T he winter months

have been an

exciting time for

the I Team. We have just

concluded our suspenseful

vote and ……………… I

TEAM DRAGONS WINS!!!!!

(Pictured to the left is the

winning graphic, GREAT JOB

JADE!) All of the artwork and student designs were

phenomenal. A large shout-out goes to the I Team

parents, as our holiday cookie party was a huge

success. The cookies and other refreshments were

delicious! An important date to mark on your

calendar is April 20th – I Team Chicken BBQ

Fundraiser. Information about this exciting event

will be distributed closer to this date.

I n Math class we just finished up learning skills

needed to make computing fractions easier.

We can calculate GCF (greatest common

factor) and LCM (least common multiple) and use

divisibility rules to reduce fractions to simplest

form. Currently we are adding, subtracting,

multiplying and dividing fractions and mixed

numbers. Your child should also be able to convert

from fractions to decimals to percents with ease

very soon. Please continue to practice basic facts.

Your child will take a timed test each week on one

of the operations which he/she has not yet

mastered. Thank you for supporting your child by

helping them learn these most needed skills.

I n Mr. Campbell’s classroom we have just

finished up investigating microscopic

organisms. Now we will move onto things

that we are able to see: Plants & Animals. As we

study each, we will learn about the life processes of

each, behaviors, and necessary features. When we

reach the portion of the year pertaining to Animals,

we will encounter a wide array of organisms such as

Arthropods, Amphibians, Monotremes, and many

more. After concluding units about Plants and

Animals, we will learn how each are related and

their impact upon our fragile environment.

I n reading class, I-Team readers have been

busily FLIRTing with stories and books. We

wrapped up the book, Crash, by utilizing the

reciprocal teaching strategies of predicting,

clarifying, summarizing, and questioning. We have

been focusing on the T in FLIRT which is text

structure which helps us to understand how stories

are organized and how to make graphic organizers

for open ended responses. We are currently

practicing reading strategies that help us to more

efficiently read our science and social studies

textbooks and utilize test taking strategies that

will help us to study for all classes. In February, we

are further delving into the importance of

nonfiction literature and will do a thorough

author's study of Gary Paulsen. We will also be

reading Paulsen's novel, Harris and Me. It is a

hilarious account of Paulsen's troubled childhood

and the summer he spends with his cousin on a

farm. It is always a favorite pick among 6th

graders!

In Mr. Weaver’s classroom, I-Teamers just

finished Latin America. Students will be learning

about Europe and it’s rich culture. A research

report on a country in the Eastern hemisphere will

be co-taught with the English department as we

move further into the new year.

We have a new addition to the N-Team! It is not a student, but a student teacher! Her name is Mrs. Breann Zerbe. She is teaching Math with Ms. Sherrer. We interviewed Mrs. Zerbe so everyone can get to know her!

How do you like it here? ‘’I like it here a lot. I enjoy Mrs. Sherrer and all the other teachers are very nice. The kids were very excited to meet me, and I was excited to meet them.“ Tell us about yourself? “I grew up in California, and I was born in Santa Clarita. I played basketball in high school. My favorite subject was and still is Math. I went to college at BYU - Idaho for secondary Math.” What are some of your hobbies? ‘’I like basketball and running. I ran 2 half marathons. I love to sew and go backpacking, finally I like to scrapbook.” What grade would you prefer to teach? “I really like 6th grade, but I would teach any grade between 6th - 10th.”

Do you plan to teach math as far as a career? “Yes, but I have a Health minor so I could also teach Health.” What got you into teaching? ‘’I did a lot of tutoring. I tutored all ages, also there are a lot of teachers in my family.’’ How has Ms. Sherrer helped you expand your education in teaching? ‘’She has given me a lot of hands-on experience. She is also very knowledgeable. She teaches me things you can’t learn out of a book.’’ Where do you see yourself in 2 years? As she started giggling,’’ Hopefully teaching!’’ Do you like working with this group of teachers? ‘’Yes, I think that they are very nice.’’ Would you like to work with a group like this in the future? ‘’Yes, I can see the teachers care about the kids so yes, that would be great!’’ So as you can see, Mrs. Zerbe is a wonderful

addition to the N-Team. We wish her lots of

success in her future educational endeavors. We

are very happy that she has become the newest

member of the N-Team!

A New Addition to the N-Team! - Interview questions and article written by Samantha Dilley and Arianna Einsig



7th grade is excited to begin our 12th

year of Penny Wars! Since 1999,

the 7th grade has raised over

$17,000 for the Leukemia and

Lymphoma Society through a

friendly competition we call the

Penny Wars. Here is how it works:

Every student is encouraged to help

their classroom gain points. A point

is a penny, for each penny a student

contributes to their first period’s

bucket; that classroom gets a point. However, for every silver coin placed

in a bucket by someone from another first period, that classroom loses the

value of that coin. (Example: a nickel is minus five points)

REMEMBER: PENNIES = GOOD

SILVER = BAD

Students need to bring in pennies for their own first period class and silver

for the other classes. Penny Wars will take place from February 4th – 22nd.

The winning first period gets a catered Olive Garden lunch and bragging

rights! The H team will need to watch out for defending champion Mr.

Hess - he has a few tricks up his sleeve! The G team will have to watch

out for defending champion Ms. Luckenbaugh - the quiet ones sometimes

fly under the radar!



News Update from the 8th grade

The 8th grade began the second semester with a few schedule changes.

S and T teams reversed their semester classes, meaning that S had to say

goodbye to Reading and World Language. T finished up with Health

and Keyboarding classes.

The 8th grade is now settling in to their “new” classes. S team is

practicing good keyboarding skills along with learning word

processing tools to format letters and memos. The Health class

curriculum includes the topics of health and wellness, nutrition

and eating disorders, substance abuse, and body systems.

The T team is beginning their study of French and Spanish

conversational vocabulary and culture. (There may even be a small

scale Mardi Gras celebration in the works!) In Reading class, the

students will be reading short stories and writing poetry.

Science classes have been studying the planets and are now experts in

the phases of the moon and the seasons.

In History classes, the colonists are experiencing some

hardships as they are now being taxed unfairly. The situation is beginning

to escalate, and a revolution is possible.

English classes are actively working on mastering the writing process

and improving their style through the use of descriptive phrases.

Math classes are slipping through the study of slope,

as they prepare for the upcoming PSSA tests. Algebra classes are

directly working with slope, and pre-Algebra classes are learning it

through a study of geometry.



How does alcohol affect the body?

By Julia Atwater

T oday in health class we discussed the effects of alcohol on the

human body. Did you know that alcohol dulls the senses,

decreases reaction time, and majorly influences coordination?

After learning about how alcohol impairs individuals, we simulated these

effects by using fatal vision goggles and gloves. Under this simulation,

everyday tasks that are normally easy became quite difficult.

S imple skills

like tying a

shoe,

writing, walking, and throwing and

catching a ball under this 'influence'

became just a bit more challenging.

Imagine fumbling clumsily while trying to

tie your shoe or having to form a death grip

on your friend just to walk. Dizzy, distorted, and clumsy are all fantastic words to describe

how the participants in today's activities might've felt. Some of the groups noticed that their

vision was off by up to several inches to the left or right while trying to throw a ball at a target.

Walking seems easy and uncomplicated but with distorted vision and a straight line swerving

in front of you, you start to wobble and stumble quite a lot. Writing becomes a scary,

awkward alphabet much different than the

one we know. Since vision is affected and fine

motor skills cause fumbling hands, writing

turns into a much more challenging activity

than it should be.

I n conclusion, alcohol is NOT a good

substance to put through your system,

because, well, fumbling around,

tripping and being half blind doesn't sound

particularly fun. So, consider this: If these

simple skills seem so hard under the influence

of alcohol, how hard will driving or making

vital decisions be?



Welcome Miss Keefer!

T he K-team would like to welcome our newest member, Miss Christine Keefer. Miss Keefer graduated from Millersville University in December 2010 and currently lives in Southern Lancaster County. She has taught piano lessons privately for 7 years and has played in

the Eastern York High School Pit Orchestra since 2008. We are delighted to have her on our team and as part of our music staff. Welcome to EYMS Miss Keefer!

Music Minutes

C urrently, 6th grade general music classes are learning about the music of the Civil War. The students are connecting historical events and seeing how these events and the thoughts and feelings of a time period influence its music. From this era they have sung spirituals like ‚Now Let Them Fly‛, underground railroad songs like ‚Follow the Drinking Gourd‛, songs of soldiers like

‚Dixie Land‛, and Julia Howe’s ‚Battle Hymn of the Republic.‛ Next, they will they study music pertaining to the Civil Rights’ Movement.

8th grade general music classes have been working on Piano Keyboarding, and are building a repertoire of songs they can perform, with their favorite being ‚Jingle Bells.‛

Our instrumental ensembles continue to work hard preparing music

for their upcoming performances. Mr. Donahue has been keeping our Jazz Band ‘swinging’ as they rehearse songs such as ‚Cantalope Island‛ and ‚Vehicle‛ every Tuesday after school.

Our orchestra students are preparing for our 4th Annual Eastern York

String Day. This district wide festival for string students in grades 3-12 will be held on Saturday, March 23rd. At this festival, middle school students will have the opportunity to play selections from their concert pieces and to mentor younger string students in our district. Additionally, four new students have joined our orchestra program this semester. We are delighted to have Maddie Askey, Laurel Flaharty, Hannah Franz, and Cassandra Hague as our newest orchestra members.

6 middle school instrumental students (5 students from band,1 from Orchestra) are participating in

this year's York County Band Festival. The students are Travis Allen, Brayden Danks, Taryn Kelly, Sarah Stickler, Ethan Quiones, and Tanner Williams.

Hoops for Heart

I n December the students in Physical Education and Wellness classes participated in a three day "Hoops for Heart" event. They raised $560.00 for the American Heart Association. Melanie

Schaefer, 8th grade, was the top fund raiser. She collected $71.00 for the event. Way to go Melanie!! A big THANK YOU to everyone who supported a student with a donation to this very important cause. This is EYMS's 7th year participating in Hoops for Heart!

K.O.R.T. is Eastern York Middle School’s “Student of the Month” program. This is a way for the teachers to recognize and honor those students that are:

Working to the best of his/her ability

Most improved for the month

All candidates are invited to a K.O.R.T. picnic in May.



A Message from the

Attendance Secretary

When your child is being picked up early from

school, your wait time in the school office can be

decreased if you send a note with the student in

the morning. The note should indicate who will

pick them up and what time they are

leaving. When they bring a note to the office

upon their arrival to school, we will issue a pass

for them to leave class and be in the office

waiting when you arrive. Hopefully this can

streamline the process for you and for us.

We have been noticing a large number of

students who have not been turning in excuse

cards or Doctor's notes. As a result, students are

charged with an illegal absence. After 3 illegal

absences parents receive a first notice letter and

after subsequent illegal absences, fines are

assessed. Please talk with your child about the

importance of handing in their excuse within 3

school days of any absence to avoid being

marked illegally absent.

Don’t forget to check

your child’s grades and

assignments online at http://www.easternyork.com/

The Giant Program is a cash back to schools for patrons who place their Giant Bonus Club

number into their computer system.

A certain percentage of everything you spend then would come back to the school in the form of

a check in April.

A patron can designate up to 2 different schools. If they do that; the percentage is split between

the schools. Actually it is FREE money for schools.

Go to www.GiantAPlus.com or www.Giant.com to learn more. Be sure to visit this site often to view

program updates and to track your school’s A+

School Rewards progress.
