The Momilani ES Recycling Drive

By: Tera Cypriano

Reduce, reuse, recycle the three R’s. These are very important for the wellbeing of our planet, and our drive focuses on these three very important actions.

Do you use cans or plastic bottles? Do you know where some of them go? They go to the ocean or somewhere where it can cause harm to the wild life. Reusing, reducing, and recycling is very valuable to learn.These are very important actions to do for our planet. Our drive focuses on these three very necessary actions.

This year, Momilani’s MAD (Make a Difference) team have once again decided to do a Recycling Drive. Thursday, November 7, 2019, we took what normally people would have just trashed, and help organize the bottles/cans. As one of our MAD team members, Cate Tamasaka, said “I’m happy that Momilani has a Recycling Drive to help our planet to renew our supplies.”

Just as many articles have said “If we don’t take action and help recycle then soon our Earth will be ruined.” When we don't recycle, reduce, and reuse, we destroy Earth’s natural habitats and resources. As for right now, our earth cannot handle with the current rate of our destruction. By failing to reuse what we already have, we'll end up in a dreadful situation of running out of resources. Since the invention of plastic – from oil – it's gotten everywhere, overfilling landfills because it doesn't decay and filling the oceans with debris that harms and even kills marine life. This is one reason why the people of our Earth we must do everything in our power to save our Earth.

Since many people are lazy or don’t like to recycle, soon the amount of solid waste will practically double by the year 2025, up from 3.5 million tons per day to 6 million tons per day, before leveling off sometime after that year. This will be pretty horrible to our ecosystem. If we don’t recycle these plastic bottles or cans , it will become our reality.

This is why people of this great planet are doing what we can to help, and we hope you will help too. So, you can help by recycling all plastic bottles.

Next recycling drive will be on Jan. 9, 2020.

Thanksgiving

On Thursday, November 8th, 2019, people all across the US are going to give thanks, and stuff themselves until they barf

On Thursday, November twenty-eighth, 2019, people all across the US are going to give thanks, and stuff themselves until they barf. Yes, it’s Thanksgiving! Tens of thousands of people will be eating turkey and pumpkin pie to celebrate the pilgrims’ first successful feast, made by a friendship between the Native Americans and pilgrims.

Fun Fact: On October 3rd, 1863, Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday.

On Thursday, November twenty-eighth, 1621, 398 years ago, the pilgrims had a feast, the first time they had an opportunity to fill their stomachs. Why? They had knowledge of how to farm and grow things, because of the Native American’s help. A year before this, the pilgrims landed and didn’t know what to do. They had come from Britain on a ship called the Mayflower and were hungry and tired. Everything was unfamiliar, so the pilgrims didn’t know how to get food or water.

Fun Fact: Turkey wasn’t on the original Thanksgiving menu.

One year later, the Wampanoag, a Native American tribe, decided to help the pilgrims. A Native American man named Squanto acted as the interpreter and translator. They taught the Americans tips to survive, like how to smoke and dry native meats. Another tip they gave was how to plant corn, beans, and squash. The Native Americans fertilized the crops with fish, and used powdered tobacco as insect repellent. During the next months, the Pilgrims, working with the Native Americans flourished. They had a huge feast to celebrate and gave thanks to the Native Americans. Thanksgiving was created.

Fun Fact: There are 4 towns in America named Turkey. They are in Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and North Carolina.

Do you need some ideas to spruce up your Thanksgiving? You could...

• Make a thankful tree, and every day leading up the Thanksgiving, pin a paper to the tree. On the paper, write something you are thankful for.

• Want some Thanksgiving decorations? Click/tap here.

Since the pilgrims and Native Americans had their harvest feast, Thanksgiving has changed in a lot of ways. For instance, did you know that one of the first NFL games, between Princeton and Yale, was played Thanksgiving, 1920? So now, every year on Thanksgiving, an NFL game is played. But in many ways, it stays the same. People still stuff themselves and give thanks. This year, you might eat and play, but don’t forget to give thanks for all that you are given..

Costume Ball

Boo! Did I scare you? Well anyways, if you didn’t go to the Costume Ball, you should really come next year. We had a blast over there, and we all know that the costume ball most favorite is the haunted house!

Boo! Did I scare you? Anyways, if you didn’t go to the Costume Ball, you should really come next year. We had a blast over there, and we know you’ll have a blast too.

At this little spook festival, we had a spooky game known as the “Zombie Bean Bag Toss.” All the prizes were glowing and excited the young ones. The “Eyeball Drop” was really popular because everyone can do it and they gave out a light stick. Some other things that were there were “Wheel of Horrors”, a photo booth(that cost $1), and free ice cream from Kenny Tsuru, a sixth grader’s parents.

At the Costume Ball, we had our speakers playing music outside of the Cafeteria. These songs lead up to “ME!” by Taylor Swift(our song for this year), and some of the parents were helping the students learn the dances before this spooky night. At the parking lot outside of the cafeteria, kids were eating, talking, and just having a blast before it ended at 8:00pm.

On the left-side of the cafeteria was the location of the haunted house. Some 5th and 6th graders, who volunteered to help with the parents, spooked anyone who dared to crossover. The volunteers were split into two groups, one were the guides and the other were the people scaring. Both the students and parents had a great time(either scaring or being scared).

“In the Haunted House, the people working there did an amazing job scaring me”- Eva Romualdo.

“This is my last year at Momilani, and I’m proud of the Costume Ball and really wish to go again.” - Audery Shin.

So I hoped you enjoyed, and wish you all can come to Momilani’s Costume Ball next year.
