On Wednesday, Oct. 27, students from Tarwater Elementary School in Chandler spoke to an astronaut on the International Space Station as is passed over Arizona.

“Minecraft: Mob Squad,” written by Delilah S. Dawson, is a Minecraft novel about a group of friends who try to save their town from monsters. What I like about this book is that it describes some of the troubles that I have while playing Minecraft. Also, it talks about friendships and how friends help each other out, even in the direst of situations. It can teach the reader that no matter how dangerous the situation is, friends should always help each other out.
Do you ever wonder what a typical day as a Pixar artist would be like? For the October Bear Essential News Young Reporter Zoom Meeting, we had Paul Topolos, a matte painter who has worked at Pixar Studios for 20 years, as our guest.
Animating a movie is a group effort—Topolos mentioned that there are 1,200 people who work at Pixar Animation Studios! Topolos really enjoys working on good films with excellent stories and highlighted that Pixar is a good place to work because employees are taken good care of and the environment is very creative.
