TMS 2012 Homeroom Heroes By Kayla Mayo & TuAnh Nguyen

All year long, students in all of Tyrrell Middle School’s homerooms have been working their hardest at attending school everyday, and displaying their best behavior so they wouldn’t receive infractions. Their attendance and infraction record was being watched closely by a program called Homeroom Heroes. All homeroom students got to know how they were doing when Mr. Simpson shared the progress on the morning announcements every week. It took commitment from every student to help their homeroom earn the reward. The homeroom with the highest percentage for attendance and the least number of infractions each week, got to go up first for lunch during their lunch period. Going up for lunch first may sound great, but the homeroom that maintained the highest percentage all year long won a trip to Lake Compounce!

Homeroom 106 will be enjoying a fun-filled day at Lake Compounce on June 6th. They will be able to go on all of the different rides, splash around in the water park, pig-out at the food stands, and play games to win great prizes. One popular ride is Boulderdash, a high-speed rollercoaster that travels through the woods at 65 miles per hour. This ride was recently voted the world’s best wooden rollercoaster! The water park just added Riptide Racer, four new waterslides that intertwine and then shoot out into a stomach-dropping plunge as kids race to the finish line with their friends!

Isn’t the possibility of winning a trip to an adventure park great motivation for students to want to attend school every day, and stay out of trouble? While the rest of the school is sitting in class doing schoolwork, your homeroom could be flying through the air on Lake Compounce’s thrilling rides! If your homeroom didn’t win the magnificent trip this year, just remember, there’s always next year!

For now, congratulations to our 2012 Homeroom Heroes—Homeroom 106!



Spotlight on… Mrs. Simon By Kayla Mayo

Mrs. Simon is a seventh grade reading teacher who loves having fun! Outside of school she likes to read books, watch her daughter’s rugby games, and visit her family and friends. Mrs. Simon especially loves vacationing at Duck Spray Beach, where her parents currently own a house. Mrs. Simon also enjoys sports. People may be surprised to learn that Mrs. Simon was very athletic growing up. She played four sports a year and earned ten varsity letters in high school! She also played Division 1 field hockey in college.

Choosing a career was easy for Mrs. Simon, because she always knew she wanted to work with kids. Of course, there is no better job than teaching if you want to be with kids all day! She had some strong role models growing up who influenced her as well. Mrs. Simon looked up to her middle school gym and social studies teachers. Her gym teacher was tough but fair, and made her students work hard to reach the best of their abilities. Her social studies teacher did fun and interesting activities such as making foods from different cultures and hosting ethnic dances. One of Mrs. Simon’s goals in life is to reach her full potential by extending her knowledge. Mrs. Simon’s teaching style in her own eyes is strict, but fair. Some advice Mrs. Simon has for her students would be never be afraid to ask questions, learn from your mistakes, have an open mind, and always try your best. Now that you know Mrs. Simon a little better, if you see her in the hallway, don’t hesitate to say, “Hello.”

Pirates of Penzance… A Big Hit! By Christine Allison & Marina Setaro

The TMS Players did a wonderful job performing this year’s school play, The Pirates of Penzance, Jr. The play was about a pirate named Fredrick, (played by Anthony DeLuco), who was no longer a pirate’s apprentice after his 21st birthday. He decided to leave his life as a pirate behind, and become an outstanding citizen. Fredrick and the other characters go on an amazing adventure.

Students from grades 6, 7, and 8 came together to put on this magnificent show. The leading roles were held by Anthony DeLuco as Fredrick, Jessica Irrizary as Mabel, Michael Rapisarda as the Pirate King, and Billy Nicol as the Major General. Mrs. Jones was an amazing director, and contributed to the play in many ways. The show could not have gone on without her!

Students also worked hard to make this play great. There was a huge audience at both the Friday and Saturday performances, and they showed their appreciation with enormous applause at the end. The Pirates of Penzance, Jr. was a huge success, thanks to everyone who contributed, especially the Construction Engineering Club, Art Club, Mr. Lerz, and Mr. Lindsey. Thanks, also, to the many local businesses who contributed to the program book, and to the parents, family, and friends who came to see the show.

TMS National Winners!!! By Evyn Callahan & Morgan Veronesi

Finally, after months of hard work, the Project Explore Lifesavers won the NewsBowl USA Competition. The team shown above, Joe Filippone, Alyse DeLuca, Preston Lavoie, Mike Christopher, Gina Vaccarelli, and Megan Doubleday answered a series of 50 questions about current events in science and technology, sports, entertainment, geography, national, and international economics and politics. Out of a possible 1,000 points, the Lifesavers scored a phenomenal 970 and took the whole competition! The other teams, the GummiBears, the Starbursts, and the Raisinets, also placed in the top ten. The GummiBears, came in second with 860 points, the Starbursts came in fifth with 770 points, and the Raisinets came in eighth with 740 points. Congratulations to all of the NewsBowl USA competitors from TMS 7th grade Project Explore!

i-MAC Workshop By Emily Scarcella

On May 1st and 2nd, the seventh grade students of Project Explore went to the Apple Store in the West Farms Mall to attend a workshop on creating and editing projects. There, they got to use several types of Apple products including the iPod, iPhone, and MacBook Pro. They also got a free tutorial on how to use the software, iMovie. Their goal was to complete a project of their choice in one hour on the MacBook Pro. Some students chose skits, commercials, photo montages, and reviews. Some even went all out, and brought props like crowns, hats, and swords. They used the iMovie software to complete their videos. The instructors then burned their finished products onto DVDs for them to take home. These workshops were a lot of fun, and the students learned a lot at the same time. To finish off a perfect day, the students then went to Red Robin for a fabulous lunch of burgers and fries. Red Robin...YUM!

Poetry in Motion...By Cynthia Dias and Melisa Tupkusic

Have you noticed the poems on pink paper hung around school lately? The seventh grade reading classes on the Marble Team are doing a project based on the Poetry in Motion group in New York. They post poems on buses, subways, and in about 468 subway stations all over New York. This group was founded around the 1980s so people could see the work of artists, not only poets, but musicians and painters, too. Student poems are everywhere at TMS - posted on windows, above water fountains, near the seventh grade display cases, and in the cafeteria. The poems that are up are based off of their location. Every three days, a new poem is posted in that specific area. For instance, a poem about nature might be hung on a window overlooking the TMS courtyard. The authors range from Emily Dickinson to William Shakespeare. While you are walking by or getting a drink, read the poem, it just might change your perspective about poetry.

A Spanish Adventure Miguel Christopher y Pablo Lavoie

On April 25th, the seventh and some eighth grade Spanish students took at trip to the Webster Theater in Harford. Senora DiDominzio and Senora Daniels brought their students to the Webster. They saw several musical performances along with many unique and interesting Spanish dances. The dances were from many Spanish countries including Spain, Mexico, and Argentina. Some students, and even Senora DiDominzio (after some prodding), were picked to go up on stage with the performers to dance their hearts out in front of the whole audience. For those who were watching, this was the funniest part of the show. Some students had the chance to go up on stage twice, to dance to different songs. Overall, the kids that went enjoyed themselves.



TMS Band Concert By Brennan Zynda

The night of May 17th was a spectacular one for the TMS Band. The crowd was treated to songs from many artists, from Muse to Michael Jackson, Katy Perry to Justin Bieber; and the crowd was amazed by the talent at Tyrrell. Students did a great job on the songs, Uprising, Beat It, Heal the World, Billie Jean, The Way You Make Me Feel, Firework, Down to Earth, and Dynamite, and were rewarded by a really enthusiastic audience.

After all of that, the TMS Jazz Band played their four songs - Livin’ on a Prayer, Don’t Know Why, Pokerface, and La Bamba. The crowd loved the entire performance, and particularly loved Greg’s solo in La Bamba. It was a great night thanks to the direction of Mrs. Curtiss!

Student Council Reported by Evyn Callahan

Unfortunately, Student Council has come to a close for this school year. But before they finished their year, they wanted to do something nice for the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week in May. During this week , teachers were treated to various prizes. Some of these included Tyrrell pens, a bag of M&Ms, and a poem. There were also raffles for Dunkin Donuts gift cards, and Mr. Simpson even won the grand prize, a pizza party for him and his team. Student Council says that it went really well and the teachers loved it! They are planning to do this project next year. All the Student Council members have worked hard to make this year a fun one for the students at Tyrrell. Some Spirit Week activities included Twin Day, Formal Day, and Mix-Match Day.

The Rome Project By Joseph Daddona

Recently, Miss Wry’s Social Studies classes were given the assignment to make a museum exhibit to go along with the Roman topic they were given. Topics ranged from Roman Law to The Coliseum. Students imagined that they had just graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in history. Also, they had been hired at the Museum of Ancient History and ,as stated in the first sentence, they had to make an exhibit honoring the sixteen hundredth anniversary of Rome’s fall.

Students also had a choice of doing a Power Point, a video, a Movie Maker production, a poster, or a model. They had to also do a short presentation for their project. For example, if someone had The Coliseum, then they might give the dimensions and the purpose of that structure, a work cited page, and reasons why their websites were trustworthy.

It was fun seeing the different kinds of projects the students came up with, and a good way to learn about Rome

The Most Extravagant Day By Anthony DeLuco and Brennan Zynda

All year students look forward to the one day in June that they get to let loose at Holiday Hill! There are so many exhilarating activities, like horseback riding, kayaking, swimming, basketball, bouncy houses, inflatable water slides, spray paint tattoos, rock wall climbing, a playground, bungee-jumping, and karaoke. In addition to all of these activities there is non-stop food all day starting with donuts, cotton candy, an ice cream truck that is stationed there all day to feast upon, and other food like nachos, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and fries. There are also free beverages for the whole day!

If you’re not able to go this year because of activity suspension, strive to do your best next year, because you don’t want to miss this great day!



Wolcott Recycles By Gabriella Leary and Emily Scarcella

If you could cut your household expenses significantly would you? Well, that’s what Mayor Dunn is trying to do for the Town of Wolcott - cut expenses. And he has asked that the TMS students help spread the word about recycling. Why? Because it’s great for the environment and a great way to save money.

To encourage recycling, our eighth grade Project Explore students have dedicated their time during and after school to painting five large signs with information regarding recycling on them. These signs will be placed in the most heavily traveled areas of Wolcott to encourage everyone to pick up a free recycling bin at the Town Garage, and to use these bins to store empty bottles, cans, papers, and cardboard. Wolcott will save $60 per ton on trash removal if everyone in Wolcott takes the time to recycle. Why recycle? So the town will spend less money on trash, and have more money to spend making Wolcott a better place in which to live.

Meeting Our Ancestors: Ellis Island Field Trip By Angelina Santos

Have you ever wanted to step into the shoes, and even same building as your oldest ancestors? On May 4th, the seventh graders here at Tyrrell Middle School were given the chance to go to Ellis Island and learn about the immigrants and how they were treated during their journey. Not only this, but they were able to view the Statue of Liberty; which 62% of Americans have never seen in person before. At the island, the students participated in a scavenger hunt that took place in the museum area of the Immigration Center. Lined along the backside of the Immigration Center is the ‘Wall of Honor” where you can see if your relatives passed through while emigrating to America. Although some names weren’t engraved into this wall, many kids found their last names, as well the last names of famous people. Although some students favored the five hour bus ride to and from New Jersey, many history-loving students felt as though they had more fun on the island, because there they gained more knowledge about immigration in the 1800s and 1900s. So, for all of the sixth graders that are reading this, start getting ready for this amazing field trip! Ask family members about your family history. Maybe you will discover that your roots trace back to immigrants who entered the U.S. through Ellis Island. It is a great way to learn about your past as well history.

Ellis Island Simulation By Brian Barker and Ryan Fishbein

On Friday, May 11th, the Tyrrell 7th graders took a trip back to the late 19th century. The students were given identities of immigrants and got the chance to experience what it was like to go through Ellis Island. We’re not referring to the actual field trip to Ellis Island that 7th graders took, though. The teachers of the 7th grade created a simulation of Ellis Island in the auditorium for the students. Some got the chance to travel in luxury while most had to travel in terrible conditions. The students got a chance to experience what it was like to be processed through Ellis Island and what it felt like to become American citizens. The students created passports for their Ellis Island identity, had to bring in money, and got the chance to take a few items to “America” from their home country. They had to go through an inspection before they entered America. The students were asked simple questions such as, “Who are you? How old are you? Where are you from? What was your job in your country?” The kids had to answer the questions as if they were really the immigrants. If they answered any questions wrong, they were detained and not allowed to enter America. However, if they answered all of them correctly, they entered and started their lives in their new country.

Although the teachers had to put in a lot of work for this activity, the students really got a lot out of it. It will definitely become a Tyrrell memorable moment!

The New Colossus Poem By Joe Filippone

On May 14th, all students in 7th grade had to recite part of the poem which is found on the Statue of Liberty, The New Colossus. The poem was written by Emma Lazarus. Students were graded on whether or not they could recite the poem without messing up. The students had to recite these poems in their writing classes either in front of the class or to the teacher separately. This poem went along with a unit on Ellis Island. To make the project more fun some students chose to wear foam Statue of Liberty crowns, hold torches in the air, and carry dictionaries at their sides. Any students who wore the outfit received five extra credit points and had their picture taken. Miss Bourdeau made a PowerPoint of all of the pictures and gave them nicknames. It was a lot of fun!

These Cats Rock! By: Samantha Hickey and Stephanie Mix

In April, the Tyrrell 6th graders went on a field trip to a New Britain Rock Cats game against the New England Fishercats. At the beginning of the game, some Tyrrell students were chosen to demonstrate the solar system on the field using colored balls . Even the teachers got into the spirit when Mr. Jones started a wave that spread across the stands! During the game, each Tyrrell student was given a hot dog and a water bottle. Students were allowed to bring money to buy unlimited popcorn or cotton-candy that melted in their mouths. But best of all, the students got to watch the Rock Cats rock their way to a win against the Fishercats, with a score of 10-7! It was a close game up until the end of the 9th inning when the rookie of the Rock Cats, Shawn Roof, showed his talent by scoring the 10th run to win the game!

M-O-S-Q-U-I-T-O By Caitlin Mahoney

Round one of the Tyrrell Spelling Bee began in the classrooms with students who spelled at least twenty of the given words accurately advancing on to the next round. Round two was held in the auditorium during school, where twenty students and three substitutes moved on to the final round.

The final round took place in the auditorium on the seventeenth of April. Words ranged from “exquisite” to “museum”, but the real difficult words didn’t appear until the two finalists, Gabrielle Hamel and Jillian Noack, took the stage. Words went back and forth, but when the word “mosquito” was

correctly spelled by Gabrielle, she had come in first, with Jillian in second. Both students made it to the state competition taking place in late May. Best of luck, sixth grade spellers!

Hanging With Opposites Maia Regan & Julia Williams

Have you walked down the sixth grade Diamond Team hallway lately? If you did, you would have seen bright, colorful mobiles hanging from the ceiling. Mrs. Mascetti-Johnson’s classes, along with Mrs. Nicol’s reading classes, have been studying poetry for the last few weeks. As part of their lessons, they wrote their own diamante poems. Within each line they wrote words describing two opposites. This project was fun filled and educational for the students to learn about poetry. Along with the students’ poems they had to create an image that represented each word. Each mobile was filled with color and creativity. They all put 100% into this project, and most would agree they all came out fabulous.

Angry Birds By Hailey Popovich

Have you ever played a real life version of an awesome game?  Well, the 6th graders are doing a   project in science that involves the magnificent  game Angry Birds thanks to the awesome teachers Mr. Jones and Mrs. Bove-Virr.  All the students will be making a marshmallow shooter that will be used to knock down objects in front of them.  Sounds fun, don't you think ?  This is an extremely fun way to learn about physics. Students will be learning about the force it takes to blow the marshmallows out of the shooters.  So, if you hear laughter or yelling coming from the sixth grade corridor,   it’s probably from all of the fun going on  in rooms 102 and 101.  All I know is that all the kids are getting pumped up for this upcoming project!

Chinese Characters By Evan Guerrera & Alex Hale

Did you know that the students of the sixth grade social studies classes created some exquisite Chinese fan art? These beautiful masterpieces consisted of intricate designs of their Chinese birth animals and personalities. As an added bonus, to up the ante, there was some extra credit. This challenge was for students to write their names in Chinese on their fans. Not only that, but they had to make drawings of their particular animals. While working on this project, the children really enjoyed the hands-on opportunity to take on a new language. The sixth graders were not only challenged to find out their animals, but what the traits of their creatures meant. This mini project was a lot of fun.

New York Botanical Garden Taylor Dalton & Amanda Morelli

Imagine traveling the world while only staying in one giant conservatory! The New York Botanical Garden showcases all of the world’s different forests and regions where interesting plants flourish! For example, The New York Botanical Garden has a hot, humid room which contains the rainforest. You may be asking yourself how the vast rainforest could be condensed down into one room, but The NYBG makes it happen. Also, there are rooms such as the African Desert, the Deserts of the Americas and the Upland rainforest. All of these show specific regions while other rooms just show a certain type of unique plant. For instance, the aquatic plants room will blow you away with the sophisticated fountain and the colorful orchids hanging from the ceiling.

Although the New York Botanical Garden seems like a place where you would only look at the plants, the 6th grade Project Explore students visited a workshop where they learned about the role of plants in the water cycle, and created a terrarium containing a Begonia to take home. After the hours spent on observing beautiful plants, the group was able to eat a healthy lunch at one of the two New York Botanical Garden restaurants, and spend their last moments browsing the gift shop where they could purchase Venus fly traps, cacti and small things like pencils and pens. All in all, it was an interesting trip at an extraordinarily beautiful place!



New York Field Trip By: Morgan Veronesi

Seventh grade Project Explore students have been waiting all year, and at last will go on their field trip to New York City. They will take a magnificent tour of the Guggenheim Museum, which was uniquely designed by the famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Guggenheim Museum holds some of the finest modern and contemporary art, and sits across from Central Park on Fifth Avenue.

After lunch, the students will go see Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark on Broadway. This musical showcases amazing stunt-work, breath-taking visual designs, and the combinations of the best characters. This trip is going to be full of amazing and exciting sights to see in New York City for all of the students!

What Exactly Is A Reading Calendar? By Caitlin Frosolone

Mrs. Uccello’s first period honors reading class decided at the beginning of May to make wonderful calendars for their Mother’s Day presents. Since the class was studying poems, they made poem calendars. Each student wrote a poem for each month, using the skills they learned like rhyme, rhythm and repetition. They then found calendars and printed them along with their poems. After Mrs. Uccello put together the students calendars, they were complete and were ready to gift. I am sure that the students’ mothers loved hanging up their calendars!



Cupcake Wars...a TV review By Chloe Chance

If you are like me and like to watch shows that involve contests and baking, then you have probably heard of the TV show Cupcake Wars. But if you haven’t, you should definitely look into it. It won’t disappoint you!

Cupcake Wars is a contest with top bakers working on a certain theme the judges give, such as the holidays, underwater creatures, or big events coming up that most people know about. After each stage, one group of bakers gets eliminated because the cupcakes are not up to par. The overall winners usually win a money prize, or get to show their cupcakes at a party.

I really like this show, and would give it five stars. It includes lots of drama, making it interesting, entertaining, and amusing. I also like to watch the different techniques of frosting cupcakes.

This show can be found on the Food Network.

Wide Awake…a music review By Emily Cofrancesco

Katy Perry just released her new song, “Wide Awake” on Saturday, May 20th, at the Billboard Music Awards. Her performance captivated the audience as she came down from the ceiling on a white fabric swing. Other trapeze artists hung around her twirling and dancing. The song was written for her upcoming 3D movie, Katy Perry: Part of Me which will be in theaters July 5th. Unlike most of her upbeat exciting songs, “Wide Awake” is slower, which let’s her voice take the lead. She has a strong, powerful voice that you can hear loud and clear as she sings with so much emotion. The song is already 51 on iTunes top one hundred songs, after just being released a day ago. I would strongly recommend this song to any middle school girls looking for a great new favorite song. Check it out on iTunes today!

The Lucky One...a movie review By Zoe Beckley & Gina Vaccarelli

In the latest box office must-see, The Lucky One, Zac Efron plays the role of a U.S. Marine named Logan. He had witnessed the death of many friends in an explosion during the war. Right before they were killed, Logan walked over to an object that had caught his eye. It was a picture of a beautiful young woman, and it had the words “Keep Safe” written on the back of it. Logan believed that the girl in the picture was his guardian angel, saving him while the others died. After he returned to America, he set off on a journey to find the girl who had saved his life, to thank her. The girl is played by Taylor Schilling, He travels to the state of Louisiana using the background image of the picture to lead him to where she lives. Join him on his journey filled with twists and turns and a little bit of romance along the way. This movie is a great one to see with friends.

Matched...a book review By Serena Charbonneau

The book Matched, by Ally Condie, takes place in a dystopian society. In this society, officials decide who you love, where you work, and when you die. The main character is Cassia who is forced to decide between her best friend, Xander (a perfect match for her) and an intriguing stranger, Ky. Who will she choose? How will that affect her life and the people around her? Will her choice be for the better or worse?

Matched is a #1 New York Times best-selling series, “The hottest young adult title to hit bookstores since The Hunger Games,” says Entertainment Weekly.

I would recommend this book to people who enjoy a lot of romance, a bit of action, and tales of futuristic cities gone very wrong. This original story will grab your attention on the first page, and keep the suspense building until the final page. If you have not read Matched, you are missing out on a great tale. You can find this book at the Wolcott Public Library, book stores (such as Barnes and Noble), and even in the TMS media center!



TMS Baseball By Steve Urbanski

Once again this year, the Tyrrell baseball team is doing a fantastic job with zero losses to date. In fact, Tyrrell hasn't lost a game in years, and they don't plan on doing so now. The TMS pitchers dominate the game, and assure that teams never get too many runs. In addition, the TMS batting lineup is powerful one through ten, so there is never a game where Tyrrell goes scoreless. All of the other teams are in fear when they find out that they have to play Tyrrell. Unfortunately for Tyrrell, being undefeated is not an easy thing because they always have the most to lose, and the opposing teams always bring their best effort. Luckily, the TMS winning streak has not been broken even with the teams playing them hard. Tyrrell has a couple of games left, and has a great chance to take the Jr. NVL championship again this year. Good luck Tyrrell… and hit the cover off the ball!!!

TMS Track Nick Comeau & Matt Mastropietro

During the month of April, the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders started going to practices to get ready for track. All students were able to make the team because there were enough coaches. The students have been going to practices at the high school to prepare them for the events that they will be doing at the track meets. There are many events for them to participate in. Other things that they do at practice include running up hills, running around the school for 25 minutes, doing two warm– up laps around the track, and they also do exercises in the middle of the football field at the high school. After students are done with warm-ups, they get to go and practice their events by themselves or in groups. There are five meets this season for track. Our first meet is home and the other 4 of our meets are away. Track season ends on Thursday, May 24th, when the final track meet will take place. Overall, this track season has gone very well, and hopefully many 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will join track next year.

TMS Softball By Gabby Leary & Kaitlyn Lofgren

The Tyrrell Middle School Softball Team is doing great. So far, the girls are undefeated and are still going strong. Mrs. Matfus, Mrs. Nicol and Coach Frank are doing a great job coaching the softball team to a winning season. Helping the coaches along are Carly Venditti, Rachael Schippani and René Miller, the co-captains of the 2012 team. Once Tyrrell beats Torrington and West Side, they will have beaten all teams in the league. With their great defense and strong offense, the Tyrrell Tornadoes have shut down many teams or have sometimes only allowed a few runs. The girls are on their way to being JNVL champs. If you’d like to be a part of a winning team, are willing to work hard, and can keep your grades up to par, why not try out for the Tyrrell Middle School Softball Team next year?

Intramural Volleyball By Kaitlyn Lofgren

Intramural Volleyball is an excellent way to play volleyball against your classmates without the pressure and practice time that comes along with playing on the regular TMS team. There are about twenty students on this new intramural volleyball team. You might ask what gave Mrs. Boisvert the idea to create such a fun team. Well, when her daughter was in the middle school, they had an intramural volleyball team. She didn't want to try-out for the official volleyball team, so she joined the intramural team. She then played volleyball all the way through high school. Intramural volleyball is all about having fun! It’s a good opportunity to either learn how to play or keep playing during the off seasons of other teams. The athletes love this new idea, and hope to play again next year. Don’t miss the sign up for this next year!
