Congratulations Joy Chen!
Fort Lee High School sophomore Joy Chen has been awarded a Gold Key by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers, sponsors of the longest-running, most prestigious writing competition in the U.S. A panel of literary and visual arts luminaries, including past winners, judge the submissions, looking for works that “best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.” Only about ten percent of all regional entries in the Scholastic Arts and Writing Awards Contest achieve this honor. Her personal essay entitled “Once Upon a Sonata,” a poignant reflection on her relationship with her younger brother, has been entered in the Alliance’s national competition.Linda Farrell - B.E.S.T. Teacher of the Month

The B.E.S.T Teacher Program stands for Better Education for Students and Teachers. It is a monthly recognition program for members of our teaching staff.
Teachers will be recognized publicly each month by the high school administration for their successful practices in support of student learning. Information will be gathered from many sources in order to determine each month’s B.E.S.T. teacher. The administration will meet monthly to reach consensus on a selection for B.E.S.T. Teacher of the Month. One teacher will be selected each month beginning in October of each school year.
Each month, the teacher selected:
1- Will receive a gift card to a business that supports educators
2- Will receive a letter of recognition addressed to the teacher and placed in his/her personnel file
3- Will receive a B.E.S.T. Teacher parking space for use during that month.
4- Will be recognized on our high school web page.
This month’s B.E.S.T. recipient is: Linda Farrell, Director of the Academy of Finance. Lets all extend our good wishes to Linda. I know you all will join us in honoring her for her dedication and hard work on behalf of her students. She never tires of finding new ways to motivate her students and bring real meaning to her program which is growing because of her efforts.
Senior Parent Ads - FLHS Yearbook
The Pioneer yearbook staff at Fort Lee High School is currently soliciting senior parent ads for the Class of 2012 yearbook. In the past, parents have been very supportive of the yearbook by placing ads commemorating their child’s high school achievements. We are hoping to make this yearbook our best yet and would like to reach out to the families of our graduating class by asking them to place an ad in the yearbook for their senior student.

When students in 9H English read Elie Wiesel’s poignant Holocaust memoir Night last spring, they unanimously decided to design their own website as a final project. Moved by this candid account of his unthinkable experiences at Auschwitz, Buna and Buchenwald, the class created tobreakthesilence.com. Their website, recently launched on the Internet, focuses on a world that knew of the horrors of the “death camps” but, with the exception of a few outraged voices, failed to condemn them publicly much less to take action to liberate them. Intended to appeal to a wide audience, the site follows Elie Wiesel’s journey from Sighet, (now part of Romania) to Buchenwald and includes links to a Holocaust art gallery, New York Times archive articles from the period, an interview with a Holocaust survivor (conducted in the FLHS Media Center) and an original children’s book.Extra Help Schedules
