Kidsday
|
 |
Mrs. Duffy’s class worked with Kidsday (Newsday) to publish a Sunday addition (April 28th) as well as several articles during that week. Some of our adventures included going to Dave and Buster’s in Westbury to interview Carly Rose Sonneclar, last year’s runner-up in the X-Factor Competition. Carly Rose was at Dave and Buster’s as a special guest at the 10th annual Kids Party for a Cure benefiting the Diabetes Research Institute. Another group of students had the opportunity to visit WBLI and interview on-air personality Astra and take a tour of the radio station. It was a fun and interesting experience learning how newspaper articles are written from concept to publishing. |
RCM Young Writers!
|
 |
This year, 211 8th grade students were nominated nationally. Of that number, 51 received Certificates of Recognition (winners) and 160 received Certificates of Participation. Each student submitted two pieces of writing, which were read by national judges. Papers were judged on content, purpose, audience, tone, word choice, organization, development, and style.
Catherine Duffy, Murphy JHS English Department Chairperson was very pleased to learn that 2 of the 4 students nominated from Murphy were among the 51 students recognized nationally. "I speak on behalf of the entire English Department when I say we are so proud that Michelle Hu and Michelle Sun were selected for this honor. We look forward to reading more of their published writings in the future." |

As the school winner, Kavya will now advance in the competition to the Long Island Bee at Hofstra University. The first round of this competition will be a written spelling bee, from which the top 10 percent will advance to the region’s oral round.

| 10th CABARET a SMASH! |
 |
| Proving the adage that some things keep getting better with time, RC Murphy JHS’s milestone 10th annual Cabaret Night showcased local talent with Tony-worthy performances. Three Village residents took a break from holiday shopping and were treated to song, dance and comedy sketches, as well as dinner catered by the popular eatery, O Sole Mio, dished out by 100 student-waiters in the middle school cafeteria. |
 |
| Undaunted by a postponement caused by Hurricane Sandy, over 200 students and 50 teachers took to the Stony Brook stage on December 1 for the fundraiser, hosted by the Parent-Teacher Organization and Murphy Theatre department. Teachers gave a sassy rendition of Young MC’s Grammy award-winning rap classic Bust a Move, with help from a NYC choreographer. Other crowd pleasers included Along Came Jones, The Devil Went Down To Georgia, Safety Dance, and The Prayer, arranged and performed by 9th graders Jillian Stabile and Gabrielle Cambria. The event also marked the debut of 7th grade choreographer Kara Manuud, whose interpretation of Dog Days are Over wowed the crowd. |
 |
| Hard-hitting budget crunches have given Cabaret Night even more prominence. Funds raised over the last decade have been turned right back into the school for such items as audio-visual equipment in the cafeteria and library; A new surround sound speaker system and ipod docking station for the gymnasium; Technology department tools; pianos and recording equipment; as well as football jerseys, cheerleading competitions and guests for our annual poetry slam. |

An International Celebration!
|
.jpg) |
In celebration of foreign language week at R.C. Murphy Junior High School in the Three Village Central School District, students participated in a wide range of multicultural and linguistic activities.
Throughout the week, the school’s students participated in trivia and door-decorating contests, listened as international songs were played over the loudspeakers between class periods and made the morning announcements in a foreign language. The school’s National Foreign Language Honor Society members also conducted afterschool French, Italian and Spanish cooking classes for the district’s fifth- and sixth-graders, and visited with seniors at the Sunrise Assisted Living Center to teach them about the languages they were studying. During themed cooking classes, the students taught their younger peers some key phrases in the language of the day and helped them create crepes, cannoli and churros. |

| RCM 9/11 Remembrance |
 |
From Our Own Betsy Knox ~
I have to share my feelings surrounding this morning’s 9/11 assembly. The design of having all students and faculty outside surrounding the flag, leaving and returning to the building in silence, the pledge introduced by Mr. Vizzo, the chorus singing America the Beautiful, the “bells” as the flag was lowered to half mast, and the moving words of explanation to honor those who have fallen, the entire assembly brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat. I feel honored to be a member of the Murphy family. |
