In the past, student contributions were welcomed, but Enesta was published by staff members. In an attempt to provide more leadership and writing opportunities, this year’s staff have instead founded The Journalism Club. Middle and high school students interested in researching and writing articles or designing art and photography for Enesta were invited to apply for a position on The Journalism Club. The Journalism Club students have been meeting weekly as well as working outside of school in order to create the publication you are reading now. Be sure to congratulate those students on their hard work and success at completing their first issue of the new Enesta. Any student still interested in joining The Journalism Club, or any community member wishing to make a literary contribution to the newsletter, should contact Ms. Adams at [email protected].

PEACE WEEKby Sua Kim

On the 21st of September, ‘Peace One Day,’ an international day held annually for global ceasefire, took place. Our school, Indianhead, has had a tradition of celebrating it through peace activities every day during that week. The SRC organized fun activities in order to promote peace; unfortunately, the student representatives efforts weren’t successful. The SRC organized a treasure hunt in which people had to find the treasures through a series of hints. Each floor had a “peace locker,” which could be opened by solving the combination of the lock attached to it through the collected hints. The series of hints were located at random places around the school and the answers to it were used to break open the lock. Even though the SRC stayed after school and worked extremely hard, the locks were found open on the following day. Because of this, all of their efforts turned out to be futile since the questions required to open the locker weren't used. Another event the SRC

planned was the Peace Wall. The large glass wall in the cafeteria was decorated as a tree, and the students could stick post-its on it to answer the question, “What is peace?” However, just like the treasure hunt, this event did not go as planned. It failed to do its job because students were not instructed about how the event worked and in the end, the glass wall was empty. Lastly, Peace Week ended with a non-uniform day, in which students were to wear blue and white, colors of peace, instead of their school uniforms. Fortunately, this resulted in a success. Most of the students wore peace colors and the school was unified. Next year, the SRC hopes to accomplish the task of promoting peace throughout the school more successfully.

On the 21st of September, ‘Peace

One Day,’ an international day held annually for global ceasefire,

took place.

WHO ARE THE MIDDLES SCHOOLERS?b y S e r i L e e

Hi! My name is Seri Lee and I’m in 7th grade. I would guess most of high school students don’t know me very well, but hopefully after reading this you will know me and the middle school a little better. I am writing about student life, and have interviewed three middle school students to learn more about how they view student life here at IIS. I conducted a group interview with three middle school students; Abby Choi (6th grade), Stella Kim (7th Grade), and Jane Han (8th Grade) to see how they felt about different aspects of IIS. Without further ado, here is what they had to say.

1. Seri: “Who is your favorite teacher?”

“Mr. Albaugh and Mr. Welter.”

2. Seri: “What is your favorite

subject?” “English, Science, and P.E. “

3. Seri: “What do you want to eat in the cafeteria?”

“Ice- Cream and roasted pork.”

4. S e r i : “ D o y o u l i k e t h e uniform, why or why not?”

“We don’t like the uniform because it’s not stylish, don’t want to wear it every day, and we don’t have any time to clean the uniform because most of times students wear the uniforms for more than two days. “

5. Seri: “What do you think of t h e M i d d l e S c h o o l s o c i a l

environment?” “We guess the relationship among

teachers and students are very good. Students respect teachers a lot and vice versa.”

A special thank you for all the help from the Middle School.

“We don’t like the uniform because it’s

not stylish, don’t want to wear it

every day, and we don’t have any time to clean the uniform

because most of times students wear

the uniforms for more than two

days.”

During this first quarter, there have

been a several interesting and creative assignments given to middle

school students. Here are some of

them:

In Art class, Ms. Stremick gave students a collaborative assignment

on technology and its advantages, as

well as its disadvantages. Students were each given a small square box

and a cardboard-like jigsaw piece. Then they were asked to color, stick,

sketch, paint, etc. on each side,

illustrating the theme of technology, as well as our own personal thoughts

or ideas.

Some students sketched computers

and brought a more visual side to their boxes. Others chose to create a

typography using words commonly

used in chat servers, such as LOL (laugh out loud) or TTYL (talk to

you later). All finished boxes and jigsaw puzzles were to be topped or

fitted together to create a gigantic

mass of ideas on technology.

Another interesting project going on in MS here in IIS is taking place in

Drama. In Drama class, Mr.

McAllister asked students to prepare their own productions on the topic

of bullying and the effects of bullying. Students got together and

collaborated ideas; they decided

should perform some aspects of

bullying as plays, but film one of the aspects: cyber bulling. This has been

a very good opportunity for students

to learn about responsibility as well as dramatic skills, since the students

are to do the whole production, while teachers remain only as guides.

Overall, student academic life in IIS is tough, but enjoyable. There are

exciting projects, as well as plenty of holidays to rest our brains after

weeks of work. Although students do

complain about homework and all the assignments, they get over it and

eventually find the assignments interesting after all.

DELICIOUS TRADITIONS: CHILI COOK-OFFb y K a t h r y n A d a m s

The arrival of Fall and cooler weather means more than just raking leaves, bringing out winter coats, and finalizing Quarter 1 grades. Among IIS teachers, with Fall comes the demand that certain traditions be maintained: voting to turn on the heat, filling desk drawers with tea and hot chocolate, and discussing American football at the lunch table. This year, a new Fall tradition has begun: The Great IIS Chili Cook-off.

On October 26th, IIS teachers, who had long been boasting to each other about their superior cooking skills, came together in a battle of the bowls. Seven teachers submitted pots of chili, a Fall favorite in many cultures, for a taste test. After all teachers had a chance (or two, or three!) to sample each pot of chili, ballots were cast.

Four awards were handed out based on the anonymous votes of the teachers. Mr. A, who submitted a pot of chili that caught the eye (and nose!) as a favorite of Principal Ellis, used unique ingredients, earning him the award for most creativity in cooking chili. Ms. Adams presented the only meatless chili dish, earning an easy victory in the category for “Best Vegetarian Chili.” The big winner of the event, however, was Mr. Syverson, who

walked away with two awards at the end of the night: “Spiciest Chili” and “Best Chili Overall.”

Although only four official awards were handed out, the real proof was in the pots: at the end of the night, not one had more than a spoonful of that scrumptious stew we call chili left behind.

TYSHONDA'S TEACHER TELL-ALLb y T y s h o n d a D a v i s

I took it upon myself to get to know the teachers of IIS so that my fellow classmates can get to know about their teachers’ high school experiences. My first victim was Ms. Boyle. Ms. Boyle is the 9th and 10th grade English Language Arts (ELA) teacher. I tried to extract juicy details from her, but she didn't reveal too many. Anyway, here is a bit of new information about Ms. Boyle and her high school life:

Teacher: Natasha Boyle (9th and 10th grade ELA)

Attended school: The school she went to was called #15. She went to a school in Ukraine and they apparently named their schools in numbers back then.

Years attended: (1992-1995) She graduated in 1995 and there were 92 graduating seniors in her class.

Favorite Subject: Ms. Boyle’s favorite subject while she was in school

was English (the subject she teaches now) and Russian Literature. She also enjoyed Biology.

Extra-Curricular Activities: Ms. Boyle was in the drama club and was the “leader,” or narrator, of one of the plays that they did, Pushkin.

Popularity: Ms. Boyle’s reputation as far as having boyfriends was that she was always approached first! She was also well known in and around her school. However, she says that she wasn’t popular. It was just that her school was small, like ours, so everyone knew each other.

Trends: Apparently, a trend back then was that everyone in Ukraine named their daughters Natasha. So Ms. Boyle had a lot of friends with the same name!

That’s all there is about Ms. Boyle in this interview. It is always fascinating to find more about the lives of the teachers around us. By the way, if you have more questions about Ms. Boyle’s high school life, don’t hesitate to ask her!

My first victim was Ms. Boyle. Ms.

Boyle is the 9th and 10th grade English

Language Arts (ELA) teacher.

5 SAT VOCABULARY WORDS FROM WORD SMART II

BY JINNY JANG

PAGE 9ACADEMIC TIPS

Is this our ENESTA mascot?Happy B-day Katereana Kim!

Find your way of studying using these tips so you can have more success:

1. Study in a place where you feel comfortable. The environment in which you study determines whether you can study with comfort or distraction.

2. Study in the afternoon. According to what smart students say, studying at afternoon is a good time to study because that is when your brain function works faster so you can concentrate easily.

3. Never listen to loud music or watch TV during study time. Listening to loud music or watching TV and studying at the same time won’t put a smile on your face after you see your final grades. When studying, close the door and try hard to make your room quiet. If you still can’t concentrate, try turning classical or calming music on.

4. Review all of the subjects in one day. Instead of setting a plan when to study one subject each day, it is much more effective if you study the all subjects in short terms just like we study four whole subjects in one day. (I personally disagree with this. Cramming never works except for rare instances, such as preparing for AP Psychology Exam.

5. Take a break when you feel like it. If you don’t feel like studying, stop and take a break. Forcing yourself to study won’t help you because you won’t concentrate and will not make any progress.

As you can see, there are lots of ways to study better. These methods all depend on what fits you best. Next time when you sit down to study, recall these tips and you’ll become a smarter student!

STUDY TIPSB y R e m y K w o n a n d S c o t t C h o i

Have you ever studied so hard that your eyes got swollen and red, but you still didn’t get the grade you expected? If you have, you should try these magnificent study tips to bring your grades soaring through the sky.

When you are studying it is best to set a specific time to study. Most students try to fit their studying time somewhere during the day, but they usually end up accomplishing nothing. Instead, you can choose a specific time, for example from 5 p.m to7p.m. When you have chosen a time, it is important that you get in the habit of studying during that time. Also, when studying, it is best to study in a focused mind, even if it’s only 10 minutes. This method is more efficient than studying in a drowsy mind for 10 hours.

There are other important things that can effect studying such as your emotional state. What this means is that when you feel gloomy, frustrated, annoyed, or tired, you should take a nap or relax rather than study. You may have heard that when you are young your brain is just like a sponge and absorbs what you learn. Although that may be true, your stress may inhibit your brain from taking in knowledge, making it is harder to absorb information. By relaxing, the sponge will soften.

Interview with the Coaches

http://iis.or.kr

http://iis.or.kr


This is LaMonika Davis coming to you with some of the game plays of this season's volleyball teams from this very school. Wow, this years Volleyball teams were great! The girls were awesome and seemed to fear no other team because they knew they could win against anyone. The boys had powerful players on the team that could spike the ball from a mile away, they were just that good. Now, let me bring you the scoop and the dirt on how the teams did and how they felt at the end-of-season tournament.

The girls team was undefeated in the beginning of the season and the boys were the same way - nobody could stop them! The girls won a total of seven games out of ten games played. The boys had the same record - I think the boys wanted to be just like the girls...ha ha!

From viewing the games played at the tournament on Friday, I felt that all the girls were great. During the first game played the first set was their best set ever. The girls were playing as hard as they had ever played. After the first set they seemed a bit down and I couldn't understand why because they had just won the set before by four points. All I can say is that they let their attitudes and their emotions get the best of them for the next few sets. The outcome of their emotions and attitudes caused them to loss the game.

I asked a few of the girls, If they were confident before the game started. Cece Patterson told me, "Yes, but I lost confidence on the second set." Sara Choi felt just the opposite. She said, "No, I was nerveous, but first set was great after I'd lost a little confidence." Kris Park felt a little confident, but "after the first set it was a disaster."

Now on Saturday the girls were still good and they still played as hard as they could. The game was long this day because the girls played all five sets. A few time they were up by about two points or more, and during the fourth set they won with a score of 28 to 26. The girls really fought for the win and won two more sets. They came really close to wining the 5th set but it just didn't work out.

Again I asked a few different girls if they were confident before the game started. Alikia, Amber, and I were all happy

and playing around before the game. Says Amber, "Yea, I thought we were going to win. Even when we were about to lose, I still thought we could win." Way to go Amber! That's the way to keep the faith and hope in your team.

I couldn't be at the boys' games because I'm on the girls' team, so I had some reporting help from Joseph Han.

From the spectator's perspective, the team looked very nervous before the game. As the game started, they were doing worse than the other games that they had played before. Mr. A told them that "they shouldn’t have any pressure and just enjoy the game" because no matter what they were second place in the conference. Even though the coach said that, the team didn't look so confident. Some of the team members were saying that they were going to lose, but I (Joseph Han) told them, "Play with all the confidence in the world, because at least trying is better than doing nothing." I think we needed a crowd to cheer for the team, but because we did’t have the people to cheer us on, I felt that our team might have felt like they were in the middle of nowhere. As the game began, our team was doing really poorly because of the different environment. The first set was just not right because I knew our team could do better. In the second set, our team looked more confident, but we were still losing. The good part was that I was seeing improvements from the first set so I was a little less worried. Our team lost all sets on the first day of the tournament, but I had a vision that our team might win some games in the Saturday tournament.

Hearing from some of the players on the boys' team, we could see that the team played WAY better on Saturday, and

Maecenas pulvinar sagittis enim. Rhoncus tempor placerat.

For all of you who know Mrs.A, you know what a spectacular coach she is. She is always looking out for others and has everyone’s best interest in mind. She is full of spirit and enthusiasm. Her motivation makes you to do your best and never give up, whether it is on or off the court. She is always there to talk to no matter what the situation is. This is why I regret to say this volleyball season is the last season she will be coaching. So the lady wolverines would like to thanks Mrs. A for the entire great job she has done for our school and team.Thank you Mrs.A!!
