Show our school your talent!
Every year, our PTA team has
a talent show, where students
get to show their talents. This
year more than 20 acts were
performed. The participants
could either do an individual or
a group act. The performers
were required to be at school
by 5:45 P.M on the day of the
show. The time limit of each
performance could be no longer than three minutes, and it
was mandatory for the students
to bring their own music,
props, etc. This event took
place on December 15th from
6 to 8pm, in the elementary
cafeteria. Auditions were
held on November 16th, 17th,
and 19th from 3:15 to 4:30
p.m. Kayra Yuzbasioglu stated, “At first, I was nervous,
but when I got on stage it was
a really fun experience and I
would love to do it again”.
The purpose of this event was
for Bobcat students to have
fun and showcase their talent.
There was no charge to watch
or participate in the show;
however, pizza and water
were sold. The adults in
charge of this year’s talent
show were Nadine and other
PTA members. If you have a
talent or you love performing, you should come on out
next year!

nerve racking because he
had to please many fans.

just because there is
one bad chapter,
doesn’t mean it’s the
end.” - William Perez
Toys for Mystic Force
Every Christmas our school
holds a toy drive where toys
are donated to children that
don’t have the chance to
spend the holidays at home
with their families. This year
the toys that were collected
were donated to The Mystic
Force Foundation. This foundation was created by Silvia
and her husband, Dr. Steven
Vanni to help raise money
and awareness to fund research for childhood cancer.
On Christmas day, the toys
were given to the children
that were ill with cancer. The
reason our school holds this
toy drive every year is to
make children happy on
Christmas morning. Both
counselors, Mrs. Deleon and
Mrs. Cuenca, were in charge
of the toy drive. Mrs. Cuenca and Mrs. Deleon would
like to thank all the students,
families, parents and teachers that helped make this toy
drive a success.

It’s an Artsy Week!
Have you ever wondered
what “Art Week” is? Art
week is an event where
you make decorations such
as pop art, super hero
walls, and media center
walls. These projects can
be seen at Art Basel and
they work together to make
this experience unforgettable. The grades that participated were second through
eigth grade. “Art Week”
was held throughout the
entire school. This event

took place from the 7th of
December all the way to the
11th. “Art Week” is an
event that happens every
year at our school. The leader of the event is April
Pullo. April helped to make
this week possible. To enter
“Art Week”, people had to
pay a fee of 10 dollars. Art
Basel stages high end art
projects and the most popular Art Basel shows are in
Miami Beach and Hong
Kong. ”Stay artistic!”
The middle school dance
was an amazing event and
it occurred in the elementary cafeteria. It was from
3:15 to 5:30 on Friday,
December 4th. There was a
discriminate amount of 8th
graders and some 7th graders, but most of the dancers
were 6th graders. The dance
had a backdrop to take
pictures, a DJ, black and
white lights, and food
which included pizza and
drinks. The DJ was the 8th
grade math teacher named
Mr. Giordano, better known
as Mr. G. The best part of the
dance for Maxine Hyland
was when the beat dropped
in the dubstep songs. There
were many remixes played at
this dance. So far, this has
been the second middle
school dance of the year.

dance to be the best dance

It Takes Heart To Be a Hero!
Every year, our school participates in “Jump Rope for
Heart” and “Hoops for
Heart.” Both events took
place in the basketball court
on December 14th and 15th
of 2015. Second through fifth
grade were able to participate
in “Jump Rope for Heart”,
while all of middle school
students participated in
“Hoops for Heart”. Students
were encouraged to raise a
goal of $20,000. All the money that is raised goes to good
cause, The American Heart
Association. Our school holds
this event to help raise money
for people fighting heart disease. All second through fifth
graders were allowed to participate if they raised any
amount of money. Students in
middle school were required
to raise at least $1 to participate. Activities that took
place were hula-hooping,
basketball, and jump rope.
Overall the students had fun,
even though the field was
under construction.

exercises, but just a few
light ones, or ones that make

you want to make sure that
you lie down in a comfortable environment, free of
mess. Another way of not
oversleeping is to ask your
parents to wake you up early. This can be done in many
ways such as splashing water on you, make loud noises
or simply just shake you
awake. There a few things

Dear Alicia
Welcome to Dear Alicia
our first question is: How
do you not over sleep?
One way of doing this is to
set an alarm. This may
seem easy but you want to
make sure you set your
alarm at an appropriate
time that suits you best.
Another way to handle this
is going to sleep early. This
is hard for most people to
do, so here are a few suggestions: exercise before
