The “Introduction to Film Studies, Screenwriting and Science Fiction classes” and the High School’s Film Society went on a recent field trip to Flagship Cinemas in Matamoras, Pa. to watch “Here,” the new Robert Zemeckis film. The following day, students shared their thoughts on the film within the context of their course. Cailin Slowik led the Film Society's conversation with many mixed reactions to the film’s quality. Students appreciated the opportunity to apply the skills they discuss in class to the theater experience!
Kudos to Class of 2025 officers Jon Bublio, president; Ryan Capo, vice president; Salma Hassen, secretary; and Sameer Roopchand, treasurer, who have worked every Varsity football game at the Concession Stand and were able to raise a large amount of money to help support the Senior Class with upcoming events. The officers working on future Senior Class fundraisers, helping the community with holiday food donations and with Minisink Cares. Thank you to everyone who supported and will continue to support their efforts.
