gone to different kinds of events and twisted balloons.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you could be any animal what would you be?
[Mr. McLaughlin]: I could be any animal.
[Ruby Fernandez]: I'm here with Ms.
