FRENCH ELECTIONS NEAR International news
What is soon to come for France
by:Daniel Armendariz edited by Sean Eddings
Le Pen(left) and Macron (right)
As one of the most controversial
french elections near to a close this
week with both candidates still going
strong.We should take the time to
know both candidates and what their
presidential goals are.
Starting off we have Emmanuel
Macron, the youngest in this race. He
described himself as neither left nor
right and still wants France to be in
the EU. Macron wants to modernize
the French government by
implementing new reforms.
Recently however the party had
received a huge blow due to recent
hackings possibly done by russian
hackers. Despite this however,this
Sunday Macron won 66.1% of the
French vote making him the youngest
president in the history of France.
The candidate on the opposition is
Marine Le Pen. Daughter to the former
president of the controversial National
Front,Jean Marie Le Pen. Le Pen was
also president of the NF since 2011
working to rebuild the history of the
group.
She is a nationalist and would prioritize
National interests and leaving the
eurozone. Her party will also focus on
security and immigration. She is
controversial for some of the laws she
proposed on religion when she would be
elected and how she wants to make
friendly ties with Russia. This could be
the reason for the recent hacks against
Macron. During the first round she
came in first place and it seemed like
she had a good lead until Sunday when
Macron won nearly 70% of the vote.

Nigerian Girls are Freed International news
82 Chibok girls from the town of Chibok Nigeria are freed after recent negotiations
By:Sean Eddings Edited by Daniel Armendariz
Recently, on May 6, the president
of Nigeria announced that
“negotiations to release more
Chibok girls yielded results.” After
three years, 82 of of the 276
Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko
Haram have been recently released
(others have been released earlier
than this particular group) . The
girls were released after lengthy
negotiations with Boko Haram,
then they decided to release 82
Chibok girls in exchange for some
Boko Haram suspects held by the
Nigerian authorities.
One mother of one of the
girls kidnapped by Boko
Haram said, “I am very,
very excited with this
development. I cannot even
sleep tonight.”.The girls are
currently being transported to
the Nigerian capital of Abuja
to meet with the president,
and to be reunited with their
families. Sadly though, over
100 Chibok girls still remain
with the Boko Haram
terrorist group and some may
have been sold to
neighboring African
countries as slaves.

later freed.

Both beginning and advanced band were
taught by Ms. Dunne who also guided them during
the concert. Mr. Fahrenbach taught chorus the
songs and was present in the concert as well. Both
bands, chorus, Ms. Smith’s class, and the music
teachers all put in effort to make sure the concert
was great.
Chloe Smith, who is part of Disney’s chorus
and sang in the concert, said, “Everyone in this
show worked really hard and it was amazing. I’m
so glad everything came together nicely and
resulted in an amazing show.” Disney’s spring
concert definitely lifted everyone’s spirits and made

Spring Maps Approach
How can you prepare?
In May of 2017, Spring Maps steadily approach at Walt
Disney Magnet School. The students at the school also take Fall
and Winter Maps which are extremely important for the sixth and
seventh graders.
The race for spots in early admission high schools is on and
the competition is tight. The requirements for some high schools,
they require a student to have at least a 90 percentile score.
For gifted students the score truly matters as anything lower
that a 90 percentile score will put you on probation. Continue to
decline and you will be kicked out of the program.
According to the teachers at Disney, the way you can
improve your Map score is to work in your target area on several
academic websites such as IXL and Prepdog.
These academic websites can help you with things in your
‘target area’, the area which you need a little help in. By knowing
what your ‘target area’ can truly help because you are then able
to work on things students know they need help with, which can
almost guarantee a higher Map score. Continued on Page 9

A student, who wished to remain anonymous
said,“The Map test is a pretty important part of the
year at Disney. However, I do find that what my
teacher said was right and that the only way you
can improve is to use study websites. Even though
stressful, the Maps aren't too bad now that I think
about it. I just wished the teachers would give us
at least an hour a week to go on these academic
websites that could help us (students), a better
score which is what we all want.”
Teachers also recommend that students rest
well and eat a good breakfast the day before.
So good luck and take your time on the test!

Disney Performs Spring Concert Starting Spring Off with Music
By Bushra Lat
On Wednesday, May 10, 2017, Walt Disney Magnet
School’s very own chorus, band, and music teachers put
together a spring concert in the school’s CAC. Disney
has a winter and spring concert every year to celebrate
the season, however this year’s spring concert was
special because many of the performances were
dedicated to Mrs. Francine who worked at the school
but, unfortunately, recently passed away.
The concert started with beginner’s band playing
songs on instruments such as the trumpet, flute, and
xylophone. After that Ms. Smith’s class performed a
dance dedicated to Mrs. Francine. Then advanced band
played some songs. Finally, chorus sang a few songs
such as “To Get it Right”, “Lava”, “Huntos”, and “Hello
Goodbye”. The song Lava was also dedicated to Mrs.
Francine.

Students signing petition
Disney Student Takes Charge
Petition Made By:Ianece Coleman
As Walt Disney tightens the rules and restrictions on what’s allowed at school more and more students are finding the new rules pointless and one student took charge in trying to get the rules repealed. Abike Sholeye, a 7th grader in class 311, created a petition on Monday May 8, 2017. She walked around the lunchroom and got signatures from her peers and ended up with a total of 11 signatures, including her own, and plans on getting many more. On Monday I asked Abike why she felt the need
Continued on pg.12
to create a petition and she said “ I created this petition because these new rules are stupid. Fidget spinners and water bottle flipping are kind of understandable but the actual drinking of water being banned is absolutely ridiculous!” This petition is slowing but surely gaining popularity it is just a matter of time before it goes from the third floor to the entire school.
Disney Times 5/11/17
Eventually this petition will make it’s way to the head of the school, to Dr.Hagstrom.

School Lunch Items Are Bad? By:Shiloh Chatham
Are School lunch items really that
bad at disney? Today we will be
looking at the cps “Three Cheese
Wraps”. Many people have said bad
things about the Three Cheese Wraps
but they are actually pretty healthy.
They don’t have a very high fat
percentage, and not very high in
calories.
Overall the fruits can be better.The
coolers that they put them in are
efficient. Although the fruits aren’t
very well kept. Students say that
whenever they get the apple slices,
they are soggy and old. The grapes
are also squishy, oranges are fine,
apples are fine and bananas are as
well.
What did a few students think about
the food,”i think the fruit is kept in
bad conditions with water to keep it
the way it should be and not drying
out so all you end up getting from the
fruit is water.” Which is what Joelie
Simkins said when I asked about the
fruit. “And the pears I have seen that
look like they have fallen of the back
of a truck.” Said by Sophia in reply
of the same question. As you can see,
not many students like the food
choices. Allison said this to add,”ohh
the apple slices are soggy and they
like fall apart”. So the fruit is not
very firm and the lunch is actually
not that unhealthy.

Disney Concert Kicks Off Spring!
On Wednesday, May 10, 2017, a dedicated group of Disney students gathered in the Disney CAC to put on a breathtaking show. The concert started at precisely 9:30 am. Gathered were singers, dancers, and beginning and advanced level musicians. The incredible chorus is led by Mr. Fahrenbach, Disney’s music technology teacher. Both advanced and beginning bands are led by Ms. Dunne, Disney’s music teacher. The second grade dancers are led by the Disney dance teacher, Ms. Smith.
Kicking off the fabulous show was beginning band, playing a variety of classic medleys such as Twinkle Twinkle. These are students with little to no experience, so just getting them to play a note is incredible. But they did so much more than just play a note, they were able to come out with entire pieces. If these students choose to participate in band next year, they will be moved to advanced band where they will be given much more of a challenge.
Following we had the advanced band with members with over one year of experience. They played music from around the world, delighting us with multiple songs. Next we had Ms. Smith’s second graders dancing to contemporary music. To wrap up this fabulous spring concert the chorus dazzled us with songs from Glee, Inside Out, and songs of other cultures. Student Ilma Sarajlic says, “It was very entertaining to hear!” All in all the spring concert was absolutely fabulous, a true representation of the talent at Disney.

extremely hard to get into their choice of
high school. This is only a portion of what
they will be talking about. The sixth

Field Day a special day dedicated to
relaxation and fun until students hear that
they may not have this day at all! Disney
students in pod 310 recently found out that
they may have to give up field day for a
field trip. No fear some new news brought
to light will assure you that the
administration has been doing something
about it. As soon as the news was delivered
,class 311 started to stir wondering if we
would have to chose or would we get both.
Well recent reports from teacher Ms.Herceg
has given us a clue as to what will come.
It looks like the third floor staff is
trying to reschedule our field day. This
means we will end up getting both. Now we
have even more things to look forward to a
field trip and a field day. This is not for
sure though so I know pod 310 will be
keeping our fingers crossed as we continue
to wait for more news to roll in. Until
then it looks like this conundrum will
result in a happing ending for everyone.

Amin says “We are fighting terrorism and

Trump’s New Travel Ban- Heard 5/8/17 By: Aisya Jennrich, Chloe Smith, Lucy Coulter, and Daniel Butz
Whether its because of
religion, or because of
racial discrimination,
Trump has decided to
create a discriminatory
executive ban in 2017.
This new executive order
only applies to
foreigners without a valid
visa. The U.S
administration claims
this is not a Muslim ban,
but protesters strongly
disagree. Challengers to
the law state that Trump
has taken his executive
win too extreme with
banning nearly entire
countries.
This new ban contains central
elements of the old one Trump
tried to pass, cutting the
number of how many refugees
can come into the U.S. This
executive order blocks citizens
of seven predominant Muslim
countries from entering the
U.S.

the stronger lead at the start of the game because of

Teachers may inform you about the lives of other people, but
do they ever teach you about their own?
Today we talked with Mrs. Papadakis on her views of her job.
We asked specifically why she chose this job. She said that she
chose this profession for “June, July, and August”, in other words,
summers off!
Of course, there must be something else that makes her
inclined to teach. She told us that her favorite part of her job was
figuring out different ways to educate us, as technology changes
and the years advance.
Mrs. Papadakis’ famous cup of
Dunkin Donuts coffee, needed every
morning so she has the energy to teach.
“There’s more than one solution to a problem.”
What we’re learning now:
- We are learning about Anne
Frank’s Diary
- We are learning about Hamilton
and Jefferson’s opposing sides
M
We all hate paperwork, and Mrs. Papadakis is no
exception. It can take away time that she would rather spend
teaching her students. And even after retirement, aside from
traveling, she intends to keep enriching young minds and
tutor children.
Wendy Ng. This is the most exemplary student that she
has had. “Drase and I loved that girl,” she said.
She has told us that one thing that you should take away from
her class is that there is always more than one solution to a
problem. She never wants her students to give up.

Letters to the Editor regarding the ban of slime, water bottles, bottle flipping, and fidget spinners: Daniel Armendariz- “I personally think that this ban is just stupid so I 100% agree with your article. This is just a way for the school to ruin our lives even more! They have to kill everything that is fun for us because they can. What can we do? Nothing! We are taught to never challenge because it’s ‘rude’ but this ain't adding up here. They give the worst reasons like it isn't bad enough already. So what? They tell us we can't drink water, as if they don't care I am human, I need it to live! Punish me for being human, I don't care. Thank you for writing this article, I hope it raises awareness and actually starts something positive. Keep up the good work!”
It’s not like the teachers don’t enjoy these items, source Alondra Maya tells us a fifth-grade teacher was caught playing with a fidget spinner after taking it from a student.

Homework: Necessary or Not? Editorial by Maya Matusaitis
People think very differently when it comes to homework. Some people think it’s super important and necessary, and that we should get a ton each day. Others think it’s a waste of time, not necessary, and that it cuts into their afternoon schedule. What do I think? Personally, I think both. I think that we should get homework each day, but it should be a reasonable amount.
I think that getting homework each day is important and necessary. Homework helps you review what you learned that day, and can help you prepare for tests. For example, NWEA MAP tests are coming up. Lots of the things that we are learning in math and writing will be on our MAP tests, so it’s good to practice the topic everyday. Getting homework every day also lets us go over the topic again so we won’t forget it. Homework definitely helps us improve on the things that we learned that day, and getting a few questions on the topic each day isn’t too bad.
On the other hand, homework can be a waste of time. Sometimes we, students, get piles of homework everyday and can take us hours to
complete. At times the homework isn’t even on the topic that we learned that day, and is about some random topic we haven’t even learned yet!
Getting loads of homework each day can definitely take hours to do especially if we have activities after school. Instead of doing my homework
for an hour all at a time, I have to do some of it, go to my activity, then come home late with a few hours left to do. A few questions a day is okay,
but sometimes we get pages and pages, which is not necessary.
Letters to the Editor
Violet Webber, 773-000-000, [email protected]: I agree that we should get homework as long as it’s reasonable amounts. However, I don't think that we should have homework every night. I remember having nights that I have no homework which I think is beneficial but also nights that I am working until around midnight. We get pages in every subject, projects, busy work, and more.
As for unrelated homework, in fifth grade, we got a math. It was something none of us knew or understood and that parents hadn’t ever seen. Some of us tried to tell our teacher and she said: “Do it and stop arguing”. We did the sheet and she said we should've done it “her way” instead. I ended up getting a C after three tries. Teachers should give homework that is understandable and beneficial.
I understand the need for homework since it helps us review subjects, but if we don't finish classwork, we shouldn't have it for homework. Some teachers give assignments with no purpose such as things we color and put together. I understand these as optional study tools, but as homework?
On top of homework, we get projects. These projects are done as homework since we don't get class time. We are expected to put hours into these projects, but when it's one a.m., I’m not doing that. Some of these projects don't even help us understand the curriculum we are learning.
Overall I just think we should have a couple assignments a night that will help us learn.
