Ronaldo Changes Juventus

-
By Starlyn Reyes
Hi, I’m a 7th grader and this is my first article. So, most of us know one of the best futbol (soccer) players is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.

He plays for a great team called Real Madrid FC (a Spanish Football Team), but in August, he left Real Madrid to go to Juventus FC (an Italian Football Team). According to New York Times, this happened because the Brazilian football player Neymar wants to win the Ballon de Oro (a trophy) and the club’s president, Florentino Perez, says if Neymar wanted to win the Ballon de Oro he would have to move to Real Madrid and Ronaldo did not like that. Moreover, the club’s president and Ronaldo have problems. So, Juventus offered to take Ronaldo and they agreed to a transfer of 112 million euros.

Fans have lots of feelings about this transfer. Ronaldo has been playing for Real Madrid for almost 10 years! But this isn’t the first time he is changing teams. The first time he changed his team was from Sporting De Lisboa (a Portuguese Football Club) to Manchester United (an English Football Club).
He has been playing really great with his new team, but things have really changed with his old team, Real Madrid. They are losing and tieing some games. Could Real Madrid play worse since Ronaldo left? Well, we don't know yet.

Currently, Real Madrid in the 6th place and have only 20 points in the Spanish League (La Liga Santander), which is weird because they are always in the second or third place in the rankings! Meanwhile, Juventus has 34 points and is in 1st place in the Italian league (Serie A). Currently, Ronaldo has made five goals in the Italian league and zero in the Champions League. He had his first red card with his team in the Champions League in August.

So if you are a Ronaldo fan, what do you think? Has the transfer to Juventus been a good one?

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

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

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.
