TMS OPENS SCHOOL STORE By Autumn Briglia & Regan Richard

              At the end of October, Tyrrell Take-Out, the new Tyrrell school store had its grand opening.  Mrs. Tansley got things started with a ribbon cutting ceremony.      Students flooded the store in hopes of being the first to see what items were on sale there. And they were happy to find a good variety of things being sold.  Presently, there are many school supplies being sold  -   pencils, pens, erasers, pencil sharpeners, index cards, loose leaf paper, binders, Wite-Out tape, rulers, poster boards, glue sticks, and more.  The store also carries some fun items such as puzzle cubes, hacky sacks, and critter clip-ons.  Tyrrell Take-Out just started carrying the very popular multi-colored para-cord bracelets, and they sold out in just two days!

             The eighth grade Project Explore students are responsible for ordering,    stocking, pricing, and keeping the inventory for the store.  They also take care of     customers along with help from the Project Explore sixth and seventh graders. As the year progresses, there will be additional items added to the store, like customized    Tyrrell items such as hats, water bottles, tee-shirts, book covers, etc. 

               Tyrrell Take-Out is open during Monday, Wednesday, and Friday lunch waves.  If you need supplies for  either your classes or projects, the school store is sure to have everything you need. The Project Explore students will be happy to assist you with your purchases, and will  finalize your transaction with a required receipt. Profits from the school store will go directly into the school activity fund, so when you support the store, you are helping all students at Tyrrell Middle School.  So why not stop by and do some shopping? Can’t wait to see you all there!

Spotlight on… Mr. Jones By Jessica Bylyku & Selina Capozzi

Ever wonder what goes on behind the wacky world of Mr. Jones? Well,  as two of his former students, we sat down with our favorite teacher and got the truth about what makes him tick. What are his dreams? What does he do to relax? What’s his happiest memory? The answers are coming right up, and they just might surprise you!

Early one morning, we got together with sixth grade science teacher Mr. Jones to discover just what goes on in Mr. Jones’s creative mind. When asked what he does to relax, Mr. Jones casually said, “I love to just hang out with family and spend time with those I love. I also go on Facebook!” After laughing some, we went to the next question, asking what his dreams were. “I would love to just explore the world and the natural phenomenon. I want to be a role model and make a difference for my kids.” Then, we asked him what his happiest memory was. After giving it some thought he said, “The birth of my three kids has to be the happiest time of my life. They are my everything, and I crave them when I’m away.” We asked Mr. Jones if there was anything else he wanted to share with us. “I grew up in     Wolcott and have been teaching science for seven years. I love teaching, and the middle school atmosphere!” Also, Mr. Jones has a gecko spotted lizard named Miss Chewy in his room! Full of corny jokes, booming laughter, and  buckets of fun, we think it’s finally time to put a spotlight on Mr. Jones!

John’s “Running Dream” By Caitlin Mahoney & Jillian Noack

              In September, Tyrrell students greatly enjoyed a visit from John Tartaglio, a double AK amputee.  He told everyone his story, and how he’s overcome his obstacles along the way.  When John was a junior in high school, he was perfectly      normal, athletic,  and healthy… that is until he developed a rare

infection,  which less than forty people had ever had before him.  Because of this, doctors were forced to amputate his two legs.

             Although the process was very difficult for the young athlete, with a lot of perseverance and hope, John began to set small goals for himself  -  ones that he knew he had a good chance  of achieving.  One of these goals included walking to receive his high school diploma on his graduation day.  After that came many races, a college degree, and several triathlons.  Lastly, his final goal was to complete the 26.2 mile long New York City Marathon.  Using his “running legs”, John finally completed the long course.

             During John Tartaglio’s presentation, Tyrrell kids were definitely inspired by his accomplishments.  John was even able to teach us how to set our own goals.  His main tip was to start small, and do something that is possible to achieve.  From there, keep building on.  Also, in the school-wide assembly, we discussed this year’s One School One Read book, The Running Dream.  We analyzed the similarities and differences between John’s experiences and the book’s main character, Jessica’s experiences.  For sure, all of the Tyrrell students enjoyed the assembly run by our guest speaker, John Tartaglio.

Unity Day By Gabby Hamel & Wenting Zheng

             On Wednesday, October 10th, Tyrrell students fluorescently united with schools all across the country in the fight against bullying.   October is Bullying Awareness Month, and  Unity Day is the day kids and staff wore orange to show bullying victims they were not alone.

              This cause is so important, that Tyrrell’s participation in Unity Day was actually on TV news! “You should be able to be yourself,” says MiNasia Lewis in her interview with Fox News. She made clear that no one should have to be afraid  to come to school, because they are never alone. The Tyrrell guidance department got Unity Day started, and asked everyone in the building to wear orange. The students at TMS are certainly lucky to have guidance counselors like Mrs. Buzzelli and Mrs. Bishopric who are aware of problems with bullying, and have good advice to give to students who are having problems with   bullying. It is important to know that Tyrrell is a safe place to come to school, and a safe place for everyone to just be themselves.  Everyone thanks Mrs. Buzzelli and Mrs. Bishopric for all they do for us.  Thank you also to all the students and teachers that participated in this truly inspiring day.  They all help make Tyrrell a great place to be every day

TMS Florida Trip... By Evan Guerrera & Alex Hale

              This year the students of the 7th grade have an extraordinary opportunity. They have the chance to visit the great state of Florida and what it has to offer their growing minds. The trip which is run by seventh grade science teacher Ms. Trovato, will last for a full five days, and include pure learning and adventure! Here is a taste of what students will experience. First, they will have the time of their lives swimming with dolphins!  Snorkeling at a reef is also included on this trip! As an added bonus, the students will be able to explore the Everglades at night! They will surely have a  blast exploring the vast landscape!

                So, we hope we’ve convinced you to consider embarking on this journey of learning and fun.  If you do    decide to take the trip the Florida this June, it will surely be an experience of a lifetime!  And if you don’t get to go this year, maybe you’ll catch it next time around!

The Discovery Program By Gillian Farina & Caitlin Frosolone

Learning about your teachers and peers is truly interesting, so that’s why TMS   started the new Mentor/Mentee program. Students are put into small groups, depending on their grade and homeroom, with various teachers called mentors. With these teachers,  students learn about making goals, bullying, and improving their lives as they grow up to be mature adults. The strategies they learn will help them through the rest of middle school, through high school, and even through college. Our guidance counselors were thoughtful, and set up Naviance accounts on the computers for students so that they could interact with them and help them if something is bothering them. There are many activities on the website related to setting goals,    understanding bullying, and finding ways to become better students. Our teachers want us to respect, and be         respected by others, and that is another reason for the Discovery Program. You see, when you learn new things about other people, you sometimes end up learning new things about yourself.

Children’s Books Josh Lavallee & Billy Platt

The students in 7th grade at Tyrrell Middle School are going back to their roots and doing something special in writing class this year. They’re creating children’s books! This assignment might be for a grade, but it’s definitely a fun one. The students will work from rough to final drafts, then go on the computer and make their ideas come to life. They’ll use their written copies to make the text on the pages, and they can add pictures   already found on the program, or draw their own pictures and scan them into the computer. Their projects will get saved into the online system, so whoever goes on the  program can see some great examples of children’s books. This is one project students will definitely enjoy doing, and one they will not soon forget.

TMS Best Pet Contest By Donaven Bianchi & Kyle Graveline

              Do you think you have the best pet in all of TMS?  Well, there is going to be a competition to see who has the most interesting pet in our school this year. If you would like to enter your pet in this contest, please bring in a picture of your pet (with your name and homeroom number written on the back), to Project      Explore RM 113. Students will vote for their favorites, and if your pet wins, then both you and your pet will be featured on the front page of the next Tyrrell Times for the entire school to see.   And, of course you will also win bragging rights for the rest of the school year!

            Good luck...and remember to bring in those pet pictures by January  15th!

Student Council...Reported by Stephanie Mix & Jillian Noack

              Student Council is off to a great start this year!  The three projects completed so far this year were all outstanding successes!  As we do every year, in October we raised some money for the   Student Council at our annual Open House event.  Council members sold chances to win $25 American Express gift cards to the many parents who came in for teacher conferences.  Congrats to Evan Pisani and Amanda Morelli our two winners! Secondly, thanks to everyone at TMS who bought our Halloween Pencil Grams this year. We had an awesome outcome, and raised  $100 for the “Swim with Mike” charity. We could not have done it without you!  Lastly, the Student Council helped out with a Thanksgiving Luncheon at the Rietdyke Senior Center.  TMS students baked cookies to bring and serve to Wolcott seniors. Your Student Council looks forward to serving  the TMS  community throughout the year. Thanks for all your support!

Project Explore: An Inside Look By: Spencer Miers & Lauren Wright

        Most TMS students know that the Project  Explore program is for gifted kids, but they   often ask us what we do in Project Explore. Well, each grade does different things.  The 6th graders grow hydroponic plants in the greenhouse, the 7th graders write the school  newspaper, and the 8th graders learn about the stock market.  We focus on our goals a lot, and on how to become responsible adults in the future. How do we do this? Well, we learn about current events in the news. Some may think that it’s just  more work, but it creates more responsible people. The news helps us by letting us know what’s   going on in our world today and what could happen in our world tomorrow. Project Explore kids also get to compete in national and international challenges in math, spelling, science, and current events. These contests give us a competitive edge by making us more aware of how much more there is to learn about things. We also spend time on solving Mensa puzzles, Stories with Holes, Tanglers, Perplexors, and other challenging puzzles. We get to go on some good field trips, and this year, fellow Project Explore students even  got to open a school store and work it every day at lunch.  I guess you can say that Project Explore is more work than you would think!

J-line Against Bullying Evan Guerrera & Alex Hale

              A great dancer and singer who calls himself J-line came to our school recently to teach us about bullying.  He did this through dancing. He told us how he was bullied throughout his  elementary school years, and how this all changed when he found dance. He was passionate about what he did and was proud of it. He didn't care if people bullied him because he loved what he did. He soon found two dance partners to accompany him.  Now he dances to other artists’ songs and creates his own songs. He shared with us the power of a positive  attitude. He encouraged students to stand up for themselves, believe in themselves, and to follow their own dreams.  He helped us know his strategy for fighting bullying.

7th Grade Hits The Road By: Gabby Hamel and Wenting Zheng

On November 5th, seventh grade students took a trip to the awesome Boston Science Museum. There, they enjoyed the fantastic 3D effects of the amazing IMAX show. In addition, students traveled through space in the planetarium. They walked up the musical steps to  the mammoth exhibits and   continued on to the beehive. Overall, the kids had a blast (especially in the space exhibit), and were grateful for the opportunity to visit Boston.

Spanish Around the World By Julia Williams

In early October, seventh grade Spanish classes had to search the globe for the 21 Spanish speaking    countries and their capitals. To help study for an upcoming quiz, these students were presented with a project. Each individual person had to create a large map and identify each and every Spanish speaking country. Then, they had to color in the countries that spoke Spanish in various    different colors, and non-Spanish speaking countries were colored brown. Seventh grade Spanish student Tyler Sgrott said, “This project was a lot more helpful than doing   worksheets.” The majority of students got good grades on their quizzes just because of this project. Most would agree with Tyler that creating these maps to be used as study guides was a fantastic idea!

TMS Honors Veterans By Sam Hickey & Caitlin Mahoney

In November, several veterans came to TMS  to talk to the students. Over the morning announcements, Mayor Dunn talked to the students about the importance of Veteran’s Day. He told the kids how these veterans risked their lives for us.  Students asked veterans if they could come to the homerooms to talk to the classes about their experiences. The veterans gladly discussed the children’s questions with them. Afterwards, the students colored and created thank you cards for these veterans. Inside, they wrote  messages thanking the veterans for supporting America and keeping it safe. Also, they thanked them for coming into their school to talk to their classes. The cards were delivered to the veterans and some were hung in the halls at Tyrrell. All the students had a great time, and they hope that the veterans come again next year.

A Journey Back in Time to Ancient Egypt By David Lofgren

The ancient land of Egypt came alive and just exploded in Ms. Wry’s and Mr. Toller’s classrooms in early November. If you walked down the seventh grade hallway, and took a look in those rooms you would have found them filled with ancient pyramids, death masks, and mummies...oh my! The seventh grade students made 3D replicas of Egyptian artifacts.  Students got to choose which they wanted to make.  Also, students recorded a journal entry for each day they spent “in Egypt”.  They wrote down information on everything from the word “toggery” to information about the really fascinating mummification  process. Students had a lot of fun learning about ancient Egypt and completing this project.  And if next year’s students get to do it, they probably will too. 

Reading on Trial? By: Erin MacDonald

It was an exciting October day for Ms. Werenko’s 7th grade reading classes. In the short story they were reading, Bargain, one of the main characters named Mr. Baumer was accused of killing a man who goes by the name of Freighter Slade. To determine whether or not Baumer had killed Slade, we recently held our own version of a court trial to prove whether or not Mr. Baumer had really committed the crime. The students could be a judge, a lawyer, a witness such as Al, Mr. Baumer’s friend, Mr. Baumer, or part of the jury.  After about two days of court, it was decided that Mr. Baumer was proven guilty, much to his disappointment. So, with that, Baumer was put into jail for the rest of his life.  No matter the outcome, we can assure you that everyone had a great time. Being a     witness had a lot of pressure, and I’m sure the jury did, too. But, nonetheless, it was an interesting way to look at a short story in reading class.

Visit Our Islands On Your Next Vacation! By Lauren Sullivan

 In the first quarter of this school year, the sixth graders had to complete an island project in Social Studies.  Each student worked in a group, with a partner, or alone.  Although there was no limit to the theme of your island, many of the islands were sports related or cartoon themed. While there was plenty of opportunity for creativity, there were some requirements to earn full credit on this  assignment.  Students had to include at least five landforms, five bodies of water, a compass rose, exact coordinates, and facts about vegetation and animals living on the  island all relating to the specific theme.  After the island projects were  completed, students presented them to their  classes.  Even though someone might think this was just a coloring project, it really required a lot of thought and planning.  It also gave students a chance to work together to solve problems.   It was also fun!

Reading Is Very Rewarding by Karissa Andre

 Congratulations to all of the sixth graders who participated in Team Read and read over 1,200 pages. Everyone who made goal in the first quarter got to go down to the cafeteria instead of to their 1^st and 2^nd period classes. They got to pick a breakfast food to eat including a muffin or a Rice Crispy Treat and a hot chocolate. They even got to play cards and board games with their friends who also made goal. Unfortunately, the kids who didn’t make the reward, had to sit in their homeroom during that time and do a pile of school work.  They soon learned that it was not fun! So if you were one of those unfortunate people, don’t miss the next reward. You only have three more chances this year!

Grade 6 Starts Their Year With A Field Day By Sarah Hull

Field Day was an exciting event enjoyed by all of the 6^th graders at Tyrrell Middle School. It was a chilly September morning, but as time passed by, it got very hot. There were many fun and unique activities occurring throughout the day, such as attempting to make the tallest tower out of materials made of paper. There was also a station run by Mr. Jones and Mrs. Bove-Virr where students created boats made of aluminum foil. The challenge was to see how many pennies your ship could hold until it sank.   Sadly, a future in boat-building doesn’t appear to be an avenue I should pursue! The tarp flip challenge, although difficult, proved to be one of the most popular activities. Field day was definitely that one event of the year you wouldn’t want to ever miss!

World Languages By Patrick Fagan & Shane McKay

As students enter middle school, the one thing they are usually the most excited about, and the most scared about is learning another language.  Once they get settled into their Spanish or French classes,  however, their fears disappear.  So, exactly what is  going on in those classes?       

 In Spanish, students have been learning letters, numbers, months, days, and family member names. Every once in a while they also get to play the circle game. It’s where you say different words in Spanish, and in every fifth word you’re out.  It helps students learn words that are on their tests. They also got to  watch Rango with Spanish subtitles.

In French, students have been learning letters, numbers, months and days. Every Friday, kids bring in French foods to share.  So far they’ve had  chocolate éclairs and creampuffs. Students also have a lot of fun with worksheets. One time everyone even made their own connect-the-dots puzzle with French numbers.

So, as you can see, learning a new language is not scary at all.  It can be a lot of fun!

Science Measures Up By Adriana Bird

Right now, in sixth grade science, we are learning all about the metric system.  We have been using tools such as the  triple beam balance to find the mass, and graduated cylinders to find the volume.  We have also been learning about metric conversions.  Around Halloween time, sixth grade students had fun finding the mass, volume, and length of various Halloween related objects.  Also, we had the opportunity to work at stations where we had to measure many different objects to improve our skills. Even though  measurement is usually covered in math class, at TMS science really measures up!

Math Made Easy By Alia Higgins

        The sixth graders have just finished their division with decimals quizzes in math. It seems that  everyone tried their best and must have done very well. Thanks to the wonderful teaching of Mrs. Cox (Diamond Team) and Mr. Goldstone (Platinum Team) the students had nothing to worry about.  If anyone is having trouble with anything, the TMS math teachers are always willing to give extra help.  Then, during the quizzes, Mrs. Cox always remembers to put out a “Don’t forget to…” chart in the front of the room, as does Mr. Goldstone.  This is extra help for checking your work, with reminders to make sure that you didn’t make any copy errors, fact  mistakes, or other possible slip-ups.  Soon students will be facing another test which will include a review of   adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying decimals. Good luck everyone... not that you’ll need it!  

New York City Trip By Taylor Cratty

              On November 16, 2012, Tyrrell 6^th grade Project Explore students as well as Vive Voce students attended the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular in New York City. Many people thought the Rockettes were very impressive, and spectacular dancers!  The show also   include fantastic special effects enjoyed by the audience wearing 3-D glasses.  After the show everyone enjoyed going out to lunch.  Several groups of students enjoyed eating at a famous diner named Ellen’s Stardust Diner where the waiters and waitresses get up on tables and sing to you while you’re eating in hopes of one day  performing on Broadway.  After everyone ate, many groups went out shopping at places like the Hershey Store, the M&M store, and Godiva.  While in New York City, the students went to Rockefeller Center to see the enormous Christmas tree  being decorated, and the many people ice skating in front of it. After a fantastic and memorable day in New York City, the TMS students   sadly began their long ride home. 

DoJo is Watching!! By McKayla Lawlor

              On the Platinum Team, teachers use a behavior system called Class DoJo.  If students have good behavior, or if they are helping out a classmate in class, they earn points.  At the end of the quarter, if they have 200 points, they earn a reward.  The first quarter reward was getting to watch the movie called, “The Big Miracle”.  Everyone seemed to enjoy this touching film about three whales who had to get themselves out of the cold water before it froze over.  It was a great reward for everyone who earned it!  If you missed out...try to do better next quarter!

ICarly ...a TV review by Gillian Farina & Caitlin Frosolone

ICarly, is a show about two girls, Carly, played by Miranda Cosgrove, and Sam, played by Jennette McCurdy.  They perform a web show with their cameraman Freddie, played by Nathan Kress, and do funny skits together.  Unfortunately, this great show has finally come to an end, with such a sad ending, it would surely make you cry. Carly ends up moving to Italy with her father. While we did not want the show to end, we thought the ending was full of suspense and wonder about the girls’ futures. It was very heartwarming, and it was definitely a good ending to the series.  So, even though TV just won’t be the same, its about time to regretfully say goodbye to ICarly.  :(

Breaking Dawn Part 2 ...a movie review by Spencer Miers

If you’re a fan of the Twilight Saga, then the last movie in the series will be of no disappointment to you! Bella, a newborn vampire, learns to cope with her newfound immortality, and also to keep her daughter Renesme safe from the hands of the Voltori. When the “family” discovers that they may be in trouble, they turn to their friends for help. There are many new and talented characters such as Denali Clan, The Romans, and the Nomads such as Peter and Charlotte.   Even though most of you have already read the book, every minute of Breaking Dawn is still exciting due to its terrific special effects.  This movie is definitely worth the trip to the movie theater and the price of a ticket!    It’s one you will not want to wait to see!

Unbroken … a music review by Spencer Miers

A comeback album for Demi, Unbroken is,   in my opinion, the best CD that Demi Lovato could possibly have made. Some people think that the CD is just like her old stuff, and that she didn’t really do  anything new. Well, I can assure you that they are wrong!  I find this CD to have a nice mix of songs.   Some of the songs, like “All Night Long” and “My Only Shorty” are lighthearted and fun. Other songs, like “Fix a Heart,” “For the Love of a Daughter”,  and “Skyscraper” are touching and sensitive, and really touch a person’s  heart.  These songs focus on subjects like abuse, insecurity, and even parent divorce.  Although a big step away from her previous music like the Camp Rock album and such, Demi’s new   album, Unbroken is definitely going to get you up and dancing... or at least singing along!   If you haven’t listened to this CD yet, I suggest you do.  You just might find that Demi Lovato is worth a listen.

The Running Dream ...a book review by Makayla Iarrapino

The Running Dream is a book about a girl named Jessica who was a record breaking runner until she lost her leg in a car accident. After the accident, she wants to give up on life, but she doesn’t.    After a lot of hard work, Jessica is finally able to walk again, but she is not happy with just  walking...she wants to run! Along the way she encounters new friends who make her realize that she is more than just a runner.  They help her realize her full potential, and they accept her for who she is. The turning point in the story happens when Jessica makes friends with Rosa, a girl who has cerebral palsy.  Rosa also dreams of running one day. She teaches Jessica about setting goals, working hard, and never giving up. To tell you the rest would be spoiling the story, but you can make a prediction of what happens next, or you can pick up a copy of this  great book.  It can be  enjoyed by readers of all ages because of its message of hope and perseverance.  I recommend  you read this book, and then pass it along to a friend.

TMS Girls Soccer By Taylor Riviezzo

The Tyrrell Girls Soccer Team had a great season with 7 wins and 4 losses. Our 8^th graders        including Megan Doubleday, Kayla Mayo, Sarah Begley, Michelina Gagliardi, Emma Gargano, Emily Cofrancesco, Morgan Mcginnis, Zoe Beckley, Kayleigh Blaszczyk, and Lexi Mulhall played a great last season. Michelina Gagliardi, Megan Doubleday, and Allison Gough all helped the team with their great goalie skills. Our top scorers were Kayla Mayo, Megan Doubleday, and Taylor Riviezzo. Awesome season girls!

TMS Cross Country By Regan Richard

               Tyrrell  Middle School had a very large and quite successful cross-country team this year. Under the training of Mr. Goldstone, many  practices and meets took place after school, contributing to the team’s success. We look  forward to next  season!

TMS Boys Soccer By Alex Hale

The Tyrrell Boys Soccer Team had an interesting season with a record of 1-11. Even though they only had one victory, most of the games were close with some missed opportunities. The season Capitan Brennan  Zynda, led the practices all season long. Aside from Brennan, the rest of the players were, Luke DiSapio, Jake Audibert, Ryan Audibert, Todd Parenti, Donavan Bianchi, Brandon Fillipone, Sean Cepelak, Kevin Quinn, Daniel DosSantos, Alex Martinez, Alex Hale, Cameron Gervase, El Min Redzepagic, Ergen  Desauliners, Jayden Frageau, Shane McKay, and Rick Paquin. But as everyone knows, a team is not possible without coaches. These two people were Mr. Terry and Mr. Kelsey. Hopefully, next year TMS will be more successful, and that this year’s players and coaches will come back next year!
