Siblings Earn Medals At Al Kalfus LI Math Fair

The Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair is an academic competition where students are given the opportunity to present mathematical research in written paper format, as well as through oral presentations, to a qualified panel of judges in the discipline.  Each year North Shore Hebrew Academy High School students participate in this competition.

This year Ali Paul (10th Grade) presented her research on parametric equations and their applications.  Her paper entitled Parametric Equations and Methods in Modeling, earned her a prestigious Gold Medal in the competition.  This is Ali’s second medal in the competition as she also received a Gold Medal as a freshman in last year’s competition.

Ryan Paul (9th Grade) also presented research in the year’s Math Fair in the area of polar and spherical coordinates and their applications.  His paper entitled Polar and Spherical Coordinates and Their Applications presented an in-depth look at the mathematics behind GPS Systems and mappings.  Ryan received a Bronze Medal for his research on a very elevated topic in the competition.

Introducing The Written Voice: NSHAHS' Literary Voices Unite

Here we are, April of 2012, right in the midst of tests, homework and extra-curricular activities. Amongst all the work and academic stress, North Shore’s writers still work hard, creating intricate plots and developing dynamic characters. The Written Voice is a digital literary magazine founded in order to be a unique channel for the aspiring young writers of NSHAHS and a mode for the publication of their work. Our goal with this monthly literary magazine is to provide a means of exposure for North Shore’s ambitious writers and a place for their literary works to unite. This inaugural issue includes literary stylings by some of North Shore’s most talented and dedicated writers. The novels featured here will progress with each successive issue and the poems and short stories have been carefully chosen by Written Voice staff for their creativity and originality. These writers have worked tirelessly during their free time to ensure that their works are edited to perfection and ready for publication. We hope that The Written Voice will be received with open arms and constructive feedback. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

The Editors
Anna Hardcastle and Rachelle David
