Members of NJHS Participated in a Community Light Parade
A Light Parade was held in Eagle Valley on December 12, 2021. The purpose of the parade was to help fill the shelves at Sloatsburg Food Pantry. Each participant had to bring a bag of groceries and spectators were asked to donate an item or two. The first ever Eagle Valley Parade brought in over 100 bags of groceries and dozens of supermarket gift cards.
The following National Junior Honor Society Members participated: Chris Ahart, Jameson Brooks, Christopher Chacko, Abdullah Khan, Will Sandak, Logan Saari-Poznanski, Francesco Stillo, and Quentin Hubner from ASP. After brainstorming, the boys designed and created a “Santa’s Workshop” scene. They made their own props, decorated a truck for their float, and dressed up like elves. The boys had a great time while participating in a wonderful community event that gifted far beyond their neighborhood streets.
Congratulations to Senior Cristal Pichardo, Junior Juliana Scanlon, and Sophomore Vanessa Duarte on being named to the Section IX Class D All County Teams! Juliana Scanlon and Vanessa Duarte were named to the First Team, and Cristal Pichardo was named to the Honorable Mention team. We are very proud of you and the hard work you put in this season!

Congratulations to Junior Chima O. for running in the Section 9 Championship Meet for Varsity Cross Country where he set a personal best time of 18:07. Although he took a minute and 34 seconds off his state qualifying time from 2019, he had hoped to represent Tuxedo again in the state meet; and he will be working hard toward achieving this goal next year!
