It is not a student, but a student teacher! Her name is Mrs. Breann Zerbe. She is teaching Math with Ms. Sherrer. We interviewed Mrs. Zerbe so everyone can get to know her! Do you plan to teach math as far as a career? “Yes, but I have a Health minor so I could also teach Health.” What got you into teaching? ‘’I did a lot of tutoring. I tutored all ages, also there are a lot of teachers in my family.’’ How has Ms. Sherrer helped you expand your education in teaching? ‘’She has given me a lot of hands-on experience. She is also very knowledgeable. She teaches me things you can’t learn out of a book.’’ Where do you see yourself in 2 years? As she started giggling,’’ Hopefully teaching!’’ How do you like it here? ‘’I like it here a lot.

Since 1999, the 7th grade has raised over $17,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through a friendly competition we call the Penny Wars. Here is how it works: Every student is encouraged to help their classroom gain points. A point is a penny, for each penny a student contributes to their first period’s bucket; that classroom gets a point. However, for every silver coin placed in a bucket by someone from another first period, that classroom loses the value of that coin. (Example: a nickel is minus five points) REMEMBER: PENNIES = GOOD SILVER = BAD Students need to bring in pennies for their own first period class and silver for the other classes. Penny Wars will take place from February 4th – 22nd. The winning first period gets a catered Olive Garden lunch and bragging rights! The H team will need to watch out for defending champion Mr. Hess - he has a few tricks up his sleeve! The G team will have to watch out for defending champion Ms. Luckenbaugh - the quiet ones sometimes fly under the radar! Eastern York Middle School Newsletter Winter 2013 Volume 4, Issue 2 Eastern York Middle School Quarterly Newsletter News Update from the 8th grade The 8th grade began the second semester with a few schedule changes. S and T teams reversed their semester classes, meaning that S had to say goodbye to Reading and World Language. T finished up with Health and Keyboarding classes. The 8th grade is now settling in to their “new” classes. S team is practicing good keyboarding skills along with learning word processing tools to format letters and memos. The Health class curriculum includes the topics of health and wellness, nutrition and eating disorders, substance abuse, and body systems. The T team is beginning their study of French and Spanish conversational vocabulary and culture. (There may even be a small scale Mardi Gras celebration in the works!) In Reading class, the students will be reading short stories and writing poetry. Science classes have been studying the planets and are now experts in the phases of the moon and the seasons. In History classes, the colonists are experiencing some hardships as they are now being taxed unfairly. The situation is beginning to escalate, and a revolution is possible. English classes are actively working on mastering the writing process and improving their style through the use of descriptive phrases. Math classes are slipping through the study of slope, as they prepare for the upcoming PSSA tests. Algebra classes are directly working with slope, and pre-Algebra classes are learning it through a study of geometry. Eastern York Middle School Newsletter Winter 2013 Volume 4, Issue 2 Eastern York Middle School Quarterly Newsletter How does alcohol affect the body? T By Julia Atwater oday in health class we discussed the effects of alcohol on the human body. Did you know that alcohol dulls the senses, decreases reaction time, and majorly influences coordination? After learning about how alcohol impairs individuals, we simulated these effects by using fatal vision goggles and gloves. Under this simulation, everyday tasks that are normally easy became quite difficult. S imple skills like tying a shoe, writing, walking, and throwing and catching a ball under this 'influence' became just a bit more challenging. Imagine fumbling clumsily while trying to tie your shoe or having to form a death grip on your friend just to walk. Dizzy, distorted, and clumsy are all fantastic words to describe how the participants in today's activities might've felt. Some of the groups noticed that their vision was off by up to several inches to the left or right while trying to throw a ball at a target. Walking seems easy and uncomplicated but with distorted vision and a straight line swerving in front of you, you start to wobble and stumble quite a lot. Writing becomes a scary, awkward alphabet much different than the one we know. Since vision is affected and fine motor skills cause fumbling hands, writing turns into a much more challenging activity than it should be. I n conclusion, alcohol is NOT a good substance to put through your system, because, well, fumbling around, tripping and being half blind doesn't sound particularly fun. So, consider this: If these simple skills seem so hard under the influence of alcohol, how hard will driving or making vital decisions be? Eastern York Middle School Newsletter Winter 2013 Volume 4, Issue 2 Eastern York Middle School Quarterly Newsletter T Welcome Miss Keefer! he K-team would like to welcome our newest member, Miss Christine Keefer. Miss Keefer graduated from Millersville University in December 2010 and currently lives in Southern Lancaster County. She has taught piano lessons privately for 7 years and has played in the Eastern York High School Pit Orchestra since 2008. We are delighted to have her on our team and as part of our music staff. Welcome to EYMS Miss Keefer! C Music Minutes th urrently, 6 grade general music classes are learning about the music of the Civil War. The students are connecting historical events and seeing how these events and the thoughts and feelings of a time period influence its music. From this era they have sung spirituals like ‚Now Let Them Fly‛, underground railroad songs like ‚Follow the Drinking Gourd‛, songs of soldiers like ‚Dixie Land‛, and Julia Howe’s ‚Battle Hymn of the Republic.‛ Next, they will they study music pertaining to the Civil Rights’ Movement. 8th grade general music classes have been working on Piano Keyboarding, and are building a repertoire of songs they can perform, with their favorite being ‚Jingle Bells.‛ Our instrumental ensembles continue to work hard preparing music for their upcoming performances. Mr. Donahue has been keeping our Jazz Band ‘swinging’ as they rehearse songs such as ‚Cantalope Island‛ and ‚Vehicle‛ every Tuesday after school. Our orchestra students are preparing for our 4th Annual Eastern York String Day. This district wide festival for string students in grades 3-12 will be held on Saturday, March 23rd. At this festival, middle school students will have the opportunity to play selections from their concert pieces and to mentor younger string students in our district. Additionally, four new students have joined our orchestra program this semester. We are delighted to have Maddie Askey, Laurel Flaharty, Hannah Franz, and Cassandra Hague as our newest orchestra members. 6 middle school instrumental students (5 students from band,1 from Orchestra) are participating in this year's York County Band Festival. The students are Travis Allen, Brayden Danks, Taryn Kelly, Sarah Stickler, Ethan Quiones, and Tanner Williams. I Hoops for Heart n December the students in Physical Education and Wellness classes participated in a three day "Hoops for Heart" event. They raised $560.00 for the American Heart Association. Melanie Schaefer, 8th grade, was the top fund raiser. She collected $71.00 for the event. Way to go Melanie!! A big THANK YOU to everyone who supported a student with a donation to this very important cause. This is EYMS's 7th year participating in Hoops for Heart!
