Show our school your talent!
Every year, our PTA team has
a talent show, where students
get to show their talents. This
year more than 20 acts were
performed. The participants
could either do an individual or
a group act. The performers
were required to be at school
by 5:45 P.M on the day of the
show. The time limit of each
performance could be no long-
er than three minutes, and it
was mandatory for the students
to bring their own music,
props, etc. This event took
place on December 15th from
6 to 8pm, in the elementary
cafeteria. Auditions were
held on November 16th, 17th,
and 19th from 3:15 to 4:30
p.m. Kayra Yuzbasioglu stat-
ed, “At first, I was nervous,
but when I got on stage it was
a really fun experience and I
would love to do it again”.
The purpose of this event was
for Bobcat students to have
fun and showcase their talent.
There was no charge to watch
or participate in the show;
however, pizza and water
were sold. The adults in
charge of this year’s talent

On Tuesday, January 5th
2016, a very special guest,
Marcel Santos, visited our
school with a special
presentation. Marcel San-
tos is Mrs. Vidal Santos’
son. He attended the Art
Center College of Design
in California. He is an in-
dustrial and concept pro-
duction designer artist. So
far, Marcel has been doing
this for five and a half
years. He has worked for
Disney Interactive, Walt
Disney Imagineering,
Marvel, Aerospace, Lucas
Films, Hasbro, Walt Dis-
ney, and Honda. Marcel
recently worked on the
new Star Wars movie,
“Star Wars: The Force
Awakens.” Marcel says
that working on the movie
was very humbling and
nerve racking because he
had to please many fans.
Marcel has worked on
other movies such as Iron
Man 3, Captain America
2, and Guardians of the
Galaxy, but he said Star
Wars Episode 7 was the
best movie he’s worked
on. Marcel loves what he
does and can’t wait to
help create more movies.

which included pizza and
drinks. The DJ was the 8th
grade math teacher named
Mr. Giordano, better known
as Mr. G. The best part of the
dance for Maxine Hyland
was when the beat dropped
in the dubstep songs. There
were many remixes played at
this dance. So far, this has
been the second middle
school dance of the year.
Everyone considered this
The middle school dance
was an amazing event and
it occurred in the elemen-
tary cafeteria. It was from
3:15 to 5:30 on Friday,
December 4th. There was a
discriminate amount of 8th
graders and some 7th grad-
ers, but most of the dancers
were 6th graders. The dance
had a backdrop to take
pictures, a DJ, black and
white lights, and food
dance to be the best dance

took place from the 7th of
December all the way to the
11th. “Art Week” is an
event that happens every
year at our school. The lead-
er of the event is April
Pullo. April helped to make
this week possible. To enter
“Art Week”, people had to
pay a fee of 10 dollars. Art
Basel stages high end art
projects and the most popu-
lar Art Basel shows are in
Miami Beach and Hong
Kong. ”Stay artistic!”
It’s an Artsy Week! Have you ever wondered
what “Art Week” is? Art
week is an event where
you make decorations such
as pop art, super hero
walls, and media center
walls. These projects can
be seen at Art Basel and
they work together to make
this experience unforgetta-
ble. The grades that partici-
pated were second through
eigth grade. “Art Week”
was held throughout the
entire school. This event

Every Christmas our school
holds a toy drive where toys
are donated to children that
don’t have the chance to
spend the holidays at home
with their families. This year
the toys that were collected
were donated to The Mystic
Force Foundation. This foun-
dation was created by Silvia
and her husband, Dr. Steven
Vanni to help raise money
and awareness to fund re-
search for childhood cancer.
On Christmas day, the toys
were given to the children
that were ill with cancer. The
reason our school holds this
toy drive every year is to
make children happy on
Christmas morning. Both
counselors, Mrs. Deleon and
Mrs. Cuenca, were in charge
of the toy drive. Mrs. Cuen-
ca and Mrs. Deleon would
like to thank all the students,
families, parents and teach-
ers that helped make this toy
drive a success.

Superhero Award
Did You Know?
Every year, our school partic-
ipates in “Jump Rope for
Heart” and “Hoops for
Heart.” Both events took
place in the basketball court
on December 14th and 15th
of 2015. Second through fifth
grade were able to participate
in “Jump Rope for Heart”,
while all of middle school
students participated in
“Hoops for Heart”. Students
were encouraged to raise a
goal of $20,000. All the mon-
ey that is raised goes to good
laying down. Don’t do hard
exercises, but just a few
light ones, or ones that make
you tired. Before lying down
you want to make sure that you lie down in a comforta-
ble environment, free of
mess. Another way of not
oversleeping is to ask your
parents to wake you up ear-
ly. This can be done in many
ways such as splashing wa-
ter on you, make loud noises
or simply just shake you
awake. There a few things
you should avoid like setting
your alarm too early or too
late. These are just a few
ways of not over sleeping.
That’s it for this Dear Alicia! If you want your questions
answered, drop them off in
room 265.
P.T.A. print enough year-book covers for the students. The grades that participated the most were kindergarten through 3rd grade. After all the votes were collected, our parents: Carolina Luczkow, Olga Vida, and Juliana Ar-raras volunteered to count the votes. They love helping our school out. The winning cover was extremely colorful. We can't wait to see how the yearbook will turn out!
And the Yearbook Cover is... Every year at our school there is an event that the stu-dents get the chance to vote for a yearbook cover. This year about an estimate of 100 students participated. There was six cover choices to choose from. Dr. Rodriguez, Mrs. DeLeon, and Carolina Luczkow were the ones who chose the covers. The stu-dents had to pay $1 in order to vote. All the funds raised went to the company "Jostens," to make the cover. The money raised helps the

Dear Alicia Welcome to Dear Alicia
our first question is: How
do you not over sleep?
One way of doing this is to
set an alarm. This may
seem easy but you want to
make sure you set your
alarm at an appropriate
time that suits you best.
Another way to handle this is going to sleep early. This
is hard for most people to
do, so here are a few sug-
gestions: exercise before
cause, The American Heart
Association. Our school holds
this event to help raise money
for people fighting heart dis-
ease. All second through fifth
graders were allowed to par-
ticipate if they raised any
amount of money. Students in
middle school were required
to raise at least $1 to partici-
pate. Activities that took
place were hula-hooping,
basketball, and jump rope.
Overall the students had fun,
even though the field was
under construction.
