To: KIDPROJ@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU
We are Mrs. Papailiou's 6th Grade Enrichment Class from Beers Street
Middle School in Hazlet, New Jersey. Hazlet is located in central New
Jersey, just 5 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and a forty minute ride
from New York City. Our school mascot is the Beers Street Bulldog. We
have 350 students in our school, grades six to eight.
We have many extra curricular activities here at Beers Street. These
include Yearbook Staff, Newspaper Staff, Student Council, Natural
Helpers, and Odyssey of the Mind (OM). Our school's athletic program
includes boys and girls socer and basketball, boys baseball, girls
softball, and girls cheerleading squad.
New Jersey's nickname is the "Garden State" Our state bird is the
eastern goldfinch, and our state flower is the purple violet. Our
state's name comes from the Channel Isle of Jersey. We rank first in
population density. Here in New Jersey we have four distinctive
seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
New Jersey is host to a number of sports teams. Some of these teams
actually have a "New York" nam, but play in New Jersey. For example,
the Giants, the Jets, and the Metrostars all play their home games in
the Meadowlands, in northern New Jersey. Many of us are also Rangers,
Islanders, Devils, Knicks, Nets, Yankees, and Mets fans.
We look forward to joining all of you in playing the Landmark Game.
