Back to Articles News Back to Sections “Once On This Island” is coming soon! By Rachel Ezeadichie Volume 2 Issue 1 October 8, 2021 Image provided by Once On This Island Musicals are a wonderful way to bring people together. Whether you act in them or watch them, they are entertaining, fun, and a great way to show your talent. From Broadway premieres to high school productions, it takes hard work and dedication to pull the show together. Speaking of high school productions, North High School has a Drama Club of its own, performing our rendition of “Once On This Island.” “Once On This Island” takes place in the French Antilles, specifically Haiti. Two kinds of people live on this island: peasants, who live off the mercy of the gods and grand hommes , wealthy French people who reside on the other side of the island with fancy cars, houses, and lives. “Once on This Island” stars Ti Moune, an orphan adopted by Mama Euralie and Tonton Julien. As Ti Moune grows older, she longs for a grand homme to marry her. The girl’s prayer makes two of the gods, Papa Ge and Ezrulie, make a bet. Ezrulie, Goddess of love, takes on that love is stronger than death; Papa Ge, the demon of death, takes the opposite view. This lays the pathway to the rest of the musical. This musical’s central theme is classism. Ti Moune cannot marry a grand homme because she is a peasant, but she is determined to try. I thought I was not going to like this musical, but I was mistaken. It has fantastic songs, and after just the first listen, you will fall in love. Of many of the productions I’ve watched, all the diverse ways these characters were portrayed had me mesmerized. I could feel how each character felt just through the way they sang or presented themselves. Though this show may be one act, I feel like with North’s talented cast, the experience and creativity of our directors, and the behind-the-scenes work of our stage crew, this show will be a fantastic success.

Back to Articles Sports Back to Sections XC Meet at Van Cortlandt Manal Layachi Volume 4 Issue 1 November 6, 2023 Image provided by Cross Country Coach Varsity cross country boys at the Manhattan College Cross Country Invitational at Van Cortlandt Park. Left to right: North Star writer Andrew Lavoie, Charles Wu, Matteo Somma, Kevin Beltran, Frank Polizzi, Mateusz Grabowski, Chamar Borden. Members of the Varsity Boys Cross Country team competed at one of the largest cross country meets in the nation. 42 races took place on Saturday, October 14th, 2023. Seniors Kevin Beltran and Charles Wu, Junior Matteo Somma, freshman Chamar Borden and Frank Polizzi, and eighth grader Andrew Lavoie participated in this event. It was a cold and rainy day, but they raced well. The Manhattan College Cross Country Invitational (MCXCI) was founded in 1973 by legendary Bishop Loughlin High School coach and former Manhattan College distance runner, Ed Bowes. His vision was to provide a first-class cross-country experience on the nationally acclaimed Van Cortlandt Park course for scholastic runners of all abilities. I interviewed them and their coach Boyens: Andrew Lavoie: How did it feel to race at this prestigious meet as an 8th grader? It felt good to have this opportunity at a young age and I hope I will be able to do it again. 2. What do you love about running? If you could do another sport, what would it be? I love the competitiveness of running and striving to get better. If I could do another sport, it would be basketball because I have worked very hard in practice. Frank Polizzi: Did you get a faster time at this meet? If so, by how many minutes or seconds? I didn’t get a better time this race, but I’m still happy with how I ran because it was a hard course and was my first big cross-country meet. 2. If you learned anything from this racing experience, what was it? During this race I learned how many other schools and people that we normally do not race run. I also learned how to run better on different surfaces. Charles Wu: What was your racing experience at the meet? The Manhattan invitational was the hardest racing experience I ever had. Though I did not mind the rain, as I ran in worse conditions, the hills made it to where it was a difficult race to run. Being that it was my first time, I spent too much energy on the first half of the hills. Although it was only uphill for the first half of the race, I wanted that section to end much sooner, always thinking that it was about to end. Initially, I anticipated the steep downhills were going to be a much easier part of the race. However, running the down hills in the rain also proved to be a different, albeit less difficult, challenge than the up hills, as it was now finding a way to run hard without losing control. Despite the challenges this course presented, I am glad that I decided to run in the meet. My favorite part of the race experience was when there were geese in the middle of the course, and they decided not to move, leading to initial chaos. 2. Do you plan to run in college? If so, where? Currently, I do not have plans to run on a team or club during college, but I have not ruled out that idea either. I will have more of an idea on whether to run during college based on my performance come the winter and spring track seasons. If I do decide to run for a college team or club, it will more likely be for winter and spring track than cross country. 3. Can you describe what the environment of the meet was like? Due to the rain, the ground was much softer than I preferred. There were points in the race where I felt like I was going to slip and fall, especially since this is my first time running in the Van Cortlandt Park course. The steep up hills, as mentioned prior, were the hardest part of the course. However, I felt as if the steep up hills did not get impacted by the rain as much, unlike the downhills. The steep downhills were made harder, as the ground was wet, making it harder to keep control when running down them. Although it was cold throughout the race, it did not impact my race as much as the rain had on the downhills. The different environment of the Van Cortlandt course, compared to other courses I have ran like in Eisenhower Park and Bethpage State Park, proved to be a challenge especially in the rain, but it was nothing I could not have handled. Matteo Somma: 1.  What is your goal for this cross-country season? While I am so pleased with everything, I have accomplished this cross-country season it is only right to strive for more each race. With the championship season approaching around the corner, I hope to place in the top 10 at the Section 8 Cross Country Championships at Bethpage State Park.  Following this next weekend, I hope to qualify for Cross Country State Championships at the State Qualifier meet. More than anything I hope to race my own race and focus on myself, so I am able to put my body to the absolute extreme. I would also like to wish everyone else racing for VSN in Counties good luck. We will be hoping to place amongst the top teams and come home with some hardware! 2.  Did you enjoy racing at this meet? Did it feel like a college race? This past weekend racing at the Manhattan Invitational was truly an amazing experience. From the professional athletes to the thousands of competitors there, it was awesome.  Even though it was pouring out and a very tough course I had a lot of fun and would definitely race it again.  I did not have the best performance (or the one I was hoping for) but that is what is so great about this sport, the ability to try again the next week and get better each time. The race was really well put on and it was so cool racing kids from all over the United States! Kevin Beltran: What did you place in the race? I was able to get 9th place this year at the meet, not a great finish but I am very proud of how we did as a team this year. 2. Do you love running? Why did you choose this sport? Yes, I absolutely do! I chose this sport as it is a sport where you can hold yourself accountable for what results you get. You cannot blame anyone else but yourself. Additionally running is a very liberating sport. Feeling the breeze of the wind rush through your face as you run and being able to move at high speeds is an exhilarating experience that I would never trade for anything in this world. 3. Do you plan to run in college? If so, where? Yes, I do! I plan to run at one of the United States Service Academies those being the United States Military Academy (West Point) or the United States Naval Academy. Time will tell for what school I will be running for so be on the lookout! Mateusz Grabowski: How were the running conditions at the meet and how do you think you performed? The Physical running conditions were tough, and separated those who were “there for to be there” VS. those who wanted it, BAD. It was pouring rain, there were strong gusts of wind, and freezing temperatures with no sun out at all. The course itself was muddy to where I slipped a few times, very narrow to where only a few people can fit shoulder-to-shoulder, and it was STEEP. 250+ feet of elevation to scale and conquer made this race the hardest course I have run through in my life. Despite this, the environment of people (especially my teammates) I was surrounded by was pleasant, people were never complaining about the conditions or racing, and this just put me in the zone to run a great race. I think when I ran that race in 15:36 I showed the school that I run cross country because I want to RACE. I have come a long way from running a 18:40 at the easiest 4k course in Nassau County last year to running a ~15:30 at arguably one of the countries’ hardest courses. I think the work I put in this last year and over the summer shined through this race, and I set myself apart from other kids in the county and on my team. All-in-all I think I performed great, and this is one of my best races yet but much more is soon to come. 2. Why did you choose running as your sport? What meaning does it have to you? I chose running as a sport because I believe that running is all about discipline. You don’t need to be tall, or short, or strong or weak. You don’t need to know how to do specific skills or accessory moves in order to be successful. The only thing you need to know how to do is to; get your butt outside and 1.) run every day and 2.) Race like you’re on fire. I wanted to see how I can perform in a discipline-based sport and if I can create a mind-to-body connection in order to push past the limits of my genetics and break some barriers in terms of literally; how fast my legs can move. To me, running is a sign of commitment. If you can get out there every single day, and run, then you are proving you can push yourself and that you want to succeed in your sport and for your team. To me running also signifies not falling victim to your genetics. A slow runner who runs every day will end up faster than the person who is born fast and does not run. XC is a mental sport, and if you can commit yourself, you can become stronger than you ever were before. Chamar Borden: How did it feel to race at this big meet as a freshman? How did you feel after your race? It definitely felt both exciting and nerve racking for me personally. This was my first time going to a meet this big, so one could imagine how much was going through my mind while waiting for my race to start. After I finished my race, me and most of my teammates felt sluggish, since unfortunately it was raining at the time, and we had to run up these very steep, unfun hills. Overall, it was a new, challenging, and unique experience for me. 2. What is your favorite running season? Personally, my favorite running season is Cross Country. I love Cross Country because it is a sport that many people tend to overlook and not realize how hard it is to commit to. It also offers many challenges, due to the rough landscapes that runners must run on, as well as the training that comes behind it. This, and many other unmentioned elements, is what I find interesting and fun about Cross Country. Tim Boyens (VSN Cross Country Coach): How do you think the boys did? I thought we did very well considering the weather and the level of competition.   2. Do you think they are ready for the County Championships? They are getting there.  They have been running 50 miles or more a week for many weeks now.  They are strong.  Now we must work on speed and cerebral fortitude. 3. What do you love most about coaching cross country? To me it is a great test of the kind of person you are.  The most successful cross-country runners are the ones that put in the work, battle through pain and injury and have the mental toughness to go places mentally and physically they didn’t think they could.   4. Do you have any life lessons and tips for runners? Just like in life, when you are concerned less about yourself and more about others/teammates there is no limit to what you can achieve as a person or a runner. I enjoyed interviewing my talented teammates and my coach! Upcoming news about the cross-country team: They will be competing in the County Championships on Saturday, October 28th, at Bethpage State Park. They have been working really hard, so please come out to support the team and wish them luck! Go Spartans! BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Feature Back to Sections Ms. Santomauro Interview By Rachel Ezeadichie Volume 2 Issue 3 January 14, 2022 Image provided by Wikimedia Ms. Santomauro was a leave replacement English teacher here at North for the first marking period, filling in for Ms. O’Donohue. On her last day, I had the amazing opportunity to interview her about her experience at North High School. How has your time at North been? “My time at North has been absolutely wonderful. I’ve had amazing students and classes. All of my colleagues helped me every step of the way.” If you had a chance, would you continue to work at North High School? “Absolutely, I loved my time here.” What was your favorite thing to teach? “Each of the classes does something different. For the 8A’s I loved The Outsiders . I loved discussing “Stay gold,” because it thinks it’s relevant to your (8A’s) lives. 11AP: I loved doing argument because we debated all the time, and everyone got to share their ideas on controversial or just funny topics. Seniors: I loved doing college essays with the seniors because I got to know them really well.” Why did you become a teacher? “I became a teacher because I think the best gift you can give someone is knowledge and because as a student, my teachers made school a very good experience, and I wanted to give that to the future generation.” What about North High School made you want to teach here? “I really love the community aspect of North. Every teacher and every student is involved in something within the school and the community, which I really love. When I went to high school, I was very involved with the community and the high school, so that was something that I really liked about North. The opportunities for the staff to get involved in activities with the students is something that really drew me in.” As of your departure from North High School, what is something you learned while teaching here? “ I learned to always follow my gut no matter what it is...that I was trained to do this, and I know what I’m doing and to follow my gut. To always have the hard conversations; even though they may be hard, they are important. I learned to always make sure to value my students as people rather than just students because they are people outside of the classroom, and we need to acknowledge that and understand that in order to give them a well-rounded education.” What is something that you’re going to miss about North High School? “I am definitely going to miss my students and my coworkers. Every day was great because of the people I was surrounded with. Teaching is nothing without the people around you, and that’s what makes it such a great job especially if you’re a people person, so I will miss all the people I have worked with.” What advice would you give other teachers who come to or work at North? “My advice would be to get as involved as possible. We have very long days, and we do a lot of work, but taking that extra time to build relationships within the school and the community and with the students is really important. Showing people that you care about the people you work with, the students you work with, and the place you work in really helps build relationships and gets you more involved to make you a better teacher and a better colleague.” What advice would you give to students at North High School? “My advice to students would be to always keep up with the reading because when you fall behind, it gets really hard. And to be honest and open with your teachers. If you are struggling with something, you should be honest. If you could not complete homework because you had work or you had a personal issue going on, honesty is the best policy. Your teachers are very understanding. We are also people, and we understand that we all have personal lives, so it's always best to be as honest as possible and as honest as you are comfortable with being, so that we can help you in any way that you need.” Ms. Santomauro’s final goodbye to her students : “I am so very lucky to have had all of you in our classes and as a first-year teacher, you were a true blessing. You made me feel very comfortable and very at home in the classroom and I will always cherish all of the memories and relationships we built together as a class. Remember to always do your work!” Ms. Santomauro was a beloved teacher and member of North High School. She made students feel safe and comfortable with learning in the new class environment. We are glad and thankful that we were able to experience her first year of teaching with her. We hope that she excels in her teaching career far past North. BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Feature Back to Sections The Ice Bucket Challenge: Does it help the Mental Health Cause? Mya Hans Volume 5 Issue 5 July 5, 2025 You have probably seen it all over your Instagram past spring. It took over all of social media. You and I have probably both done it: The Ice Bucket Challenge. Back in April, thousands of people participated in this challenge, advocating for mental health. The first person to do it was Wade Jefferson, a student who attends the University of Southern California. He began this challenge to raise awareness and gain support for mental health efforts. After you do the challenge, you can nominate up to six people. Thus, this fun challenge spread quickly. However, if you kept up with trends and social media, you may have noticed that the Speak Your Mind ice bucket challenge is just an iteration of the ALS ice bucket challenge. It actually started in 2014, but its purpose then was to raise awareness for Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Despite all of these posts about the ice bucket challenge, very few donate to the cause. The official USC Mind Instagram stated in the post the simple instructions for the challenge. Participate, nominate friends, donate, and share the video. Many forget to do the donating part, which can be problematic considering that was the entire point of the challenge. Some people see it as a fun challenge to do with your friends and you nominate each other, but it was much deeper than that. Although the challenge raised “more than $245,000” according to Forbes, there is still so much more that can be done to advocate for mental health that doesn’t involve you simply recording yourself for friends to see and not actually helping the cause. However, it should be noted that most of the people that had participated in this challenge are young. There’s only so much that an average teenager could've done to contribute to the mental health cause, but this challenge is definitely proving to be a big step in the support and awareness of mental health in the younger generation. However, there are so many other things that can also take place for mental health awareness. Here are examples of activities you can do that advocate and contribute to the cause of mental health awareness: Donate to organizations that provide mental health programs such as: -Mental Health America -The National Alliance on Mental Illness -The Child Mind Institute There are so many programs that you can donate to help people struggling with mental health! Take part in mental health programs in your community or school There are so many activities like journaling, yoga, or walking that can be peaceful for some people. Those struggling with mental health could use a place that facilitates these relaxing activities. For example, at Valley Stream North, we have a Wellness Center where students can do arts and crafts, see a therapy dog, do yoga, and do much more during the week. Run a marathon or go on a walk for mental health awareness There are many marathons and walks that advocate mental health awareness, and a lot of funds are raised through those programs. Check if your local community might have one coming up! Participating in some of these activities can benefit the community greatly and reduce the stigma around mental health, leading to a more accepting and involved society. We should try our best to achieve this goal, and although some of the intentions may not be where they should be, the Speak Your Mind Ice Bucket Challenge has put the younger generation in the right direction of advocating for mental health.

Back to Articles News Back to Sections Turkey and Syria’s Earthquakes By Sahar Ali Volume 3 Issue 4 May 18, 2023 Image provided by Al Jazeera TURKEY & SYRIA – On February 6th, 2023, a tragedy occurred that changed the lives of millions. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit southeast Turkey and the border of Syria, causing more than 48,000 deaths. Days later on February 20th, 2023, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake strikes the Hatay province in southern Turkey. As people slept, the earthquakes caused apartment buildings to collapse, resulting in many to be stuck underneath rubble for hours or even days. Rescuers were sent in to help and seek out those trapped underneath collapsed buildings. The earthquakes caused more than 45,000 deaths and millions of people were left displaced or homeless in Turkey. The damage caused in Turkey is estimated to cost around $34 billion. Across 11 provinces in Turkey, at least 230,000 buildings were either damaged or destroyed. In northwest Syria, about 10,600 buildings were partially or completely destroyed. The mental toll these earthquakes have caused on Turks and Syrians are unimaginable. Hundreds of people lost their loved ones in less than a few minutes, people lost their homes and their prized possessions, and their dreams have been crushed. All of this happened in a period of just a few hours. BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Sports Back to Sections VSN Girl’s Tennis Team Continues their Success By Alyssa Garufi, Hannah Lee Volume 2 Issue 2 November 19, 2021 Original photography by Josephine Scalia The Valley Stream North’s Girls’ Varsity Tennis team annihilated their competition this year, coming in second place in Conference 4. Despite the challenging circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the girls played with ferocity and determination, finishing the season with 12 wins and only two losses. This achievement would not have been possible without the assistance of their new coach, Mr. Joseph Mando. Mr. Mando, a Valley Stream North alumni himself, now coaches the same sport he played during when he was a student here. Former girls coach, Ms. Kate Moran is brought back in a full circle, as Coach Mando uses skills taught by her in high school. Not only has Mr. Mando taught the girls tennis techniques and skills, but he has also left a big impression on all the girls by giving good advice and teaching them important life lessons. The Girls’ Tennis Team started the season off strong, with a 5-2 win against Uniondale on September 13th. First Singles, Claudia Sanchez, defeated her opponent in two sets, 6-2 and 6-2. No. 1 doubles Josephine Scalia and Ashrita Seelan won their match in two sets as well, both going into tiebreaks. No. 2 doubles, Alyssa Garufi and Grace Scalia beat their opponents along with No. 3 doubles, Anna Persaud and Kimberly Shrestha. To finish off the match, Barnit Kaur and Shinedip Kundlas bested their opponents, giving the girls a definite win from the beginning of the season. In the middle of their season, the girls pulled a win of 7-0 at West Hempstead. No. 1 singles, Juliana Russell faced some setbacks during her first set with a score of 6-7, but eventually pulled through winning 6-3, 7-6. Claudia Sanchez, No. 2 singles, played an impressive double bagel of 6-0, 6-0, along with Jaela Cardoza-Alvarez, winning 6-1, 6-0. First doubles, Afira Mahmood and Josephine Scalia, won their match 6-0, 6-1, and all the other doubles players won with impressive 6-0, 6-0, all around, Ashrita Seelan and Sophia Trojanowski as No. 2 doubles, Grace Scalia, and Emily Seitz as No. 3, and finally Anna Persaud and Kimberly Shrestha as No. 4 doubles. The girls finished off their season with a win at Levittown Division. Claudia Sanchez, playing No. 2 singles, won her match 10-2, along with Jaela Cardoza-Alvarez, No. 3 singles, winning 10-3. These girls destroyed their opponents in their pro-set. All four pairs of doubles players won their match, with No. 1 doubles, Afira Mahmood and Josephine Scalia, winning 10-3, second, Hannah Lee and Ashrita Seelan, winning 10-1, third, Alyssa Garufi and Grace Scalia, winning 10-0, and fourth, Sophia Buonomo and Lindsey Jacob, winning an impressive score of 10-8. The six-to-one win at Levittown Division accurately represents the impressive victories of the Valley Stream North Girls Tennis team throughout their whole season. The Girls Varsity Tennis team owes great thanks to Coach Mando for teaching them the virtues of patience, strength, and perseverance. The girls persevered through a rough season with COVID-19 regulations and overall made Valley Stream North immensely proud. BACK TO TOP

Back to Articles Feature Back to Sections The Serena Williams By Shinedip Kundlas Volume 1 Issue 6 March 18, 2021 Image provided by Shutterstock When people hear the name Serena Williams, they probably think: tennis, No. 1 in women’s tennis, or think about her older sister, tennis great Venus Williams. However, Serena Williams is more than a great athlete; she is an inspiration for many young girls and women around the world. Serena was born on September 26, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan. She started learning tennis at 5 years old from her father on public courts in LA. At the age of 17, she defeated Martina Hingis and won her first Grand Slam. Serena has won three double gold medals at the Olympics and has won 23 Grand Slams, more than any woman or man during the open era. At the age of nine, Serena and her family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, so that she could attend the tennis academy of Ricci Macci. However, Richard Williams stopped sending his daughters to National Junior Tennis matches when Serena was ten because he wanted them to advance gradually and to focus on their schoolwork. Experiences of racism also drove Williams’s experience, as Richard had overheard white parents speak about the Williams sisters in a derogatory way during tournaments. In 1995, when Serena was in the ninth grade, her father pulled Venus and Serena out of Macci's academy. From then on, the Williams Sisters’ coaching at home started. Serena Williams is one of the supreme tennis players of our time; nonetheless, to win 23 Grand Slams, she has had to prevail over challenges most tennis players have not: Serena is a black female in a predominantly white sport, she was raised in a poor neighborhood while practicing on community courts that were not always safe, and she suffered penetrating scrutiny of her body, misogyny, and racism. Serena, still to this day, has racist and sexist calls against her. She still contends with critiques of her body that perpetuate racist perceptions that black females are masculine and unattractive. Despite these challenges, Serena has remained strong and fearless, making her a role model for many young girls and women, especially those of color. Not only is she dominating in the sports world, but she is also dominating in the real world with a philanthropic mission. Since 2011, Williams has been the UNICEF International Goodwill Ambassador. Through this role, Serena operates to create schools in an attempt to offer quality education for susceptible children via UNICEF's Africa program and Schools for Asia Campaign. She created the Serena Williams Foundation to aid youth whose families have been affected by violent crimes, and to support minority youth around the globe in receiving an education by providing grants and scholarships. Since 2015, Williams has also volunteered to help immunize children in Ghana. Her career has been a rough yet amazing one, as she has been afflicted with injuries and has faced hardships both regarding her race and her being a woman. Serena continues to put herself back on the tennis court and play her best. Serena Williams is an astonishing example of how determination, practice, and motivation, can go a long way. She is an example of how no matter what color your skin is, and whether you’re a female or male, you can do it, and nothing can stop you from doing what you want to do.

Back to Articles Science & Technology Back to Sections COVID-19 Crisis in India By Matteo Somma Volume 1 Issue 8 June 8, 2021 No Image available at this time Throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic each person was impacted, some worse than others. One country, India, has been hit hard. From when the COVID-19 outbreak first started gaining infamous popularity, India was getting slammed with cases. As we surpass the one-year mark of the virus, India once again is increasing on daily cases rapidly. Death rates and reported COVID-19 cases have been rapidly increasing for the past few weeks in India, breaking massive global records and setting the COVID-19 death count to 3.41 million. One explanation for the recent activity with COVID-19 in India is that its total population is ranked the second largest, after China. With over 1,340,330,000 people residing in the country, India takes up 17.7 percent of the total world population. With COVID-19 being a highly infectious and contagious disease, the overpopulated cities and towns of India make it extremely easy for the disease to spread. Many hospitals are denying care to patients, both COVID-related and non-COVID-related. Another factor contributing to the crisis is the lack of resources. Hospitalization numbers during the peak of the pandemic also greatly increased. Because COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, medical device such as respirators and oxygen tanks are needed. Since India is a developing country, supplies and workers are limited leading many to increasingly die from the disease. India is also financially unsteady at times meaning they cannot buy the supplies they lack; healthcare workers are underpaid (which is causing many to go on strike), and the government can’t do anything about it. As you may see, even though the whole world has been impacted by COVID-19, other countries like India are suffering the worst. With no feasible fix to their problem, it is estimated for India to continue suffering for many more days, weeks, months, or even years to come. BACK TO TOP
