Long Island City, New York- We had a winter dance the twentieth of December. There was food, music, drinks, and a whole bunch of fun. Everyone had a great time. At one point we all danced and it was so much fun to see so much joy on everyone’s faces. It was a memorable night that no one will forget.

Natalia Taylor from 601 said, “I think that the dance was a great night to catch up with friends and dance the night away with so much joy on others’ faces.” By this single sentence I can tell that Natalia had lots of fun at the Winter Dance, and I think almost everyone could agree with her.

Kylie Williams from 603 said, “The dance was very fun and I got to know other people better because during that time we only had three months of school, I knew everyone in my grade but in the dance there were also seventh and eighth graders. I also got to know what song everybody likes and got to know more about people. I danced, my friends danced, we got to hang out outside. It wasn't really like education in school, it was more fun.” So Kylie clearly agrees with Natalia as well.

Nicholas Lentini , executive editor of HPCMS Student News, said, “The winter festival was fun too. I really liked D.J. Dige and Can’t Stapp the music because they made it very interactive and made it fun for students.The food was amazing as well.” It’s true! The dance room was really fun thanks to these two wonderful teachers. Shout-out to D.J. Dige and Can’t Stapp The Music”-

Well, for those of you who were unfortunately weren't at the parties, now you know how fun they were because of these student’s opinions of these two parties. Hopefully for the future parties we can have everyone there!

The Harry Potter Book Series 1-7 By Katy Simpson One day in 1990, a woman named  Joanne Rowling  had a thought pop into her head while on a delayed train, a boy with round glasses and a lightning scar. Thus, Harry Potter was born. I’m sure that you have all heard of the famous Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, but what has surprised me is how many HPCMS students have not read the series or at least watched the movies. 32.6%, in fact. While 22.1% have started, only 45.3% have read the series completely, and that is less than half! This is an extremely popular book series, yet few I have talked to have actually read it. Well, I hope this book review will change your mind! Harry Potter is a fantasy series written by J.K. Rowling, and the first book alone sold over 11 million copies, and many are still selling. This seven book series has an entire theme park dedicated to it and has a new History of Harry Potter exhibit in the New York Historical Society. There have be

Disney Channel Character from “Andi Mack” comes out as gay, and other LGBT characters.

By Dash Fisher Hunters Point Community Middle School - It’s your neighbourly and friendly friend here, Dash! In the show Andi Mack, a character comes out as gay to his friend. Here are my thoughts and feelings about it. Andi Mack is a Disney Channel show about tweens going through middle school. Starring Peyton Elizabeth Lee as Andi Mack, Andi Mack is turning 13 when her older sister Bex returns home. Andi goes through her teenage life, with the help of her family and her friends Cyrus and Buffy, on top of coping with the discovery that Bex is actually her mother and that her mother Celia “Cece” is actually her grandmother, and managing her crush on classmate Jonah Beck. While another one of Andi’s friends, Cyrus, also has a crush on Jonah. So, in the show Cyrus comes out as gay. Gay is the G in LGBTQ+. LGBTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and the plus stands for other sexualities/genders including but not limited to Pensexual, Asexual, and Intersex.

The Downside of School Dress Codes for Female Students

-

By Briana Naranjo  Every school has a dress code students must follow. But some of those dress codes are out of line when it comes to what girls wear. For girls, there are a lot of school dress codes that dictate how much thigh and how much shoulder they are allowed to show. Many schools have these dress codes so the students dress “modestly,”  which is understandable to a certain extent. However, many school dress codes focus only on what the girls wear and never focus on what boys wear. This has started major outrage from students, as this is an unfair system and should be changed.    Shirts that show collarbones and shoulders are said to be too “distracting” for the boys and are not “appropriate” for the learning environment. These strict dress codes lead to many counts of girls being sent home due to the fact their clothes were too “revealing” or not “appropriate”. Dress codes don’t just focus on clothing, either: One case of an unfair dress code was in New Orleans, where at“a Roma
