The competition was very spirited. Answers were challenged. Teachers debated answers.

Watch the buzzer!

Ms. Colón

 Mr. Chessler makes a point. What did they say?

Dangerous Minds continued to occupy last place. Ms. Colón was visibly upset at the close of last week’s competition.

This week the competitors will be chosen at random. This made students very concerned with how to prepare for the current events round.

Will the Terror Squad hold onto first place? Will the Blazers continue to move up? Will Artificial Intelligence’s strategy work? Who will occupy first place going into the final round of the competition next week?

Good Luck to all!

Our final day of MASTER 2004 will take place on Thursday, July 29, 2004. The schedule for our last day is:

8:30-9:30 First Class
9:35-10:30 Second Class
10:35-10:50 Olympics Preparation
11:00-1:30 Olympics-B04
1:30-3:00 Awards Luncheon- "Pizza is Served"

Prizes for the Academic Olympics will be awarded at the luncheon. Ms. McCabe hopes all MASTERITES are now more confident that they can be successful in challenging science courses. A critical element of success is perseverance.

.

Do you know:

• Nicholas Estevez, Tulsiram Sahai, and Brian Singh will be friends forever, at least according to Tulsiram.

• Ms. Roman has students designing toilet seats. Why?

• Nike Akinsemoyin and Rachel Sanchez spend their lunch periods reading selections for their A.P. English Language course.

"I know this lady who died from kidney failure. Her legs were all swollen. Now I understand why."

Justine Rosario-group A

"I learned how to think outside the box, and about how to think differently about things."

Nicholas Estevez - group B

"You learn things you wouldn’t normally learn in a regular high school. I think that is cool."

Jagdai Ishwar - group D

"I concur with Jagdai."

Renukah Persuad - group D

"The food has improved since last year. I now know how the human body looks inside seeing that the pig body resembles the human body."

Karen Mittler

Hello everyone. You may see me and my co-worker Judena around working for Ms. McCabe. This is my first year as part of the MASTER Program.

I will be attending Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts this fall and I plan to major in International Relations.

In my spare time I love to listen to music and watch movies. I like most types of music and movies. However, I love Indian movies and music the most. I am fascinated by cultures and I love to travel.

Sierra Moona

Hey! My name is Sierra Moona. I’m group leader for group D. I am 17 years old and a graduate of the class of 2004. Next year I will be attending Connecticut College. I can’t wait to start college. It’s going to be a whole bunch of new experiences!

 

As for my interests and hobbies, I have many. I love going to the movies and listening to music. I hate having to wake up early as evidenced by my lateness sometimes. I have been having a lot of fun so far as group leader. Talk to you later guys!

Heimdall Imbert

My name is Heimdall Imbert and I am from the Dominican Republic. I moved to the United States when I was 6 years old. I recently became a United States citizen and I am planning to attend Siena College in the fall. My major will be computer science.

One of my favorite things to do is watch sports. I enjoy watching baseball (and yes, I am a Yankees fan), and I also play from time to time. I also enjoy football and basketball. I like using computers (making websites, learning new computer languages, surfing the web, etc...). And, like most guys, I like to play video games from time to time.
