Alex Miller, a 6th grader, just returned from a visit to Florida. The purpose of his visit was to watch a family friend, Eric Boe, go up in space. Alex was interested when watching the shuttle. Alex says the pilots have to sit for a long time until returning to ground. Alex was once in SEMA but it is finished. Alex wouldn't like to be an astronaut because there is no oxygen or gravity in space and it's cold.
In other news, two sisters at Camino are advocagtes for animals outside of school. the first sister, Brook, is in 6th grade. She volunteers Saturdays and shows dogs for adoption. Brook signed her sister up to volunteer. Her sister learned to love volunteering as well. People at the Humane Office email Brook times and dates she can volunteer. Anyone can sign up if they are over 13 years old. If you're under 13 you need an adult to go with you. Brook volunteers because she has a strong feeling for dogs. She also likes the variety of animals at the shelter like horses, bunnies, and cats. A dream of Brook's is to become a vet. When she asked to go to work for her family vet, the vet said not until she was 16 and suggested volunteering instead. The vet gave her details for volunteering around town.
Now lets talk about her sister Blair. Blair is in 7th grade at Camino. She is also an advocate for animals because it is fun and she thinks it is cool. The biggest message she would like to get across to people about animals is that people at the animal shelter need their help. Animal treatment takes time. A dog has to get used to the owner and the owner gets used to the dog. A new shelter would be a good change for animals, she said. If you're interested in volunteering, you can sign up at the Farmer's Market on Saturdays.

Guess Who?
by Ericka Sanchez
This person was born in Pennsylvania and went to middle school at Philimathian Middle School (?) They went to college at NMSU and got a degree in elementary education. They also were a licensed EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) and radiologist (person who works the x-ray machine). Wow! This person can do a lot of really valuable things! They love the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team and they like to go hunting, fishing, camping and they also like to rebuild motorcycles.
This person really admires Martin Luther King, Jr., the U.S. presidents, anyone who has served in the military for the U.S., and Desmond Tutu (look him up!) He has traveled through Europe, the Orient, and Australia. His favorite vacation place, though is Moorea where he likes to relax, fish, and EAT! And speaking of eating, he loves Mexican food and Rocky Road ice cream.
He plays football, baseball, and rugby. He also wrestles, runs track, and boxes (he sounds like a tough guy!)
Before he came to Camino, he worked in landscaping and the military. He also built boats and worked in ambulances.
WHO IS HE? Answer the poll at the right hand side of this article...

Mrs. Armijo, the Thespian
by Melanie Camacho
Mrs. Armijo is an 8th grade language arts teacher here at Camino Real. She's also an actress in local theater. She's currently practicing her script for her upcoming play, "Single and Proud". This play is about singles dating in New York and Mrs. Armijo stars in this play with three other actors. This show plays at the Las Cruces Community Theater on October 25th.
When it comes to acting, "It's the greatest thing ever," Armijo said. She likes to stay in a play as often as she can. She started acting when she was in first grade. She was in "Jack and the Beanstalk" and she was a magical Mexican jumping bean. When people laughed at what she did, it seemed like the thing she was supposed to do with her life. Acting is something she does for herself, she says.
To get into a play, Armijo goes online and puts her name on a list. When shows are available, an email is sent to her with a script and scenes. Her favorite play is "Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare. She has taught this play and been in it as well. Her favorite part of acting is when she nails every line and gets it right.
Mrs. Armijo has been in about 20 plays. Her newest play will be her fourth play in Las Cruces. Sometimes she acts at the Black Box Theater. Other plays she's been in are "Baby with the Bathwater" and "What I Did Last Summer".
