‘Newsies’ playing at NHHS
VALENTINE’S FOR VETERANS
By Nicole Zappone The Citizen
This week, North Haven High School students are bringing back the 1800s with their production of "Newsies," a musical based on the 1992 Disney film.
The North Haven High School Key Club created more than 60 Valentine’s Day cards for former members of the United States military residing at the veterans hospital in West Haven. Pictured, standing: Ellwyn Michael, Zohaib Saleem, Cooper Callahan, Sonia Temfack, Victoria Pachnik, Chandler Morris, Parthiv Patel, Amelia Raposo, Abby Colella and Key Club advisor Ms. Buonasora. Kneeling: Grace Martin and Molly Martin.
Set in turn-of-the century New York City, “Newsies” is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to See ’Newsies’, A8
Students take part in interactive Black history program By Nicole Zappone The Citizen
In recognition of Black History Month, celebrated in February, juniors studying U.S. History at North Haven High School were treated to an interactive Black history experience care of retired New Haven police officer Jeffrey Fletcher.
During his Feb. 16 presentation, Fletcher discussed the history of slavery and displayed his collection of historical artifacts, some dating back to the 1660s. Students were able to see up-close – and even touch – tools used to keep slaves from running away, such as neck braces, shackles and handcuffs.
