Dear Northley Students,
It’s already half way through the year, can you believe it? February is here, but where is the SNOW?
We still need to use up our snow days! So, to get everyone into the wintery mood, we wanted to fill
this newspaper with fun, holiday articles and activities. Enjoy!
The Editor
By Julia Smith What do you like to do after the holi-days? We elves love to take vacations to Christmas Island. After all of that toy making, we like to kick back and relax with a coconut filled with hot chocolate! Yum! What is your favorite toy to make? Well, we all have different favorites. Like, Jingle Bells loves to make the in-struments, Mistletoe likes to bind all of the books, Sugar likes to make all of the candy, and Elwood likes to make the sports equipment such as: baseballs, basketballs, footballs, and more. What do elves like to eat? We try to stay within four major food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn,
and syrup. We love a lot of sugar. We also eat pancakes when the holiday season is over because that’s when Santa can leave the shop
and get us some.
Julia Smith is a member of the National Junior Honor Society. She is working on a community service project where she writes letters to the soldiers in Iraq. We wanted to share a letter sent back to Julia: Dear Julia,
Thank you so much for the box you sent.
Receiving any kind of mail is
always a great morale booster. I really
liked reading the cards from the
kids, the jokes made my day. I loved all
of them, I will start hanging
them up tomorrow. I was telling some of
the other soldiers the jokes,
they didn't laugh as much as I did. I
would like to send a letter to the
kids if you could send me the address to
the school or I could just send
it to you and you could deliver it for me.
I wanted to tell you a little about me. I
am 28 years old and I love the

Mr. Raines By: Emily Bromley & Kelly Coleman Mr. Raines has been teaching in Penn-Delco school district for ten years. He started teaching his friends about music in middle school and contin-ued to teach his friends in high school and college. Mr. Raines went to a variety of colleges including; East Carolina, which he attended for four years, and West Chester University, where he earned his Master’s degree. He attended St. Joe’s for high school. Mr. Raines went into the music industry because he wanted to teach middle schoolers all about music, and to show everyone that anyone (with raw music ability or not) can play an instrument. Music was always a passion of his. Now music is not only his passion but it is his job. Although Mr. Raines does not know how to play all the instruments, he has at least a little knowledge about them.

By: Julia Smith Aries: (March 21-April 19) This New Year will be as energetic as you are! Forget the indoors, you will be outside doing what you love to do best: staying active. Whether it’s shoveling snow or sledding down hills, you will find a way to burn all of that energy! Taurus: (April 20-May 20) This New Year will take some get-ting used to. But, being as patient as you are, it shouldn’t be a problem. Remember to open up to people and make some new friends! Gemini (May21-June 20) This New Year will be full of laughs! Lots of fun is heading your way! But, don’t let your double per-sonality get in the way of all your fun. Remember, balance is a good thing.
Cancer: (June 21-July 22) Your New Year looks very promising! As loyal and sympathetic as you are, you will make some new friends, while keeping your old ones close. Leo: (July 23-August 22) This New Year will be filled with adventure for your wild spirit! Have fun and try to find someone else to share your crazy adventures with! Your year will also be filled with drama between your fellow peers, so try not to get involved or it might ruin your sponta-neous year! Virgo: (August 23-September 22) Your New Year will be great! Filled with fun, friends, and more! But, try not to work so hard or you might not be able to enjoy it! Libra: (September 23-October 22) Your New Year looks as optimistic as you! Be sure to spread your optimism throughout your friends so that their New Year is as good as yours!
Scorpio: (October 23-November 21) Your New Year will be surprising! Look out for a special twist in your year! Don’t worry; it’s going to be a good one! Sagittarius: (November 22-December 21) Your New Year is going to be a time for giving. Being the generous person you are, it should be a wonderful year! Capricorn: (December 22-January 19) Your New Year is going to be filled with opportunities to show off your leadership skills! Whether it’s a lead in the school play, or captain of your sport’s team! Aquarius: (January 20-Febraury 18) Your New Year will be filled with ways to show others your uniqueness and crea-tivity! Enjoy every minute of it! Pisces: (February 19-March 20) Use your artistic mind to create an amaz-ing year! Stay open-minded about others and share your creativity with others!
A: I hope you apologized. If you didn’t, APOLOGIZE! An apology can go a long way to resolving con-flicts. If you did apologize, she may need a little time to calm down. Then maybe apologize again, and explain what you are sorry for. For example, “I’m so sorry I hit you in the face with a snowball. I would never intention-ally do that. I hope you can forgive me because I really value our friendship.” Q: I have a hard time making friends at school. The only person that listens to me is my stuffed snowman name Frosty. What can I do to make some “real” friends? A: I would join an afterschool activ-ity (sport or club). You will find so many interesting people that you actually have something in common
Q: My best friend went snowboarding without me! I don’t want to be mad at her but I can’t help it. How can I con-trol my jealousy? A: Tell your friend that next time she goes snowboarding, if she is allowed to bring a friend, you’d love to go. You can then find out why she didn’t bring you. She may not have been allowed or maybe she didn’t think you’d be interested. But it sounds like the two of you just need to communicate openly with one another a little more.
Q: Over the weekend, my whole neighborhood had a huge snowball fight. During the chaos, I accidently hit my friend in the face with snow. Now she’s mad at me. What can I do?
with. I would leave Frosty at home, though, but that’s just me. Q: I am planning to have a win-ter themed birthday party soon. I have a group of friends but not everyone is getting along. What should I do? A: Special Guest to the Nest: Mr. Maxwell just had a party and had the same issue so he is here to answer this one! Invite everyone in the group. The party may be just what they need to work out their differences. Just because they are having a disagreement now does not mean that they are not going to make up. If you do not invite some of them, you may feel bad later and that may (Continued)

A Present to Me By: Julia Smith
I didn’t want to move, but my mom made me. The
three hour drive to our new ranch house was dreadful. It
was already four months into the semester when my mom
told me that we were moving to New Jersey. A new
school, a new house, new people and I am not prepared for
any of it. My mom looks at it as, “a brand new start” but
all I see it as is a giant disappointment. I’m not the one
who needs a new start. Anyway, Christmas is a week away
and I am not even excited for that either. I am starting
school tomorrow and I am still trying to figure out my
game plan for the day. I toured the school yesterday and it
wasn’t anything special. Drab gray walls, boxy school
desks, and stupid gray uniforms that are as dull as the
teachers who work there. As the sun drops and the hours
go up, I lay awake thinking of those gray sweaters.
The next morning went by in a blur as I said good-
bye and started walking to school. Yes, walking. There are
no buses that belong to the school; something about giving
kids exercise, but I really think that all they want is to
punish us kids. Homeroom wasn’t that excellent either.
My teacher, Mrs. Edwards, is an older lady with strange
black and silver hair. She spoke with a whisper, but I did-
n’t even pay attention. My other classes went by so slowly
and I thought that lunch would never come. But, lunch
was even worse. I sat by the trash cans on the floor and
when the first banana peel fell onto my head, I lost my
appetite. In afternoon homeroom, Mrs. Edwards an-
nounced that the school will be hosting their annual
Christmas Pollyanna. I knew right then and there that I
wouldn’t be receiving any gifts. When I got home, I told
my mom and she made me buy some dumb present.
The Pollyanna came that Friday before break and
everyone exchanged gifts with each other…except me.

Pop These DaysPop These DaysPop These DaysPop These Days
By: Connor McDermond
I’m not trying to be a total old man here, but pop just
really stinks these days. All it is is some talentless
auto tuned pretty boys thinking that they can make a
song. The lyrics just stink! “Call Me Maybe.” Wow!
Is that just a desperate attempt at rhyming something
with baby. Plus, “I need a refill?” What were you,
getting sponsored by Burger King? The songs are
also repetitive in Justin Bieber’s “Baby.” He says it
55 times - FIFTY FIVE TIMES! Plus, he sounds like
a seven year old girl singing (no wonder he’s the
worst female singer in the world.)
By the way, you have to be kidding. A guy writes a
song called “Payphone” in 2012! Wow! What’s his
next single, “Floppy disk?” Pop started getting de-
stroyed by these young faced talentless hacks ever
since Michael Jackson died. Every time I hear a pop
song on the radio, I cover up my ears to not listen to
this dog doo doo. If you have the same opinion as
me, then good for you. but if you don’t, get a life and
stop worshipping these untalented pretty boy morons
as gods. I rest my case that pop stinks these days,
and don’t even get me started about One Direction.
A SHORT
STORY
When everyone was done, I had nothing. I watched as the
other students opened their presents and I sat there. I
don’t know why, but this made me a little upset. The rest
of day went by like always and as I was leaving, I heard
someone call my name, “Annie! Annie!” I turned to see
Mrs. Edwards standing at the entrance holding a gift,
“This is for you! One of the students was embarrassed to
give this to you and asked me to and I must have forgot-
ten!” I smiled and held the gift. Maybe this won’t be so
bad after all. The End.
Snowman Paradise By Johnna Diehl
One day, a snowman appeared out of no-where in the middle of Northley Middle School. All of the teachers were scared that the snowman would not leave. All of a sudden, the students be-gan laughing.
“What’s going on?” said Maria. Mrs. Miller exclaimed, “A snowman just
appeared.” The Northley Middle School was now completely frozen.
“Was this school crazy?” said Joey. Kids were running and screaming! So, they closed the school down for five days. The kids and teachers resumed on the Monday of the next week. The snowman was gone. Now the students could learn.
Directions: 1.) In a large bowl, beat granulated sugar, butter and molasses with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until well mixed. Beat in egg and water until blended. Stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, cardamom and cloves. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm. 2.) Heat oven to 350 F. On floured surface, roll 1/3 of dough at a time to 1/8 inch thickness. (Keep re-maining dough refrigerated until ready to roll) . Cut with floured 2 ½ inch gingerbread boy or girl cookie cutters. On ungreased cookie sheet, place shapes about 1 inch apart. Decorate with currants or can-dies. Sprinkle with colored sugar. 3.) Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool completely.
Santa Claus By Alexis Gindle
One winter night, at midnight on Christmas, Santa was at all the houses giving out presents to all the boys and girls. He was silent. Then he came to a foster home where 20-40 boys and girls lived. Santa needed a lot of presents. One little boy heard a small noise coming from the living room. So the little boy got up from his bed and went downstairs. Santa and the little boy looked at each other and at that very moment Santa new that his wife was watching over him and his new son.

National Chocolate Covered Anything Day
National Chocolate Covered Anything Day is a very over looked holiday. It is always on December 16th
. This is a day
to indulge your favorite chocolate foods and not feel guilty about it. Some popular chocolate covered foods are
chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered cherries, and chocolate covered chocolate cheesecake. Some more
different combinations are chocolate covered bacon, chocolate covered bugs, and chocolate covered meatballs.
You can create your own chocolate covered food. Be fun and creative with it.
This holiday goes back to the mid-1800’s. There were many Swedish settlers in Minnesota. They found
the method of covering everything in chocolate. It was in a small town called Lindstrom, where the people thought
this was a great idea and it needed to stay alive. A chocolate shop in Lindstrom called Här är Chokladöverdragna
Något was the first to celebrate this day. If it wasn’t for Minnesota we would not have this wonderful holiday.

The Hunger Games Book vs the Movie
By: Zoe Tutlo
The Hunger Games! Have you read the book? Have you seen the movie? Well, I’ve done both and let me tell you, I don’t regret one min-ute of it. So which one is better you ask? I personally have no favorite, but let’s see what you think! Mrs. Zimmerman said…“I like the book. The movie was great, but it left out a lot of important parts.” Julia Smith said… ”I prefer the book. The movie was good though.” What do you like better? Thanks for read-ing and see you soon!
The Viking Voice loves to find out more about the special people who work here. Julia and Devyn had plenty of questions for our awesome Mrs. Morgan. Q: How long have you been a secretary at NMS? A: Since February 2004. It will be 9 years in February. Q: What is the best part of being a secretary here at Northley? A: The students are the best part. They are always different and it’s a lot of fun to see them when I’m out and around town. Q: What do you like to do during free time? A: Walk and hike with my husband Tom and play “Chuck It” with my puppy, Coal. Q: What college did you go to? A: I went to Keystone School of Business and Widener University.
Q: What is the hardest part of being a secretary? A: Getting my work done quickly and correctly. Secretaries do many tasks at one time, but at the end of day, everything needs to come together. Q: Do you have any interesting hobbies? A: I’ve been involved with the Green Ridge Volunteer Fire Company for 30 years.
Q: Have you worked outside of the district? What did you do? A: I was an Administrative Assis-tant to the President of UGI Corpo-ration. It’s a fancy name for a sec-retary, but I had a company car and a clothes allowance. Q: What type of music do you like to listen to? A: Anything you can dance to!
Q: What is your favorite movie and book? A: My favorite movie is “Gone with the Wind”, and the book I always read and reread is about 911 firefighters. I don’t know that it’s my favorite book, but it’s been my “go to” book for 10 years. Thank you, Mrs. Morgan. We appreci-ate all that you do!
I want to thank you once again for
everything you did to put a smile on
our face.
Thank you,

writing. I am actually working on a
book myself. It's a book about my
experiences in Iraq back in 2003. I
went to Iraq when I was 18 right

boy who is 5 and a girl who is 8 and
I miss them both so much. My kids

(Siegel’s Nest Continued) actually cause more friction. I hope you have a wonderful birthday! Q: I am pretty sure there is a student who is being bullied in my home-room. He won’t say anything but some kids always seem to be making fun of him. Should I say something or should I stay out of it? I’m afraid I will make it worse and the kids are just kind of talk-ing down to him and laughing at him. A: Any time, and I mean ANY time, you see someone being hurt emotionally or physically, you should report that. You can remain anonymous. But this student may really need our help. Let’s work together to help him and ALL students who are unfortunately a target of bullying. We can make a difference.

(Interview with the Elves continued) What is your favorite thing to do in your free time? Besides making toys, we love to sing Christmas carols, play basketball, and smile. Smiling is our favorite thing to do! What is it like working for Santa Claus? It’s so amazing! He is the best boss ever! He gives us breaks whenever we want them, and sometimes we even get to travel in the sled on Christmas and help him give out the toys. I think that we all like to work for him. Well, except for Frank. He has to pick up the reindeer poop. But, everyone else has a great time. I’m just glad that I got this job and I don’t have to mend shoes or bake cookies in a tree or anything. How do you get to Santa’s Work-shop? That information is confidential.
