Bullying By: Alayna A.

Picture found at:Grinch

Bullying... everyone has felt it! We can never get

away from mean things. Well, NYS is sick of all the

bullying. They made a new law called the Dignity for All

Students Act (DASA). This new law will help NYS be

safe. This is how the bullying law works. Lets say you

were bullied at school and you told a teacher, a principal,

or trusted adult, they will talk with the bully, then the

trusted adult will deal with him or her. If the bully

keeps on bullying outside of school, then there could be

consequences with the police, depending on how severe

the bullying is. I know what you might be thinking. Thats

really big for just bullying. I talked with a 4th grader

and 6th grader on what they think about this. They

said, I think its good to have the new bullying law, but

I think the consequences are a little too harsh. Bullying

is something we hear about all the time, good and bad!Bullying is very serious, so watch what you say, do, and

type online!Information from:DASA

Is the World Really Ending in 2012?

By: Katelynn P.

Who predicted that the world is going to end in 2012?

When the Mayans were alive, they made their own calendar.

When you make a calendar, you cant go on and on and on

with the dates and years. The Mayans just happened to end

the calendar they created in the year 2012. People are now

taking a look at the calendar and thinking that the world isgoing to end. However, the world is not going to end.

I talked to a fifth grader at Boght Hills School and she

said she does not believe the world will end either. She does

think that the Mayans were very intelligent. She sometimes

believes the world might end and at other times, she doesnt.

I Katelynn, dont think the world is going to end. I dont

think the world is going to end because of the research I did.

People think the world is going to end just because of the

Mayans calendar. We dont use that calendar, so we dont

have to worry about a thing. After this article, if you still

think the world is going to end, (which its not) relax and

dont worry about what could happen, just worry about the

present and everything will work itself out.Picture found at:Mayans

Who Will YOU Vote For?By: Angelica F.

Picture found at:White House

Who do you want to win this years election, Barack

Obama or Mitt Romney? I want Barack Obama to win.

Ill give you some reasons why. Barack Obama wants

to raise taxes on the RICH! I repeat, the rich, not the

middle class. If that happens, we will all pay the same

amount of taxes so it will be fair. Mitt Romney wants

to raise taxes on the middle class families like you and

I, as well as cut taxes from the rich. Think about this.

During summer vacation if Mitt Romney is president,

youll say, Mom, I want to go to Disney Land! You

wont be able to because Mitt Romney raised taxes on

your mom and dad so they cant afford to do anything.

President Obama wants to bring home troops in 2years. On the other hand, Romney doesnt want to

bring back troops. I find that unfair to the troops,

their spouses, and if they have them, their children.

Not seeing your mom or dad for a long time can be

hard on children. President Obama also wants to

help schools and lower the prices for colleges. While

Mitt Romney wants to make college more affordable

as well, he says the government should not be so

involved in education. If hes president and thinks

government should not be involved in education, then

he could possibly decide to cut teaching jobs. If there

are less teaching jobs, your(Rest of story continues on top right side of page 2)

EDUCATIONAL classes could be limited. Also, Mitt

Romney is thinking about cutting jobs. If your parents

vote for him and he becomes president, they could

possibly be voting to get laid off. For those of you

who dont know what the term LAID OFF means, Illtell you. Laid off is a fancy term that means you no

longer have that job. The difference between that and

being fired is that if you get fired, you probably did

something bad. When youre laid off, its because of

budget cuts. As well as cutting jobs, he wants to cut

small businesses, such as a family run business. Its

not a chain store so small businesses are unique. Your

favorite little cheap candy store will probably be gone.

Do you really want Mitt Romney as our president?

Hell be limiting your choices for fun, preventing us

from seeing troops, and also limiting your education.

Thats why I want Barack Obama to win. So go! Ask

your parents who they are voting for!

Tigers

The tiger, or Panthera Tigris, is an endangered

species. An endangered species is a species that getsover hunted or their habitat gets destroyed. It is also

the largest cat species. It can grow up to 11 feet and

670 pounds. The tiger population in South East Asia

has dropped over 70 percent over the last ten years.

The reason for the drop is that poachers are illegally

hunting and deliberately killing them for their body

German: An Important Language

By: Sam D.

Picture from:Map of Germany

Boght Hills Sixth Graders have a good opportunity:

to study Foreign Languages. One of these is German.

Why study German? In an interview with Frau (German

for Mrs.) Reeves, the German teacher, she said that if

you want a good job in technology, medicine, music, or

psychology, Germany has many good jobs in these fields.

You need to know how to speak German in most of them.

Also, why study German even though most German people

speak English? Frau Reeves answer to this is that most

authentic German jobs are done in German. Three things

she says everybody should know about Germany are that

Germany has a great culture and even though it is small,

it is quite powerful. Also, she says everybody should

experience German culture at one point in their life. In

German class, we study German culture and language.

We get to learn great songs. Also, we will get to Skype

with German students. We had a real German exchange

student come and talk to us. All in all, German is a very

important language to study and the sixth graders are

lucky to be able to study it.

Auf Wiedersehen!Source: German class and Frau Reeves.

Bass: Smallmouth and Largemouth

By: Eric J.

Picture fromBass

What are bass? A bass is a type of fish that

lives in both fresh and salt water. There are many

types of bass. One type of bass is the Black Bass.

They also have the largemouth and smallmouth

bass. These types of bass are in the sunfish family.

Bass are one of the most popular species of game

fish. Bass can get really big. The biggest one I

know is 22 pounds and 5 ounces. It was 29 inches

long! Bass eat almost anything in the water that is

big enough to fit in its mouth, such as snails, other

fish, frogs or tadpoles, mice, salamanders, andsnakes. Bass are usually found in slow moving water

such as streams, lakes, and ponds. That doesnt

mean they cant be found in rivers. If you want to

catch a bass, you should go near fallen logs, weeds,

or lily pads during the spring. You could also catch

them during the winter in ice fishing. I have a big

bass on the hook and I am reeling it in so I have to

go, bye. I wonder if the bass on my hook will break

the record!Information found at:Types of Bass

Still Remembering The OldBy: Varun M.

My Mom recently started taking Zumba

lessons at an old North Colonie School,Maplewood. Since my babysitter had some last

moment job, I had to accompany her at her

first class. I was very excited because this was

my old school. Maplewood was shut down in

2010 because of lack of funds. From there, I

was shifted to Boght Hills. Even though I have

enjoyed my time at Boght Hills, I was excited

to go back and see the changes my old school,

which I dearly loved, has gone through.

When I was there, you would never find the

halls and classrooms so empty and quiet. Nowsince the school is shut down, all corridors were

empty. I went to my old classroom and looked

around in my science lab. All I saw was some old

memories hanging there. I was happy that they

have made the building into a daycare center and

kids still use it. The gym is still used for fitness

classes, too. Though I still remember the old, I

am enjoying the present in the amazing Boght

Hills Elementary School!

Zzzzzzz...

By: Hibah V.

Picture found at:Sleep at Desk

Information found at:Getting Sleep

Are you getting enough sleep? A lot of students

arent. Lack of sleep is making it hard to concentrate on

students work and pay attention to the teacher. Sleep is

more important than ever before.

We do so many things throughout the day that we

need rest. From schoolwork, to homework, after schoolactivities, to sports practice, and rehearsals for other

things, we need a break. We all need at least nine hours

of sleep. Why do we need sleep?

We need sleep to function properly. How are you

supposed to figure out that math problem if you didnt

get enough sleep? During tests and quizzes, we all need

to do our best. How are you supposed to get an A+ if

you cant remember anything you studied because of no

sleep? Your brain needs to be fully functioning. Youll

have a better performance in school and activities if

you go to bed early. Itll also be easier to wake up in the

morning. What happens when you dont get at least nine

hours of sleep?

If you dont get enough sleep, youll have a bad day.

Some symptoms are that you might be in a bad mood, you

might be wearier, or less alert, so be careful.

Looking for a Good Movie?By: Victoria S.

If you are looking for some fun, you should see HotelTransylvania! It is very funny and is a great Halloween

movie for people who dont like very scary movies. The only

scary part is when Dracula gets mad and his eyes turn red.

The film is about when Draculas daughter, Mavis, turns

one hundred eighteen. Dracula manages a hotel called Hotel

Transylvania that is supposed to be human-free. One day,

a human finds the hotel and Dracula has to pretend that

the human is actually a monster so the hotel will remain

popular. Soon, Mavis (voice actress: Selena Gomez) falls in

love with the human. Mavis wants to see the human world,

but because Dracula thinks humans are vicious, Dracula is

ridiculously over-protective. After Mavis mom dies, Dracula

has to take care of Mavis with a little help from his friends.This story is funny and will make you laugh out loud. I

think this movie is a great pick and something you should

definitely watch!

You know you havent gotten enough sleep if you wake up

Aliens

By: Sean C.

Picture found at: Four Moons

Do you believe in aliens? First of all, what IS analien? An alien is a being from a different area. Yes,

the most common alien is a being from a different

world. People say theyve seen aliens and UFOs. I

doubt it. Anyway, if an alien could survive, I have

some likely areas.

A moon of Jupiter, Titan, is one of its largest

moons. It doesnt have much oxygen, but has liquid

hydrogen, something used in water. Thus, an alien

could live here. Another moon, Europa, is much more

likely for US to live on. For example, it has LIQUID

SALTWATER under its icy crust. Thats water! An

alien that comes here would probably need oxygen to

survive! Do YOU believe aliens exist in Jupiter?

How Can We Stop Global Warming?

By: Matthew V.

Picture found at: Global Warming

Global warming is a very serious problem

today. If we keep on doing what were doing,

the human race will end. That is why we have to

stop it. One way we can stop it is by using bikes,

carpooling, or by using public transportation.

This will help use less gasoline, which is hurting

our environment.Another thing we can do is

recycle more. A gas called methane is released

from landfills. Do all you can do to stop global

warming. Like I said before, if we dont, it could

mean the end of us.

The New Boston Celtics: What do

you Think?By: Josh P.

The Boston Celtics new roster contains Brandon Bass,

Avery Bradley, Jason Collins, Micah Downs, Kevin Garnett,

Jeff Green, Kris Joseph, Robert Kurz, Courtney Lee, Fab

Melo, Darko Milicic, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Jared

Sullinger, Jason Terry, and Chris Wilcox. As you can see, its

sad that Ray Allen isnt on the roster anymore.

Regional Food Bank of Northeastern, NY

By: Molly L.

The Regional Food Bank of Northeastern, NY

is a place where people sort items for families in

need (examples: food, health and beauty, and pet

products). Families can work there by sorting items

into boxes. As shelters and local food banks request

products, they get sent out by trucks. You can

volunteer weekly, monthly, or daily. Its a great way to

teach kids to be grateful for what you have.

Me: What do you think about the new roster for the Boston

Celtics?

FB: I like their new roster and I think that Terry will be a

good replacement for Ray Allen. He might be their new star

shooter.

Me: How do you think, based on Rajon Rondos stats from

last year, he will do this year?

FB: Rondos stats from last year will prove him to be very

good. He has to improve his shot.

Me: How do you think Kevin Garnett will do this year.

FB: I think he keeps himself in good shape and will be a

good leader. I also think he will get the rebounds he needs

to.

Me: How do you think Paul Pierce has improved over the

years?

FB: Paul Pierce needs to improve his shooting form, but he

can shoot anywhere and sink it. He is great compared to the

rookies.

I think the Boston Celtics will do well this year, even

without Ray Allen.

Sometimes you might find something open or wish

you could keep it yourself. Other than that, its great.

Its great because its something that anyone can

do. You and your family can do it together. Some

items that people need are food, health and beauty,

pet products, water, hair products, and various otheritems. These needs can go to shelters and other

places where families go when they are needy. My

family goes monthly. Last time we went, we sorted

water, home goods, and detergent. Be sure to wear

older clothes because sometimes you will get messy.

Last time my family was sorting detergent and some

boxes were open. Our clothes got a little messy. My

family and I enjoy sorting at the food bank and they

need more people to help. I bet you will enjoy it too.

History of Halloween

By: Brianna M.

Have you ever wondered why we celebrate

Halloween? The ancient Celts, who lived over 2,000

years ago, celebrated their New Year on November

1. They believed that because the beginning of

winter and colder days started in November, it wasclosely related to death. To keep the living from being

affected by those of the dead who were evil, the Celts

had a festival. This festival was called Samhain. On

this day, they would sacrifice animals, vegetables, and

fruit to the dead.


ELECTRONICS

By: Hailie B.

Do you think electronics should be allowed

in school? We have people in this school district

that say yes and and some that say no. One of

the people that said no thinks that kids would

be distracted and want to play on them. She also

thinks that if you need to contact your parents

that you could use the schools phone, and that

kids need to focus on their work rather than their

electronics.


If you do have a phone in school, it can go off

They would also light bonfires in honor of them.

During this festival, the Celts wore costumes of animal

skins and heads. Once the Celts were conquered by

the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire declared that

the festival of Samhain should become more Christian

oriented. In the 7th century, Pope Boniface IVproclaimed November 1st as All Saints Day, which

was also known as All Hallows Day. Halloween is a

fun festival that we still celebrate today.

They can be good to have because if you

First of all, you need a pair of jeans. Itd be best

if the jeans you use are faded blue jeans with

holes in the knees. Lumberjacks dont have time to

buy a new pair of jeans every time their older

jeans get scratched by a hazardous tree as he/shescreams TIMBER!!!. Second of all, you need a

plaid, long-sleeved shirt. Your plaid shirt shouldnt

be too colorful. Stereotypical lumberjacks are all

about work and food, not pretty colors. Your shirt

should also be somewhat loose and fuzzy. Also,

wear a winter hat, gloves, and heavy boots. If you

want, you could buy a fake beard or use something

dark to make a beard. You will need to wear

overalls to add more personality to your costume.

Your lumberjack costume should look something

like this:

If you dont think a lumberjack costume would

suit you, then maybe a ninja would.

To look like a NINJA, all you need is black

socks and shoes, black leggings/skinny jeans, a

black, fitted long-sleeved shirt, and another black

shirt. In the end, it should look something like this:

(Rest of article above on page 12)

If youre a boy, then take a big clump of your gooey

The black socks and shoes, black leggings/

skinny jeans, and black, fitted long-sleeved shirt

are pretty explanatory. The other black shirt,

however, may have caused you to think WHY DO

YOU NEED ANOTHER SHIRT!?!. Its okay,youre probably not alone. The other black shirt is

to cover up your head. If your other black shirt

has writing on it, then simply

turn it inside out. Tuck your shirt into your high

waisted pants/shorts. Either before or after you

do that, tie your hair up if you have long hair. Then,

gently place the shirt on over your head with the

head hole over your head. Once thats done, take

thesleeves and tie them together behind yourhead. Manipulate your shirt to look more like aninja head, then YOURE DONE!If you want to

get fancy, you could (with permission from parents

and/or you teacher/principal) bring a plastic sword

around with you on Halloween night while looking

super cool. This costume would be peachy on a cold

night. If youre claustrophobic, then you should

probably be a nerd instead.

Being a NERDfor Halloween is pretty simple.

All you need is big square glasses, high-waisted,nerdy looking pants/shorts depending on the

weather, a button-up collared shirt ORa long

sleeved shirt and a sweater-vest, hair gel if youre

a boy, and two hair ties if youre a girl. To make the

nerd glasses, you need either movie theater glasses

(the square ones), or you can get cheap square

sunglasses from adollar store near you. Once you

have hold of your glasses, pop out the lenses (with

parents help). Then, if you really want to, you can

wrap any tape of your choice around the center

part of your now nerdy glasses. Tuck your shirt

into your high waisted pants/shorts.

hair gel, and rub it into your hair. Before it dries,

you should use a comb and comb yourhair back. Ifyoure a girl, then get your hair messy and put it

into high pigtails. In the end, your nerd costume

should look something like this:

or kind of like this:

I hope that you manage to find your dream

costume and that I helped a little bit. Make

your choice scream out your name and face.

Make it your own, and have a very HAPPY

HALLOWEEN!!!!

Rachels Challenge: are we up to it?By: Raneen R.

We all know about Rachels Challenge, butdo we know what it really is. We students talk

about it all the time. Rachel was a very kindperson and she always stood up for othersand what she believed in. A great motto to live

by is, Treat others the way you want to betreated. Rachel did just that. Rachel died atthe very young age of 17. That didnt stop herfrom leaving her message to all of us as wecarry our kindness, compassion, and respectto others.

Now there is a nationwide program calledRachels Challenge. This is a program thatmany schools all over the United States,including our school participate in. For everyact of kindness, we add a link to our chain.

The goal of the program is to get everyone tobe kind to everyone else. So far at Boght Hills,Rachels challenge works. Are you a part ofRachels Challenge?
