First I asked what her favorite Lunch here at Syringa was and why this is her favorite Lunch and here is what she said, “I like mostly all of them, There all just so good and it’s hard to choose just one.” I asked if she would prefer water or milk and why she would prefer this and here is what she said
“I would prefer water over milk because I personally think that water is healthier for you and it’s also refreshing.”
            Next I interviewed Rebecca Barnet. I asked her what her favorite lunch is and why, I Also asked what she would do if they decided not to serve this anymore, Here is what she said.
“My favorite Lunch Is Pizza, rolls, & apples, I like this because the pizza taste good and the rolls and apples are good for you. If they decided not to serve this anymore than I would bring my own lunch with pizza, rolls, and apples. We also asked her if she would prefer water or milk and why she would prefer this, and this is what she said.
“I would prefer water and I would prefer this because water seems refreshing and after eating I get thirsty and water helps balance the whole meal.”

Your Friendly Neighborhood Kitty Cat

By: Anonymous

As most people in Caldwell have noticed, there’s a stray domestic cat that has been surviving in the city limits, with all of us. Every morning as I walk to school, Jeremy, as my family calls him, always comes and rubs against my legs. For most people, they might think “Don’t pet him! He’s either mean or got fleas or…..” But the truth is, is that my family took Jeremy to the vet, and they approved him to live out on his own. He has no collar, but also won’t be getting fleas anytime soon. Jeremy is a dark black mixture with a dab of white on the tip of his tail. If you ever stumble upon Jeremy, don’t be scared, he’s the nicest, yet shyest cat I’ve ever seen. Now that’s what I call ‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Kitty Cat’!

New Lunch Choice

By: Grace Green
A new and strange food is offered at Syringa to give students “the power of knowledge”.  The lunch ladies deny rumors of drugging the students to be “smart young ones “. On October 18, 2012, the lunch ladies at Syringa Middle School offered a new lunch choice, Mystery Meat.  Some students report that sometimes this mystery meat tastes sweet and light.  Another student reported that he had to stay home for a week after eating barely any of this strange food.  The sixth, seventh, and even the eighth graders at Syringa are creating a petition to stop the madness of The Mystery Meat Abomination.

Kidnapper at Justice

By:Grace Green

A kidnapping at Syringa Middle School?  Where has the mysterious, shady, straight A student gone to?  On a Friday afternoon, Mr. Swan reported the shy student missing.  This was a strange event because this student, who was later known as Fred Derington, never missed a day of school in his life.Three days later Mrs. Gomez was walking by and heard a muffled screaming from inside the boys locker room.  The janitor came and popped open the locker where the sound was coming from and there they found Derington, stuffed in a stinky locker filled to the rim with dirty socks.  Derington later explained, “ I was just trying to hide from Ms. Pederson because I haven’t been bringing my cello to school. “

PAWS for the second quarter

By: Kelsey Ferro & Rebecca Barnet

 For the second quarter we have a few new paws activities. Each teacher this quarter has either continued a paws activity or chosen a new one.  Last quarter Mrs. Gomez had a geography bee and beginning Spanish paws. This quarter she has planet Zebra. But she is still continuing SMS helpers except it is on Tuesdays not Thursdays.

            Karaoke is all week long still. On Tuesdays and Fridays Mrs. Archuleta is doing it. On Mondays and Thursdays Mrs. Foreman is doing it. The kids that go each week are stoked for Karaoke paws this quarter.

            Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. Downing will be doing arts and crafts Mondays through Thursdays and CFES/CAPS on Friday. Mrs. Hamby will be doing intervention all week long.

            Once again Mr. Henson will be doing kickball, capture the flag and Frisbee golf, just on different days. He will be having PAWS all week and kickball twice.

            Mr. Yowell will be teaching a mythology PAWS. He will have it on Mondays and will have intervention all the rest of the week. He changed it from meditation.

            Some teachers have decided less or no PAWS. But there are some teachers that have choose more PAWS than interventions. So it is your chose. Pick wisely not just to hang with friends but pick intervention to bring up grades or to work on projects. You never know when intervention will come in handy.

            There are many others but  that would take to long to explain so have fun! You are getting your PAWS schedule during 3^rd period on October 29, 2012. Thanks to the teachers, we have fun during PAWS!

Orchestra

By: Madison Shields-McLeish

On October 18^th, Syringa’s six, seventh, and eighth grade orchestra made a fantastic appearance at CHS. The sixth graders played a fancy fiddle piece that had a little twist at the end. The seventh graders played a different version of “London Bridges Don’t Fall Down” as “Viola Bridges Don’t Fall Down”. The big finally was the eighth graders joining forces with Jefferson’s eighth graders playing Mountain King. Everyone did a wonderful and the parent’s seemed to enjoy the concert. Syringa’s next orchestra concert will be December 17^th, 2012.
