Week of Respect is a time in
school when the whole campus
takes time to think and talk about
safety and nonviolence. This cele-
bration was started to support anti-
bullying and is a week filled with
honor and kindness to others.
Week of Respect started on Octo-
ber 1st and ended on October 5th.
When the students celebrated this,
the school had some activities
planned for each day. Monday was
Kickoff Day. To honor the im-
portance of school safety, students
wore white or purple.
Tuesday was Respect Yourself
Day, when students were encour-
aged to dress professionally.
Twin Day allowed students and
their friends to wear identical
clothing, as if they were twins.
Teachers were also able to wear
identical clothes with a student or
fellow teacher. Thursday was Re-
spect Your School Day, and every-
one dressed in the school colors.
For the last day of Week of Re-
spect, Friday, the theme was Get
Your Blue On, where students and
staff were to wear blue to commit
to being an Upstander.
¨Week of Respect was thought to
be a time to come together to cele-
brate the differences in the world,
while also building a safe and
respectful school environment,¨

Robison Celebrates Week of Respect
Teacher Spotlight: Ms. Frailey
“She is Superwoman!” said Robi-
son Middle School Principal, Ms.
Ravalo.
This teacher is a hard working
woman and would do anything for
her kids. She is an amazing and
dedicated educator who works
diligently. And the name of this
marvelous teacher? 6th grade
English Language Arts teacher,
Ms. Frailey!
Frailey became an educator be-
cause she wanted to be a better
teacher than the ones she had
growing up. This has made her a
very unique teacher. In college, her
advisor suggested she should look
into education.
“My advisor said I would be a
great educator,” said Frailey.
Frailey has been teaching for 18
years. But, she has been teaching
at Robison for four years. She
loves interacting with her students
because she loves getting to know
them. Her least favorite part,
though? Grading.

The club is a place where every-
one is silly, so Improv Club can
help many people with their
shyness.
So what are the other benefits of
Improv? Improv can help stu-
dents gain comfort in social
settings, help brainstorming
abilities, improve listening and
observation skills, and enhance
creative-thinking abilities, ac-
cording to club advisors.
“It helps [students] sharpen act-
ing skills, make friends, have
fun, gain confidence, and make
others laugh,” Improv advisor,
Ms. Malen explained. Many
members of improvisation are
“talented, funny, smart, and a
ball of laughs,” she added.
Improv isn’t the same as acting.
Improvisation is a form of live
theatre where everything is made
up in the moment, it’s like acting
from the top of your head. Often,
improvisers will take a sugges-
tion from the audience, or draw
on some other source of inspira-
tion to get started.
”It can improve confidence and
can give students a chance to
have a [creative] outlet,” states
Mr. Kelly, Robison’s drama
teacher.
The Improv Club meets every
Thursday in room 500 with Ms.
Malen.
one hand PUBG is more realis-
tic, while Fortnite has a cartoon
look, to be more family friendly.
Derek, a Robison seventh grader
who asked for his last name to
be left out, prefers Fortnite over
PUBG.
“Fortnite is fun for everyone and
Fortnite and PUBG are two pop-
ular games that have been a part
of an ongoing debate since they
were introduced to Robison stu-
dents.
Fortnite and PUBG are both
battle royale games. Both games
are very similar, yet people still
argue which game is better. On
it’s more in the lines of kid
friendly, and all of your family
can play it because it’s free.”
So there's one person for Fort-
nite.
Kevin, another student at Robi-
son who did not want his last
name revealed, said, “I like
PUBG because it's very open
and it’s not as strict as Fortnite.
The One And Only Improv Club
New Games for the Game Room?
We also spoke with Mr. Johnson,
the game room supervisor, to get a
closer perspective of the topic. He
thinks there are valuable reasons to
have a student game room.
He said, “keeping kids motivated,
being good and earning Halo
Bucks,” are some of the most im-
portant benefits to adding games to
the game room.
Prentice is also a big fan of the
video games. She discussed the
games that are currently in the
game room. At the moment there
are two PS4’s that have NBA
2k16, Need for Speed, Lego
Marvel, Wii Sports, and FIFA
‘16. However, the biggest chal-
lenge to adding games to the
game room is cost.
“Currently, we don't have money
for new games,” stated Prentice.
But, this doesn’t mean that she
doesn’t think games aren’t help-
ful. She believes that games are
a good way to relax and enjoys
video games herself.
reaction time,” said an article
from public news organization,
KQED.
Another article from the Huff-
ington Post stated, “a number of
recent studies have indicated that
video games, even violent ones,
can help kids develop essential
emotional and intellectual skills
that support academic achieve-
ment.” So you can see that play-
ing games can help students gain
a lot of different skills.

Improv Club is different and unique
from other clubs here at Robison. It
takes unique, creative minds and
creates amazing ideas. Improv Club
is a great place to be yourself and
have a great laugh. The cool thing
about Improv is there are no mis-
takes and only opportunities.
Many students join Improv Club to
improve creativity and gain confi-
dence, so they can be able to face a
big crowd.
Are you tired of the same old
games in the game room? Add-
ing new games can be really
beneficial. Recently, a group of
students interviewed the counse-
lor, Ms. Prentice, and the game
room supervisor, Mr. Johnson, to
see if we can get new games.
First, video games can be really
beneficial, even though it might
not seem like it at first.
“Gameplay has cognitive bene-
fits because games have shown
to improve attention, focus and
If you get caught doing a
glitch or a simple tiny
cheat, they will give you a
warning, which is what I
like.”
You can have your own
opinion on these two
games. If you like Fortnite
or PUBG - or maybe even
both - you can decide for
yourself which game is
better.

Week of Respect is a state-wide
event. This is a week worth cele-
brating because it is all about
community, coming together for
safety, inclusion, acceptance,
and respect. This week is a
chance to correct behavior.
“Week of Respect means that we
should all treat each other well,”
Ms. Ravalo, principal of Dell H.
Robison Middle School, said “...
even if we’re having a bad day.”
Even though Week of Respect
has ended, we should not forget
the lessons that it taught us; les-
sons like supporting good and
realizing how bad violence and
bullying are. These lessons can
help us through life and we
should not forget these important
things.
“I hope that kids remember
Week of Respect and the posi-
tive relationships between every-
one,” Ravalo added.
“It does not just start and end
with this one week. Take all the
chances given to express our
respect and kindness towards
others and ourselves,” Salcido
said. “This is an ongoing effort
to correct negative behavior and
start a positive change.”
When we asked the opinion of
Amber Viramontes, a student at
Robison Middle School, she
said, “I think that a football team
at Robison is a great idea, but I
would like to see girls play as
well.” What many students don’t
know, however, is that the foot-
ball team is co-ed.
The practices were held Tuesday
through Friday after
school. Practice starts by warm-
Finally! After many requests for
Robison’s own flag football
team, it is finally here!
“Football is a highly requested
team among the students,” Mr.
Melendez, one of the coaches for
the football team, said. “As soon
as we heard the opportunity for a
club or possible team, Mr. Rus-
sell and I jumped at the oppor-
tunity.”
ing up and doing some stretches.
Then, they set up the defense
and offense and the football
team starts doing some drills.
This means that the offense will
try to get past the defense.
After that, players run routes
while Coach Russell passes the
ball to them. When the football
team gets in trouble in class they
usually do push-ups or suicides,

too! One of Frailey’s ELA 6
students, Katrina Salcedo, loves
being in her class.
“Ms. Frailey inspires me to work
hard,” said Salcedo
Frailey is adored by many. She
tells her students not to give up
and to keep working hard. She is
an inspiring teacher, and her
students look up to her.
Frailey is astounding! Wouldn’t
you think that someone who gets
into a car accident and breaks
two ankles would want to take
some time to rest? Not Frailey!
She bounced back two months
after the accident. She recovered
quickly for her students.
“Ms. Frailey is a rockstar!’’ said
Ravalo.
Frailey’s students all love her,

the other cat? You are purrrfect!
He also likes playing pranks. One day, Acu-
na’s mother was in the laundry room. The
light switch is right by the door, so he reached
his hand in and turned the light off. His moth-
er turned it back on. This happened many
times over. She soon came out to see who it
was and Acuna jumped out!
“She was so scared I could barely hold on,”
he said.
Daniel Ramirez is another 7th grader with
jokes.
Pranks, pranks, pranks! Good ol’ pranks.
Pranks are a good source of giggles, laughter,
or just plain enjoyment. They can make you
fall out of your seat and die of laughter.
Pranks have benefits and are a good way to
have fun. They are a way to make your life
more exciting and can also bring people to-
gether by giving them the giggles. Keep read-
ing and you’ll hear some good pranks to plan
on your friends, or jokes to make your friends
laugh really hard.
Christian Acuna, a 7th grader, has a lot of
good jokes and pranks
One joke he told was: What did the cat say to
When Ramirez was young, he cut his fore-
head and had to get stitches. He made it look
like the stitches were ripped open and showed
his mother. When his mother figured out that
the stitches were fake, she was really upset.
But, the person whose face was priceless was
his father’s.
“He said, ‘my only son is going to die!” said
Ramirez

Remember! Even though pranks may be funny with your friends, they shouldn’t be done at school!
