Finals - Finishing First Semester! by Milana Davydov 2012
 After an exhausting week of finals last week, NYHS students have successfully completed first semester! We are officially half way through with the school year and only have one more semester to go. Congratulations to all who pulled through a tough week of testing.
A Word from a Freshman:
How was first semester of high school for our newest additions to the school?
Freshman Laurel Aaronson (2014) says "It took a little while for us to get in the swing of things and really figure out how to manage our time, but in the end it all got figured out and my first semester has been absolutely amazing! Basketball has been a TON of fun too. I really love being able to be friends with students from all different grade levels."
Congratulations to the entire freshman who survived their first semester of high school! You're half way through your first year!
A Word from Exchange Student Pedro Lobel:
As you know, exchange student, Pedro Lobel's last day of school was last week. Pedro Lobel (2012) was a part of the junior class of NYHS for the first semester of the school year. He is from Brazil and speaks Portuguese. Pedro has become a big part of the NYHS family and he will be missed by everyone!
Before he left, I asked Pedro a few questions about his experiences in the United States and at NYHS as well. Pedro said that his favorite part of NYHS was "...the people, they are very nice." He also said that he "...likes to learn about Judaism. I know the Rabbis and teachers are going to help me whenever I need it."
Pedro also talked about how different school is in the United States from Brazil. " In Brazil we have classes with different people all the time. But here, it is the same people all year. " Pedro said that "I will miss all of my American friends very much and I love it here." We will also all miss Pedro and wish him a safe trip back home to Brazil!
Welcome a new Junior! This week, we welcomed transfer student, Racquelle Ramirez to the class of 2012. We will find out more about Racquelle next week!
Congratulations to our senior class of 2011 as they are now finalizing their college plans and completing their search college process. Now it is time for the final stretch of just pulling through second semester of your senior year before you begin the rest of your lives!
Don't forget to support your NYHS 613's men's and women's basketball teams! Hope to see everyone coming out to cheer on the 613's!
Have a restful weekend and a wonderful Shabbat. Shabbat Shalom!

Jake Baker 2009 is a sophomore at the University of North Dakota and is studying Aviation Management and UAS (Unmanned Aerial systems) Operations. Jake explains that Aviation Management is the business side of the aviation world and his degree requires one to get up to and including a commercial pilot's license. Jake is just one flight away from getting a private pilot's license which will allow Jake to fly alone, with passengers, internationally, as well as have many other privileges with an airplane. Jake however will be going a step further and will acquire his CFI license which will give him flight instructor status. After Jake gets his regular fixed wing (airplane) licenses, he will begin flying UAV's (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) which he is extremely excited to do!
