The next thing stu-
dents did was a sharpie color
experiment. This experiment
reveals the secret colors hid-
den within a black sharpie.
For this experiment, heavy
white tissue paper, a
sharpie, a cup, a pencil, and
water were used. First stu-
dents drew a line on the pa-
per and then drew a dot on
the line with a sharpie. Fi-
nally, they dipped the paper
in the water and watched as
new and unexpected colors
appeared.
When the 6th grade
students went to Lamar
University, they visited four
different departments:
math, physics, geology, and
chemistry. While at the
chemistry department, they
did two different activities
both of which were focused
on colors.
One experiment was
called color-changing milk.
The color of the milk
changes as the name indi-
cates, but because it is slow
spreading, a cool effect was
created. The materials used
were milk, a plate, food col-
oring, dish soap, and cotton
swabs. First students
poured milk into a plate
and added one drop of food
color. Then they dipped a
cotton swab into the dish-
washing soap and touched
the milk with the tip of the
swab. Immediately the color
radiated away from the cot-
ton swab. It was beautiful!

PNMS wel-
comes our new Assis-
tant Principal, Coach
Richardson. He is the
former football coach
and science teacher
at PN-G high school.
Let’s take a look at
his interview.
Do you like work-
ing at our school?
Coach Richardson: I
couldn’t be happier
than I am at PNMS.
We have the hardest
working teachers and
staff, and our stu-
dents have a great
attitude and give
their best effort in
everything. This is
the place I felt
would be like home
to me.
We think Coach
Richardson is abso-
lutely correct, don’t
you?
What did you
coach specifically
in football?
Coach: I was the
head freshmen
coach and defensive
coordinator, and I
coached linebackers.
My record as head
freshmen coach was
19 wins and 1 loss. I
had the hardest
working athletes in
the state of Texas.
Wow, that must
have been a handful
to coach!
What is your fa-
vorite memory of
PNMS so far?
Lamar Physics Physics is the science of
"why things work." At Lamar,
we found out that the typical
undergraduate physics stu-
dent is working toward an en-
gineering, mathematics or
computer science degree.
Physics includes me-
chanics, heat, light and other
radiation, sound, electricity,
magnetism, and the structure
of atoms.
couldn’t check the grades of
their kids.
As soon as the viruses
were gone, the teachers
checked their computers to
find a great surprise. Some of
the files on their desktops
were gone. A truly catastro-
phic incident indeed!
My favorite part of the
field trip was the math club.
The topics were very interest-
ing and made your brain think
on how it all worked.
We learned that M. C.
Escher made some of the most
iconic paintings in the 20th
century like Day and Night, a
painting in black and white
that uses symmetry to confuse
you and draw you in.
We also focused on the
4 color theorem. We colored a
map of the United States and
the McGregor Map. My group
and I completed the United
States map, but the McGregor
was too difficult for us.
The 6th grade PNMS
students have recently taken a
field trip to Lamar University
(LU) for educational purposes
and had a good time (at least I
did). Anyway, my main focus
in this article is the geology
department. The presenters
let us hold minerals such as
amethyst, fossils, etc. They
also talked about volcanoes
and fissures. It was a cool
visit, and I would definitely go
again, as would many others!

Catastrophe! By Zander Frost
On the week of Novem-
ber 12, our internet capabili-
ties and skyward were shot.
Teachers and students alike
were mad indeed, for the
teachers couldn’t make lesson
plans or record grades, and
the students couldn’t research
topics without fear of dooming
the computers with an unholy
virus. The parents were even
more scared for they
Coach: I feel very blessed to be
your principal, so I will be
here as long as y’all let me.
Speaking for all of our staff
and students, we hope Coach
Richardson stays here as long
as he can, and he will always
be welcomed at PNMS.
behavior, so I got to visit class-
rooms and hang out with y’all.
What would you change
about PNMS?
Coach: I would wrap all you
kids up in bubble wrap to keep
you safe, and then double our
staff’s salary.
Tristan and I also like that
idea.
Were you scared coming
into the school in the mid-
dle of the year?
Coach: No. Everybody I work
with is the best at what they
do. Everywhere I lack experi-
ence my team makes up for
me.
Would you consider becom-
ing a principal of another
school like our last assis-
tant principal, Dr. Bryan?

New Computers!! By Baylee Curbow and Court-
ney Cobb
Some kids wanted a
phone or a Nintendo Switch
for Christmas, but if you’re a
6th grader at PNMS, you were
hoping and praying for new
computers on your desk!
The current computers
glitch out, don’t save, and
sometimes don’t even log you
on correctly. How can we sixth
graders do our work or check
our grades if they die? The
battery life goes down in five
minutes.
We NEED new com-
puters! Please consider it?

The day was really fun and got
everyone in the Christmas
spirit.
Why should you put a calen-
dar in the freezer?
To start off the new year in a
cool way.
Which moves faster on New
Year’s Eve, HEAT or COLD?
Heat. It’s so easy to catch a
cold!

ents for Christmas?
