Junior, Isabela Foster's "Humanity X: Fickle Life" creative writing piece was featured in the Renss Lens!! As part of our Renss Lens updates, HFCS plans on highlighting student work worthy of recognition. Isabela Foster, who goes by Foster, is a passionate writer and artist. She recently wrote a short story (and completed illustrations) for her English 11 class she takes with teacher Mrs. Lynda Huba. Foster also shared her story with her AP English Literature & Composition teacher, Mr. Dan Michalak, who passed it along to our Communications Officer, Ms. Livingstone, for submission. Foster shared that she thoroughly enjoys letting her imagination shine in her creative writing endeavors and artwork, to bring her ideas to life. She credited a classmate and friend, Ashlee Morgan, with helping with character development as well as the “design” and artwork for her main character, Wiggler. Foster is a literary fan of dystopian fiction, as well as plots that weave in themes such as religion, physical deformities, and animals.

🎂 Twenty-two senior students in Mr. Brian Bushner’s AP Government and Politics class recently held their annual "Cake Day"!🍰 Students formed teams and chose a Supreme Court case to research that relates to the concept of federalism in the United States. Because federalism is sometimes described as either a “layered cake” or “marble cake”, students can bake a cake that displays the type of federalism their case would be classified as on the interior. For the exterior, they decorate the cake based on the theme of the case.

The Supreme Court cases and teams were as follows:
Roe v. Wade (two teams/ cakes: Zoe and Brooke / Ayden)
Obergefell v. Hodges (Ana, Chyah, Karalina, Ethan)
South Dakota v. Dole (Lizzy, Katy, Mattison)
Brown v. Board of Education (two teams/cakes: Kady, Ava, Sydne, Erin / Halley, Paylyn)
Gibbons v. Ogden (Luke, Wyatt, Chris, Blake)

Students are given a lot of freedom with this project, as long as they can explain the concept of federalism as it relates to the SCOTUS case. Mr. Bushner shared that he was “Impressed with how creative the students were and how broadly they looked through U.S. history to choose their cases.” The students always enjoy this creative assignment and have fun tasting the cakes too! Thanks for sharing this project and pictures, Mr. Bushner!

Mrs. Mabey's AP Environmental Science/SUNY-Environmental Science and Forestry Global Environment Class participated in A Day in the Life of the Hudson River this past week. What is Day in the Life? Each fall, schools all along the Hudson River collaborate to create a “day-in-the-life” picture of the river. The annual event is designed to bring school groups and education partners to the Hudson, where they can learn directly from the river. Using seine nets, minnow pots, water-testing gear, and simple tools, thousands of students catch and release many of the Hudson’s 200-plus species of fish. They also track the river’s tides and currents, check the salinity, examine water chemistry and quality, and even take a look at the muddy river bottom. The students thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. They love having the opportunity to get outside and connect their classroom studies in a practical and beautiful setting. Thank you for sharing, Mrs. Mabey!
