Carlie’s Crusade Foundation
By Claudia Kaplan and Kiah Saxe
On December 10 and 11, Dominick Magistro, Executive Director and CFO of The Carlies’s Crusade Foundation, presented the Carlie’s Crusade Foundation to the sixth graders during an assembly in the auditorium at the New Paltz Middle School. For the last five years, the Carlie Crusade Foundation has been coming to NPMS to tell the sixth grade what happened to Carlie, and to teach six grade students how to make sure what happened to her does not happen to them and how they can be safe.
Since 2004, the Carlie’s Crusade Foundation has been working with many different schools. This foundation was started when an 11 year old girl, named Carlie Brucia, was walking home from a sleepover at her friend’s house, taking the short cut she always takes. Her step father drove to pick her up at the short cut but never found her. In a small amount of time, they found a security camera behind the car wash where Carlie had walked by that afternoon. On that camera, they saw Carlie being approached by a man wearing a uniform type shirt and she was taken away. After that, she was never seen alive again. Nobody knows what the man said to Carlie. Nobody knows if he persuaded her or threatened her, but for whatever reason, she went with him.
The FBI helped to find the person who abducted her. They questioned a man named Joseph P. Smith, a 37 year old, who was a car mechanic. Joseph was arrested at least 13 times and has been charged for kidnapping many times before,in Florida, since 1993. On February 5th, Joseph finally told the investigators where he hid her body. She had been murdered and left in a church parking lot just miles from her home. Joseph was convicted for his crimes and now sits in Florida’s death row awaiting his death.
When the Carlie’s Crusade Foundation presenters came to New Paltz Middle School, they taught the sixth grade, in gym class, how to physically protect themselves by using dummies and how to mentally protect themselves by using their brains. The Carlie’s Crusade Foundation taught the sixth grade how to be more safe outside, inside, and online.
The Geo Bee Club
By Aurora Mendez
The Geo Bee Club is a fun place to learn a lot of geography about the U.S.A. and the world. It is in room 2 after school on Thursday. It is open to all new members.
Sometimes Ms. Naclerio serves drinks and snacks. They have a lot of fun on the smart board, and play all sorts of games! For example, students play Memory about the states, name the states game and a national parks game. The fun never ends.
The students love the games that Ms. Naclerio plans. Emily Stettner says about Geo Bee, “It’s great and it helps you learn a lot.”

The National Geography Bee
By Lily Sackett
The c
o
mpetition was continued the next Thursday, between the finalists Sam Kniffen and Brett Longo. The Championship round consisted of 3 especially challenging questions. Brett answered the most questions correctly and was declared the winner. All of the participants received recognition. It was a fun way to learn and explore our world’s geography.

On January 3rd 2013 New Paltz Middle School held its 5th annual school geography competition. The eleven competitors met afterschool in Mrs. Naclerio’s classroom to test their geographic knowledge. Mrs. Naclerio was the moderator and Dr. Wiesenthal was the judge.
The bee started with 7 preliminary rounds each consisting of questions based on the round’s theme. The questions ranged from U.S. geography to traveling around the world. Only the 6 top scorers of the 11 original competitors were left after the preliminary rounds. The top 6 went into the final rounds before the championship.
The first question of the finals was a written response which was answered correctly by everyone. Next, each competitor received a map to study before they answered questions based on the map. Only 2 competitors were left after the finals but due to time limits, there was no time for the championship round. The competition was continued the next Thursday, between the finalists Sam Kniffen and Brett Longo. The championship round consisted of 3 especially challenging questions. Brett answered the most questions correctly and was declared the winner. All of the participants received recognition. It was a fun way to learn and explore our world’s geography.
Food for the Less Fortunate
By Mitchell Zapka
The student council had a food drive and collected food in homerooms. It started on November 1st and ended on November 9th. Students and teachers donated food and brought it to their homeroom. They brought in corn, can foods, turkeys, stuffing, instant mashed potatoes, cookies, fruit juices, can gravy, and can vegetables.
They gave the food to local families who needed support. The student council had the Turkey Trials to help too.
People donated more than 10 baskets of food. The food was donated to middle school families and to Family of New Paltz. There was a difference from last year to this year because of Thanksgiving and the devastation of Hurricane Irene.

Djembe’s African Drumming
By Izzy Brill and Kaitlyn Scialpi
On December 20, 2012 a group called Djembe came to The Middle School to perform for the 6th graders. All 6th graders met in the auditorium from 6th period classes to watch this African band play the drums.
Most of the people in the group grew up in (West) Africa and know the traditions and the dances. They also teach classes. Moustapha Diedhiou, who is one of the group members, has a son in New Paltz Middle School named Atab Diedhou. Atab also has some experience in African drumming. He helped and participated in the assembly.
Mrs. Naclerio brought the group in to show students what real drumming is like.
“The drumming was very good, and I loved the traditional singing and dancing,” said Lily Sackett.
“The African drumming was loud and unique,” Lily Jones-Guida remarked. Everyone enjoyed the performance.

The Tell-Tale Heart
By Hannah Benenati
The 7th grade went to the Rhinebeck Performing Arts Center for Edger Allen Poe’s scary play and more. The plays were “Tell-Tale Heart,”“The Raven,” and “The Cask of Amontillado.”
“The Tell-Tale Heart” is about a person who buried someone under the floor boards and was being interrogated.
“The Raven” is about a man who is trying to sleep when there is a knock at his door, and then there is another knock and then more.
“The Cask of Amontillado” is about a doctor who has a patient who he brings to his basement . He then builds a tower of bricks and traps him in until he can’t get out, so he dies.
The plays were great this year. Last year the seventh graders went ,had lunch and left because the fire sprinklers went off. Luckily this year’s students enjoyed the show. Megan Geher, a seventh grader, said, “It was interestingly done.”
Thanks to the actors and actresses of “Tell-Tale Heart” and the other stories.

Book review My Life Next Door
By Katerina Pisciotta
My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick is an amazing book for young adults about a boy, a secret and a summer.
The main character is Samantha Reed. She is a good girl. Samantha’s family is organized, clean and always knows what they are planning on doing every second of the day. Samantha’s mom is in politics. Samantha’s dad left when she was a baby. Samantha’s sister is the trouble maker of the family.
Samantha lives next to the most unorganized, unplanned family ever, the Garrets. There are five kids in the family. Samantha watches the Garrets through her rooftop perch. Jase is one of the older kids in the Garret family and one night Jase climbs up on the rooftop perch. Samantha and Jase are inseparable from that point on. Soon after that Samantha is faced with an impossible decision.
I would recommend this book to girls because they will relate to this book very well. Girls will also like this book because of the way the author creates the situations that Samantha gets put into. They will be able to put themselves into that situation.
Movie review The Muppets
By Lily Jones-Guida
“The Muppets” movie was made in 2011. The film was directed by James Bobin. The movie stars include Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all of the other Muppets. It also stars Jason Segel as “GaryWalter,” who is a Muppet, and Gary’s brother. Amy Adams is “Mary.”
Walter and Gary live in Smalltown, USA. They always watched the Muppets show. Walter got obsessed about the show. He is their biggest fan. Gary and Mary are a couple. For their anniversary Gary and Mary are going to LA , and they invited Walter to come with them. Walter got extremely excited because the Muppets studios are there. They take a visit to the studios and it is very broken down. The Muppets are not there anymore because the show stopped and the gang broke up.
Walter, Gary and Mary find Kermit and his house. They tell him that an evil guy named Tex Richman was planning to destroy the Muppets studio because there is oil under it. Kermit was so surprised and disappointed so he got the Muppets back together. The studio was a mess and they worked together to clean it up. If they can raise enough money by putting on a show one more time, they can keep the studio so it is not destroyed. Together Walter, Gary, Mary, and the other Muppets fail… but when Tex Richman saw how disappointed the Muppets were he donated the studio back! Gary and Mary got married. Mrs. Piggy and Kermit got back together. Walter was accepted as a Muppet! I suggest that all Muppet fans watch the Muppet movie!
Book review Sapphire Blue
By Emily Stettner
Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier, the second book in the Ruby Red series, is about how Gwyneths inherited her family’s time travel gene instead of her “Miss Perfect” cousin Charlotte. Gwyneth is confused and doesn’t know anything about time travel because everyone trained Charlotte to be the time traveler. The guardians, the people that know about the existence of time travel, quickly send clueless Gwyneth and her partner Gideon on a mission to close the blood circle on the chronograph (time traveling machine). What happens when the blood of all the travelers makes a complete circle?! No one can be sure; all they know is that the mysterious Count, leader of the guardians, wants them to. Is Gwyneth going to trust the Count or try to prevent the circle from closing? I was interested in this book because I like the suspense of not knowing what is going to happen and who is to be trusted. The story draws you in and makes you feel like you’re in the book and can make your own decisions on who is evil and who is kind. Emerald Green, the third book of the series, will be coming out in fall 2013.

Ken Ken
By Lily Sackett
Ken Ken is a fun number game. The name derives from the Japanese word (Ken,Kashiko) for cleverness.
How to Play: Each Ken Ken is usually 4 by 4, 6 by 6. The larger the grid is the more difficult. Each row has to have the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4… and up depending on the size of the grid. Do the same thing with each column. No row or column can have repeat numbers. There are several outlined boxes called cages. Each cage has a target number in the corner and a mathematical operation that you have to use to get the target number. An example would be if you had a 2 box cage the target number was 4 and the operation is +. You could do a 3 in one boxes and a 1 in the other.
There are two puzzles, an easy puzzle for beginners and a hard puzzle for a challenge.
