By, Marissa Mojarra
Ingredients

1 pouch each Betty Crocker™ Cookie Icing in white, red, blue, and green
1 tube Betty Crocker™ black Decorating Gel
1 pouch Betty Crocker™ Candy Shop decors rainbow chips
1 bottle Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Sprinkles

Directions
1 Follow baking directions on sugar cookie pouch, dividing dough evenly
into 12 round cookies.
2 On cooled cookies, draw a “snow puddle” with Betty Crocker™ White
Cookie Icing. TIP: Draw the outline of the puddle, then go back and fill
in the shape.
3 While the icing is still wet, immediately place a marshmallow to one
side of the cookie.
4 MAKE THE ARMS: Once the icing and marshmallow have set, pipe two
“branches” onto each cookie using black gel. Add fingers with chocolate
sprinkles.
5 MAKE THE FACE: Using a small dot of white cookie icing, stick two
“coal” eyes and a nose onto the marshmallow with Rainbow Chips. Pipe a
small dot for the mouth with black gel.
6 MAKE THE SCARF AND BUTTONS: Using blue, red, or green cookie
icing; carefully draw scarves around the base of the marshmallow. Using
a small dot of white cookie icing, stick three “coal” buttons beneath the
scarf with Rainbow Chips.
7 Allow cookies to set for at least one hour before serving.

10 Days of Kindness
Drill Team Update
By, Ariana Parker
Diamond View ASB has been very busy
this year. The theme for the year is
‘Kindness”. 10 Days of Kindness follows
the idea of the 12 Days of Christmas
with students earning tickets for their
acts of kindness. Students can then
enter their tickets for their choice of
2 prizes...
Drill Team is a fun extra-curricular
activity. Ms. Durado is the coach,
and our Captains are Sally Tiffany
and Grace Tyler. We have a very
good team and have been practicing very hard for our performance
at the Rally Today! We hope you
enjoy our Winter Routine!
The drawing will be at the Winter
Rally Friday!
Good Luck to everyone!

Kindness is always in Season, Editorial by Ms. Littlefield
I would like to compliment the Students at Diamond View
for the outpouring of kindness I have seen during the past
few weeks. You raised a HUGE amount of money for a
friend and classmate, but it is more than that.
I have watched you be kinder toward each other, open doors,
talk to someone who might be having a bad day, or maybe
just give someone a smile!
Today is our last day of school this year. I hope you all
have a wonderful holiday. When we return in 2017 I challenge you to keep this kindness in your hearts– for kindness
truly has no season-we can practice it everyday!
