Ol ympic Fool er y

Issu e 2

By Tyler Herron Olympic Foolery has come and gone, a success thanks to LMS?s amazing staff, namely Mr. Stickney. All teams tried their best but as you all know, one team was victorious. Now, continue reading and you?ll know all about the 2017 Olympic Foolery? Sixth and Seventh grades enter the gymnasium at a slow jog, circling the court a few times before settling in the bleachers. Eighth grade starts at a walk, heads down. As the music quickens and the beat drops, they start to sprint. A strong entrance! Mr. DePace is filming with some of the equipment for the Star Wars movie he?s shooting with Ms. Minton, information on which can be found in our previous issue. Now that everyone?s seated, we stand for the national anthem. Then go to Mr. Vaughan as he gives the yearly speech. Afterwards, all the grades the grades each take turns trying to be the loudest for the ?Loud-O-Meter ?. It seems eighth grade was loudest, but it was hard to tell, as everyone was full of Olympic Foolery spirit. Now we move onto the first event? Gaga Ball! It was an intense battle in all three of the pits, but of course only one grade can be victorious in each. In pits one and two, seventh grade outlasted the members of grades six and eight. In pit three, however, eighth grade took the win and Mr. Stickney led us into the next event: The Sled Race, now any student who says this wasn?t hilarious had their eyes closed. People falling off the blanket was a site to see! In first place came, seventh grade, in second eighth. Finally, in third, came sixth grade. Now, it sure is cold this time of year, cold enough for snowballs! Next event: Snowball Frenzy!

Ol ympic Fool er y By Tyler Herron

We sure do show our energy in this game! Running all around the gym, catching and throwing snowballs, fixing boxes! The rounds started with sixth vs. seventh, sixth with one hundred seventy points, and seventh with two hundred and twenty, which results with sixth coming in third place and seventh moving on to face the eighth graders. Seventh finished with two hundred points, and eighth with with three hundred. Eight wins the snowball frenzy, now the next event is one that can?t really be explained with words. Give it up for Belly Ball! It?s a very interesting game, I can say that much. Two teammates clasp hands and attempt to run around the center of the court while supporting a beach ball in between their bellies.It?s as enjoyable to watch as the Sled Races. In first place, eighth grade, second sixth, and third seventh. Seventh grade is winning overall. Now we move onto free throws, there isn?t a situation like last year at least, the tying debacle! This is one of the more popular events, all of the students wanting to showcase their skills. First round is sixth grade vs. seventh. Seventh wins and sets a new record of thirteen baskets! They beat the eighth grade in the next round, too. The next event is announced, Sports Relay! Sports Relay, something very special, the teams demonstrating their skills with a mix of sports equipment and the odd pair of flippers. In first place seventh grade, in second place eighth, and in third, sixth. A pattern is starting to show as the points are announced at the end of each event. Holiday Wrap is next and our teachers have never looked better, let me tell you! Even Mr. Stickney agrees: ?Mrs. Campanale hasn?t looked better!? Next up, Bearded Santa! I don?t know how to describe this whipped cream mess. Cheese balls are being tossed left and right at teachers, whipped cream ?beards?covering their faces. Mr. Everett was the sixth grade?s victim, for seventh grade, the brave Mrs. Granger, and for eighth, poor Mr. Socha, who didn?t have a beard so much as the spa special: Whipped Cream Face Mask! For scores, the sixth grade came in third, eighth in second, and seventh in first. Now here come the participants

for Set the Table! Set the Table is one of my favorites, I always love watching this particular event. Now in third place with two successful swipes, the sixth grade. In second with three, seventh, and in first with five, eighth. The current scores are as follows: Sixth grade with fourteen points! Eighth grade with thirty six points! And seventh grade with forty! Now, we move on to the final event of the day, Tug of War! It starts with seventh vs. sixth! Six being pulled over the line slowly, but steadily by the seventh grade until seventh wins, and moves on to face the eighth grade! Eighth pulls over seventh faster than fast. A victory? It seems eight had four extra people, meaning a redo! Four extra people didn?t do a single thing for seventh. Eighth grade pulls them over only slightly slower with the addition, which means they won this event and were rewarded five points. Seventh gained three, and sixth, one. After a tension-filled afternoon, everyone is ready for the winners to be announced. Mr. Stickney gets everyone?s attention and begins to speak. The final scores: Sixth, in third, with seventeen points! Eighth, in second, with forty one points! And seventh, in first, with forty three! Seventh graders explode out of the bleachers in a stampede! All grades did a great job! There is a team picture taken for each grade, and everyone returns to their classrooms to wait for dismissal. Overall, Olympic Foolery was a great success! A special special thanks to Mr. Stickney for putting such hard work into this amazing event! And a thank you for all of our amazing staff who worked with him to make this happen!

T e e n Adv is or y In t er view By Tyler Her r on In t er view Wit h M r s. M in t on Teen Advisory, do you know what it is? After this article you?ll know every last thing about it, maybe. It seems that Teen Advisory is much more interesting than I even know. Maybe you?ll think the same, I hope you enjoy!!! Reporter: ?What is Teen Advisory?? Mrs. Minton: ?The Teen Advisory Board makes decisions about the library. It?s an after school club that anyone can join, they can even join throughout the year. They help choose books for the library, they help make displays for the library. They help come up with after school library programing. It?s just a place to get student voice in the library. And somewhere where everyone wants to be.? Reporter: ?What are your plans for this year? Any special things for student advisory?? Mrs. Minton: ?That?s a good question, we do have some things in the works. Umm, hmm? What to give away. Our plans have kind of changed, a little bit. But one thing we do plan on doing is having a Herbology class. In Harry Potter one of the classes they

take is an Herbology class. So I?ve been working on, planting some plans to be able to have kids come after school and make something to take home. I?m also thinking of having something to go along with that theme. Like a Potions class, where students can make slime after school. And offering different unique activities for students to participate in.? Reporter: ?Teen Advisory seems very interesting, people you should join !? Reporter: ?Who are some of the members in Teen Advisory? Or some who contribute the most? You don?t need to answer.? Mrs. Minton: ?We have a great group of kids, all of the grades are represented. We have a strong group in the eighth grade. Some members include Morgan Flodman, Lily Provo, Randy Either, and Kaydence Seymour. A great group of eighth graders, and a new group of sixth graders that contribute a lot. We do have awesome seventh graders too. We have Ariana Levitan and Nina Dykas too, so lots of great kids. They all have great things to contribute.? Continued on the next page

T e e n Adv is or y Reporter: ?Why do you do Teen Advisory, why is it important to you?? Mrs. Minton: ?Oh so, it?s my favorite after school club that I do, because like I said it allows students to have a voice in the library. My goal is to have the library be a lively place, a fun place. And also a kid place, a place where students feel comfortable that they can enjoy themselves here. So then they can find all their researches they?re looking for, whether it?s for enjoyment or for school. And so having student voice in here really helps choose some great resources that all students will enjoy. Reporter: ?Why is Teen Advisory important to the library, or the school?? Mrs. Minton: "Again, the importance of student voice in the library, but this voice contributes to the whole school. They are definitely having a say about what books are in the library. They're great at coming up with after school activities and even having drop in activities that we did last year. The Teen Advisory were in charge of the scavenger hunt and Star Wars day. Last year we did a huge Beauty and the Beast program, and Fantastic Beasts, and they helped plan all of these things down to the minor detail, so they contribute a lot.? Reporter: ?Any other things you?d like to say about Teen Advisory?? Mrs. Minton: ?I just want to say I really enjoy working with the kids that do participate. And I?m always welcome to new kids to come in and share their thoughts. Thank you, Mrs. Minton, for taking your time to let me interview you for this article and for all you do for our school!

An In t er view Wit h M r . DePace

By Jack Bu llock Robotics Club is run by our school?s STEM teacher, Mr. DePace. I spoke to him about the Club and asked him a few questions. In t er view er : ?Is the Robotics Club close to the point that they need to be at in order to participate in competitions?? M r . DePace: ?Everyone needs knowledge on how to build robots before we can go into competitions. The eighth graders have not had a chance to have robotics class yet. So the seventh graders know a lot more than the eighth graders do.? In t er view er : ?Do you have an estimate as to how long will it be until your club will be ready to compete?? M r . DePace: ?Everyone in my club is a natural at robotics, and it won't be long until we will be ready for competitions.? In t er view er : ?What sorts of competitions will the Robotics Club be attending this year?? M r . DePace: ?Online there is a virtual competition provided by mass STEM hub where students compete with other schools virtually. There will be a monthly task that students need to complete in the most creative way possible to win. In t er view er : ?How do the online competitions work?? M r . DePace: ?It will be just like in class when a group takes on a task for three or four people. Every group has a chance to compete against each other. The only prize is bragging rights.? In t er view er : ?Will there be any traveling competitions?? M r . DePace: ?Traveling competitions are a goal for us. But we?d need more money for transportation and robotics kits. If we don't get the money for the competitions, Auburn can come to us. It will work similar the online competitions except at the end all the robots will be showcased at whatever school we go to.? So as you can see robotics club is pretty interesting. Also people can go and watch the traveling competitions. If you have any more questions talk to Mr. DePace.

Reporter: ?Why do you enjoy Fandom Club?? Mrs. Minton: ?I really like it because, there are a lot of times where you want to talk about something you're passionate about, but people might be sick of hearing you talk about it, and so this is a place where everyone can feel free to be open about what they enjoy. They can find like-minded individuals who are passionate about the same thing. So it?s just a place to open up conversation about popular culture that they enjoy.? Reporter: ?What is your fandom??

Fan dom Club Reporter: ?Uhh, this is a off-topic question but, have you ever seen the show Once Upon a Time?? Mrs. Minton: ?I have, I watched the first couple seasons, and I liked it but I wasn?t crazy about the main character (Emma). I didn?t really care for her relationship with her son, I thought it was a little odd. But I really like the fantasy story line, and bringing the fairy tales, and reworking them and the twisted fairy tales.? Reporter: ?Are you planning any special fandom events?? Mrs. Minton: ?We only meet once a month. So whatever we do is unique to that time. We?re going to try and finish the project we have going on right now. We?re mapping out what we?re a a competition bracket for Villains vs. Heroes, who would win, and so the members have a chance to vote. If two villains battle each other, who would win? Reporter: ?Is there anything you?d like to add?? Mrs. Minton: ?Same as all of the clubs in the library, if it?s something you think you might be interested in your welcome to join at any time of the year.? That is everything you need to know about the Fandom Club. In the next issue of the Hillside Herald find out everything about Dominion Club!!

Gregory Pappas Guitar Club is a place where you can go, bring your guitar, and play with other guitarists. Guitar Club is held in Mr. Lijoi's room after school on Wednesdays until 3:10. Mr. Lijoi and Mr. Alesbrook worked together to create the club. Some of the members are Chloe Bouchard, Caden Birtz, Owen Collete, Reilly Cyr, and myself. You can learn many new techniques, songs, and tricks. Caden taught me the Nationwide jingle. Sometimes the students really are the masters! Mr. Alesbrook and Caden are masters at guitar, it blows my mind to watch them play. You tell them a song to play and they'll play it! They?re teaching us everything you need to know about guitar. It?s a wonderful opportunity to learn something new!
