It is the mere start of the school year and our fantastic school’s awesome CLP classes have already accomplished their first project! This time, our awesome CLP team (607, 608, 612, 709, and 710) worked on a project called Uniting Generations. Like the title states, the students in the CLP class will be sealed the generation gap between our society’s elderly and our society’s kids by helping the older folks. For instance, one thing that our generation has that the older generations are not as familiar with is technology. Every day in school we use laptops, iPads, and Smartboards in order to learn, whereas these tools aren’t as prominent in the average life of an older person. The CLP students created trifold displays plus and a little something extra (e.g. a video tutorials) to display at the event to teach the older visitors how to use different technologies. On Saturday, October 22nd, the students invited their family members, specifically those that are not as tech-savvy, to come and learn about technology. Students presented tutorials on how to use many different types of popular technology, from home automation and music streaming to hashtags and Instagram. “I am excited because it lets me learn communication skills to help others who can’t clearly understand modern-day technology. My grandmother always asks me to help her with simple technology...this is a good way for my grandmother to learn more about technology so that I don’t have to always have to tell her what to do,” says Valeria Lopez, one of the CLP students in class 709. At the event, dozens of seniors attended and were able to learn a lot about how to use the technology of today and also tour our amazing school!

Welcome back to Bleeker Junior High! We all know that many of you here love to be active, but when it starts to get cold again, it's difficult to play outside like you did in the summer. We have a few sports that you could play outside even in the coldest of weathers.
2. Skiing: The next sport is skiing, which is another great sport for the winter. Make sure to ski at a place designed for skiing, like a ski lodge. Also, take lessons because it is not easy. Skiing is sliding down a hill with snow on skis. Do not attempt skiing in a non-verified zone. Skiing is very fun but can be very dangerous if not done properly. Skiing is very satisfying and high-speed fun you guys should try it next time you’re in upstate New York during winter. 3. Ice skating: Our final sport for this edition is ice skating. Ice skating is a beautiful sport done, as you guessed, on the ice. As we said for ice hockey, don’t play on a frozen lake only verified places. Ice skating is such a beautiful sport because it’s a mixture of dance and skating on the ice. Ice skating is a sport for people who like routines and dance. I recommend this sport for determined athletes because it may take some time. We hope you found this article useful and you find new ways to constantly stay active. Even if you have basketball fever, try something new and maybe you’ll just like it. Thank you. After a long time of waiting, the results are in! Let’s find out who the winning candidates are for this year.
It is a new school year for our 6th grade president, Vincent Farruggio, so let’s welcome him with open arms to the Bleeker family. This is her second time running for president, and this year, she finally won! Let’s give a hand for Daniela Garcia, our 7th grade president. Last, but not least, our 8th grade president is... Michelle Kwon! Congratulations to all of the candidates that won this year for student president. We interviewed the 7th grade president, Daniel Garcia about her opinions on being president. Q: How will you contribute to making the school a better place for students? A: I will take all of the students’ ideas into account and focus on bringing programs such as ADL to the students so that they can be more involved with the SGA. Q: Are you planning to add any extra activities during school hour? A: I feel like the school has many great activities, but the more the merrier. Students who want more activities can suggest them and I’ll do my best to make it work. Q: What is your first project for being president? A: It’s a secret, my mouth is zipped! Congratulations to all the grade presidents and good luck next time to those who didn’t win. |
