Prom is a eighth grade celebration that the eighth graders have every year. Our prom theme this year is space. Ninety percent of students think that we should re-vote for prom. Ninety percent of students do not like the fact that space is going to be our prom theme. Ten percent of students think that space is gonna be like rave. Well they're wrong! Prom is going to have space ships, and little planets hanging from the roof. That's nothing like rave! The prom committee people made 400 invitations. The invitations are black, and have silver and purple stars. On the back of the invitations is a paper that the parents have to sign. The paper tells the parents to drop off the students at 7 pm, and pick the students up at 10 pm. No later! Students must have their inventations to get in prom. So don't forget your invitations, eighth graders!

April Fools Day Orgin
By: Melanie Camacho
The Orgin of April fools day is still uncertain. Some People say it’s a certain celebration related to the turn of the seasons, but that’s only one theory. Others are: April fools started in the 1500's when the Gregorian calendar took over from Julian. People who forgot to change the calendar and celebrated new years on the 1st of April (the wrong date) were teased as April fools. Many believe this is the arrival of spring when nature '' fools'' mankind with weather. The last theory is an end of winter celebration. Earlier the Ancient cultures including the Romans and the Hindus celebrated, new years day around April first.Today, April fool is not a holiday but observes humor. People sometimes call April fools "all fools day" Some people have Aphrilophobia a fear of April fools day. April fools day is celebrated playing hoaxes and practical jokes on April first. Jokes only last until noon. Someone who plays a trick after noon is called an April fool and will call bad luck.The common prank is of course to make someone run a fools errand like checking for a missing button or open zipper. To be a good Prankster you must be a cool person and have good timing. Other pranks are looking for things that don’t exist, playing pranks on family, friends and trying to get people to believe in ridiculous things.April fools day is celebrated in U.S, England, France, Scotland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Germany, and Norway. In Scotland April fools is called an April qowk. In England a fool is called a gob. France calls the victim of the hoax an April fish.
Some of the best known pranks in recent years were mounted by advertising agencies. Taco bell ran a full page in The New York Times saying they purchased the Liberty bell and would rename it Taco Liberty bell. Burger King pulled off a similar prank announcing the roll out of its left handed whopper. The internet hoaxes announce that every computer connected to the World Wide Web must be turned off for internet cleaning day for a 24 hour time frame.

D.C and Washinghton field trip
By Analisa Benitiz
On March 21,2009 students who are going to go on the eight grade trip to Washington D.C ,and New York will meet at Lynn Middle School at 6:00 A.M. From Lynn, they are going to the El Paso airport. Las Cruces middle schools are going on the trip all together. They are returning from the trip on March 26, 2009. The trip will help the students learn about United States history first hand.
They are going to see many cool places and many things. For instance, in New York City, students are going to see the very famous play "Mama Mia" on Broadway. In Washington D.C. the students are going to see The White House and the Smithsonian Museum.
On March 23, students are going to be headed to New York from D.C.
When they get to New York they will go check into their luxurious hotels. From there they will go and eat breakfast at the hotel. Students will be given lots of food and a bunch of free time to roam around and buy awesome souvenirs. The students will be safe because there will be a lot of chaperone's and at night in the hotel, there will be guards by their doors.
On March 26, students are leaving New York. When students get to El Paso airport, the bus will bring all students to Lynn Middle School. Students will probably sleep all weekend to recover from this amazing trip!

8TH GRADE STUDENTS LAY DOWN THE LAW!
The following is a newsletter produced by the CRMS 8th grade student council:
WHO ARE WE?
The 8th grade Student Council was selected by our peers and teachers to come up with a plan to decrease disciplinary write-ups for this semester. On Friday, January 30th we also talked about why so many write-ups existed.
A meeting with our 8th grade teachers was held on Tuesday, February 3rd, to present our ideas. A good discussion came out of this with agreement that a new disciplinary plan for 8th graders needed to be introduced starting Friday, February 9th.
Beginning today, all category A writeups will now be written as category B. During in-team suspension, you will fill out a special packet. For ITS, teachers may move us around from class to class if they deem that to be necessary and appropriate for our learning.
All misbehavior for a substitute will immediately go to a category C writeup. That means the student will be sent home. This is due to the number of writeups for misbehaving for a substitute we have created since last semester.
As we move from one class to another, we will not be tardy. We need to make it to class on time and stop the tardies.
This plan is in effect for all 8th graders. Please think before you act. Our teachers are putting lots of work and effort in making our 8th grade celebration (prom) take place. They are spending lots of hours after school working concessions and working karaoke during lunch to raise money for this. They want to know we truly want and deserve it.
HOW CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR IDEAS AND INPUT?
We are going to start something new at CRMS. A suggestion box will be placed in each 8th grade teacher's classroom so you can give us your opinions and ideas to bring up for our next meeting. We want to make our school better!
