​Special Guest Speaker for Spanish Honor Society:  Mr. Norton

11/20/2022

 
By: Lucas DaSilva
This week in the Spanish Honor Society we had an amazing special guest come into the class and teach us about his career in our school. Mr. Norton came in and gave us a very insightful presentation on what he does for students in our school. His job at Lyme Old Lyme High School is helping students from other countries learn how to speak english. From his presentation we learned how difficult it is to learn another language and adjust to a different society when coming from another country and how Mr. Norton plays a large role in helping students feel more comfortable in their new school. Mr. Norton also helped us understand how difficult it is to fully understand and speak english and explained to us that for someone who didn’t learn the language subconsciously it can be a very long process. Overall the presentation was wonderful and Mr. Norton did a great job at explaining his career and how he helps out at our school.

LOLHS Celebrates Our Veterans

11/13/2022

 
Friday, November 11, proved to be, yet again, a wonderful demonstration of LOLHS' gratitude and honor for our local Veterans. Our Wildcat Band and Chorus performed with heart and soul that stole the show.  Tova Toriello was a fantastic Master of Ceremonies. Billy Barry made the opening remarks reminding us about the history of Veterans Day.  Capt. Benjamin Karpinski was introduced by his son, Simon, as this year's guest speaker who shared some laughs as well as some insightful thoughts about serving in our community whether in the service or not. Our VFW announced the winners of the Voice of Democracy Essay Contest. We had six essay contest winners who answered and shared an excerpt of thier responses to the question "Why is a Veteran Important?". Congratulations to Skylar Kobelia, Maggie Thuma, Teagan Iglesias, Zoe Brunza, Quinn Arico and Alexis Grasdock whose essays will be forwarded to the state level for judging. It was a beautiful ceremony for our Vererans - the heroes who have unselfishly dedicated their lives fighting to provide us with the freedoms we hold near and dear as American Citizens. We thank them for joining us on Friday and making the day so special.

Spanish NHS Movie Night Event:

11/13/2022

 
By: Gesa Vazquez
 
All the students at Lyme-Old Lyme had the opportunity to watch a Spanish movie in the school’s auditorium. Any student who went paid $5, and all the money collected went to charity. The movie was called Valley of the Dead, and while being a funny horror film with zombies, also had real-life events that took place during the Spanish Civil War. Thanks to this event hosted by the Spanish Honor Society, we were all able to get together with our friends after school and enjoy the funny film with snacks. 

Cultural experience for Spanish AP Students

11/13/2022

 
​By Juanjo Vazquez-Caballero

This past Thursday, AP students went to New Haven to have a great cultural experience.
The visit was divided into two parts.  We watched a movie called, “Las Estrellas del Estuario”.  We shared the room with students from New Haven.  Even though the movie had some technological issues, we had the opportunity to learn about Puerto Rico’s environmental problems and briefly about their history of enslavement.
Students asked a few questions in Spanish to the director Sonia Fritz, who shared that she is of Mexican and German descent and currently lives in Puerto Rico.
We went to an authentic Cuban restaurant (Soul of Cuba). Personally, I recommend the restaurant; it has delicious food and a great location.  It is a small and cozy place with lots of stories, art, and pictures from the family of the Cuban owner. We enjoyed the Cuban sandwiches, empanadas, and desserts as well as the company of a friendly staff and great conversations with Jesus Puerto (the owner).
