Seafood and a Good Story
By Sarah Novak and Jennifer Luu
Seafood was served on March 12, but not for school lunch. It was part of the monthly Journalism book club held by Ms. Diacomanolis. Ms. “D” brought fish and shrimp because it was the kind of food Charlotte had to eat during her trip. Who’s Charlotte? She’s the main character in the novel The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by AVI. This book includes a lot of suspense, action, and adventure from the second Charlotte boards the ship, the Seahawk.
In the book, Charlotte Doyle had to take a ship to Providence, Rhode Island from Liverpool, England. Everyone runs away from the ship at the sight and Charlotte gets second thoughts. But she doesn’t have any choice. She becomes friends with the captain but when he betrays her, she decides to side with the crew who want to get revenge on the captain.
This is a great book and I would definitely recommend it. It’s good for teen-agers because Charlotte is 13. Chante Spence of class 820 says, “I think it was historical but (a bit) inaccurate and it could have done a better job.” Theodora of class 820 says, “I love the book. I own it so that should say enough.”
If you are interested in joining the book club, we are now reading is The Secret Life of Bees. For the date of the book club, talk to Ms. Diacomanolis.

IS 49 Hosts Career Day
By Hawa Barbar & Aaleiyah Kennedy
On March 20, the eighth graders of I.S. 49 were welcomed to a Career Day. We were first asked to “dress for success” and students (and teachers!) really looked their best. What we didn’t know was that there were a lot of representatives from every day jobs already waiting to meet us at the fair.
Downstairs in the gym there were many people representing their careers from police officers and firemen to lawyers and reporters. We met up with a very important person and thought it will be very nice to interview her; she is Miss New Jersey.
Miss New Jersey, Amy Polumbo, was excited as we walked over to greet her. She asked us for our names and the interview began. We asked her multiple questions and she answered each one with enthusiasm.
We asked her what she thought about career day at I.S. 49 and she said, “I think it is a wonderful opportunity for the eighth graders to talk to all different people in all different kind of careers”.
She also told us what the Miss America pageant is all about. “Miss America is a Scholarship organization.” When she was little she never thought of being Miss New Jersey. She ended up winning at her very first try.
As well as her interviews, she gave us all great advice when signing autographs. Her signature autograph comment states, “Best wishes. Always be true to you.”
After speaking with Ms. Polumbo we walked around the rest of the gym. We talked to members of the Curtis Nursing Program, Officer Pamela Smith of the NYC Police Dept, the NYC Fire Department and the city Sanitation Department.
I.S. 49 Alumni Malombe Toure, who is a Curtis High School Nursing students, was also at the fair, as well as and a writer from the Daily News. For Class 820, reporter Bill Farrell was a favorite at the fair since we had the pleasure of meeting him at the Dakota Diner at the Daily New s Breakfast Club meeting in November.
In the end we really didn’t wanted to leave, because we were getting so much information from these people about careers and how they started up their own career.
We received many pamphlets and in formation about different careers. Many of us left the fair having a better idea of what we wanted to be when we grow up. It was a great success to have that experience and we’re hoping to have that again. We can’t wait to Dress for Success in the near future.

Top 10 Fashion Tips at I.S 49
By Candace Eugene and Hawa Barbra
Some people think that I.S 49 is an ok Junior high school. But the kids at 49 think it’s a great school. The latest fashion at 49 is,
Skinny jeans, Colorful sneakers, Beaded necklaces, and etc. Here are some top 10 fashion tips from 49 students.
1) the most popular thing students wear at I.S 49 are skinny jeans. Skinny jeans were very popular back then and still popular today. The students wear skinny jeans with nice slender boots, or with a dress shirt, that gives the effect of someone’s long luscious legs.
2) Another popular thing at 49 is the sneakers. Sneakers are very fashionable. Many kids wear dunks, Nikes and more. Those sneakers give the effect of the kid’s neon colored shirts and more.
3) Cell phones are a very trendy thing at 49. SIDEKICKS, IPHONE, ETC. TO be able to have nice sneakers nice jeans and colorful shirts, you have to have the new thing around, cell phones. IN order to look nice and reasonable, we all need cell phones just to make it the right fit.
4) Necklaces and beaded bracelets are the new hit right now. To have the finishing touches on a perfect matching outfit you need some accessories. Beaded necklaces and hoped earring brings out the best in someone’s personality.
5) Sunglasses. Some students/ teachers wear fashionable dolce and cabbana glasses or some people just use plain 99c store sunglasses. But it doesn’t matter if the glasses are cheap or not. What really matters is, does it fit your face right, does it break easily, or does it just make you look like a bug. Some kids have the face for certain glasses, and others don’t. THAT’S LIFE. But the real way to wear glasses is to have every thing looking nice. jeans, boots, sneakers, and accessories. Then to the very end, BAMM! The sunglasses make you look totally hot.
6) Leggings. Leggings are apart of the fall thing. When students just want to be lay back and not really in that mood for playing dress up, they usually just slip on pair of leggings and a very lose shirt to make it into a beautiful scenery so that everyone still likes what she wears.
7) BOOTS. Boots are the winter thing for students or teachers.
Kids normally wear boots when it’s like totally cold or what’s in the new fashion magazine.
8) Nails. Nails are girl’s best things to talk about. Every girl likes getting tips or getting there nails done. A nail gives the effect of the girls perfect and neat nail buds. Students normally wear nails for special occasions or just like getting pampered at the nail salon.
9) Hair. I personally know at 49, Students and teachers love to get their hair done. Getting your hair done makes you feel good and excited about your new look. This effect will definitely be the finishing touches on someone. To look over the top, that priority has to be done.
10) The last and not the least thing that makes you look fabulous, is having a nice fragrance or lotion, so when you are wearing your beautiful clothes, you don’t stink like a pack mule.

Letter to Soldier
By Musu Kamara
Dear Soldier,
SALUTATIONS to you. How are you doing? This is MUSU KAMARA, from the BERTA A. DREYFUS INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL. I am in 7TH Grade. Even though I’m very little, I’m not too little to understand what you are doing for the people and the United States. It’s a terrific thing you’re doing.
I understand that you left your family and your home and everything you love just to keep our country safe. You are thought about every day. We care about your safety, especially people like me who came from another country—running away from poverty and war. We came here to start a new life. And we know that we are also safe from any terrorists because we realize that people like you care about us. You risk your life for us.
That’s what I call a phenomenal person.
Trust in the Lord and keep up hope that everything will be alright. Have a wonderful, joyful and hopeful Valentine’s Day. May this day be a blessing unto you that you will come back from war safe and unharmed. I will greatly appreciate it if you write me back on the address posted on top of this letter.
Sincerely,
Musu Kamara

Letter to Veteran
By Tyesha Toro
Dear Veteran,
My name is Tyesha Toro. I am a 12-year old girl who does not even know a lot about what you do. We get lots of education here and I bet you did too. Well I guess you are some brave soldier who is fighting for his country. I thank you for having the guts to go out in the battle field risking your life even though it is at stack. I thank you for being away from your family to do this even though you want to be with them on this day.
