The next thing stu-

dents did was a sharpie color

experiment. This experiment

reveals the secret colors hid-

den within a black sharpie.

For this experiment, heavy

white tissue paper, a

sharpie, a cup, a pencil, and

water were used. First stu-

dents drew a line on the pa-

per and then drew a dot on

the line with a sharpie. Fi-

nally, they dipped the paper

in the water and watched as

new and unexpected colors

appeared.

When the 6th grade

students went to Lamar

University, they visited four

different departments:

math, physics, geology, and

chemistry. While at the

chemistry department, they

did two different activities

both of which were focused

on colors.

One experiment was

called color-changing milk.

The color of the milk

changes as the name indi-

cates, but because it is slow

spreading, a cool effect was

created. The materials used

were milk, a plate, food col-

oring, dish soap, and cotton

swabs. First students

poured milk into a plate

and added one drop of food

color. Then they dipped a

cotton swab into the dish-

washing soap and touched

the milk with the tip of the

swab. Immediately the color

radiated away from the cot-

ton swab. It was beautiful!

PNMS wel-

comes our new Assis-

tant Principal, Coach

Richardson. He is the

former football coach

and science teacher

at PN-G high school.

Let’s take a look at

his interview.

Do you like work-

ing at our school?

Coach Richardson: I

couldn’t be happier

than I am at PNMS.

We have the hardest

working teachers and

staff, and our stu-

dents have a great

attitude and give

their best effort in

everything. This is

the place I felt

would be like home

to me.

We think Coach

Richardson is abso-

lutely correct, don’t

you?

What did you

coach specifically

in football?

Coach: I was the

head freshmen

coach and defensive

coordinator, and I

coached linebackers.

My record as head

freshmen coach was

19 wins and 1 loss. I

had the hardest

working athletes in

the state of Texas.

Wow, that must

have been a handful

to coach!

What is your fa-

vorite memory of

PNMS so far?

Lamar Physics Physics is the science of

"why things work." At Lamar,

we found out that the typical

undergraduate physics stu-

dent is working toward an en-

gineering, mathematics or

computer science degree.

Physics includes me-

chanics, heat, light and other

radiation, sound, electricity,

magnetism, and the structure

of atoms.

couldn’t check the grades of

their kids.

As soon as the viruses

were gone, the teachers

checked their computers to

find a great surprise. Some of

the files on their desktops

were gone. A truly catastro-

phic incident indeed!

My favorite part of the

field trip was the math club.

The topics were very interest-

ing and made your brain think

on how it all worked.

We learned that M. C.

Escher made some of the most

iconic paintings in the 20th

century like Day and Night, a

painting in black and white

that uses symmetry to confuse

you and draw you in.

We also focused on the

4 color theorem. We colored a

map of the United States and

the McGregor Map. My group

and I completed the United

States map, but the McGregor

was too difficult for us.

The 6th grade PNMS

students have recently taken a

field trip to Lamar University

(LU) for educational purposes

and had a good time (at least I

did). Anyway, my main focus

in this article is the geology

department. The presenters

let us hold minerals such as

amethyst, fossils, etc. They

also talked about volcanoes

and fissures. It was a cool

visit, and I would definitely go

again, as would many others!

Catastrophe! By Zander Frost

On the week of Novem-

ber 12, our internet capabili-

ties and skyward were shot.

Teachers and students alike

were mad indeed, for the

teachers couldn’t make lesson

plans or record grades, and

the students couldn’t research

topics without fear of dooming

the computers with an unholy

virus. The parents were even

more scared for they

Coach: I feel very blessed to be

your principal, so I will be

here as long as y’all let me.

Speaking for all of our staff

and students, we hope Coach

Richardson stays here as long

as he can, and he will always

be welcomed at PNMS.

behavior, so I got to visit class-

rooms and hang out with y’all.

What would you change

about PNMS?

Coach: I would wrap all you

kids up in bubble wrap to keep

you safe, and then double our

staff’s salary.

Tristan and I also like that

idea.

Were you scared coming

into the school in the mid-

dle of the year?

Coach: No. Everybody I work

with is the best at what they

do. Everywhere I lack experi-

ence my team makes up for

me.

Would you consider becom-

ing a principal of another

school like our last assis-

tant principal, Dr. Bryan?

New Computers!! By Baylee Curbow and Court-

ney Cobb

Some kids wanted a

phone or a Nintendo Switch

for Christmas, but if you’re a

6th grader at PNMS, you were

hoping and praying for new

computers on your desk!

The current computers

glitch out, don’t save, and

sometimes don’t even log you

on correctly. How can we sixth

graders do our work or check

our grades if they die? The

battery life goes down in five

minutes.

We NEED new com-

puters! Please consider it?

everyone in the Christmas

Why should you put a calen-

To start off the new year in a

cool way.

Which moves faster on New

Heat. It’s so easy to catch a

cold!

ents for Christmas?
