Meet the Hype Staff

The Hype is back!  That means both new staff members and new articles for the Howard Hype.  Unfortunately, some people don’t know what that means.  Some might ask: who are they or what do they do? Well, who better to answer these questions than the staff members themselves?  There are fourteen members on the staff: two sixth graders, two seventh graders and ten eighth graders. Each carefully selected by the teacher of the class, Ms. S.  On staff, we do all kind of things, from writing articles for the Hype to working on the yearbook, which, by the way, is going to be awesome!

The staff was asked some generel questions, their favorite college, and why they joined the Hype staff. Here are the answers:

“My name is Alex V. I love to train my pet and teach it new tricks. When I’m ready for college I want to go to Yale University. I joined the Hype staff because it looked fun.”

“I’m Fitzroya N. My favorite color is purple and I love to play in games. I joined Hype staff because I love to write. I want to go to a Florida University.”

“My name is Angelica M. I love texting my friends and going on MySpace. I joined because I love taking pictures of things. I’m either going to UCF or NYU.”

“I’m Sam H.  I’m going to an air force or naval academy to serve my country.  I spend most of my time watching T.V and I don’t know why I joined the Hype staff, but I’m glad I did.”

“My name is Alexis R.  My favorite color is green and I like to eat and sleep.  I joined Hype staff because my brother was in it last year, and it looked pretty fun. Plus, Ms. S likes me. I’m going to the University of Florida. GO GATORS!!!”

“Hi, I’m Alexyz H.  I like rock climbing and practicing my trumpet.  I joined the staff for many reasons, I enjoy handling technology. Also, I want to express my love for photography. I’m going to Rollins.”

“I’m Harrison.  I joined the Hype staff because I wanted to make the year one to remember.  I want to go to Harvard.”

“What’s up! I’m Billy F.  I mostly play video games and watch T.V, but I do also like talking to my friends.  I joined the Hype staff because it looked fun and how cool would it be to make the yearbook this year! I don’t know where I want to go yet for college but it’s probably going to be UCF”.

“My name is Stephanie Lee. I like dancing, shopping and swimming. I joined because I thought it would be a fun and new experience for me. I’m going to UCF.”

“I’m Reggie S.  I like playing basketball outside. I joined the staff because I like taking pics.  I want to go to the UCF College.”

“I’m Ashleigh B. I like to play volleyball, talk and hang with my friends. I joined because I love to write.  I want to go to FAMU!”

“My name is Jackie B. I love to text on my cell phone.  I joined to develop my skills and knowledge in journalism and photography.  I’m either going to UCF or BCU.”

“I’m Carl K. I like to race and watch racing.  I joined the staff to be part of the school and know it better.  I’m going to UCF.”

” My name is Cami B. I love horseback riding. I joined the staff because it sounded like a lot of fun. I think I’m going to UCF.”

So that’s a little on the Hype staff on the Hype staff.  Everyone loves what they do and are always willing to do it.  I can honestly say this is one of the most fun things you can do!  We’re giving it our all this year and it’s going to be a great one!

Look for us with our camera and you may end up in on the Hype site or in the 2009/2010 HMS Yearbook!!
