This summer, Nyack High School made the very brave yet fated choice to change the “Indians” name and mascot. It was a unanimous decision by the Board of Education to remove it, as they concluded that “Indians” was not the appropriate term for what we were claiming to represent: Native Americans.

During quarantine, many of us have developed new hobbies to pass the time and make the best of these peculiar circumstances. Whether it be scrapbooking, drawing, picking up a new sport, or jewelry making, people all around the world have been trying new things to keep themselves occupied. One particular activity many have taken up is baking! Cooking and baking are enjoyable ways to spend time and they also lead to delicious results. Here are some of Nyack’s favorite recipes you can make this fall.

Just because October has ended does not mean we can stop talking about breast cancer. According to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed and second deadliest for women.

If we want to create a hybrid system in which we can all thrive, we need to listen to one another and work together as a Nyack community. To begin this process, I spoke with four students whose experiences I felt best represented Nyack: freshman Sydnie Ampofo (red cohort), sophomore Nina Petrou (blue cohort), junior Kryss Rojas (fully remote), and senior Calvin D’Andrea (red cohort).
Congratulations, Nyack High School. We have officially made it through two months of the COVID school year and are now taking on our third! Besides adjusting to the temporary all-virtual instruction, we dealt with the tension of the election. It makes sense that our focus is divided among high school, politics, the virus, and more. Seniors have been anxiously crammed for their November first college deadline, while freshmen are still trying to adapt to a new school amidst a pandemic. It’s no secret we’re all stressed out.

COVID has made trick-or-treating more difficult logistically; this year, we might not be able to trick or treat, even if we wanted to. For that reason, I thought it’d be nice to look back, relax, and reminisce about the Halloweens of yore. Curl up at a spoooky fire -- or tea candle -- and read with me.

“Athletically it’s [Covid-19] definitely a challenge. I play varsity soccer and we have to wear a mask whenever we’re playing; it’s required. We can be 100 feet apart and everyone has to wear a mask as long as you’re on the Nyack High School campus. It makes it a lot harder to breathe. But, referees and coaches have been very nice and allow you to have mask breaks so you can breathe and you won’t pass out on the field. In regards to my family, I feel like I’ve gotten closer to them considering the fact that I’m spending a lot more time with them. I’m learning things about them that I didn’t know before. I’ve just grown to be more grateful for my family after being stuck with them for so long.” -Laila Bermudez, senior
