The team bus was travelling northbound on Highway 35. The semi-trailer was coming from the east on Highway 335. The semi had a stop sign and the bus did not. The force of the collision sent both vehicles into the northwest corner of the crossing. Visibility may have been an issue as the patch of trees partially blocks sightlines from the east and south.

“Ms. Schachenmayr, since I’ve come here you have been a loving teacher,” said sophomore Fallou Sylla. “You go out of your way to make your students happy. I love you a lot. We’ve had some tough times, and I hated fighting with you, because you’re such a good person. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me,” added Fallou. “Thank you.”

“I really appreciate Mr. Dingle, because he really cares about the school and environment and his students a lot,” said junior Alex Ray. “Always a fun time to be around and spend time with,” added Alex.

“Mr Eaton has a made a very big impact on me. I look at things differently now because I took his class,” said Daniel Lambert ‘18.

“I’m really lucky to have a teacher like Ms. Treska because no matter what, I’ll know she’ll always be there for me,” said sophomore Miranda Bookman. “Even if it’s something not academic related, I know that I can always go to her for help and for that I’m entirely grateful. I will miss having her as my English teacher next year!” “Ms. Treska has a way of turning usually boring themes into compelling and captivating life experiences,” said Lexi Hooper ‘20. “I appreciate Ms. Treska because she is always available for help during flex time and she always takes the time to look over my essays before I submit them,” said senior Jan Magnus Larsen. “She makes learning English fun.”

“I appreciate Mr. Mellor because of his dedication to his class, and his ability to make a class entertaining and educating,” said Charlie Purcell ‘21. “His personal motivation and love for the subject make me want to work harder and to do my best on every assignment,” added Charlie. Sophomore Cisco DelliQuadri said, “I appreciate Mr. Mellor. He takes us rock climbing and has a very good sense of humor. He also tries to improve my English skills.”

“I appreciate B. Runyon because he’s an amazing teacher,” said Addie Castillo ‘21. “He explains things very well. I originally struggled with geometry,” she said. “Math is one of the subjects that I didn’t really get and he helped me believe in myself. He encouraged me to keep trying and not to give up,” said Addie. “I appreciate Mr. B Runyon because he always shared the notes with me when I was traveling for ski races,” said junior Sarah Bennett. “I know that might seem like a small thing, but that did a lot to help me be successful in his class. He was always looking out for me.” “I appreciate Mr. B. Runyon because he explains everything very thoroughly and takes the time to teach the material very well and he is always available for flex if you need it,” said Madison Novotny ‘21.

“I met Donny the first day of school because I was injured coming into the school year,” said PG Ashley Davis. “I never thought that 3 years later I would be billeting at his house and basically be part of the Donatello family. He and his family took me in and made me feel at home in a time that I needed it most,” Ashley said. “I can’t thank him enough for everything that he’s done for me in the last 4 years. I’ll definitely miss being apart of the Donatello family next year.”

“I’d like to thank Mr. Pierce,” said sophomore Jessica Jang. “He always listens to what we have to say in class and makes sure that we all understand new topics that are introduced. He helps us challenge ourselves and encourages us by telling us that we can do it even when we don’t believe in ourselves. I’ve always been anxious about making mistakes in math,” Jang said, “and I have always doubted what I can do, but his classes are always interactive and fun, and I look forward to his classes every day. Mr. Pierce has helped me trust myself and my abilities.”

“I am a 16 years old senior from Northwood School, this is my first year in Northwood and my first year studying outside of my country. I come from Portugal, where everything is different: food, people even the weather. What I miss the most from my country are not having to study for two hours straight, my family who always support me, and speaking my native language. The first days have been a little bit difficult, having to speak every time a language that I am learning it’s not easy. I chose coming to Northwood because it offered me exactly what I was looking for: a comfortable place where I can play soccer and study at a high level. I am enjoying Lake Placid; it’s a nice area where people are friendly and always willing to help”. As told to Francisco Castillo ‘19 (Photo: Fran Castillo)

American citizens show a preference for Democrats/Obama and few don’t know or don’t care. Most non-citizens don’t know or don’t care about American politicals, and those who do show a slight preference for Democrats/Obama.

Soccer plays don’t know or care about American politics, which is understandable considering most players are from outside the U.S. Hockey players have a strong preference for Trump/Republicans, while ski racers and students wqho don’t participate in one of Northwood’s major sports have a strong preference for Democrats/Obama.

With the exception of 11th graders, who favor Trump/Republicans, students have a slight to a significant preference for Obama/Democrats. Faculty and staff have a strong preference for Obama/Democrats.

“For Break my roomate Fran came home to Massena with me and spent Christmas with my family,” said Devin Jolley ‘20. “I taught Fran how to skate, which went a lot faster than I expected. He was skating around the first day. After Christmas we went down to Florida for a week where Fran proved to me how bad I am at golf. We also went to the beach a couple times which was nice. We then came back to Massena for a few more days, played hockey and finally came back to school.”

“I want to Delaware for five days to stay at my Aunt and Uncle’s and to be with the rest of my family on Christmas,” said Michel Leone ‘20. “We went to Bethany Beach and walked around the boardwalk. My family and I then went home to Rochester after our time in Delaware. I hung out with friends I hadn’t seen in quite some time and was able to get my drivers licence! I also went to watch my old hockey team play before I left for school.”

“I went to New York City for a couple days with family and friends,” said Karli Lafferty ‘19. “Then I went home and had a great Christmas in my home town Cape May. I hung by the beach with friends and after Christmas I went to the Poconos to an outdoor water park and skied.”

“I had a great break with family and friends,” said Trevor Souza ‘19. “I hung out with family around Christmas. I skated a bunch on New Years and went to my neighbors’ house to celebrate. I had nice food at home and it was unreal.”

“Over my winter break, I spent a lot of my time resting and getting ready for the next stretch of the [hockey] season,” said Cian Murphy ‘22. “I also helped coach a hockey camp run by the Chazy Flyers youth hockey.”

“Over winter break I traveled to Paris,” said Blaise Clary ‘20. “I saw a lot of different landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. I also got to hang out with friends and train for hockey.”

“I went back home to Guatemala and spent time with my family,” said Lucas Farias ‘20. “I hung out with friends and went to parties. From 28th to the 2nd I went to the beach with friends. I also got my drivers licence.”

“I played pond hockey almost every day,” said Lucas Klemm ‘22. “I hung out with family all break. I played video games with friends. I walked and played with my dog and cat and watched a lot of movies.”

Faculty members and friends Ms. Mavis Agnew (left, with dog Quigley) and Ms. Noel Carmichael observe social distancing guidelines while on a snowy walk around a quiet Mirror Lake earlier this week.

Bowls of fruit in the dining room are now individually-wrapped to help control the spread of the virus. Until Governor Cuomo issued his New York State on Pause” executive order, essentially closing the school, Northwood’s Kitchen staff was serving a small number of essential workers who are cleaning and disinfecting school grounds.

Northwood’s campus property is officially closed, except for faculty, staff, and families. The fitness center and indoor turf field are also closed to everyone until further notice. The trailhead to Cobble Hill, located behind the classroom building, is also closed.

Online classes are in full swing! Students complete all of their homework, projects, class discussions, quizzes, and tests from their homes via computer, tablet or mobile phone. Matthew Paul is seen here at his dining room table.

The FIS Freestyle Skiing Aerials World Cup was in Lake Placid on January 11-12. It was originally supposed to be in Utah, but due to climate change, it was relocated to Lake Placid. This was the final World Cup event before the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. This was a critical event for the athletes before they head to Cortina, Italy, to compete for a gold medal.

Aerials are one of the most exciting winter sports to watch. Athletes perform crazy flips and twists trying to get the highest score based on their form, air, and landing. The higher the difficulty of the trick, the higher the score.

Ms. Fagan’s ADK classes had the opportunity to watch the men’s and women’s freestyle finals on Monday afternoon. For most students, this was the first time they had seen an event like this in person. “It was one of the coolest events I have ever seen, and I was so glad we did this trip as a class.” Said Devin Smith 26′

The events featured some high-flying tricks and two first-time World Cup winners on the podium. On the women’s side, Michigan native, Kaila Kuhn, won with a score of 105.60 by completing a back-full-full-full. Kuhn is on the US national team and headed to Italy. In second place was reigning Olympic Champion Mengtao Xu from China, and in third was Danielle Scott from Australia. On the men’s side, 20-year-old Li Xinpeng from China won the event with a massive back full-double-full-double-full, scoring 137.19 points. A huge margin of win over his teammate Wang Xindi, who scored 112.0 points, and Canadian Miha Fontaine, with 107.73 points, in third place. “I thought the winners definitely had the best technique and control. They were not going for a ton of air like the other athletes, and they performed their tricks with a lot of precision. Especially Xinpeng that day, he was on another level compared to the rest of the field.” Stated Smith.

Attending school in Lake Placid offers great opportunities to see elite athletes compete at Olympic venues. This experience has gotten students excited to watch the upcoming Olympics. “I’m really excited after getting to see these athletes in person to watch them on the big stage.” Said Smith. The Olympic Winter Games will be happening from February 6-22, 2026.
