Come See Peter Pan

-
Long Island City - The Theatre Club is doing a play, Peter Pan! The club is run by the 8th grade Social Studies teacher Mr. Quaintance. The choreography is run by Mr.Ross. The music director is Ms. Kimble. We have all of our wonderful actors and actresses played by students. We also have the very helpful crew of students that helps the director with the audio, the set and many other things.
We have interviewed some students from Peter Pan Jr about their experiences. Cassius Quinn Candall who plays Michael in the play said: “Getting to work with everyone is fun because its funny to see people in their character in the middle of scenes because it feels like you are in a different world. Peter is the funniest character to watch because he is kind of ignorant and childish, because Peter is always full of himself and all the characters are acting grown up, even though they are kids.” So Cassius is very excited to contribute to this amazing play.

Then Dashiell Fisher who plays Tootles in the play said: What’s fun about the play is that I’m with my friends and I can interact with them more and I’m in a play. The funniest character to me would be Smee because he is kind of the childish character and that makes him funny.” Therefore, you can see that this play can be really fun and creative.

So, there you go! Come see the show for yourselves! We’d love to see your happy faces in our auditorium. It’s a great show and you’ll love it. With lovely songs and awesome characters, this show will be an amazing one. You can reserve your tickets here. . Hope to see you 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
