Bullying is a widespread problem that can have both short and long term effects on anyone. It is aggressive behavior that continues to hurt others or oneself. Bullying is Anti Bullying Awareness by Jennifer Lewis caused by name calling (teasing), physically harming yourself or others, going online posting rude comments, and many other things. This can be prevented by defending yourself and others or telling an adult what is going on. PNMS is an anti bullying campus, and so are many other schools. Bullying is NEVER ok and should never be tolerated!

2 Page 2 OLD-SCHOOL HOMECOMING STORIES Best Sellers After asking Mr. Hooper about homecoming while he was still in high school, we managed to record a small tidbit of the joy the event brought. He began with, Back when I was in high school, all the kids went to homecoming. We all had dates, and we would go eat before the game. The principle continues, Then, we would go to the ball game and afterwards there was a dance. That s what we would all do. We all had a bunch of fun. Everyone still has a bunch of corsages and boutonnières. If you ask me, that sounds like a hoot! After Mr. Hooper s interview, we then decided to ask Dr. Brian about his experiences. The following is the response we received. One thing I remember about my senior year in high school was that while I wasn t on the football team, the football team that year went to state championship. I don t know if it was because of me being on my senior year or that we had an absolutely phenomenal football team that year, but that year it was so much more special than just your average homecoming.

PNMS rewarded the winning study hall class that raised the most donations with an ice cream party. This sweet treat made more students interested for this great cause. Port Neches Middle School is very blessed to have such great faculty and students that tried to help those in Florida! By Bella Bui The Garth House by Berkleigh Curtis On October 24 Garth House came to the PNMS Builders Club s meeting to inform us about their programs for children. The Garth House is a very welcoming place that offers counseling to victims of abuse. All of the people that work at the Garth House are volunteers, and the money they collect goes to- ward helping these abused children. Taffee is the Garth House dog. Garth house dogs are used to comfort the children. Taffee does numerous tricks that make the children smile. For example, she can pray, dance, and even catch her treats. When one of the Garth House cases goes to court, Taffee can go on the stand with the child and comfort him or her while testifying. This is what I learned about the Garth House, and I think if you get a chance to donate to their children s programs, you should.
