Stone Mill Students Compete in Geography Bee By Naina G.
Surely you have heard about the National Geographic Bee. The first National Geographic Bee was held in 1989. It was hosted in Washington
D.C. by Alex Trebec who also hosts the Jeopardy game show. Washington D.C. is the headquarters for National Geographic. The very first winner was an
8th grader named Jack Staddon from Kansas.
At Stone Mill Elementary School, we have an annual Geography Bee. This year it was held on Friday,
November 18, 2016. There were seven rounds of questions and ten participants advanced to the final round.
From these ten students, two moved to the championship round.
The 1st place winner was a 5th grader Arjun R. from Mrs. Huang’s class, 2nd place went to a 5th grader
Lucas S. from Ms. Herbert’s class, and 3rd place went to a 4th grader Daksh B. from Mrs. Trice’s class.
The Geography Bee was hosted by our awesome counselor Mrs. Dulli and her son, Mr. Zach Dulli. Mr.
Dulli and Mrs. Bock (former Stone Mill parent) were the judges at the bee. The facilitators were Dr. Williams,
Mrs. Budman, Ms. Herbert and Mrs. Abrahams. Some parents also volunteered at the Geography Bee and they
included Ms. Vinita Puri and Dr. Shruti Japee. At the end of the Geography Bee, all the participants received a
certificate signed by Dr. Williams and a globe beach ball. Now our 1st place winner, Arjun, will get the chance to
compete for a spot at the state level. Good luck Arjun – we’re rooting for you!
NEW SGA OFFICERS ELECTED By Lily K. and Kelly R.
I'm sure you all heard about the SGA election winners! However, if
you didn't or just need a re-cap, here are the new officers; President-
Kelly R., Vice President-Logan P., Secretary-Kaia S. and last but not
least, Treasurer-Karen C.! All of these student officers are responsible
and helpful and will do a great job leading our school.
If you are wondering what happens to all the other candidates who
ran for office and did not get elected, we will let you know. You might think
since they lost they are not part of the SGA, however these students get to
be involved in the SGA board.
Students in the final election won a "mini-vote" first. All of 4th and 5th
graders vote in this election since students from those grades are eligible to
run for office. The top three people for each office (if there is a tie then top
4) advance to the final round where the whole school votes. These finalists
were the ones you saw making their speeches. The winners of that round
become the four official SGA officers of Stone Mill.
If you want to run for SGA but you're not in 4th or 5th grade, you still
can be a part of the SGA as a class representative. If you get elected you
will attend all the SGA meetings for class reps and will report back to your
class about the meeting.
If you are wondering how to become a class representative, we will
tell you. When your teacher announces your class is voting for an SGA
class representative, make sure to raise your hand or speak up so you can
have a chance to run in the class election. The person with the most votes
in each class will be that class’ representative to the SGA!

Girls on the Run Promotes Exercise and Self-Esteem By Lily J. and Samantha M.
“Girls on the Run” is a fun running program that we have here at Stone Mill ES. Both of us have been doing Girls on the Run for five seasons,
and we love it! This program is for girls in grades 3-5. It is all about learning how to stay healthy, providing life skills, building friendships, preventing
bullying, and gaining important advice on how to improve your running.
The program at our school is on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with different practice times; there is a morning and afternoon team. There are also
two different seasons during the school year, a fall and a spring season. Each team has about 20-30 girls and 4-6 coaches.
Here are some of the things we do at our meetings:
We talk about the topic of the day.
We all do warm-ups so that we can prevent injuries when we run.
We play fun games related to the topic of the day.
And of course we RUN.
We end each lesson with an energy award where we recognize great things that some of our teammates have done during that lesson.
All of the lessons and running lead up to a big 5k run at the end of each season, and a community project! For those of you who don’t know what a
5k is, it is 3.1 miles. At the 5k, all of the participants from the Girls on the Run program come together. Before the race there is a DJ, hairspray and oth-
er fun things to get you pumped up to run. The race is early on a Sunday morning. You get shirts and bibs that you pin onto your shirt. Every girl who
runs in the race has a buddy with them who is at least 18 years old or older. When you cross the finish line there are different snacks to help you stay
healthy!
The community project is where the girls vote on a group of people they would like to help. We raise money, get supplies, or make something to
benefit them. Thank you so much to everyone that helped us do great things with GOTR (Girls on the Run).
For the girls in grades 3-5, we hope to see you next season!
Amazing Aid Mrs. Anna By Sloane S. and Ines E.
Have you ever thought of the people who keep you safe at
lunch and recess? These lunch and recess aids are very helpful to
Stone Mill students. Mrs. Anna is one of the aids that keeps a
watchful eye over students while they play.
Mrs. Anna was born on January 2nd and is the fourth girl
in her family. She has a daughter in third grade and a son in first
grade at Stone Mill.
Mrs. Anna’s favorite hobby is traveling. The place where
Mrs. Anna would like to visit is Paris, France. She also loves to
read and spend time at the beach. Her favorite color is blue, her favorite superpow-
er is the power to be invisible, and her favorite fruit is mango! Two of her other
favorite foods are broccoli and carrots!
If Mrs. Anna wasn’t an aid at Stone Mill, she would want to be an account-
ant because she loves helping others and working with numbers. Mrs. Anna loves
her job right now because she enjoys helping students and she loves Stone Mill ES!
So, if you ever see Mrs. Anna or other lunch and recess helpers when you play,
please remember to say THANK YOU!

Meet the Magnificent Ms. Herbert
By Parker Z. and Alexander I.
We recently interviewed Stone Mill’s newest fifth-grade teacher, Ms. Herbert, and we would like to share some details with you. She was born
in Las Vegas, Nevada! Before coming to Stone Mill she attended Salisbury University. She lives in Germantown, Maryland and she has three pets: two
cats and one dog. Her cats are named James and Tyler, and her dog is named Murray. Ms. Herbert’s hobbies include hiking,
eating, swimming, and being outdoors. Her most favorite thing in the world is eating (unless of course it is her class! Ha!). Her
favorite restaurant is Baja Fresh.
We asked her what she likes best about Stone Mill, and she said, “Everything! The teachers are so welcoming!” Do you
know that if Ms. Herbert could travel through time, she would go back to the 1950’s because of the cool clothes! Do you know
that if Ms. Herbert could go anywhere in the world she would choose to go to Rome? She loves Rome! If she could change any-
thing in the world she would create world peace forever! Ms. Herbert’s most favorite book is called Fearless.
Last, but not least, we asked her if she had a favorite superhero, and she said that she likes Black Widow! If you would
like to learn more about Ms. Herbert, please stop by her classroom and say hello. She is really nice!
Get To Know Ms. Lewis By Andy Y., Daksh G. and Rohan G.
Have you ever seen or met our wonderful art teacher Ms. Lewis? Odds are, you probably have had her for a teacher or have seen her in the hall-
way. Here are some fascinating things you might not have known about her. She loves art because her grandma was an art teacher and her mother
taught her art. Before becoming an art teacher, she worked at a warehouse. She didn’t like the job there so she decided to get an art teaching job. That
is how she ended up as Stone Mill’s art teacher.
If you didn’t know this, she has 3 cats. Their names are Hiss, Zeus, and Little Lady. Currently,
they are 13 years old. She told us that all three cats were adopted and have always lived together.
Mrs. Lewis’ hobbies are reading and watching lots of TV. Her favorite foods are steak and lobster,
but she rarely gets to eat it. She has a brother who is ten years older than her but they aren’t very close
now. If she could teach another subject, it would be science since she says art is like science because you
get a chance to experiment in both of those subjects. As you can see, Ms. Lewis is quite an interesting and
unique person!
Shown are Ms. Lewis’ cats from left to right Hiss, Little Lady, and Zeus.

Have you ever wondered what your new PE teacher is up to? Mr. Simpkins is the amazing new PE teacher that came to
Stone Mill this year. Mr. Simpkins was born in Ocean City, Maryland on December 11th. He went to Salisbury University for four
years. His first job before he became our PE teacher was as a camp counselor. He said that his role models are his Mom and Dad,
because they’ve helped him become the person he aspired to be.
Now let’s get to the fun part! Mr. Simpkins has two cats that belong to him and his fiancé. Their names are Kai and Kolu.
His favorite grade in school was 12th grade. Mr. Simpkins’ favorite restaurant is Chick-Fil-A, because the salad is really good.
However, that’s the only thing he gets there. Mr. Simpkins’ favorite season is Fall. He likes the sports channel, ESPN. His favorite
movies are from the Star Wars series.
Basketball, soccer, football are his favorite sports. He likes basketball the most. His favorite sports teams are the Ravens,
the Orioles, and Real Madrid. Mr. Simpkins’ favorite basketball player is Lebron James. He wants to travel to Spain because that is where many of the
soccer players are from. His dream job is to be a professional basketball player. His favorite color is blue.
Mr. Simpkins says that his dream hair would be “surfer dude hair” that is blonde and long – but not too long. Now you know more about the
amazing Mr. Simpkins!
Behind the Scenes with Mrs. Lee By Caroline D. and Nicole C.
Have you seen Stone Mill’s new reading initiative teacher, Mrs. Lee? Her face is probably familiar because she
is a parent at Stone Mill and the President of the PTA. If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about Mrs. Lee, then keep
reading this article.
First of all, the people who have influenced her the most are her parents. Mrs. Lee’s favorite teacher in elemen-
tary school was Mrs. Fishburn. Mrs. Fishburn was kind, and she understood kids because she had a daughter.
Mrs. Lee grew up in Rockville Maryland and her birthday is February 14. Mrs. Lee’s favorite music performers
are Charlie Puth, Meghan Trainor, and Imagine Dragons. Her favorite movie is Finding Dory. Her favorite books are
The Purpose Driven Life and The Bible because they help her make good choices and they are so interesting. Her favor-
ite TV show is “Lost” and “Dancing with The Stars”. Mrs. Lee’s favorite subject in school is math. Her favorite sport is
soccer and volleyball, and her favorite hobby is cooking.
Her pet peeve is when the toilet paper rolls out in the wrong direction! Mrs. Lee was the happiest when her kids
were born (Madelyne-6th grade, Melissa-4th grade, and Christian-2nd grade).
She would like to visit Australia because it is beautiful. She wants to swim in the coral reefs, and hike and see
animals. She spent her favorite vacation ever in Hawaii. Mrs. Lee would describe herself as organized, athletic, and hos-
pitable. She would spend her ideal day shopping, going to Starbucks, and going out for dinner.
She wants to be remembered as a caring, giving, and honest person. In addition to being a teacher and active PTA officer at Stone Mill, Mrs.
Lee is also a soccer coach for Stone Mill fourth grade girls
Now you know more about our new reading teacher Mrs. Lee. These are just some of the things that make her special. Hopefully, you will get
a chance to get to know her yourself.

Supermoon Sighting
By Ruthiga V.
The supermoon is what happens when the moon
is at its closest approach to the earth. Did you happen
to see the supermoon on November 13th, 14th, or 15th?
Well if you didn’t I am here to tell you about it.
The supermoon was the largest full moon in 68
years. The last time it happened was January 26, 1948.
The supermoon on the 13th was so bright - probably
even brighter than a flashlight. It was so large you
could see it even if there were clouds covering it. The supermoon on the 14th
was the main supermoon. It was so bright, big, and its color was a stunning
golden color. On the 15th the supermoon was bright, but it wasn’t as bright or
as big as the one on the 13th. Its color was different too - it was sort of a light
golden or yellow color. On the 13th the moon was almost full. On the 14th the
moon was absolutely full. Then on the 15th the moon was absolutely full in
New Zealand at 12:00 midnight.
Now you know a little about the supermoon.
Have you met the new enthusiastic 4th grade teacher? Well if you haven’t, she is the wonderful Mrs. Trice. We
would like to share what we’ve learned about her.
Mrs. Trice has curly red hair and freckles , and she was born in Silver Spring, Maryland on February 12. She met
her husband Stephen, at Shepherd University, and they have a 6 month old German Shepherd dog named Luna. Mrs.
Trice has one older sister named Ashleigh. Mrs. Trice looked up to her Mom and wanted to be like her. Can you believe
this? She has a Native American name, it’s Autumn’s Flower.
She wanted to be a teacher since her first day of kindergarten because she liked to help others. Her favorite TV
show is Full House, her favorite color is purple, and her favorite hobby is baking sweets, especially apple pies. She loves
to eat stuffed shells, she likes watching the snow fall, and drinking hot cocoa in winter.
The three words Mrs. Trice would use to describe herself are creative, enthusiastic and energetic. This is Mrs.
Trice’s 3rd year teaching. She has taught 5th grade for 1 year and 4th grade for 2 years. Now you know all about Mrs. Trice
so when you see her in the hallways make sure to say hi and smile back to her.
Authors of the article Nicole C. (left) and Caroline D. (middle) pose for a photo with Mrs. Lee.
Then and Now—Shown are pictures of Mrs. Trice as a fourth-grader and a picture of her today.

Fifth-Graders Volunteer
with STARS Program By Samantha M. and Lily J.
STARS is a program for fifth-
graders who are interested in helping
teachers and other staff at the school.
Students can help a teacher or staff per-
son during recess, and maybe before or
after school. For fourth graders who are
thinking of becoming a STAR, it is all
year and you can’t quit halfway through the year. All you have to do is
turn in a paper saying why you want to be a STAR and the top three
teachers or staff members you would like to help.
Mrs. Milk is in charge of the program and assigns students with
a teacher or staff member. Students can help all specials teachers, K-
fourth-grade teachers, Mrs. Dulli, Mrs. Bayer, Mrs. Blank, and the PEP
teachers. All of these jobs will have you doing a variety of different
tasks; it really depends on what the teacher does and what they need.
For example you might grade papers, make ice packs, write kindness
sayings, put books on the shelves, and more. Your assigned teacher
might have you come once a week, twice a week, or more.
STARS is a good way to give back to your school and your teach-
ers. It is also a good way to help you get a recommendation for middle
school magnet programs because the teacher you are working for can
talk about how helpful you are, how reliable you are, how you always
follow the instructions, and so on. Through this program you can also
become more independent, because you will be more comfortable talking
to teachers and other students you don’t know.
Awesome Academy
By Ruthiga V.
Have you heard about academy
at Stone Mill? Academy is a before
and after school program for kids.
Academy started in 1990. That was 36
years ago. The purpose for academy is
“To provide quality educational and
fun programs for children of all ages,” said Mr. Bruce the Director
of Academy. Academy is also found in other elementary schools
including Dufief, Cold Spring, Drew, and Galway. Mr. Bruce has
been working at academy for 8 years. Mrs. Miller, another acade-
my instructor has been working academy for 16 years. Mr. Pan-
telis and Miss Nairi have both been working at academy for 3
years. Sometimes students from other schools come to Stone Mill
for academy.
On average 90 kids attend academy each school year.
There are approximately ten teachers in academy. The teachers
who work there really enjoy it. Here are some of the comments
they have shared about academy. “I love being around the kids,
teachers and parents” said Mr. Bruce. “It is like a family,” said
Mr. Pantelis. “I love all the fun food and art projects” said Miss
Nairi.
In the past few years academy has added a variety of
clubs to their program. For example they have organized craft and
sewing clubs, a Lego club, the chocolate club, and a marble club
to name just a few of the clubs and activities the academy is cur-
rently doing or did in the past. From personal experience I know
that academy is a wonderful place. I hope you have learned more
about the Academy program at our school.
Get To Know Mrs. Huang - An Amazing 5th Grade Teacher By Labeeba R., Shivani D., Nitya S. and Neha G.
Do you know one of our school’s 5th grade teachers, Mrs. Huang? She invented a magic wand! Well, at least she
would love to! She would love to use the magic wand to zap up snacks when she is hungry! Mrs. Huang also loves the book
and movie series of Anne of Green Gables. Her all-time favorite movie is Star Wars Episode IV. Other than Star Wars, she
enjoys watching shows on Food Network. Her favorite food is nachos, and her favorite ice cream is Turkey Hill Pistachio
Almond. Her favorite type of food is Italian. She prefers coffee to hot chocolate, and she also likes tea. Mrs. Huang’s favor-
ite holiday is Thanksgiving because of the food and because she is surrounded by family.
You probably already know that many people love dogs and have them as pets. Well, so does Mrs. Huang. She loves
puppies and she has a cute Yorkie-Poo named Cupcake. A Yorkie-Poo is a breed of a Yorkshire Terrier and a Poodle mixed
together.
Mrs. Huang has been a teacher at Stone Mill for about 8 years and she has been teaching for 23 years! Some other
schools she has taught at are Jones Lane Elementary, Hoover Middle School, Cabin John Middle School, and Lakelands
Park Middle School.
Her inspiration to teach was from her kindergarten teacher because she was a caring, kind, and fun person. The most challenging grade Mrs.
Huang has taught was 7th grade math. It was challenging to motivate the students who didn’t take school seriously. However, Mrs. Huang is very
happy to have worked with these students.
Maybe you have wished to go back in time to fix something in your life or in history. Mrs. Huang wishes she could go back in time to talk to
the people who started wars and persuade them to use a different approach. So, she wants world peace. Her favorite color is blue, and if she could go
anywhere in the world she would choose the Caribbean - any place that is warm, sunny, and has lots of blue water. Her opinion on technology is that
it is wonderful and makes life more efficient.
The Extraordinary Mrs. Paschall By Rayna P. and Serena J.
Have you met the outstanding Mrs. Paschall? If you haven't, then we will tell you some facts about her.
Did you know that Mrs. Paschall did not want to be a teacher at first? She really wanted to be a veterinarian. But when she was in college,
she started to miss being with kids. Her favorite subject to teach is math because it’s like a puzzle. What she likes most about teaching is that she
gets to learn from different kids . Mrs. Paschall has been working at Stone Mill for 9 years – so she’s learned from a lot of students! She says that if
she hadn’t become a teacher she would have been either a scientist or a researcher. (But we’re glad she decided to be a teacher!)
If Mrs. Paschall could make three wishes, they would be to have a brand-new house with lots of storage, a clone of herself so that she
doesn’t have to do all the boring stuff, and lastly for there never to be unkind words.
Another fact about Mrs. Paschall is that she is addicted to Disney World (especially Mickey Mouse). The reason she likes Mickey so much is
because when she was little, she lived close to Disney World and it was a happy place.
Five adjectives that describe Mrs. Paschall are: creative, flexible, generous, caring, and funny. And we should know, be-
cause we were once in her class.
Mrs. Paschall says that her happiest moment was when her children, Averie and Logan, were born. Other things
that make her happy include baking, watching kids’ sports, and reading. She also loves to eat Indian food, Thai food, and
spicy food in general.
Her favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because she likes to relax with friends and family. Other than Disney World,
her dream vacation is somewhere on a beach.
When we asked her if there was anything she didn’t like, she said that her pet peeve is bottle flipping - so don’t do
it front of her!
Now you know all about the extraordinary Mrs. Paschall!
Top Gaming Systems and Top Video Games By Yinquan J. and Kurtus H.
Have you ever thought about what video games are good? Well, if you
are looking for good video games, then keep reading. Most likely, most
of the best games are either on PS4 or Xbox.
First, we will tell you about PS4. PS4 is the short version for
PlayStation4. PS4 was launched in 2015. It was made by a company
named Sony Interactive Entertainment and has tons
and tons of games. But the bad thing is that it costs
more money for the good games. Here is our list for
the best games on PS4:
The Castle Game
Ace Combat 7
Gravity Rush 2
Crazy Strike Bowling Ex
Battle Zone
Now, we will talk about Xbox. Xbox was created and owned by Mi-
crosoft. Xbox was launched in November 2013. It also has lots of differ-
ent games. There are also three types of Xbox, the Xbox original, Xbox,
and the Xbox 360. Some of the Xbox 360
games are more expensive than the regular
Xbox. Some good games for Xbox include:
All-star basketball
2002 FIFA World Cup
If you are deciding where to play PS4 or Xbox games, we recommend
you play on a large television. That way the screen is larger and it
won’t hurt your eyes when you play. We recommend using a Samsung
TV because the quality is good and the games are clear and look good
when you are playing.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a twin? Twins are siblings that are born from the same
mother at the same time. There are two different types of twins. Identical twins are twins that look exactly
alike. Fraternal twins are twins that can look similar but they are not exactly alike. Did you know there
are more than 135,000 twins born in the United States each year?
We have a number of twins here at Stone Mill! There are even some teachers who are twins. For
example fifth-grade teacher Mrs. Hannah has a twin sister. Mrs. Young, one of Stone Mill’s PEP teachers,
has a twin brother. At Stone Mill there are a total of 16 sets of twins. There are two sets in kindergarten,
three sets in first grade, one set in second grade, six sets in third grade, none in fourth grade and three sets
in fifth grade.
Some teachers and staff members have children who are twins. For example, Ms. Wynant has twin
daughters, Mrs. Bayer has a twin son and daughter, and first-grade teacher Mrs. Carmi has twin daugh-
ters at Stone Mill!
We asked some twins at Stone Mill what it is like to be a twin. Identical twins say they sometimes
play tricks on people and make them think they are the other twin, which can be really fun. Other twins in the school say that it can be
hard to share everything, but overall they like being twins because they always have someone to play with who is the same age. Being
a twin sounds really fun. What do you think? Would you want to be a twin?

November 18th marks the release
of Pokémon Sun and Moon, a new addition
to the Pokémon game series. In this game
the player will travel through a new region
called the Alola region based in Hawaii.
This region contains many new Pokémon characters that the player can
battle and catch. The three Pokémon starters in this region are: Rowlet
the grass quill Pokémon, Litten the fire cat Pokémon, and Popplio the sea
lion Pokémon. Instead of gym battles, there are trials a trainer has to
complete before he or she can challenge the totem Pokémon that lies be-
yond each trail. The totem Pokémon is a very powerful Pokémon that can
call upon ally Pokémon and get a “stat” (e.g., attack, special attack, de-
fense, special defense, HP, and speed) boosted at the beginning of the
battle. After the trainer has beaten the entire totem Pokémon on the is-
land and has the Z-crystal to prove their victory, they can challenge the
island kahuna, the strongest trainer on the island.
Alola has four islands, Melemele Island, Akala Island, Ula’ula
Island and Poni Island. Each island has at least one trail, one kahuna
and one legendary Pokémon, and one of the Tapus or island guardians.
Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini are all members of the
Tapu family.
Z-moves are super powerful moves a player can use only once per
battle. To activate one you will need the Z-crystal that matches the Poké-
mon that is holding it. You also need a Z-band given to you at the begin-
ning of the game. Alola has new creatures known as ultra-beasts that
will occasionally appear out of an ultra-worm hole from ultra-space, the
domain of all ultra-beasts, and attack the player at random locations and
times. Team skull is the evil organization of the region and their goal is
to kidnap and sell Pokémon for profit. In the game, the player has to try
to defeat team skull and foil their plots. There are many more new fea-
tures in Pokémon Sun and Moon but I wouldn’t want to spoil them for
you! If you enjoy playing Pokémon games, you should try this new one.
Vibrant Mrs. Voundy By Lauren I., Amber T. and Makeda G.
Do you know one of the wonderful new 4th grade teachers, Mrs. Voundy? Mrs. Voundy was born in Pennsylvania and
her birthday is March 3rd. Mrs. Voundy became a teacher because she loves children. She always played school when she was
a little girl. While playing school, she was always the teacher.
Mrs. Voundy’s favorite book is Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret by Judy Blume. Her favorite movie is Full Metal
Jacket because her favorite types of movies are all related to the military. The person Mrs. Voundy looks up to the most is her
grandmother because she is very wise!
Her favorite restaurant is Dutch’s Daughter which is located in Fredrick, Maryland. It is her favorite because Dutch’s
Daughter has a five-star rating and their bread pudding is the best, in her opinion. Mrs. Voundy’s favorite ice cream flavors
are peanut butter and pumpkin. Her favorite chocolate is Godiva’s white chocolate. She also enjoys eating Swedish Fish!
“Yum!”
Traveling is Mrs. Voundy’s favorite hobby. Her wish is to travel around the world to all seven continents! Mrs. Voundy’s favorite travel destina-
tion is the Caribbean Islands because she thinks it’s so relaxing! Her favorite water park is Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Pennsylvania. She
loves going on the water slides there! Her two top favorite shopping places are Lord & Taylor and Old Navy.
Guess what Mrs. Voundy’s favorite sport is? It is tennis because she has been playing ever since she was a little girl. Mrs. Voundy’s favorite
song is You’re the One by Lisa Shipman because it was her wedding song and she listens to it almost every morning. Can you believe Mrs. Voundy
doesn’t have a pet? Even though she doesn’t have any pets, she likes puppies and says they are so cute and cuddly! Her favorite color is orange because
she thinks it’s a very happy color. Now you know more about fourth grade teacher Mrs. Voundy. Next time you are near her classroom, stop by and say
hi!

Stone Mill Winter Drawing By Karen C.
The Fun Pages puzzles, stories, and more
I am a pencil. I know many things. I don’t have, what is
it...parents. Instead, I have many ancestors. For example, loggers, who
chopped the wood I was made of. Waitresses, the people who served food
to the loggers. Engineers, factory workers, inventors, and other people like that. My
other ancestors are saws, chainsaws, ships, roads, and trucks and other things like
that. These things and people don’t realize how much they are contributing to my life,
and others’. You’re probably wondering how I know all this. I would tell you if I
knew. I’ve come to the conclusion that we learn more as we grow. Not many people
understand how we feel about being chewed, neglected, sat on, or thrown away. And
just so you know, it doesn’t hurt when we’re sharpened. Enough about that.
By the way, my name is Celia, like cedar wood, which is what pencils are
made of. Let me tell you about how I was made. We don’t like it. It’s hard to make us,
no one person can do it! Think about that. First, I was a tree in a huge forest. Then I
was chopped down in about 2/10 of an inch boards. That is really thin. Afterwards, I
was inserted with grooves and they we’re filled with glue. Next, my grooves were
filled with long pieces of lead. Did you know that lead is imported from China and Sri
Lanka.? It is made of graphite and clay and the elements copper, zinc, and aluminum.
Then, I was part of a “lead sandwich” with another grooved board. We had to dry for
an hour and then we were cut into individual pieces, cut hexagonally, and put
through a machine called a lacquerer for painting, normally a yellow or orange color.
Lastly, aluminum pieces were squeezed on, along with a rubber eraser, mainly pink,
and our tips were sharpened. None of this hurts, of course. After that, we’re sent to
you to use! I hope you enjoyed learning about my adventure! Until later, goodbye!

The KidsPost is a special
page of the Washington Post that
is geared to children. It is found
in the back page of the style sec-
tion of the paper on Monday-
Thursday. It also comes out on
Sunday in the comic section of
the paper. It is designed specifi-
cally for kids in grades 2-7. Sometimes students even
submit entries for KidsPost. Another cool feature is
that kids can draw the weather. If you send in a draw-
ing of the weather and it matches the real weather for
that day, the Washington Post may pick your drawing
and put it in the KidsPost section next to the weather
and temperature.
The KidsPost is a safe newspaper for kids. It is
a cool concept because there are not a lot of newspapers
specifically for kids. If you want to hear about new and
trending subjects, check out the Kids Post! It has arti-
cles such as the newest clothes line or the best skate-
board to use. On Nov. 15, there was information about
how President-Elect Donald Trump's son, Barron
Trump is the first young boy to live in the White House
in HALF A CENTURY! Isn't that cool?
If your parents don't subscribe to the Washington
Post and you don't get the newspaper but you want to
read it, don't worry! If you go to Kidspost.com you can
still read the same information. It has lots of interest-
ing stuff! You should really check it out!

The Perfect Gift By Kimberly L.
“NO, NO, NO!” Carly yelled. She had forgotten to buy her teacher Ms. Harwell
a gift for the holidays. Winter break was only three days away and she was running out
of time. Carly felt like she had searched the web for hours. Then she got an idea, she
would go to a local store nearby called Holiday Hamptons.
Carly knew this store would have exactly what she would need to get the best
gift ever for Ms. Harwell. She grabbed wax, some crayons and a candle holder. She got
home, melted the wax and then added color with the crayon. First she poured in pink
wax, then silver, then yellow and tan and then a tiny bit of black. Carly had made a
pencil candle, the perfect gift for an awesome teacher.

relaxing winter break!
Have you seen the new movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? I give this movie 5 stars all the
way. It may be because I’m biased since I like J.K Rowling and the
Harry Potter series. However, I really did enjoy watching it. The main character in the movie is Newt Scamander who
comes from England and has a suitcase filled with amazing crea-
tures and has an undetectable extension charm. Newt’s suitcase
was switched with a No-Maj’s (short for no-magic or another term for
muggle). He gets help from former Auror Tina Goldstein, Queenie
Goldstein, and Jacob Kowalski to help find all the released crea-tures.
In this movie, there are extraordinary
creatures from all over England and the
U.S. Harry Potter fans will recognize some
of the creatures from the original series including the Niffler which steals anything
shiny, and the tiny bow truckles who use
their leafy green bodies for camouflage.
And let’s not forget the Erumpent, faintly slipped into the
movie, is a humongous rhinoceros look alike who can spew
lava from their horn whenever than want. The Swooping Evil should not be judged on its name because it helps the characters get out of
dangerous situations. It is a huge bird-like animal with blue-green
wings and a long tail. The Demiguise can become temporarily invisi-
ble and has white, long fur and large, bright eyes. The Occamy is a
blue-green snake-like creature with a large golden beak and big co-
coa brown eyes. Last but certainly not least, is the Thunderbird. It has creamy white feathers and is extremely huge. Newt brings him
along because the Thunderbird belongs in Arizona. Newt and his
friends also look for a dark matter roaming and terrorizing New
York.
To find out more, watch Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. In conclusion, I think you should definitely watch this movie.
I give this movie five stars for its way of bringing beautiful animals
and characters to life.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Book Review
By Idhant G.
Harry Potter fans have probably heard by now
of the new book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by
J.K. Rowling, Jack Throne, and John Tiffany based on
the original story by J.K. Rowling. The official release
date of this book was 7/31/16.
The story starts with one of Harry Potter’s sons
named Albus, who is heading to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. While he is on the train, he befriends Draco Malfoy’s son,
Scorpius Malfoy. Once they arrive at the school, they are sorted into
the Slytheryn house. They then leave Hogwarts to visit a man named
Amos about his son Cedric Diggory and how he got killed by
Wormtail during the Triwizard Tournament. Albus and Scorpios feel
bad for Amos and his son, so they decide to look for an item called the
time turner.
The time turner would allow Albus and Scorpius to go back in
time to save Cedric. Soon, Delphi who is a caretaker and niece of
Amos Diggory joins them on their search. They drink the polyjuice
potion, which transforms them into someone else. This way they
won’t be noticed as themselves and they went into the scenery of the
Triwizard Tournament.
Shortly after they drink the polyjuice, Harry Potter senses
two things: that there is a dark cloud around his son Albus, and that
Vold (I mean he who must not be named) is near. They then find
Cedric and go back to Hogwarts. Once they are at Hogwarts, Delphi
reveals her biggest secret. (Which I won’t put in here so that I don’t
spoil the book for anyone who still wants to read it.)
Now let me tell you why I underrated this book. I did this
because the book is set up as a rehearsal script. Which means the
book is written as a play! In my opinion, the format is very hard to
understand and to read. Plus, the book is very expensive – it costs
$30 in the US. I would recommend that if you want to read the book,
you should borrow it from a library.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Movie Gets High Marks By Nitya S.
Did you ever wonder what the movie Alice through the Looking
Glass was about?
The movie is about a girl named Alice who has dreams about a
fantasy world. In her dream world, her best friend the Mad Hatter, is
getting more and more sick everyday – to the point where he could die.
He is totally heartbroken because his entire family has been killed, and
that makes him very depressed. Alice finds out there is a way to save the
Mad Hatter’s family by traveling into the past and stopping a fire breath-
ing dragon from attacking them. As Alice discovers, traveling to the past
and changing it to save the Mad Hatter’s family may destroy the entire
world.
While Alice is trying to change events of the past to save the fam-
ily, she also realizes the truth about the Queen of Hearts. Everyone
thinks she is an evil and jealous person, rotten and mean. However, Al-
ice gets to see the Queen of Hearts from her childhood and what events
cause her to become a mean and terrible woman. Another thing Alice
learns is that the past cannot be changed without consequences. When
you change the past and try to cheat time, you also change the future
which can lead to even worse outcomes. After a lot of hard work, she gets
the Mad Hatter’s family back and she has to say goodbye to everyone.
Then she wakes up from her dream.
I personally thought the movie was good, and I thought the plot
was even better. I did not like that the whole reason the queen of hearts
was bad was because she wanted an apology. The action scenes were
amazing and the combat sequences were thrilling.
I believe that this movie was better than Alice in
Wonderland. The actors performed very well and I
would even see it again.
Thank you for reading my movie review on
Alice through the Looking Glass and make sure to
check out my next movie review!
Movie Review: Alice Through the Looking Glass By Rohan G.
Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid
books series has written a total of 11 books so far. The
books in the series are Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Rodrick
Rules, The Last Straw, Dog Days, The Ugly Truth, Cab-
in Fever, The Third Wheel, Hard Luck, The Long Haul,
Old School and his latest book Double Down which came
out in November.
All of these books are about a kid named Greg Heffley who is in
middle school. The books are mainly about the challenges he faces in
middle school with his best friend Rowley. He also has to deal with his
mean older brother Rodrick, spoiled younger brother Manny, overprotec-
tive mom and his demanding dad. All of the books are filled with comedy
and humor. Read the books for a good laugh!
Three of these books have been turned into movies and are fun to
watch too. If you have never read any of the Diary of a Wimpy kid books,
I suggest you pick up the first one and start reading. If you are already a
Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan, you might want to pick up his new book Dou-
ble Down. It continues Greg’s crazy adventure through middle school.
A cool fact is that Jeff Kinney grew up in Prince George’s County,
Maryland and went to the University of Maryland. Kinney basis some of
the stories in his books on his own experiences in middle school.

In 1945 Chicago Cubs baseball fan William Sianis
brought a Billy goat into Wrigley field, the Cubs home
baseball park. He was asked to leave the stadium because
the odor of the billy goat bothered fans. William Sianis
cursed the Cubs by saying “Them Cubs, they ain’t gonna
win no more.” The Cubs didn’t get into the World Series for
the next 71 years and blamed this on the “Curse of the Bil-
ly Goat.” In 2016, however, the Cubs finally made it to the
World Series against the Cleveland Indians.
The Cleveland Indians won the first game 6-0. The Chicago
Cubs won the second game 5-1. In the third game Cleveland won a
pitcher’s duel 1-0 and lead the series two games to one. Cleveland won
game four 7-2 and they only needed to win one more game to become
world champions. Chicago won the next two games 3-2 and 9-3 and the
series was tied at 3 games apiece. The seventh and final game would
decide who wins the World Series!
In game seven the Cubs took the lead 1-0 after Fowler hit a
home run to lead off the game. In the bottom of the third inning
Cleveland tied the game. In the top of the fourth the Cubs
scored two more runs to take the lead again 3-1. In the top of
the fifth Chicago scored two more runs to extend their lead 5-1.
Things looked very good for Chicago. However, in the bottom of
the fifth after taking out the pitcher Hendricks, Cleveland
scored 2 more runs and now only trailed 5-3. In the top of the
6th the Cubs scored another run and the score was now 6-3. But
in the bottom of the eighth Cleveland tied the game by scoring three
more runs. The score was 6-6 going into the 9th inning. When no one
scored in the 9th the game went into extra innings.
In the top of the tenth Chicago scored two runs making the score
8-6. In the bottom of the tenth Cleveland scored only one run and the
Cubs won 8-7. The curse was finally over and the Cubs became the 2016
World Series champions!
The Curse Is Over: Chicago Cubs Win 2016 World Series By Elizabeth M.
The New England Patriots joined the National Football
League (NFL) as the Boston Patriots in 1970. The team was original-
ly a member of the American Football League (AFL) and called the
Boston Patriots from 1960-1970. The Boston Patriots had four differ-
ent home stadiums, Nickerson Field, Harvard Stadium, Fenway
Park, and Alumni Stadium. After they joined the NFL they moved to
Foxboro Stadium and wanted to be called the Bay State Patriots,
however, the NFL rejected the name.
In 1971 they officially changed their name to the New Eng-
land Patriots and have kept the name ever since. Their current home
field is Gillette Stadium. The Patriots have three team colors blue,
white and red. Their nickname is the Pats. The owner of the Patriots
is Robert Kraft. They have been to the playoffs 23 times. They have
competed in eight Super Bowls, six of them since the year 2000 with
Tom Brady as quarterback and Bill Belichick as coach. The Patriots
last won the Super Bowl in 2015.

This article will review and rate the features of two cell phones,
the iPhone 7 plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Both are top-selling
phones in the United States.
In the iPhone 7, the camera lens 1- allows the phone to easily
zoom in and out and 2- allows the phone to photograph tiny objects
very simply. This iPhone comes in 5 colors, the most famous color at
this time is the jet black. The easy play music allows the phone to play
music in seconds! This iPhone has a weak security features. A big con
is the iPhone has no headphone or earphone jack which means you
need a Bluetooth headset to listen to the phone privately. Apple also
made the iPhone 7+ very expensive due to the improved camera fea-
ture. Most people would prefer the iPhone 6+ instead. For these rea-
sons I would give the iPhone 7+ a rating of 6.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is bigger than the IPhone 7+ and
it comes in A LOT more colors like pink. The Samsung also has a
strong frame. It is also very comfortable to hold and to grip. In addi-
tion the Samsung has an easy search tool which means if you open the
phone there will be a google search bar at the top! The Samsung also
comes with a pen that can scratch the screen of the phone. Here is a
VERY big con— the Samsung can explode while it charges. For these
reasons I give the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 a rating of 3.

All About India By Daksh B.
Introduction
India is a fun place to explore new things. The country is small, almost
one third of the size of the USA. Yet in population, it is the second larg-
est country in the world after China. It is the world’s biggest democracy.
Cities
India has many cities. Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and New Delhi are
the metropolitan cities. Other cities include Hyderabad, Bangalore and
Agra.
Languages
There are many languages in India such as, Telugu, Tamil, and Malaya-
lam. India’s national language is Hindi. It is spoken by a lot of people in
Northern India. People in Mumbai and other places in India also speak
Hindi .
Father of India/Independence from Britain
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, fondly known as Mahatma Gandhi is
considered India’s Father of the Nation. He worked in South Africa for
many years and returned to India to help the country get independence
from Britain. Britain took over all the monuments and natural resources
like The Taj Mahal and the Himalayas. In 1947, India gained independ-
ence from Britain because of Mahatma Gandhi.
Bollywood Bash!
India also has the biggest movie industry. They make over 600 movies a
year! Wow! Almost all of the movies are musicals with elaborate cos-
tumes and dances. Most Indian movie actors/actresses don’t sing for
themselves in the movies. Playback singers sing for them. Some of those
singers are stars in their own right.
Bengal Tiger
The Bengal Tiger is India’s national animal. These animals were once
found all over the country. The tiger population decreased because hunt-
ers started killing them. People think that there are only fewer than
4000 tigers left in India. Some hunters kill them illegally for their
skins. The Indian government has initiated a program to help these
endangered cats. The Bengal Tiger is an endangered species.
Religion (Hinduism)
There are many religions in India. Most
people in India are Hindus. Hinduism has
many gods and goddesses. Hindus worship
them at temples. Hinduism has no single
founder, no scripture, and no commonly
agreed set of teachings. It is natural.
There are over 1 billion Hindus worldwide.
Other Religions
There are many other religions in India. There are over 150 million
Muslims in India. They are also followers of Islam. Islam was found in
622 C.E. in an area that is now called Saudi Arabia.
There is another religion called Buddhism. Buddhists don’t say if gods
exist or not and don’t believe that gods/goddesses bring them happiness.
Strangely, one can read stories about gods in Buddhist books.
Sikhism is another religion. This started in North India in the Punjab
region in the 15th century. It is closely related to Hinduism. This reli-
gion has a scripture and a single founder. His name is Guru Nanak.
There is another religion called Jainism. It is an ancient religion of In-
dia. The aim of Jain life is to achieve liberation of the soul. Hence Jains
do not have one god. Jain gods are innumerable and the number is in-
creasing as more people attain liberation. Jains believe that every living
soul is diseased with karmas (i.e. bad deeds).
There is one last religion called Zoroastrianism. It’s one of the oldest
religions that started 3600 years ago. Followers of this religion believe
that there is one universal, transcendent, supreme god, named Ahura
Mazda (Ahura means “being” and Mazda means “mind” in Avestan lan-
guage).
Wonders of India
Some wonders in India are the Taj Mahal, The Red Fort, Nalanda, and
the rivers Ganges and Yamuna. They are remarkable and breathtaking
places to visit.
