Congratulations to all of the students who made the honor roll for the first nine week
period. The faculty and staff know how challenging the work is at Taylor and to make
the honor roll is a huge accomplishment. We enjoy celebrating your academic
successes, and we can't wait to do it again next nine weeks. A big thank you goes to the
office staff and custodians, Ms. Kathy, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Stephanie, and Ms. Tammy, who
did all of the behind the scenes work to make these ceremonies happen. We couldn't
pull it off without them! Please see a list
of all of the students who made the
honor roll further down in this
newsletter.
It was great to see all of our dads at the
annual Donuts with Dad event. We had
a great time visiting with all of our dads
and taking pictures. We can't wait
to visit with our moms at Muffins with
Mom in the spring.
PARCC preliminary scores were
released last week and our Taylor
Tigers shined again! Student reports will
be released November 9. Since this is a
new type of assessment, the Louisiana Department of Education has released many
different resources to help parents navigate and understand these new reports. We
have the resources posted on our web site. If you have any questions please don't
hesitate to contact us.
Interim reports will be sent home on Friday, November 13. Please ask your child for
this important document. The second nine week period will end with exams, which are
worth 25% of the final grade. Please make sure your child is prepared to take each
exam. The exam schedule is posted above.

Lines from the Librarian Elizabeth Kahn
October at PFTSTA means Teen READ
Week in the library. The students had a
great time visiting the library every day at
lunch to participate in a different activity.
The winners of the bookmark contest
were high school junior, Chau Nguyen,
and her sister Thuan Nguyen in 8th grade.
You can see the bookmarks online and
many pictures from the week on the
library website here: http://bit.ly/
pftstaTRW2015. If you would like your
own copy of the bookmark, you can pick
one up from the library.
The Book Fair is Coming, The Book Fair is Coming!
This year’s library book fair will open on Monday,
November 9th and close at the end of the day on
Thursday, November 12th. All students will have a
scheduled time to visit the library for this event,
and the library will be open for shopping during
both of the scheduled grandparents’ breakfasts on
Tuesday and Thursday. On Tuesday, November
10th, the library will remain open until 4PM. There
will be an online book fair running from now until
Sunday, November 15th, and any books purchased
online will be shipped to the school. You can find
the online fair here: bit.ly/PFTSTAbookfair2015.
FYI: Most books will cost between $5.99 and $9.99
and no tax is charged. For payment, the library will
accept cash, checks, and credit cards.

offers an Online Manu-
al and Tutorials.
Yeggi and Thingverse provide shared 3D models for inspiration or to download.
te@chthought recommends these 24 unique maker education resources teaching learn-
ing.

Middle School SGA News
Angela Guthrie What a great month
for school spirit!
First, the Middle
School SGA was
busy promoting the
school spirit shirts.
The 6th grade’s
newly elected color
was mint green, and
we can’t wait to see
them show off their
spirit once they
come in! Watch
Paw Prints for more
information on their
delivery; we should
hopefully have them
soon!
As always the Freaky Friday dance was a ton of spooky fun! Thanks go out to our fabulous
DJ, Mark Parfait, chaperoning teachers, Ms. Grindstaff, Ms. Duckworth, and Ms. Va-
lence, and of course all of the parent chaperones as well. Many students participated in the
costume contest, and we had a lot of great entries. The top three costumes were awarded,
in no particular order, to 6th grader Austin Pellegrin as Left Shark, 7th grader Ava
Lincoln as Rosie
the Riveter, and 7th
grader Evan Scully
as Marty McFly. Our
next dance will not
be until next
semester; watch Paw
Prints for more
information as it
becomes available.

Finally, the Middle School SGA
also helped out with this year’s
Red Ribbon Week. Students
participated in a different drug
and alcohol free themed activity
each day at lunch. Some of the
activities included face painting,
a limbo tournament, and signing
a pledge to stay drug free! It
was a great week and we were
happy to see our students
engage in these experiences.

Technology is transforming the world and will continue to do so in ways we can only imagine. The federal
government created ConnectED in order to arm students in the United States with the tools and skills they
will need in order to be completive in a global economy and successful in the digital age. Toward this end,
they have partnered with major software manufacturers like Microsoft and Autodesk to offer free software
to students.
Autodesk
Autodesk, a leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software, is currently free for teachers and
students. Autodesk Inventor Professional and 3ds Max are great tools for developing 3D models that can
then be printed with our MakerBot Replicator 2. Visit Autodesk’s Education Community Free Soft-
ware for Students page to view and download available programs and software suites.
Microsoft DreamSpark
Microsoft DreamSpark offers students professional-level developer and designer tools like Visual Studio and
Kodu Game Lab. For a full list of available software, go to the DreamSpark Student Software Catalog.
Students will need to create an account and verify their student status before downloading.
YouthSpark, Microsoft’s program dedicated to promoting computer science education is also worth
checking.

Esri also provides students with free access to ArcGIS, which allows students to map, analyze, and share
data. In order to access ArcGIS, your teacher will have to add you to a group.
P.S. The Hour of Code is coming, December 7 -13.
Theater and Speech News
Kenetha Harrington
It's been a busy year for the 8th grade Speech Students at Patrick Taylor. Early semester
work consisted of the students crafting demonstration speeches on various topics includ-
ing: How to speak Russian, how to make a volcano, and how to make gluten-free brown-
ies. This was a fun learning experience for all.
At the start of the second 9
weeks students learned about
special occasion speeches and
presented their own written
wedding toasts to their class-
mates.
Recently, students participated in
a debate project with positions
varying on issues such as foreign
aid and common core. Many of
the debates were moving and
impactful. Currently, students
are learning persuasive speaking
techniques and look forward to
working on more dramatic
assignments such as Readers
Theater and oral interpretation.
In addition to the eventful speech
classes, the Theatre students at
Patrick Taylor are gearing up for
the Fall Showcase that will take
place on December 10th. This
showcase will consist of a variety
of theatrical works including
monologues, scenes, and musical
performances. Tickets will go on
sale in early December.

NHS returned to Butler Elementary School on October 27th, and during this visit
members of NHS and SGA went to the school. President, Madison Pierce, created
a bingo game with agricultural and seafood products of Louisiana. The fourth grad-
ers had to figure out the answers to the clues she created before they could mark
their bingo card. It turned out to be a great activity, and the teachers in the class-
rooms were thrilled to have the older students there to provide the experience.

A Note from Maestro McCloskey
Brenda Hernandez and Tyler
Libert were named as Loyola
University Honor Band members.
T I D I
On November 8th and 14th Loyola University will be sponsoring the Loyola/Bourgeois Hon-
or Band. Colonel John R. Bourgeois, USMC (ret.) is the past director of The
President’s Own United States Marine Band in Washington DC.
The Loyola/Bourgeois Honor Band was established to
invite outstanding high school
student musicians to perform with the Loyola Wind En-
semble with and to benefit from Colonel Bourgeois’ ex-
pertise.
Tyler Libert and Brenda Hernandez have been appointed
to this prestigious ensemble. This is quite an opportunity
for them to be under the direction of one of the most
preeminent Maestros in American history.
The concert will be held at 3:00PM at Roussel Hall on Loyola’s campus. Everyone is
encouraged to attend the concert. It will be fantastic!
On Saturday October 5, 2015 the band had the honor of participating in the Tulane
University Marching Band Day. This year Tulane University squared off against the
University of Central Florida. The Patrick F. Taylor Band performed at half time with other
area schools and the Tulane University Marching Band.

A big thank you to all of the parents who chaperoned: Maggie Grindstaff, Richard Esneault, Shane Steinkamp,
Vincent Silva, and Erin Wallace. Everyone was a huge help. I thank you all.
Just a reminder to all the sixth grade students interested in joining band: beginning band will be offered during
the spring semester. Come by or stop me on campus and introduce yourself. I want to meet everyone before
next semester. In December, I will send home information concerning beginning band. The most important
thing to remember is that there’s no experience necessary.
Our after school practice schedule for band members (except beginners) is as follows:
Tuesdays — all wind instruments
Wednesdays — full band
Thursdays — percussion
Honor band auditions are in the beginning of January. Everyone interested in auditioning must let me know
soon. Now is the time to get your audition material and start preparing. Come by the band room if you need
your audition music.
That’s all the news I have for now. I look forward to seeing all students and parents around campus.
Sincerely,
John J. McCloskey Band Director
ACT Help After School
Cheryl Bordelon
From late September to early November, Taylor offered test prep sessions after school. Over twenty stu-
dents—from freshmen to seniors--gave up an hour of their after school time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to
work on test taking strategies, especially those designed to raise ACT Reading section scores.
Ms. Meghan Ritter and Ms. Cheryl Bordelon introduced the same methods taught by top test prep. companies
and guided students in practice pieces. In the final two weeks, students who were regular attendees requested
help with their individual trouble areas, so the emphasis on reading shifted to the Science and Language
sections of the ACT.
More sessions will be offered next semester, so watch Paw Prints for information. Also, if parents would like
literature on what they can do to help their sons and daughters achieve their best personal scores, they
should contact Cheryl Bordelon [email protected].
PowerSkills
Kelly Maher
Since the last update, students in PowerSkills
learned about networks and the Internet,
and created infographics related to cyber
bullying, cyber safety and/or computer
security. In addition, they explored some of
the more advanced features of Microsoft
Word by creating an MLA template for their
Social Studies Fair Project, a poster, a news-
letter, and a table maze. Students also
started a Stock Market Project in Excel, and
actively investi-
gated the
conductivity of a
variety of every-
day objects
using our new
MaKey MaKeys.
They are
currently
learning to code
with SCRATCH,
a programming language
created at MIT’s Media Lab,
specifically for students ages
8-14, and will integrate their
SCRATCH programs with
the MaKey MaKeys in order
to create a rock band and
interactive classroom. We
will end the semester with a
unit on video creation and
editing.

Time Out for Nachos
Linda Patrick
Star Tigers are students who have been recognized by staff members for showing the ideal behaviors our
school has established. These are represented by the “TIGERS” letters: Thoughtful, Independent, Global
thinking, Engaged in learning, Responsible, and Serious about technology. Every Friday nominated students are
awarded with a Spirit Monkey and group photo with Ms. Zapico.
At the end of the quarter the students who have been recognized as Star Tigers during the quarter are re-
warded with a Time Out. They get time off from a fourth period class to have a treat and relax with their
peers. The first quarter MS and HS Time Outs were held October 20th and 21st. Nachos were enjoyed by all
the Star Tigers who had been nominated during the first quarter. This was about 280 students! Q1 Star Tigers
are listed below.
