Top 5 Christmas Movies by Alyssa Johnson

Christmas is coming soon, so here are the top five Christmas movies you

should watch. One of the top five Christmas movies is the Santa Clause, which was

made in 1994 staring Tim Allen. The next movie, which is my favorite, is Dr. Suess'

How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which was made in 2000 starring Jim Carrey. The

third movie is Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. This movie came out in 1964, and

took 18 months and 22 room size sets to complete. The fourth movie is the 2009 film

A Christmas Carol. Last but not least is the TV short Frosty the Snowman, which was

published in 1969, and based off the song "Frosty the Snowman".

Hottest Toys by Trenton Porter

Some of the hottest toys are hoverboards, the Nintendo Switch, and new Nerf guns. The

reason the hoverboard is popular is because it came out last year, but it is one of the hottest

toys this year. The hoverboards with the LG battery are the best ones to get, even though it

may cost a little bit more. Those are the hottest toys for 2017. There are so many more of

the hottest toys. But these are the hottest toys for 2017.

Honor Band by Callie McNeely

On December the 1st, a small, very

talented group of students who play musi-

cal instruments at CMS will be traveling to

Marshall University to play in a state-

wide honor band. The students will

be divided into different groups based on

their playing level and age. They will play

two to four songs depending on what the

band directors decide. The bands are very

selective on who they choose, only the best

of the best from each school are able to attend. The band director chooses ten to

recommend, then he rates them one to five stars in their attitude, playing abil-

ity, and trustworthiness. From there, the band directors can choose as many as

they want, based on instrument, age, and playing abilities. They can choose

as many as one, or as many as ten. Eight children from the CMS band were

able to participate. They played an array of genres, and every single band was

unique. Some choose "Pirates of the Carribean" music, and "The Avengers" and

other bands played slower songs like "Blue", a selection from Kristina's Col-

ors by Robert Smith. No matter what band, or what instrument, all of these stu-

dents did very well.

New Games by Frank Bailey

“ Spintire Mudrunner” is a new game that some people would like if they

like mud. Some people like it for its realism and the graphics.

“Forza Horizon Motorsports 7” is another game that came out that’s for

people who like to race fast or slow car. You can get a slow car and make it

faster that a Lamborghini.

Holiday Recipes by Callie McNeely

Here is a topic that goes through homes every time the holiday season

creeps closer and closer. "What should I make for Christmas Dinner?" Well,

look no further! Find all the answers right here!

It is always a good idea to have plenty of desserts! So, what I will be

covering is the sweet side of the meal. First off, frosted sugar cookies! It is a

holiday classic to just about every family, making Christmas cookies with your

mom or grandma, the smell of fresh baked goods flooding through the

halls. So many memories come back when baking these! So, let's get on with

my personal favorite sugar cookie recipe!

Alton Brown's Holiday Sugar Cookies

3 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt,1 cup

unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, beaten, 1 tablespoon

milk, powdered sugar, for rolling out dough

Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla in mixer on medium-high speed. Add in

egg. Sift together all dry ingredients excluding the powdered sugar. Slowly add

in dry ingredients to wet ingredients on low speed. Mix until dough pulls away

from sides of bowl. (if dough get too thick, add milk.) Sprinkle powdered sugar

on clean, dry surface and roll out dough to desired thickness. Cut shapes, and

bake on a greased pan at 350° for 12-16 minutes rotating when necessary.

Royal Icing

1 lb powdered sugar (about 4 cups or 450 grams), 4 egg whites (or 1/2 cup liq-

uid egg whites), 1 teaspoon vanilla

Optional: food coloring in desired colors

Beat egg white until frothy on high, then turn

speed down and slowly add in powdered sugar. Then,

when sugar is fully incorporated, add in vanilla and

mix on medium-high speed for 30-45 seconds. Add

desired food colorant, pipe designs onto cookies and

let dry for 12 hours or overnight. Icing will harden.

Christmas Wish List by Nina Ellis

My Christmas list includes a makeup table, some clothes, and shoes be-

cause I really didn't ask for anything. I love Christmas because we get to spend

things. That is my Christmas list. What is yours?

Thanksgiving Break by Nina Ellis

My Thanksgiving was pretty amazing. I did a lot of things. First, I went

beans! And lots more of things when I went hunting with my dad, we saw one

deer! It was really fun to spend time with my dad! Many of my friends were

partying with their families. They said they had fun. That is all we did with our

friends!

Secret Santa by Baylee Belcher

Secret Santa is a very good thing we do here at Chapmanville. The girls

Basketball, boys Basketball, and the Cheerleaders all get in groups and buy

presents for kids that don’t really have anything. We will have, pizza, pop and

cake. This is my very favorite thing to do. I would love if everyone could par-

ticipate.

Winter Fashion by Kaitlynn Woody

This winter, there is a lot of new fashion. People like to wear many dif-

ferent things. Girls like to wear Lu Laroe leggings, scarfs, flannels, and boots.

Lu Laroe leggings are leggings that are comfortable. Some have designs and

some are plain. Girls love to wear scarfs during the winter. They're cute and

keep you warm. Girls also love to wear flannels. Flannels are stylish and look

cute with almost anything! Finally, girl absolutely love to wear boots. Some

girls love to wear long leather boots and some love to wear short fuzzy boots.

Black Diamond Conference by Kaitlynn Woody

On Saturday, January 27th 2018, The CMS cheerleaders competed in their

Black Diamond Conference competition. They competed against Madison Mid-

dle, George Washington (GW) Middle, Sherman Middle, Duval Middle, Man

Middle, and Poca Middle. The order of performance was Sherman, Madison,

GW, Chapmanville, Poca, Man, and Duval. Each team could only have

13 cheerleaders compete. Chapmanville's 13 girls that competed were

Ferell, and Madi Thompson. Each team had to perform a 30-40 sec-

ond technical cheer and a 2 minute and 30 second dance routine including

stunts, tumbling, and eight, eight counts of dance. Before any team competed,

they had to have safety check to make sure their stunts were legal and a 5-

minute warm up time. If a stunt was illegal, they had to change it be-

fore competing or they got a big deduction. Each team got judged on difficulty,

creativity, etc. After each team had safety check and their 5-minute warm up

time, it was finally time for the competition to start. If the judges seen a stunt

bobble or anything happen in your routine, you

got deductions. CMS cheerleaders' coaches, Michelle Browning and Maryann

Niel, wouldn’t let the CMS cheerleaders watch the teams that competed before

them so they wouldn’t get nervous. There were 4 judges total. A judge in the

back watching safety and three judges watching from the front. The three judg-

es in the front each had a score sheets. After each team had competed and the

judges were finalizing the total score, they played music for anyone to go out

and dance in the middle of the floor. Then after the judges had the results ready,

it was finally time for the winners to announced. There was a tiny plaque for

3rd place, A small wall plaque for 2nd place plus medals, and a big plaque that

sits on a table and medals for 1st place. The announcer announced

3rd place first 2nd place next, then 1st lace last.GW got 3rd place, Madison got

2nd place, and Chapmanville got 1st place. CMS cheerleaders got a 3 peat this

year meaning they one 1st place in the Black Diamond

Cheer Conference 3 years in a row. Congratulations to the Chapman-

ville Middle School Cheerleaders on their 3rd win in a row!
