<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Messmer track and field team is closing in on the end of
the season. They have shown great talent and have impressed at many different
events. There has been good competition this year bringing the best out of the
athletes. As the season continues,
the team gets better as they improve their personal bests. Senior Denzel Taylor
says that “track is a good way to stay in shape, and the good competition helps
with motivation.” Senior Justino Rodriquez stated that, “the season is
difficult at times, but it helps bring out the best in what we do.” </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">5.4.12. Halfway through the baseball season, our Messmer Bishops are
showing a good display of sportsmanship, cooperation, and teamwork. Even though
the team hasn’t picked up a win, coaches and players are confident that it
won’t remain that way. “I am
hopeful that we can turn a page and start writing a new chapter for this program.
We have the potential to win some games, and I believe we will win,” says Messmer Computer Teacher and Coach
Chad Hofmann. Last year only losing one senior meant bringing back a lot of players, which gives the team some experience. Hofmann added, “We
are a more experienced group than last year, and because of that more talented.” </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The team is lead by Senior Myles Childs, a 2010-11 All-Conference player. Childs
also is confident that the team’s bad luck will turn around. “We will slowly get
better and win a few games toward the end of the year. We will get better but
only with more practice,” Childs said. When asked about the thing that most
surprised them, they both commented on freshman Raymund Pierce. Raymund is leading the team with a
(.611) batting average, ranking second in the conference. Myles had this to say about Pierce,
“He’s a definite help to the team, I can see he will lead Messmer by his senior
year.” Coach Hofmann added,
“We’ve had some positives, including excellent play from freshman Raymund Pierce.”
The team will keep progressing and getting better, and is confi<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4844884147941355685" name="_GoBack"></a>dent that it will show with a win against Milwaukee King
tonight, and Milwaukee Madison tomorrow.</span></div>

The Office of Multicultural Arts Initiatives (OMAI) sponsors an annual Teen Poetry Slam Contest. Founded in 2005, OMAI is a unit of the Office of the Vice Provost for Diversity and Climate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. OMAI provides culturally relevant and transformative arts programming to promote positive social dialogue and to give cultural art forms a legitimate academic forum. Messmer was represented by Senior Denzel Taylor at this year's Slam Contest, and after winning locally, was one of 6 from the state to win a spot in the national contest this summer. The competition, entitled "Brave New Voices" takes place in California in July. Denzel's original poems "99 in Greater Than 1" and "Virus" catapulted him to the top of his game, and won him a ticket to the Bay Area. Messmer's Spoken Word Club is led by Theology Teacher Mr. Jason Gonzalez with the help of Spanish Teacher Ms. Jamie Kramer. Denzel feels Mr. Gonzalez is very encouraging, gives great advice, and doesn't sugar coat anything. He says, "I couldn't have won without him." </div>

</style><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The stage play “No Child...” by Nilaja Sun is very touching and heartfelt. Play Director and Messmer Music Teacher Mr. Greg Flattery chose this for the annual Fall Play, and believe it, the play was magical. The production captured the hearts of the audience, and could really have changed a lot of people’s outlooks on drama in the public schools</span>.</span></div>

</style><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sophomore Ishmael Ali had a role in the show and described his feelings, "Opening night was very nerve-wracking for everyone except me. Honestly I feel anytime I’m on a stage I’m the only one on the stage. I have to be the center of attention. To do that I have to be calm and relaxed, so opening night I was very prepared and ready to go.” </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When asked if there was any connection between himself and his character, Ishmael said, “Yes there are connections. My character Brian is a class clown so of course it was easy for me to relate. I wouldn’t say I’m a class clown, but I am very funny at times. So the fact that I was given that role was PERFECT!" He continued, "This play had a big effect on some students... some cried when the janitor died. My parents were the very proud for my achievement in this play, and that really made me appreciate my role a lot more." Ishmael did an amazing job in the play, and overcame many things to accomplish what he did.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Another actor who really took the stage by storm was Senior Radontae Ashford who did a fantastic job playing trouble-maker Jerome. When asked if there were any similarities between himself and Jerome, Radontae said, “There are huge similarities between me and my character...we are both troublemakers in the class room. I don’t like to admit it but I am a bit of a clown in class; I joke around with almost the whole class just as Jerome did in the play. I also have a short temper at times especially when a teacher tries to talk down to me. It causes me to react just like Jerome did in the play, the only difference is that I don’t throw chairs (ha-ha). Lastly just as Ms. Sun saw potential in Jerome, my teachers see potential in me.” </div>

</style><span style="font-family: "";"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Radontae was asked how the director, Mr. Flattery, helped prepare him for the play. “One thing he told me was to make sure I memorize my lines because forgetting them on stage can be a tragic situation. He also told me to be comfortable on stage as if it were another music performance, this way I would be able to relax and just let my lines come to me. Lastly the best advice I think he gave me was to be myself. He told me that he gave me the role of Jerome because the way I am in real life fits the character so well.” Radontae also said, “When I was chosen to be in the play I was completely shocked because I’ve never done a play before. My acting skills were terrible in my opinion and I felt like I wouldn’t be able to memorize all the lines. I even told Mr. Flattery that I rather not do the play and to let someone else who can act play the role of Jerome, but with a little pep talk from [Drama Teacher] Ms. [Maripat] Wilkinson and Mr. Flattery, I had the confidence to take on the challenge of being in the play." </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Radontae said this play has shown him that drama is extremely fun. "First I felt it was all corny and boring, but now my outlook has changed. My former drama teacher Ms. Wilkinson would tell me all the time that I should try it out and I would just down talk it all the time. Now that I listened to her I see exactly what she meant. Drama is a great way to bond with new people and is an overall great experience to have in life. With that lesson from her, I’ve really gained a new love for drama, and will consider doing another play. Now I realize It’s fun and it has also taught me a lesson in life. I feel there’s so much I took from this experience and that’s why I would be willing to do it again."<br />

Judging from what the cast and crew said about his directing, Mr. Flattery did an amazing job. He was more like a mentor to the students, and really helped them prepare for their roles. His support and guidance really pushed the students to deliver a brilliant play. Mr. Flattery reflected on the play's success, “I was very satisfied. You can always judge a show by how much ownership the cast has taken of the production, and they really took ownership of THEIR fall play. This was a play recommended by a friend named Marti Gobel. She talked to me about doing a play that would fit Messmer with its diversity of ethnicities.”</div>

</style><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mr. Flattery was also glad to see the turnout. “Usually, the plays don’t have many audience members, but this year the crowd really showed up. I believe the reason is because it was a play that connected with the population.” His goal is to have even more people attend in the future, and more students involved with theater. Mr. Flattery was asked if he thinks this play can open people eyes up about the power of drama, and he said, “Absolutely! I really think that it ended up being something the students connected with, and had them consistently asking when the next play was. So yes, it opened the eyes up to the students; seeing themselves doing a really good job showed them they can do anything.” The play's drama director character Ms. Sun would approve!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">11.18.11. The Broadcast Media classes combined today for a visit from Channel 12 News Reporter Mr. Jason Newton. Mr. Newton spoke about his life, career, and how to be successful in whatever field you choose. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Mr. Newton shared stories about the challenges and rewards of his job, and the importance of teamwork especially in high-pressure, tight deadline situations. One of the hardest things about his job is having to talk to families where tragedies have occurred, especially if they involve children. T</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">he best thing about what he does is being able to inform the public of things that help. A recent co-sleeping tragic story was hard to do, but an important one to share because the information could prevent other similar tragedies.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Mr. Newton gave the Messmer reporters several good tips to improve their interviewing and reporting skills. He emphasized the importance of open-ended questions, research, language, and surprise. He said he tries to keep the audience interested by engaging their emotions and senses through powerful pictures, sounds, and "sound bites" from those directly involved in the story.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To end the day, students elected to watch a movie in the auditorium or dance and socialize in the gym. A highlight to the gym time was when more than 1/2 of the students and faculty joined together to dance the "Cupid Shuffle." </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">As the end of the Cross Country season, the team reflected on its success. There were some challenges that created barriers for good performance. One was described by Coach William Gunderson, “I wish we
didn’t lose some of the runners, that hurt the team.” Even after that, the team
didn’t lose hope or focus; they just kept trying and improving their
times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It
was a good overall season for the runners, many of whom won medals for their hard work
and determination. When asked if the season could have gone better, Senior
Kenny Myatt said, “I think that there is always room for improvement, but the
team did well.” There were times when the team felt that things didn’t go
exactly as planned, but they always kept their heads up and worked as hard as
they could.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You
could tell that the team always supported each other and gave each other
advice. Sophomore Anthony Williams said, “I was greatly impressed by the effort

returning runners and off season training.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">Approximately 50 students spent the day at Marquette University recently to check out the Communications Department and get a feel for college life. The field trip included hands-on activities for the students. One of the highlights was the Broadcast TV Studio. Messmer students took over the jobs of director, camera operator, on air reporter, switcher operator, floor director, and teleprompter operator. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">These were new experiences for many of the students, and a potential career path for some. Sophomore Precious Medley was enthusiastic about the field trip and said, "I enjoyed being behind the camera." </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The tour included the Journalism Department where the college students saw firsthand how the MU newspaper is put together. It was interesting to hear about all the job responsibilities, and how many times an article is read, edited, and rewritten before it makes it to print. Messmer students practiced being journalists by interviewing each other with tips from the MU students. Sophomore Itzia Gutierrez remarked, "We had learned how to interview in Broadcast Media class, but it was nice to learn more and interact with the college students."</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">The third activity was provided by the Theater Department. Drama exercises, games, and improvisation made for much creativity and fun. Senior Robert Thompson said, "It made me very energetic." </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">Messmer alumni who attend Marquette answered questions about college life, and gave good advice about admissions, preparation for college, and how to make the transition from high school. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">Jeffrey Cross, Justine Shorter, and Amelia Mitcham were great role models for the current high schoolers, and showed just how well Messmer prepares students for college.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">The day ended with brief presentations on admissions, financial aid, and other support programs MU offers</span>. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">When Senior Kaila Griffin "high-fived" Messmer Teacher Ms. Maripat Wilkinson on the bus ride home, it was clear the field trip to Marquette was a success.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Messmer High School was very fortunate to have the Resurrection
Dance Theater of Haiti perform for the school community recently. The dance company consisted of
young men plucked from the streets of
Haiti, rescued from sleeping on cardboard boxes and severe abuse. To see these
young men dance with so much enthusiasm and spirit was amazing. During the
introduction the audience was told that due to the conditions of the country,
the average age in Haiti is fifteen. This fact was shocking to the audience and
made the students look at their own lives in comparison. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sophomore Timothy
McCollum described how the performance affected him, "It showed me how
people can go through things and still have faith in God, and it's amazing how
they can still give back to others." Sophomore Travess Stone learned
"Not to complain about what I don't have and just be thankful." Three fantastic drummers accompanied the dancers, and the youngest dancer, DiDi, 13, was
featured in a number about life on the streets of Haiti. Senior Tierra Watson
was brought up on stage to be a part of this performance. She said, "I had
a good time up there protecting DiDi. I've never been pulled up on stage
before--it was fun!" </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; font-size: small;">DiDi was asked how he got to be such a good dancer.
He said, "Hard work and more hard work." The entire performance was
outstanding and received a standing ovation. Messmer is grateful to have had the
Resurrection Dance Theater of Haiti perform, inform, and entertain. See the video at top left of DiDi in action.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">"Anything you can do I can do
better" is a popular phrase. However, when speaking
about the new editions to the Messmer/Shorewood football team, it might be more
appropriate to say, “Anything you can do, I can do also.” </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Messmer/Shorewood Varsity Football, also known as Messwood, is proud to have female
Seniors Aereana Grandberry and Montyera Hale on the team. Their experience with
the team is new, but they show the same dedication as the boys. Grandberry
mentioned how they often hear comments from opposing teams, such as “Oh my God,
that’s a girl!” “Are they serious?” and “Is she playing for real?” Grandberry
feels the experience has been positive and said, “The [Messwood] boys encourage us and
help us out a lot." </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">As many can guess, Grandberry and
Hale are under a lot of pressure as the only two girls on the team--and in the league. Hale said, “Yes, it was [at first] intimidating, but we [girls]
have to stick together. In the end the boys have really helped us fit in
and feel a part of the team.” The girls are really making a statement this year. They are working with their teammates to
grow and achieve success this season under new Head Coach Mr. Drake Zortman and Defensive Coach Mr. Chad Hofmann. There are no female coaches--yet.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Every
year Messmer welcomes incoming freshman and transfer students into our family.
Freshman Isioma Osademe said, “[Messmer] is a very different
environment. I was nervous at first but I am OK now." These students learn that
we are a family and stick together. One way we show our unity is through the Wednesday prayer services when we come
together to worship
God.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Drake Zortman is the new head football coach for the Messmer/Shorewood football team. People may know him as the fourth coach of the program, but he has a larger background that may go unnoticed. Coach Zortman has more than 20 years of coaching experience under his belt. He has coached at his Alma Mater Carroll University, as well as Waukesha West, Whitefish Bay, Nicolet, and Homestead high schools. He has also been recognized by CNI newspapers with an honorable mention for coach of the year in 2003.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Mr. Zortman has his Masters in Education from National Louis University. He uses his teaching skills as a math teacher at both Messmer and Shorewood high schools. When asked what he admires most about coaching, he said he likes “watching the athletes grow into young adults and I like to think that I’m doing it the right way.” He, along with the coaching staff, takes pride in building character and teaching discipline. Coach Zortman also admires “seeing kids not just be successful on the athletic field but seeing them be successful in the classroom.” He likes to see the success of the students in the community and to watch them grow into good parents themselves. </span></div>

The Honors Seminar was two days of tours, lectures, networking, and growth. Messmer Seniors Rosaelena Fetes and Lillian Rodezno have been to the seminar many times. Lilly said, "[The Honors Seminar] sets you up for the upcoming challenges in college." Rosy said, "It gets you recognized. It shows that you took harder classes and still balanced [your grades] enough to keep at least a 3.2 average. It [also] helps with your future."</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRYNAVmveUUO4cHfif0szSeCRn42SrG0MdFvelCo_piAy1XdXg1LC8oNWQ1MF6lH2TyChZAzvXUUiXBTVtm_xSh0IaTFngb9BzlHvNCFJXpMNahTYEWqR26QDcErSjf3qoXP2FX5NQXEA/s1600/102_1490.JPG"><img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658359647753460834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRYNAVmveUUO4cHfif0szSeCRn42SrG0MdFvelCo_piAy1XdXg1LC8oNWQ1MF6lH2TyChZAzvXUUiXBTVtm_xSh0IaTFngb9BzlHvNCFJXpMNahTYEWqR26QDcErSjf3qoXP2FX5NQXEA/s320/102_1490.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" border="0" /></a><span style=";font-family:'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;font-size:small;">Both students said they loved the lecture presented by Messmer English Teacher Mr. Tim Gallagher, the tour [of Marquette], and the food. Mr. Gallagher wants the students to know the sole purpose of the seminar is to help them think about things differently, engage, and approach events from a higher level of thinking. This year the sophomore class has 35 students in the honors program, the largest number ever for Messmer. These students are setting the bar high for the rest of the school and setting themselves up for success.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg71EYLd0aJL3IzxUTfj0VSfpwAr1yJFz56zOGI9yUY0bC360I7FNw0S6fpNzHre1f5lko-ehih9ip2MDuvl4MaX__skhuCX-4UiqEw04TyWrqBKZDyovOcaX0_xv0lUa_rpc1xOCwoLg0/s1600/School+Pictures+113.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg71EYLd0aJL3IzxUTfj0VSfpwAr1yJFz56zOGI9yUY0bC360I7FNw0S6fpNzHre1f5lko-ehih9ip2MDuvl4MaX__skhuCX-4UiqEw04TyWrqBKZDyovOcaX0_xv0lUa_rpc1xOCwoLg0/s400/School+Pictures+113.JPG" border="0" height="190" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>See Slide Show at left for more pictures.</b></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844884147941355685.post-86888765370756217142011-09-29T09:01:00.000-07:002011-09-29T09:29:37.801-07:00Fall Play Announced<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Mr. Flattery, affectionately (and appropriately) known as Mr. G-Flat, says he is "blown away by all the talent here at Messmer," which he sees daily in his band and choir classes, as well as after school through Guitar Club and After School Choir. The annual talent production, </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;">Show of Shows,</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> he says, "is a highlight that shows the range of talent we have here." Though proud of the 100 students currently participating in music at Messmer High, he'd like to double that number.</span> <link href="file://localhost/Users/mwilkinson/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip/0clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"></link> <link href="file://localhost/Users/mwilkinson/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip/0clip_themedata.xml" rel="themeData" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"></link> <style>
