Roscommon Middle Schoolers are dabbling into writing and interviews in their Journalism class led by teacher Amanda Laskey. Teachers voted and selected articles by Jayme Theobald and Lily Baelocher for this month’s ‘Faces of the future’.
How to behave in class
By Jayme Theobald – 6th
Here’s a quick guide to surviving (and thriving) in class.
What to bring? Pencils, charged Chromebook, water bottle, books, headphone, and a good attitude!
What to do? Stay seated, listen, raise your hand, be respectful, follow classroom rules and Buck expectations!
What not to do? Do not yell or scream, tip in your chair, blurt out answers, talk to friends while the teacher is talking, or mess around when you should be working!
What not to say? “6-7”, any “Italian brain rot”, “sigma”, or anything inappropriate or off topic internet phrases that don’t belong in school!
Welcoming Mr. Collins
By Lily Baerlocher – 6th
Let’s welcome our new secretary, Mr. Collins! His favorite foods are steak and fried chicken because they are easy to make, taste the same every time, and include lots of protein.
He also coaches at Kirtland Community College.
If he could live anywhere, it would be the Bahamas because the weather is nice year -round and there are endless things to do.
If he could wear anything forever, it would be Nike Tech because it is comfortable, versatile, and trendy.
The best part of his job so far has been training with Mrs. Burmeister, who knows the ins and outs of the job and is full of knowledge.
The staff and students who have helped him the most are Mrs. Burmeister, for her guidance and support, and Miss Maloney, who offered him the job and recognized his potential to help the school. The student who has helped him the most is Lily Baerlocher, since she does bus passes and announcements.
So far, Mr. Collins has not had any rough times. It has been a great learning experience, especially coming from Flint and working with a different population.
