With the help of students, faculty and staff, they accomplished their goal of baking 150 homemade apple pies to feed the homeless living in Newark Penn Station. They also collected dozens of new and gently used hats, gloves, and blankets for those in need. Donations of flour, sugar, shortening, and apples were collected along with monetary contributions to complete the project. Students even donated their apples at lunch to help with the effort. Over the course of one week, students, faculty, and staff joined together to bake the pies during and after school. Mrs. Puri’s Blocks 1, 2, and 3 Foods classes worked endlessly preparing dough and peeling apples. FCCLA and NHS students volunteered their time after school to bake, package, and load the apple pies for delivery. (continued on page 5) Published with pride for our school community John F.

A State of New Jersey Best Practice School Art Students Collaborate To Put On Professional Show By: Mrs. Rachael Rotella On Thursday, January 7th, John F. Kennedy Memorial High School art students will present their projects painting, sculpture and mixed media in collaboration with Perth Amboy high school students who have been enrolled in Art Major and Advanced Placement classes. Beginning at 6 p.m., the Perth Amboy Gallery for the Arts will host the opening reception for these young artists. All are invited to attend. The show, completely created by the students is titled, Coexist. “There are many things in nature that appear to be complete opposites, yet they manage to coexist. What's more, they usually need each other; one cannot be without the other. The purpose of the show is to explore the complex relationships that exist between these seemingly opposite forces that, at the same time, exist in harmony with one another” senior, Natalia Klimchuk describes the shows purpose. You can expect almost anything in this body of work; teenage abandon, relationship discontent, secret agents, zealots, good versus evil, maybe even aliens. Working with these AP and Art Major students has been extremely rewarding, they have all grown as artists and at the same time have also learned the foundation of applying art to real world scenarios. We can’t wait to see you there! The Perth Amboy Gallery for the Arts is located at 339 Read Street in Patten Park, Perth Amboy. For more about COEXIST https:// www.facebook.com/perthamboygallery/ Operation Apple Pie (cont’d from front page) This project was inspired by a second grade little girl named Riley who wanted to give those less fortunate a taste of home for the holidays. With the help of our student body and staff at JFK, she was able to see her idea come to life. On November 24th, several teachers from JFK along with Be the Change of NJ, delivered all 150 pies to the homeless along with a hot meal for the holidays. The pies were a December 2015 huge hit and put a smile on the faces of many. Ms. Puri, Ms. Kurowsky, and Ms. Timinski would like to extend their gratitude to all the students, faculty, and staff for their efforts with this community service project. Be the change you wish to see in the world. Thank you for making a difference! A National & State of New Jersey Service-Learning Leader School Page 5 John F. Kennedy Memorial H.S. A State of New Jersey Best Practice School National Honor Society Continues to Serve By: Mrs. Colleen Kurowsky November has been a busy month for JFK’s National Honor Society! On behalf of John F. Kennedy Memorial High School, the society accepted the Silver Award and a banner from the Central Jersey Blood Bank. With 165 donations during the 2014-2015 school year, JFK had the second highest number of donations in all of central jersey! Once again, the students and staff of JFK showed their desire to help others through the truly selfless act of donating blood. The National Honor Society hopes to continue this tradition of saving lives as it hosts another blood drive here at JFK on Thursday, December 3. During the month of November, the National Honor Society honored local veterans by hosting a former Navy officer, Ted Evon. Mr. Evon was received by an engaged audience of NHS members as he shared stories of his life and of his time in the service. Students laughed at his funny stories about boot camp in the snow and friendly pranks on the base, and cried at his December 2015 heartbreaking tales of lost friends. Mr. Evon showed his audience all of the medals he earned for his bravery and service, as well as his Navy Yearbook full of pictures from his training. The visit ended with National Honor Society members thanking Mr. Evon for sharing his story, and for his service to our country. The National Honor Society ended the month of November by helping out with Project Apple Pie. Members dedicated time after school to partner with Mrs. Timinski, Mrs. Puri, and the FCCLA to bake apple pies for the homeless. The idea actually came from Mrs. Timinski’s daughter, Riley, and NHS was more than happy to help turn it into a reality. Members had a blast rolling out the dough, preparing the filling, and eagerly waiting to see the finished product. The apple pies were donated to homeless New Jerseyans at Newark Penn Station just before Thanksgiving. The pure gratitude expressed by recipients of the pies was enough to make it clear that Project Apple Pie was a success! A National & State of New Jersey Service-Learning Leader School Page 6 John F.

Our Math Team is very ably captained by Aditya Sridhar and David Tian and the faculty advisor is Mr. McGroarty. We normally meet twice a month. One of these meetings is chaired by our co-captains Aditya and David. During this meeting our members are exposed to different styles of mathematical problems. Our other monthly meeting takes the form of a competition sanctioned by the Central Jersey Math League, which is held at a hosting school. We are allowed to bring ten students to these competitions. In September, we finished twelfth place out of nineteen schools at a competition held in Montgomery High School. In October, we finished tenth out of eighteen schools at a competition held in South Plainfield High December 2015 School. In the November competition held at Union County Magnet Campus, we finished eighth out of nineteen schools. The most consistently high performers for our Mustangs have been David Tian, Aditya Sridhar and Devvrat Patel. Each one of these students has scored a nine out of ten at least once, while David has attained a nine on two occasions. If you are a math whiz, or just someone who is interested in solving mathematical problems, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. McGroarty for more information. You could score the first perfect ten of the season! A National & State of New Jersey Service-Learning Leader School Page 7 John F. Kennedy Memorial H.S. A State of New Jersey Best Practice School Key Club’s Active Operations By: Priya Agarwal There are many exciting events coming up in the month of December. The John. F Kennedy Memorial High School Key Club will be making Christmas cards for Veterans so that we can share the love of Christmas with the community. All the members of the Key Club will meet up and make loving cards using provided materials such as markers and construction paper. In addition, for the first time, key club members will have an opportunity to volunteer at a food bank. This will provide a more hands on way of giving back to the community. Operation Christmas Child is one of the most anticipated events of the year. This year there was a large turnout of kids to make boxes. The donation for each box was seven dollars and about 30 members made boxes. A large set of supplies were set out on a table to put in the boxes. The students picked an age group and gender and decorated the box accordingly. Markers, crayons, and colored pencils were also provided to make a cute note for the child who would receive the box. Everyone made a note for their Christmas Child. Many students decided to work in pairs while making the boxes. The seven dollars that were put in the box were for the shipping of the box since they go to various countries. Each box was customized in a different way with unique items and decorations. Most of the members brought shoe boxes from home. The letters written were simply precious and the children will get that warm feeling that Christmas brings when they read them. Those are the things that make Key Club worth it. Operation Christmas Child is one of those things that you know Above: Vice President Mansi Shah holding one of the many boxes created during Operation Christmas Child. December 2015 Above: Only a fraction of the boxes made during Operation Christmas Child. will allow you to put a smile on someone else's face. The best gift that a person can give is a smile. An exciting Volleyball Tournament was held at ALJ High School in the month of November. All Key Clubs from Division 13 and 14 were welcome to participate. The John F Kennedy Key Club had three teams set out to win the tournament. Many players from the JFK Memorial High School were also members of the Varsity Volleyball team. A few of these students are Conner Freemen and Francesca Garrison. The admission fee was either five dollars or five pounds of food. Our school was on raffle duty. As a result of this tournament a lot of food was accumulated and all the key club members got to spend some quality time with one another. Above: One of the three teams that played from the JFK Memorial High School Key Club. Left: A portion of all the food collected during the tournament. Many Key Club members including myself made lasting friendships during the tournament. The players had a great time. Those that were watching had a wonderful time as well. There were snacks and pizza at the event. Some of the snacks were even homemade such as the truffles and brownies. The players had some time to practice before the actual games began. The sportsmanship was impressive by every school and all in all it was a great event. A National & State of New Jersey Service-Learning Leader School Page 8 John F. Kennedy Memorial H.S.

Kennedy Memorial H.S. A State of New Jersey Best Practice School Boys’ Cross Country Ends Season with Underclassmen On Top By: Mrs. Rachael Rotella Throughout the Fall season, these young men truly defined the meaning of what a Cross Country team is. As a group they became more dedicated and determined every day. We had one of our most successful years in cross country, although our record was 6:2, our loses to Monroe High School and Woodbridge High School were within a mere points. Our underclassmen had a lot of success this year. Newcomer freshmen, Preetham Anumapuram and Keshav Kalia joined the varsity team all the way to State Sectionals. Preetham brought home three medals this season, the first at Greystone Park and then again at the Six Flags Safari invitational and finally for the freshman race at the GMC Championships, placing top 30. On October 27, 2015, Preetham, Keshav, Roman Fabbricatore and Shyamal Patel dominated the two mile race in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th place respectively. The Boys Varsity team poses on the start line before State Sectionals Each member of the boys team plays a valuable role, however our awards recipients this year were as follows; Senior, Rahual Mahju December 2015 Boys and Girls XC end their season with Coach Rotella and Coach Seavy at State Sectionals received our Most Valuable Player Award for the 3rd year in a row, having set the tone for the team placing first for the Mustangs in six out of eight division meets. Senior, Thambu Jisnnu ran his heart out for this team, always worked hard and always finished top two for the mustangs. For that reason he receives the Mustang Award for being an outstanding student and competitor. Sophomore Prakher Chandra received our Most Improved for reaching his goal and breaking a personal best time of 18:23 compared to his PR last season of 19:46. Not only was he a mentor to the younger members but was always there for his team, always an asset during a race, and stepped up on when he was needed. Finally our Sportsmanship Award goes to Senior, Wyatt Emme for his attitude on and off the course. Wyatt did not miss one practice, he was the last out of the locker room every day to make sure everything was taken care of and he played a vital role even without a captain’s title. We’re looking forward to next season; the underclassmen will keep up the hard work. We know it’s not about a season record. A winner is someone who sets their goals, commits themselves to those goals and then pursues their goals with all the ability that is given to them.

A State of New Jersey Best Practice School Girls’ Basketball Hopes to Continue Success By: Coach Nicholas Smith This year the girls’ basketball team will be led by Seniors Clare Lewis, Priti Patel and Jackie Soper.

Competition Cheerleading Prepares for Season By: Coach Jessica Herres The 2015-2016 Competition Cheerleading team is made up of 15 talented individuals. The squad started off their season with summer workouts to better their endurance and skill work for the type of routine they were going to have to learn and perform to perfection. The girls will practice three to four days a week as well as cheering at basketball games and competing every weekend starting January 11. They will perform in seven local competitions including Bishop Ahr, Woodbridge, Jackson, St. John Vianney, and David Brearley. They will be ending their season with a National competition in Ocean City Maryland. In Maryland they will compete against 15-20 teams. Ms. Obrien and myself are looking forward to a great season with this fantastic group of ladies. Boys’ Winter Track Team Preview By: Coach Robert Herre The Boys’ Indoor Track team is certainly looking forward to the winter season. Returning athletes include sprinters Junaid Mughal and Brandon Redd, hurdler Anthony Del Poppolo, and long distance runners Rahual Mahju, Thambu Jisnnu, Mehul Patel, and Wyatt Emme. These athletes will be leading the way along with the rest of the squad. The Mustangs will be competing in the Spiked Shoe Invitational in New York in late December and from there will prepare for the State Relay Championships, the GMC December 2015 Championships in Staten Island, and the State Sectional Championships with the ultimate goal being the Meet of Champions in Toms River. Along the way, they will host several outdoor meets with local teams as long as the weather cooperates. A National & State of New Jersey Service-Learning Leader School Page 13 John F.
