Software Development Majors learned about the Interactive Media Arts BFA program at Tisch School of the Arts and had a tour of the Winter 2025 student work exhibit.

The past two weeks the Martial Arts Club explored the Chinese Fan. In ancient times the Chinese fan was the ultimate concealed tool. It was carried by scholars and travelers because it was both functional and elegant. Our club learned the physics of the snap. The loud crack of the fan opening provides instant feedback on your speed and technique. It also has dual purposes. It's the only training tool that helps you cool down after a hard workout.

To our Fashion Art members - A huge thank you

Club Fashion With A Purpose and Ms. David engaged in teaching Fashion Skills to Middle School students from South Bronx Prep and Mott Haven Charter. The "T" Shirt design entitled "Peace" is a play on how to apply social justice messages onto original design concepts. This special collaboration was made possible by our admissions team Ms. Moreira and Assistant Principal, Ms. Silva.

Before winter break, students in Ms. Ng's and Ms. O'Brien's Biology class decorated their holiday tree with some origami critters! The students worked hard and showed their creativity to bring these pieces of paper to life. All the while, they learned some Festive Fun Fauna Fashion Facts! While the weather was surely frightful outside, our students made our Holiday Tree of Life so delightful!





Students in AP Literature and Drama and Theater got a chance to see the play Queens at City Theater!

Tuesdays 3:00pm - 4:30pm

Today’s lesson brought math to life as students worked vertically around the room, sharing ideas and building understanding together. In small groups, they analyzed distance graphs to interpret motion, identify key features such as slope and intercepts, and connect those features to meaning in context. Students used function notation to clearly describe relationships between variables, explaining how changes in the input affected the output. As they debated strategies, asked clarifying questions, and revised their work in real time, students demonstrated perseverance, collaboration, and strong mathematical reasoning. This vertical work structure encouraged accountability, rich discussion, and multiple solution paths, helping every student actively engage in making sense of functions.


Happy and Healthy New Year from the Science Team at HSFI!
