UNDER THE MLS STARS
by Aseel Tarek

I will begin my account of this year’s Middle School camp with the absolute highlight of the whole
event: the water balloon fight. Oh that was the most fun! First we were made to line up to pick
our water balloons and then, once all of us were nicely armed, the craziness began: water was
splashing everywhere, with all of us popping our water balloons at each other and having a blast
making a mess.

Obviously, we needed to change our wet clothes. Once dry and tidy, we were given some time
to hang out together, joke around with the teachers and munch on some of the snacks we’d brought
along. Soon enough, the sun was gone and then it was time for bouncy slides and trampoline action
(with some popcorn and cotton candy). Grades 6 went first, then Grade 7, then 8. While Grade 6
bounced and jumped, Grades 7 and 8 played tug-of-war; first each grade against each other in two
teams, and then against the teachers -- which was really fun.

All this spent energy left us starving. To keep our stomachs from rumbling too loudly until the
pizza ordered by the school arrived, most of us ordered some other fast food in the meantime!
Warm, snug and fed, we settled down for a movie which some students enjoyed while others
thought was too long.

I asked a sixth grader about her experience, since this was her first camp. She had a blast,
she said, “It was so much fun! The games where amazing and the movie was interesting but the
food was cold.” I also interviewed my Grade 7 friends who shared the same opinion. Like me, they
preferred the water balloon fight
above all. They were upset with
the cafeteria, however, saying
that the regular daily pasta we
get at break is better than the
one they prepared on that day.
A girl from 7B hoped the school
would set up a suggestion box
for next year’s camp.

MLS GIVES BACK AGAIN

It isn’t a novelty for MLS to be a pioneering leader when it comes to humanitarian projects,
especially with orphans. This winter, the Orphans’ Day that was jointly planned by Middle and High
school students was a big success. Orphans from a nearby orphanage in 6 October City were invited
to spend a day at MLS, fun-packed with McDonald’s happy meals, ice cream cones and inflatable
castles and slides. This initiative was set by the class of 6C in particular who, with the leadership
of their social studies teacher Ms. Hend Bedeir, and the activities director Ms. Deena Seleem, were
able to give both the orphans and students alike a day to remember and cherish! Giving back is, in
fact, the biggest reward of all!

54

WE BOO BELIEVE IN GHOSTS!

Preparations for Halloween are always a tiring yet inspiring effort from the art department. Every
detail, every bat, every web and ghost piece is skillfully crafted and placed across the corridors by
our art teachers for us to enjoy all through the week preceding the event.
On the day of the Halloween party, students and teachers got into their costumes, put on
their scary makeup and it was show time at the school stadium. The smells of the delicious food
and Fawzy’s barbeque, mixed with the sights of the most innovative costumes, were definitely an
experience not to be missed. However, without question the highlight of the whole event was Ms.
Deena Seleem’s dancing with the students, which was a blockbuster hit in itself!

AN OASIS OF FUN
by Selim El Hinnawi

We, the Middle School students, descended on Tunis Village in the Fayoum Oasis for an overnight
school trip. We stayed at a very comfortable and inviting back-to-basics hotel called Sobek Lodge.
The other students I spoke to all agreed with me that it would be great to return there again. We
were all bonding together and having fun; I even made a couple of new friends there. I have to say
I’m really surprised that I didn’t hold my phone there at all!
One of the activities planned for us was sand-boarding. The sand dunes were slippery and
the wind was acting up, but all in all it was pretty fun despite all the falls – or maybe thanks to
them. Some students also went horseback riding, and all of them returned with repeated accounts
of how amazing it was, so we’ll just take their word for it. We also had the choice to do pottery on
a traditional wheel with mud clay, which might sound boring but was actually unexpectedly fun.
We also went to Dr. Mohamed Soliman’s house in Tunis where we played soccer, American football,
archery, and so many other games that I can’t even remember them all.
We all want to thank Ms. Deena Seleem, our Activities Director, and Dr. Mohamed Soliman,
the greatest principal I have ever seen. Thank you both for your hard work to give us a fun time.
We greatly enjoyed the trip and really appreciate it!

...AND BACK TO

The basic unit of life

In the world of Biology, the cell’s importance cannot be overemphasized; the understanding of
its composition and function, cannot be overrated. That’s why Grade 10C students carried out a
number of various activities during Semester One, all centered on the cell.
For example, as seen in the pictures, one activity had the students cut and paste the cell
parts and their names, along with their functions, that form an animal or a plant cell.
In another activity, students in groups created 3D cells of both animal and plant cells out of
materials and types of models of their choosing. Such engaged students doing so much learning!
Thank you Ms. Nouran El-Maraghy.

60

THE CLASSROOMS

61

Cheeky biology

Taking learning to a higher level, Ms Nouran El-
Maraghy’s 10C Biology students prepared animal
and plant cells in the school lab. Where did
they get the cells from, you ask? Well, the plant
cells they extracted from onions and their inner
cheeks provided the second variety. Dissections,
frogs’ legs, cows’ eyes, and now student cheeks –
this lab has seen it all! Just kidding. The students
actually extracted those cells by wiping their
inner cheeks with a wooden spatula. Nothing
gory to get excited about, but still much learning
for the class to discuss!

62

No game of chance

Divided into six groups of four, Grade 10C students
each received five cards with which to play
dominoes. Of course there’s a catch: each card
bears a definition as well as a keyword belonging
to the Biology terms and processes studied
during the week. The aim of the activity was for
the groups to play until all the cards with each
group’s four students were arranged to match
one another, like in dominoes. What a great way
to wrap up a lesson before moving on to the next!

63

The color of learning

In order to check for their understanding, Grade 10C Biology teacher Ms. Nouran El-Maraghy asked her
students to create magazine-like flip cards recapping what they learned in the Passive Transport lesson.
Carried out in pairs, the in-class assessment involved cutting, pasting and coloring – which is always a
soothing activity at any age – but the juice, of course, was in the questions which had to be answered
correctly. Judging from the photos, this looks like a class with a wonderful learning environment!

64

Fallen creatures

Divided into groups in Environmental Science class, Grade 11 students created a timeline of
important milestones and animals that became extinct. Each student then presented his/her animal
and explained the reason and the process that led to its extinction.

65

Environmentally friendly

In order to reinforce the concepts explained,
encourage collaborative work, teach students
how to listen to one another and accept
opposing opinions, in addition to enhancing
research skills and the ability to communicate
opinions in an organized manner, our
Environmental Studies teacher organized a
debate between Grade 11 students from class
B and class C around the agricultural and
industrial revolutions.

But talking well isn’t everything, and
actually cannot be properly accomplished
without first developing the ability to listen
well and infer information – and that objective
explains the pictures depicting the students
answering a set of questions with answers
found in the video screened in class. Thank
you Ms. Nouran El-Maraghy!

66

The chemistry of love

Young chemists in Grade 11 carried out qualitative analysis of ionic compounds at the school lab
during Semester One. Chemistry is never a joke, but with our very own chemistry teacher dubbed
“wa7sh el kemya” the challenge takes on a whole new proportion. Thank you Ms. Maie Shalaby!

What’s in a picture?

Our students study Business in Grade
11, and that means they get to explore
all kinds of otherwise dry topics in the
most engaging way.
First, each Grade 11 class
was divided into four groups, two
representing Free Trade and two
representing Protectionism. Relying on
the Internet, the Free Trade groups had
to research one of the trade alliances
discussed in class (reason behind it,
countries involved, world impact).

The Protectionism groups had to research trade barriers and dig up interesting facts. Both
groups then visualized and drew a picture representing their topic, choosing from a variety
of techniques. But whether realistic or abstract, the artwork had to be explained to the
classroom. And this was just Step One!
Step Two consisted in preparing for and engaging in an informal 40-minute debate, discussing
the advantages and disadvantages of free trade versus protectionism with the following points
to be considered: infant industries, variety and quality of goods; employment of labor.

67

No child’s play

Under the innocent label of creating a game, Grade 12 students were once again confronted with a
super challenging task in Economics class.
Working in groups of five, the students were tasked with creating games that would help younger
students understand and learn all of the 52 basic terms and concepts of economics covered in Unit
One – yes, 52!

The project was implemented in two stages: first, students researched and read about the
nature of economics. They worked on designing their games using textbooks, the Internet, the
library or any other appropriate resource to gather information. Next came the final version of the
game, including the board, pieces, cards, money and any other necessary component, including
writing clear instructions on how to play it.

When our Economics teacher requests that a game be designed, you can be sure that thetask
will be grandiose. Thank you Ms. Shahira Sadek!

68

A family affair

Grade 12 students had to decide
on one of the social institutions
they scrutinized in Sociology class
(such as family, economy, politics,
religion, education and mass media),
to research their development and
impact on Egyptian society. They
were requested to share their
research findings with the rest
of the class through PowerPoint
presentations. Nada Tawfik and
Farah Adel, for example, chose
to describe the norms in which
marriage patterns are organized
around the world as well as the needs
covered by the institution of family.
We provide you with a peep at some
of their slides displayed here. Thank
you Ms. Marijana Bugaric!

“Suspend the rules”

In formal attire and armed with official terminology, seniors enrolled in the Global Politics and
Comparative Governments class engaged in a dynamic political simulation. Herself acting out the
role of Press Secretary in the simulation, student Hania Salama’s assignment was presenting an
official report of the event, seen printed below. Thank you Ms. Nabila Fattouh!

“We’ve witnessed a tough competition between candidates Laila Shoukry and Youssef Nasser.
Republican Laila Shoukry became the newest US President after elections ended Thursday, 22
November, 2018. Shoukry defeated her opponent, Democrat Youssef Nasser, by exactly one vote.
After the results came in, Shoukry held a simulation at The Capitol, Washington D.C., to announce
her victory and thank her opponent who became the Vice President. After listening to the national
anthem, President Shoukry pronounced her oath, followed by Youssef Nasser.

On November 26th at The Capitol, where President Laila Shoukry held the simulation, she
passed her first bill which was “Addressing the unemployment issue by providing subsidies to local
or small businesses”. Shoukry claimed that the unemployment rate was rising and that in order
to reduce it we must provide subsidies to local and small businesses. Shoukry then passed her
second bill immediately after the first one was authorized. The second bill stated “Reducing taxes
on business to boost the economy”, which I honestly find beneficial and, if applied, would “boost”
the economy, as she said. Reducing taxes will encourage people to open their own business and
especially if the government funded them at first as a source of support.

States won’t always remain as calm and stable; there must be conflicts. The congress always
passes bills to the president and have them approved or vetoed. The congress passed six bills on
November 26th but the sixth one, “Legalizing gay marriages”, ignited the conflict. As a Republican,
how would President Shoukry react towards the sixth bill? Will she approve or will she veto?

Our press secretary did her best to attend the simulation where President Shoukry took her
decision: “No, I would not legalize or encourage gay marriages because it’s an unnatural state.
I don’t like it and I’m not with the idea but, since Congress already voted, I’m going to have to
pass it. It would cause a riot in the US, so I won’t risk it,” stated President Shoukry to a round
of applause. “I am with the president in not preferring to legalize gay marriages because they’re
immoral,” said Vice President Nasser.

We all heard about the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and we have different opinions,
but what does the president of the United States say? President Shoukry stated her opinion freely
about Iran launching an airstrike on Saudi Arabia saying: “I will support Saudi Arabia as I’m already
supporting it in its war with Yemen. I will definitely do the same thing and help it defend its region
from Iran. I will support it by funding and sending weapons.”

Not all Congress members agreed to the president’s statement, but the majority approved and
supported her decision anyways.

70

I honestly think that President Shoukry is mindfully aware of what she’s doing, and the
decisions she is taking. The simulation was a major success; it created history and managed to
place US interests first. Way to a powerful state with President Shoukry!”

Press Secretary: Hania Salama

Career opportunities

Just as the conditions of the job market continue to require potential employees to write up
their CVs and motivation letters, and require employers to announce job openings and write up
job descriptions, so too does the Business class continue to require Grade 11 students to learn all
about the job application process by simulating these two roles. In truth, it is a grand moment
for us all to behold our juniors splendidly clad in full formal attire on the annual Employment Fair
activity. This year, our Career Counselor Ms. Doaa Naguib also dedicated two classes to coach
students in essential body language skills in an interview. What a difference a simple hand-shake
can make when you approach that employer for the first time. We will let the photos speak for
themselves. Thank you Ms. Shereen Touny!

73

A ship of ideas

Grade 7 students in Quarter One
studied the sad topic of examining the
effects of global warming on one aspect
or population of our planet. Three
stations each displayed one devastating
effect. Shown here is a product tackling
Antarctica’s penguins.

In Quarter Two, the students were
faced with 15 topics to choose from
and turn into individual products. The
picture printed here shows student
Farida Khaled’s choice of topic “Imagine
that you are an underwater archeologist
who has discovered the remains of a
merchant ship from era 4”. Thank you
Ms. Sarah Sherif!

Where in Canada?

Grade 8 students worked

in pairs in Social Studies

class to learn about the

settlement patterns and

ways of life in Canada by

playing a game!

They used Canada’s

map as the game board

to meet three objectives:

examine the population,

language, climate,

buildings, and economic

activity of each of the

five regions; explain how

location affects ways of life

in those five regions; and

evaluate the importance

of location on ways of life

around the world -- lots of

learning, lots of fun.

74

The drop that counts

We all have the power to
change the world. Every
day, millions of people, both
locally and globally, are
making an impact through
active campaigning. Inspired
by these ideas propagated
in their Social Studies class,
Grade 6 used the knowledge
they gained about water on
Earth to create an awareness
campaign promoting the
importance of saving water.
They presented various
interesting and creative
ideas through which to
promote the cause including
T-shirts, posters, water
bottles and even soap bars.
Thank you Ms. Hend Bedeir!

WINTER TURNS RED

When the end of the year starts to loom in with the fallen leaves and crisp weather, the smells
and sounds of the city also change. This, of course, is reflected on the MLS campus: from early
December, halls are decorated with “boughs of holly” where green wreaths and other Christmas
decoration come to life in our entrances, lobbies, and corridors. The actual party took place on the
last day of school before Winter Break and had all the usual MLS flair, spark and student shenanigans!

Our Marching Band Club members set up an impressive performance that stole the show. The
Middle and High School students were all over campus, mingling, socializing, and enjoying each
other’s company. Dr. Soliman’s burger stand was not to be missed, as always, with its aroma filling
the school courtyard. As for the big hit, it was none other than our very own Santa – courtesy of
our fun-loving and kind-hearted Senior Medhat Badrawy – with the students piling up in rows for a
photo with him, when not piling up on top of Santa himself!

OUR PRIDE AND GLORY
by Ms. Dina Yassin

The current academic year will witness the graduation of five students in the Special & Inclusive
Education Department from MLS’ American Division.

Two of those students have been at MLS since the elementary stage (one of whom even
since KG1) while the other three joined in Grade 10.

It has been such an inspirational journey filled with joy, excitement, as well as challenges.
As each child has his unique needs, points of strengths and weaknesses, the journey has required
a lot of effort to accommodate the needs of each student and help him achieve his goals
successfully.

This year marks a turning point in the lives of those students who will be graduating from
school and getting into university where they will be exploring a new life.

Students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), like all other students, have their areas
of interests and talents. This year, our graduating seniors are swimming champions, football
players, painters and drama lovers.

Those students have surmounted all the obstacles with the help of the school community
that has facilitated their inclusion in the various aspects of school life. In addition to the school,
the parents of students with SEN have played an important role in nurturing their skills and
helping them become independent adults.

A big thank you to each and every teacher along the years, to every staff member and to
every member of the MLS community who has been a building block paving the way towards
this grand day.

BON VOYAGE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS!
by Kareem Soliman
I have been on many school trips during my time here at MLS, but I had never gone as anything other
than a student. And even though I have been on this same trip before, it was a different experience
altogether going as a Student Council Representative to assist with the supervision of the Middle
Schoolers. Although I had responsibilities throughout the trip, and took on a sort of “big brother” role
for the kids, the trip was as fun and exciting as all its predecessors.
As soon as we landed in Paris, I could sense the kids’ excitement, especially as some of them
had never traveled outside of Egypt before. After checking in at our hotel, we later visited the Louvre
Museum, which never ceases to amaze me. Walls lined with grand paintings, halls crowded with
sculptures from a multitude of ancient empires, ceilings and partitions coated in canvases and gold
ornaments – it’s all just inconceivably rich.
The next day we took the students shopping for snow clothes, as we were later heading to
Switzerland, but the following day we were quickly back to sightseeing. We saw the Arc de Triomphe,
the Champs Elysées, the Notre Dame Cathedral and, of course, the Eiffel Tower. The view of Paris was
absolutely stunning from the top! Later the same day we ate at my favorite Paris restaurant, Léon,
where they serve amazing mussels, fish, shrimp, and other delicious goodies. We sealed our stay in
France with a trip to Disneyland. The kids had an absolute blast, and so did I. It was great fun being a
10-year-old for the day. (continued on p. 80)


79

Despite a grueling eight-hour bus ride to Switzerland, as soon as we reached our hotel in the Alps
everyone rushed to get out and play in the snow. The following morning we were headed to the
tobogganing park, which was a great experience for all, particularly the students who were enjoying the
snow for the first time. Later we went ice skating – which was lots of fun for all watching each other slip
and fall – and we also sledded on a small hill.
After a good night’s rest, we were off to the ski slopes for our final day. We took a beautiful
cable car ride further up the mountain to a fluffy white paradise. Although no one actually skied or
snowboarded except yours truly, the students were in awe at the breathtaking white covered views.
As we made our way down the mountain, we headed for the sports center to play some soccer and
basketball. Everyone played, even Dr. Soliman and Ms. Deena. The next morning we were all packed up
and en route to Geneva Airport for our flight back to Cairo, where parents awaited their kids with open
arms and proud smiles. It was truly an unforgettable adventure.

consecutive years for his win of the gold medal at table tennis.
Kareem has also won second place at the National Swimming
Championship. No, no, wait, THERE IS MORE! Kareem is also the
proud holder of the Karate Orange Belt (so don’t even think of
upsetting him).

Kareem’s next international project is as a contender to the
Table Tennis World Championship to be held in Australia in 2019.
Mashaallah ya Kareem, we are so so so proud of you!!

A different Gouna

Ten of our High School students spent a week of their Winter Break in El Gouna, but not eating, swimming
and partying as you might expect. Instead, under the supervision of Coach Ahmed Abdelmajid, they
competed against 15 other teams in the U-18 soccer tournament titled “Road to the States” from which
students may emerge with a scholarship. The MLS team – one of the best in the tournament – played
four matches in the group stage plus a quarter final match, coming 5th place.

Our players from Grade 12 were Omar Debakey, Omar Hegazy, Youssef Seoud, Youssof Maged, Alie
Khaled, Ahmed Hisham and Mohamed Kelany. The 11th graders were Mostafa Fahmy, Youssef Deraz, and
Mohamed Shomer. Well done boys, you make us proud!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

The most incredible Red Velvet cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. They are fluffy, soft and moist with

the most perfect velvety texture! Super easy to make with a few tips and tricks for best results.

Ingredients:

•1/2 cup (120g) unsalted butter, at room temperature • 2 large eggs

• 1 1/2 cups (300g) caster sugar (or fine white granulated sugar) • 1/4 cup cooking oil

• 2 1/2 tablespoons (45ml) red food coloring (liquid, not gel) • 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 teaspoons (10ml) pure vanilla extract • 1 cup (250ml) buttermilk*

• 1 teaspoon baking soda (bi-carb soda) • 1 tablespoon (20ml) white vinegar

• 2 1/2 cups (350g) plain cake flour, sifted (or all-purpose/plain flour)

• 1 tablespoon (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder plus 1 tablespoon extra for dusting

Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 400 grams of cream cheese - (not spreadable), at room
temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 sachet of whipping cream
• ¼ cup milk

Instructions:

For Cake:
1. Heat oven to 180°C. Put the cupcake parchment paper in the cupcake pan.
2. Beat butter and sugar together until light in color. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each
addition to combine well.
3. In a smaller bowl, mix together oil, cocoa powder, red food coloring and vanilla until smooth. Stir
color mixture and vinegar with the creamed sugar mixture to combine.
4. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add half of the dry ingredients and half of
the buttermilk to the wet ingredients; mix well. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and buttermilk.
5. Add batter to the cupcake pan and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted
into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack completely.
For Cream Cheese Frosting:
Beat the cream cheese well (about 2 minutes). In another bowl, add the whipping cream, milk and
vanilla and mix well. Add the cream cheese and beat until frosting is light and fluffy.
Decorate the cupcakes with the frosting and enjoy!

Recipe Notes:

*To make your own buttermilk, mix 1 cup of full cream milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar before baking.
Allow the milk to sour for 5-10 minutes.
*You can use a 10-piece box of Kiri cheese instead of the cream cheese.
