Architecture Expo is when the whole seventh grade goes to downtown Baltimore and study Roman architecture. We started off by playing some team building games to get to know our group more. Then, when we went to downtown we studied our how our assigned building were built and their columns. For example, Doric and Corinthian columns are a couple columns that we learned about. After the field trip we did a project in our Latin classes. In the years before the seventh grade hand-drew the building, but this year to enhance more technology, we started to use Google SketchUp. Google SketchUp is an application where you can construct 3D buildings, houses, etc. Mrs. Kelland taught us how to use Google SketchUp. </span></b></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s
November, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Thanksgiving is a
time to be thankful for everything you have. During Thanksgiving, there
are many traditions have passed around. For example, people celebrate
Thanksgiving with a turkey in the center of the table. Other main foods
served during special occasion is cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed
potatoes, and green beans. Many people around the world have different
ways to celebrate Thanksgiving like in America there is a Macys
Thanksgiving Day Parade. This parade is broadcasted in the morning on
Thanksgiving at 9:00 a.m. Another tradition, is called the “wishbone.”
This wishbone is found connected to the breast meat on the turkey. After
the family have eaten the meat off the turkey, the wishbone would have
had the time to dry. Two people get the end of the wishbone, make a
wish, then break it into two. We would like to hear from you about any
family traditions that you do on Thanksgiving or around Thanksgiving
like recipies, places you go, people you see, etc. </span><br />

message about your thought so that you can encourage other people to do
it too. Like Camryn C. from the 7th grade said: “Well, we pick Secret Santa names from a bag with my family. My grandmother makes sweet potato pie.”</span></div>

Once a year, Halloween comes to Garrison Forest and we love it! Garrison Forest allows everyone be out of uniform, in their costumes whether it’s your favorite character from a movie or you're just chillin’ in your pajamas. Halloween is always fun for everyone and GFS makes it special for the students. When you come to school on Halloween day you are greeted by a teacher in their spooky costume. Then we all come together for a Halloween themed morning meeting with fun games and lots of yummy treats. After morning meeting the whole middle school heads outside even in the cold weather for the yearly Halloween Contest! All students walk around when other students judge upon their costume. When the judging is over one middle school student from various categories wins. </span></b></b></div>

Thousand Villages and Garrison Forest are partnering up to have a
fundraiser in support of Ponheary Ly Foundation. If you’ve never heard
about Ten Thousand Villages, it is an amazing store with many unique,
handmade creations from all over the world. 15% of the proceeds will go
towards the Ponheary Ly foundation. Ponheary Ly Foundation raises money
to buy uniforms and school supplies for students in Cambodia.
Sometimes, these students aren’t able to go to school, just because they
don’t have a uniform, or school supplies. You can help by going to the
store, and purchasing some of their amazing products. The fundraiser
will be held on November 17, from 10am to 8pm, and their location is: </span><br />

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The 7<sup>th</sup> Grade</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> headed south to the land of Thomas Jefferson
in Charlottesville, Virginia. They toured Jefferson’s home, Monticello, the
University of Virginia, and nearby Luray Caverns. Middle School Communications
Director Milan Sulibhavi shares her thoughts on the trip:</span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">As we get into the school year, we
kickoff the school year with fall trips! Fall trips are a wonderful time to
bond with your grade. However, there is something special about this year’s
fall trips, they were overnight! The 7th grade went to Charlottesville, VA. At Charlottesville, we visited the University
of Virginia, Monticello and Luray Caverns. </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">On the first day of the fall trips the 7th grade had a long but fun day,
as we visited the University of Virginia and Monticello. We studied about
Thomas Jefferson. He was a great scientist and leader! It was amazing how he designed the whole
Monticello! </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">While at Monticello, we saw a real archaeological dig happen right in front of us! A group of workers at Monticello are responsible for finding artificats and pieces of history onsite. They had a huge tent and were digging far into the ground to try to uncover a secret passageway from the kitchen (which was separate from the building) to the main house. Servants used the path to bring food to Thomas Jefferson and his family. As we were watching, they were just beginning to uncover the stone walkway. It was also unbelievable how
much he accomplished. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> At the University of Virginia, we were exposed to many different aspects of a college student's life. We saw academic buildings, dorm rooms, the campus library, a theatre and even learned about secrete campus societies. We felt welcome on the campus by everyone that we met. Not only is the school beautiful, but it offers so many opportunities to get involved with organizations and other students. It was great to connect the history we've learned about Thomas Jefferson to the buildings he designed at UVA. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">It is amazing that Luray Caverns is naturally formed and was discovered over 130 years ago. While on our tour, we learned the difference between stalagtites and stalagmites (which are different types of formations). Our tour guide took us on a 1.2 mile walk through the caverns. Many of the formations in the caverns have names such as the "ghost" which is a huge white structure that tourist see many times while in the cave. We saw an area where people can get married, and this area even has an organ that plays through the formations in the cave. After our tour, we raced through a garden maze and tried to see who could make it through first. We don't remember who won, but at least we all made it out!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> The 7<sup>th</sup> grade loved the
overnight fall trips. Overall this was a wonderful bonding and learning
experience! Below are some quotes from our class:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">“They were fun and I loved bonding
with my class!” Heloise Germain</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">"The Luray Caverns
were my favorite part. It was fun to see the caverns and learn about how they
found it. Someone saw a hole in the ground with air coming up, and then a group
of people dug a hole large enough to fit someone in it and send them in!
Crazy!" - Amanda Fruman </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">"Monticello was
really beautiful. My mother had visited Monticello last year so we were both
excited that I was finally going to get to see it. Visiting UVA was also fun-
it was cool to feel like we were in college during the tour!"</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> Hannah Reynolds</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I was standing fifty feet in the air on a small platform.
All that was keeping me from falling to the ground were two carabineers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was supposed to jump off, and I wasn’t
really very keen on that idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you okay over there?” Layla was already on the other
platform, and was waiting for me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Um…fine…” My response was muffled. I had put my hands over
my face, so as to hide the fact that I was blushing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, what are you waiting for?” She asked. I asked myself
the exact same question. I couldn’t come up with a good excuse. I felt slightly
foolish for being afraid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And with an
inward scream, I jumped off the platform.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I let out a real scream as I was ziplining over the treetops,
hurtling along towards the next platform.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I think I am getting ahead of myself a bit. The aforesaid
situation occurred during our fall trip at Sandy Springs Friends School. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had an amazing trip, where we learned from
and about one another, and came together as a class.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We began the day with a bus ride. It was an unusually
subdued ride, perhaps as a result of the fact that it was 8:00 in the morning,
and most of us had woken up early to get to school on time. We arrived at Sandy
Springs around 9:00. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After dropping our lunches off, we headed for a big field.
While we were there, we played some games, to get us moving. (Oddly enough,
they all involved rock, paper, scissors…?). We then broke into groups for low
ropes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv8zPBXpjUXKXu4r0rGT5B0bYGy3sv3hfu-6IWAJkGGIjozq7kGm9mw5kjtsZr3isWYv20GQALcH40RSxeg52zN6ky9CjM6qrc_jn7hMr7cK97sBBS8VObxjdo87AqAj28JxfOTbnfAP4/s1600/IMG_0151.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv8zPBXpjUXKXu4r0rGT5B0bYGy3sv3hfu-6IWAJkGGIjozq7kGm9mw5kjtsZr3isWYv20GQALcH40RSxeg52zN6ky9CjM6qrc_jn7hMr7cK97sBBS8VObxjdo87AqAj28JxfOTbnfAP4/s320/IMG_0151.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first time, we only got about seven people through. We
regrouped, and tried once more. This time, we got everyone through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It involved lifting several people through
holes four or five feet off the ground. I was very afraid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just didn’t trust that my group could lift
me through a hole without dropping me. I was proved wrong, and gained much more
confidence in every person in my group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Trust is not something that I give to people readily, and this exercise
made me realize that perhaps I was being a bit stingy. People deserve trust
from the beginning. Once they have shown their true colors, you can choose to
revoke trust. It’s your decision.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
After lunch, we headed for the high ropes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was what I had been looking forward to
all day! This was what I was there for! I heard only half of what we were
supposed to do with the carabineers attached my harness (thankfully, someone
had been listening, and told me what to do).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There was the predictable stampede to start climbing, but I made it onto
a course and started. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I climbled across the first bridge, ended on a platform, and
that brings us back to the beginning of this story. But after the zipline,
nothing could scare me. The rest of the three hours went by in a whirlwind. The
last few stragglers came off the course, and we headed for the bus. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One hour (perhaps more, the event is very fuzzy in my mind)
later, we made it back to school. After dinner, the sun set, and we were ready
to play capture the flag.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was probably the most fun I had all day. It was dark,
no one could see where anyone else was, and everyone had the same goal. It was
all about stealth and hiding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We played
a few rounds of the game, and then we walked over to the pond for s’mores. I
was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">very </i>happy about this, and I
think that was the attitude shared by most of the class. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After getting our fingers sufficiently sticky, we headed
back to the middle school to watch a movie, which turned out to be <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Goonies.</i> I watched some of it, but
it was a bit to creepy for my taste. We headed to bed afterwards. For a half
hour we whispered to one another, but I fell asleep quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The next morning we woke up around 7:30. We got into the
minibuses after breakfast, and headed to Potomac State Park to plant trees. I
had a really good time doing this. How often are you going to be able to get
covered in dirt? We planted a lot of trees, and I felt good about the work we
were doing. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We went back to Garrison, and our trip was over.I talked with a few other girls about our trip, and their
favorite part was the high ropes. I couldn’t agree more. A few said that they
wouldn’t ever forget the feeling of flying on a zip line. Some learned things
about themselves. Some learned things about others.I learned… a lot. I learned about acceptance, and what we
really want. I learned not to expect too much, but not to set your expectations
low. I learned how to find the big dipper, and what someone else thought about
the stars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I met someone I had known for
a year. It set me on the right track for the year ahead.I probably won’t remember this trip forever. How can I know
right now? I think that I’ll find though, in the year to come, that the
important lessons I learned on this trip will stay, even though I may not
remember being afraid to zip line.<br />

There were supposed to be telescopes set up to view this large moon. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy and we were unable to set up the telescopes. But, this festival did include a special lantern parade, puppet shows, musical performances, and delicious foods. The special performances were by:</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Garrison
Forest Middle School just got our new teams and we already feel like a
family! A and B team are both already working hard to win their first
games of the season, which has just begun. Coach Lahat is already
pushing A Team to be the best they can be, while Coach Cline is trying
to review the technical things through the game of World Cup, Knockout,
and other drills!</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A
team is kicking along very fast. We are having so much fun getting to
know each other and all of us are quickly getting better. Everybody is
striving to be the best they can be. Coach Lahat and Coach Rommel are
making A Team possible and making practice super fun. We are all coming
together to be the best A team Garrison Forest soccer will ever have.
By our first game on September 27th, A team is playing Bryn Mawr and we are going to be
ready to WIN!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A Team got ahead of the game and chose their captains, Kayla B., Mia M., and
Nina K. Middle School Soccer captains make announcements at Morning
Meetings, take care of secret “supporters”, and do the coin flip at
games. Being a captain is a big responsibility, but it is really fun!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">B Team is a great opportunity for students that want to learn how to
play soccer or are returning to the sport after a long break. The
first week has passed and we already are scrimmaging, playing games, and
learning new ways to have fun while playing soccer! B Team coaches,
Coaches Burns and Cline, make scrimmaging an enriching and fun
experience for all of us. Our team members love being here and are very
helpful and we are already becoming friends outside of soccer. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">On
B Team, it is fun to meet students from all grade levels and learn more
of the great game of soccer. B Team learns new skills through games
and other interesting ways that keep soccer fun.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> GO B

Team has chosen their captains, Paloma and Alexa C. With their first
game on Thursday, September 27th, B Team is working harder than ever to
finish reviewing important skills that are both basic and advanced. The
Thursday game is at 3:45 and is home, a little after A Team’s game, and
B Team is playing against McDonough School.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><br />

decided to interview a student from 7th & 8th grade and ask them
questions about their daily life at Garrison Forest. We did this because some
people like to look through the eyes of another student so they can also
get a feel for how their day is as a Garrison girl. We hope you
enjoy reading what the students had to say!</span></span><br />

Bentley Food Pantry’s goal is to provide food for families in need.
They are located in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. Donald Bentley has
been helping families for over 22 years. Garrison Forest has been working with Donald Bentley for many years. We have been holding fun challenges to
raise money and visiting the food pantry . This year we will be
coordinating Stuff the Bus, the Change Challenge, and other new, fun
challenges in the school. For the Change Challenge, students should bring in coins to earn your light and dark points. We
will have buckets set up in the lobby and you will put the change into
your designated box. We will count it up at the end of the year and
whichever side wins will receive a prize! Stuff the Bus is a
challenge that we do to collect cans. It gets lights and darks involved
and is really fun! We are going to have a booth at Fall Fest so get
excited to help Donald Bentley! You will have opportunities to go to the
food pantry so go if you can! Contact Olivia, Raquel, and Gillian if
you have any questions! We are so excited for this year! Are you?</span></span><br />

School, we have 3 sport pep rallies each year. One in the fall, winter, and
spring. Recently, we just had our fall sports pep rally for the year 2012-2013.
At Garrison, you have the option to play a sport every season. In the fall
there is soccer, field hockey, and cross country. During our pep rallies Mr.
Trinh, the Dean of Students, announces A field hockey, B field hockey, and so
on. In between each team, he says the names of all of the players on that team.
Every pep rally is held in the Middle School Auditorium. Between each set of
seats, we have our spirit leaders at the end forming a pyramid. Mr. Trinh will
say each name of the member of that specific team and they will come running
down while the crowd cheers them on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our Middle School does
this for many reasons. One of the many is to get the teams pumped up. Not only
because they made a team, but for a great season. We also do this because it’s
always nice to cheer people on and if they would like, to come down to our home
fields and support our classmates. At GFS, it’s as if we are family. We are an all-girls
school so it doesn’t matter if we embarrass ourselves. We may not always show
it, but we are always there for each other on and off the field. When we have
this pep rally, that’s when it really shows because you hear the loud screams
of the friends who want you to have a great season.</span><br />

pictures and even a video! Our pep rallies create memories that will last a
lifetime but who says we can’t have pictures? These pictures show a variety of
what happens during a pep rally. We have each member from a team line up
outside the entrance doors when Mr. Trinh announces the team that you are on.
Then you run down, high five people, and you get to stand in front of the whole
Middle School smiling and even cheering on the rest of your teammates along
with the coaches. </span><br />

<span style="color: #1d1b11;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">On May 11, the 7<sup>th</sup>
grade students had a field trip to The Museum of Industry, following up to that
they had also gone to Fells Point. The 7<sup>th</sup> graders had visited there
to learn about many interesting historian facts. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d1b11;"><span> </span>The Museum of
Industry has many fun and educational things to do. Some of the things they
taught the students were how the workers were treated, how they would get
hired, how they had to work, and what type of jobs they would have to do.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d1b11;"><span> </span><span> </span>At Fells Point, MD the 7<sup>th</sup> graders
were in their advisory groups and walked around observing the old buildings.
They were taught many facts like about the brick patterns, the type of
building, and how people lived in that certain type of building. After a long
day they were also treated with yummy treats like ice-cream and a snowball.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d1b11;">Jaelyn a 7<sup>th</sup> grade student said, “I liked that we
had ice-cream after a long tiring day, after learning several things” After
all, they did work very hard.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d1b11;"><span> </span>When the students
had visited the museum, they’d split into two groups. One of the two things
they’d learned about was the garmenting industry. They learned who worked at
the factories, how the people would work, the types of different jobs everyone
had.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d1b11;"><span> </span>Later on all of
the 7<sup>th</sup> graders split up and did a scavenger hunt. During that you
had to find several facts about many historian things. There were several
topics that the students had to read and find out about. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d1b11;"><span> </span>Jada, another 7<sup>th</sup>
grade student said, “My favorite part was when I got to experience being a
cutter for the garment industry. I’d learned a lot of things during then, it
was a fun activity!”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #1d1b11;"><span> </span>This field trip was
a great experience for all the students. It was a relaxing, fun, and
interesting place where you could learn many things about a lot of historical
items or people. All the 7<sup>th</sup> graders had really enjoyed their trip
to the Museum of Industry and Fells Point, MD.</span></span><br />

Check out this presentation on Social Networking in the Middle School which includes facts, figures, quotes, and survey results from Garrison Forest 6th-8th Graders. Initially intended to inform Garrison Forest parents about what is "out there" in social networking, the presentation has been great for the girls to see and discuss as well!<br />

an annual digital thinking project the seventh grade has been working
on their individual “Three Word Video". For this project we were
instructed by Mrs. Kelland to create a video, broadcasting three words
you would like to say to the world. Some of the words existed of “Make A
Wish”, “Use your imagination”, and many more. All the words reflected
what was important to girls personally and was especially amazing to see
how they creatively displayed their words. As another aspect to the
project, the seventh grade was challenged to display their words without
speaking. Either written on a whiteboard or typed on a piece of paper,
everyone showed their own words differently and in a inspiring way. Check out our video above!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In our Digital Thinking class with Mrs. Kelland, the 6th Grade has been brainstorming ways that we can make a difference. We began by talking about things in the world that were important to us--animal abuse, hungry children, the environment, etc. After seeing the <a href="http://travelingteacherblog.com/">Traveling Teacher blog </a>created by Mrs. Gross, we decided that provided clean drinking water for people in developing countries was a cause we could really get behind.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Our first step was to do research. Each Sixth Grade class divided into groups to find information. The groups we could choose from were organizations, engineering, global correspondents, ambassadors, and water health. Each group found information and presented to the class so we could be more aware of what was happening. Then, we began to brainstorm about what we could do to help!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Then, we chose new groups based on what our interest and expertise areas were. We could choose from creating fundraisers, choosing the organization to donate to, designing a public service announcement, and writing for the Grizzly Gazette and GFSGrizzlies twitter. Each group has been focusing on our areas. Our group all decided to work on Grizzly Gazette which is the Garrison Forest Middle School blog. The Grizzly Gazette is now being updated more frequently and usually has something interesting to read or look at. We will be posting pictures and notes about different school events to keep everybody updated. We want everyone to know we are trying to make a difference!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For fundraising, the Sixth Grade had a lot of ideas about what we could do to help. We went through and selected ideas that we thought would work. The fundraising group chose to do a restaurant night and a bake sale. Our restaurant night will be on Wednesday, May 2nd at Mia Carolina Restaurant in Glyndon, MD. The restaurant is owned by Caroline Cohen’s father and has excellent Italian food. 15% of the profits from that evening will go towards our cause and to benefit wonderful organizations! We encourage everyone to come. Stay tuned for more details about the bake sale.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">On Tuesday, April 17th </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Water for People </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">organization volunteers, Ms. Cidney Scanlon and Ms. Dana Woher, traveled to Garrison Forest from Washington, DC to talk to the Fifth and Sixth Grade about the use of water and how we can help countries that do not have clean water like we do. They talked about how much water we use and how we can cut down on our water supply. An example of how much water we use is in our clothes (shirts, pants, etc.), food (tomatoes, beef, etc.) and paper consumption. For example, every time you ride in the car or take a bus you use water--lots of it. Cars and buses need water in their engines or they won't run. Imagine not being able to get water when ever you wanted it. Now imagine that when you do get water that it is not clean and makes you sick. What would you do if this was your life? Well some people really do live this way, so why don’t you try to find ways that you can help? We will update next week with our progress. Thanks for reading!</span></div>

To begin the new topic, the script of ‘Anne Frank’ was introduced to us, and we read through it carefully in our English classes. We talked about the history behind the Anne Frank script and studied the Anne Frank website. Then, we began to compose letters to Holocaust Survivors, which we researched on The Holocaust Survivor Website. All three classes really enjoyed asking questions in their letter. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Then, in our Digital Thinking classes, we each created our own digital stories on Final Cut Express or iMovie, adding pictures with transitions and effects. We also watched the film “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas,” which was emotional and allowed us to reflect on the time period. It really played a big role in learning about the Holocaust. And finally, after Spring Break, we were fortunate enough to have Mrs. Debbie Levy and her mother, Jutta Levy, visit the Middle School. Jutta Levy is a Holocaust survivor, and her daughter Debbie Levy is the author of “A Year of Goodbyes.” A true story about Jutta, which Mrs. Levy found through a “poesie book” which was a friendship book. A poesie book was poetry written by friends and family. It was a wonderful experience to learn so much about this staining shadow in our history today, and we hope that the next 7<sup>th</sup> Graders will enjoy it as much as we did.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Written by Mallory H.</span><br />

In the 2011 - 2012 academic year, HONK! Jr. was performed. HONK! describes the story of the ugly duckling, called Ugly. Ugly, his mother, Ida, his father, Drake, and his brothers and sisters go to the duck yard to meet everyone. They find him ugly, so they shun him. There are only two people that care about him; Ida, and the Cat, who wants to eat Ugly. The Cat finds Ugly, and convinces Ugly to come with him to his kitchen, where the Cat can cook and eat Ugly. Ugly escapes and goes on a number of adventures, with and without the Cat. At the end, Ugly realizes that he is a swan and there is a happy ending.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

The costumes were almost as hard. For Ugly’s egg, which he emerges towards the beginning of the play, we cut a piece of plywood into an egg shape. We then cut it in half and attached foam. We finished it by painting it brown and splatter-painting it with white.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> At the start of the play, season costume crew was put to work by clearing out anything we could use in the unending costume room. They found loads of great ideas and presented them to Mrs. Herlein to be evaluated. Once they finalized the costumes for the main characters, it was time to decide for the rest of the cast. We got together and brainstormed on what different birds would be costumed as and a few days later the amazing costume crew was already at it! Everyone was fitted and ready to go by the fabulous costume designer and parent, Mrs. Conner! The ensemble had close to no time to change for each scene. One time block was about two minutes long! In that time block the ensemble had to take off a tunic, tie on a headband, find a huge piece of fabric, take off a swim cap, and remove their shoes!</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

In this scene we, the duck yard, were ridiculing Ugly when we first saw his horrid appearance. It was our favorite scene because everyone was on stage and we had a chance to act comically mean. The scene that took the most time to choreograph was “Wild Goose Chase”, because we had so many different ideas for each dance! This scene entails Ugly meeting Greylag and Greylag getting his goose “militia” to find Ugly’s mother. The hardest scene to dance to was “Warts and All” because the dance started out being really complicated. We had started out with about twenty froglet dancers and went down to about eight due to lack of space and things like that. Mrs. Herlein found us some pretty crazy costumes to wear, consisting of green tunics, felt belts, green flowers, and green swim caps. Our last favorite was the Blizzard scene, because of its beauty and the message was very dramatic. We decided that the ensemble would “be” the snow. We had six ensemble members hold ends of long sheets of fabric. The would move them up and down with the music to create the image of snow. Claire and I actually held the middle sheet and it was hard to stay in sync with the other fabrics! Since there were three pieces of fabric, the front and the back would move theirs at the same time then our sheet, the middle one, would move at different times. It was really fun, but we needed complete focus to stay on task and still look like snowflakes.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">On Friday May 20, 2011 the Garrison Forest Middle School Chorus went to a competition at Hershey Park. (To read more about our trip, read <a href="http://grizzlygazette.blogspot.com/2011/05/singing-at-hershey-park.html">Sophie’s blog from last week</a>). Our group of 39 students had been preparing for months, and when the day arrived we were all very nervous. We left school at 8:00 am so that we could arrive in time to sing our songs at Hershey. </span><br />

</style> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">The selections we sang that day included When I Close My Eyes, our warm-up song, and our two judged ieces, Round Rolling Moon and Dirait-on. Dirait-on was a very hard piece to learn because it is listed as a High School choir piece in the state of Maryland. We sang these selections in a church that was just a couple miles from Hershey, so after we had sung we left for the park. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

In the past she has be a choral judge and she told us that if she had been judge us she would have given us superior. At first we didn’t believe her. We thought she was just saying that because she was our director, but little did we know that she was telling the truth.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIXZm0UCDAOB6VqM62HRc_nXQw0RUc3wWvyv6PsX7ArDSm7ESaXlKV-RSIvDyD2S6oWaLCgn6UAmT98WJsi7eypQZxqQlODEqgj0eR5Kd8WXnF4s-dQXSIzxecgK2oaL6zhEog-XvaeTE/s1600/Group+entering+park.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIXZm0UCDAOB6VqM62HRc_nXQw0RUc3wWvyv6PsX7ArDSm7ESaXlKV-RSIvDyD2S6oWaLCgn6UAmT98WJsi7eypQZxqQlODEqgj0eR5Kd8WXnF4s-dQXSIzxecgK2oaL6zhEog-XvaeTE/s320/Group+entering+park.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">After we sang and realized we had done our best, we were excited to be able to enjoy hours of fun in Hershey Park. We split up into groups and got to walk around the park by ourselves. We got to do many fun things including rides, rollercoasters, and 4-D movies. We also got to stock up on Candy and Goodies when some of the chorus got to go on a trip to Hershey World. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">After all of the fun was over it was time to head to the Hershey arena for the awards ceremony. When we heard that the women’s choir awards were going to be announced we became quite eager. After we didn’t win second place in the women’s division we thought we had no chance. Then they announced the 1<sup>st</sup> place women’s choir and the school that won was us! We were overjoyed and very excited. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">We were glad we had won after all. We thought we were very lucky to win that award but the really prize came when the Garrison Forest Middle School Choir won best overall chorus including women, men’s, mixed, and treble choirs. </span><br />

Here are the videos screened during the Digital Thinking and Art section:<br />
<br />
Seventh Grade students in Digital Thinking II learned Photoshop CS5 during Quarter 3. Each team had to choose a theme, research photographs from the 1980s and earlier, and then create a project that fluidly combined all of the photos. Most of the images you will now see are made up of between 6 and 25 images.<br />
<br />

<br />
Inspired by the Walter Wick exhibit at the Walter Museum in Baltimore, MD, the Sixth Graders created Stop Action videos. The sets were created in Art class. In Digital Thinking I, the girls wrote the screenplays, photographed, composed music, and edited it all together in Final Cut Express. The videos contained over 300 images and more than 40 audio clips.<br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;">This whole project started in December of 2010, when the Sixth Grade took a trip to the Walters Art Museum. We saw a whole exhibit on Walter Wick, and saw his amazing scenes built for his books’ photographs. We were thunder-struck by how awesome they were! When we returned to school after winter break, we started building and designing scenes in Art. Our group was assigned Medieval Exterior, so we built a castle and a winter scene. It took a long time, and a lot of paint, but we finished by Spring Break.</span><br />

Then, we wrote a script for our story. Once we had our plot planned out, we needed to bring in toy characters to be in our videos. Then, we started shooting. This was a very long process, because for every second we had to take about 7 photographs. It was important that we kept the camera in the same position to avoid a choppy video. At first it seemed impossible to shoot a stop action movie, but everyone worked so hard, and did it really well. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;">Once we had all of our pictures, it took a long time to get them all organized in the S:Drive. There were so many pictures, and many weren’t organized. After hard work to get them all in the right places, we could finally start to import them in to Final Cut Express on the iMac computers. We grouped them together by scene, and then we added voiceovers. We decided which characters each of us would act as, and then we began recording. Since we were all working in the same room together, to ensure that no background noises were in our recordings, we called, “Quiet on the Set!” It took a while to record, but it was really fun. </span></div><br />

</div><ul style="color: magenta; text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: Times;">Our scenes are made mostly out of trash.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times;">It takes around 7 photographs to make 1 second of film</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times;">When finished editing you can have as much as 5 tracks playing at once.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times;">It took ½ a school year to create 3 minutes of film.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times;">The most popular set-building materials are legos, cardboard boxes, tubes and fake grass.</span></li>
