By Kimberly, Niove, and Theerada When you think about being a Youtuber there are lots of things to think about, like what your Youtube channel will be about and what you will share on it! There are also lots of challenges such as dislikes, hateful comments, getting subscribers, and many more but what we are focusing on is Youtube demonetization, but more specifically…...THE ADPOCALYPSE! What is demonetization? Demonetization is when Youtuber’s ads are taken away by Youtube and their income becomes smaller. Or if something is copyrighted like a song or other channels they can get a copyright strike, demonetizing that video. You can also be demonetized by doing something inappropriate or swearing too much. You can get demonetized from a bot or a Youtube worker. Your comments can be turned off by Youtube but you can also disable them. This isn’t technically demonetization but it’s something close to it. So What Is The Debate? Big YouTubers such as Lazerbeam and James Charles hav...

By Fiona Florsheim So many people are now involved with climate change all over the world! Do you think climate activists are important? HPCMS 6th Grader, Kaitlyn Zdjelar, does. She believes they, “can take care of the world,” but not all voices and actions are heard, so I am writing to give them a chance. Mari Copeny Mari lives in Michigan and cares about her environment, specifically, water. According to Elle , when Mari was eight, she “wrote to President Barack Obama asking if he would meet with her and other citizens of Flint, Michigan,” about the water crisis happening there. The Flint Water Crisis happened when the city of Flint decided to use Flint River water because of pipeline construction. The water was very harmful, causing rashes & other horrible medical conditions like brain damage in children. President Obama did come to Michigan and met with Mari. According to Mari Copeny , she “fundraised over $500,000 with the nonprofit organization Pack your Back,” to help othe...

By Kevin Zamora Recently, scientists discovered 20 new moons around the second biggest planet in our solar system, Saturn, which brings the total up to 82 moons, according to the Los Angeles Times . This is very a great discovery for scientists because they will be able to better understand how moons form.   So let me explain how moons form for those who don’t know. There are many ways a moon can form. Sometimes two large pieces of rock, ice, and other space materials can collide together. The debris of these collisions can clump together to form a moon. And other times, according to National Geographic , “moons are asteroids captured into orbit by a larger body’s gravity.” (Side note, scientists actually want the public to help name these new moons which honestly seems really cool.

By Tenzin Lekshey Disclaimer: these are not opinions, these are facts. They are provable with the scientific method. Artist: Czarface(group), MF Doom Album: Czarface meets MF Doom Czarface is a rap group formed in 2013 by producer 7L and rappers Esoteric and the Wu-tang clan’s Inspectah Deck. And this was the cover of their collaboration with one of the best of all time MF Doom. Their covers are in the style of the 80’s, silver age comic books. Artist: Queen Song: Bohemian Rhapsody This technically isn’t an album cover, this was the single cover for Bohemian Rhapsody. But this is just an iconic visual, and I like it, so therefore it is great. This was off Queen’s fourth album, “A Night at the Opera”, which has an okay cover. Artist: Rage Against the Machine Album: Rage against the Machine This covers shows a vietnemese monk burning himself alive in protest of the suppression of Buddhism that was happening, and I thought that was very powerful. Also, it just looks re...

By Karen Perez What would a normal person do when they’re in a situation of their life if they either try to stop the attacker, give them money or just let them do whatever they want to do? In a normal situation someone would most likely scream for help, right? Well Petra Kvitova in a moment of danger she decided to test her luck and see if she was a better fighter outside than just tennis. Tuesday, in Prostejove, Czech Republic. This was the day when Petra Kvitova was brutally stabbed and in order to save her own life when attacked, with her left hand she got the knife and got it away from him. The attackers name is Radim Zondra age 33, and the court sentenced him to 8 years, which means he will come out in his early 40’s. But let’s start from the beginning. Petra Kvitova was born on March 8,1990, which means that she is currently 29. Before she was terribly hit she started her career in 2007 which means she was 17! That was extremely young, but for Kvitova didn’t let this st...

By Kara Degracia Hi, I’m Kara Degracia and I am a new student joining the school blog! On October 10-11th, the 7th grade took an overnight trip to Rhinebeck, NY at Camp Ramapo for children. We did many activities there and it was an overall great first overnight school trip, for me at least. Not everyone had the same activities done, but for now I will be showing you what my experience was like in camp Ramapo! We left the school at around 8:30am and we got on coach buses. Our bags had to be stored under the bus which was a good thing because I brought a luggage. The bus ride was about 2-3 hours. We talked, had snacks, and took naps. Our bus was an all girl bus so nothing that crazy happened. I sat next to my best friend, Ima, and we had lots of fun! We arrived to the camp at around 11am. Then, the first thing we did was head straight to our cabins to just have a quick tour and set our stuff down. Afterwards, we headed right to the dining hall to have...
