Prom Fashion Show



Flashing smiles and stunning styles—each model flaunted his or her look in the spotlight. The performances and the people were spectacular. Jeana Alfano kicked off the show with a grand opening singing the Star-Spangled Banner. We got to see the teachers’ classy side as they walked the runway. Each model had his or her own signature pose working with their respective looks.

We can't forget the singers, such as Rob Daniels and The Cover. The dancers were so insync, it was divine and took months to prepare. And an eight-year-old played the harp beautifully.

Rob Daniels, the 23 year old country singer, had released his album in January called "Near Her." He learned guitar at the age of 7, then started singing at the age of 19, which continued into a career. The Cover,which won 3rd place in the talent show, came back for an encore for the prom fashion show. A group of three lovely seniors—a guitarist, pianist, and singer—rocked the stage in their gold outfits.

Everyone was amazing, so hyped on energy, you just walked in and knew it would be a great night. We wish all the seniors luck at college and hope to see the rest of you next year at the fashion show.

High School isn't Forever

When I was asked to write an article for the John Jay newspaper, I was admittedly a bit hesitant. I didn’t think anyone would really want to hear from me. If I’m honest, despite having incredible friends all throughout high school, I couldn’t help but feel like an outcast. A lot of my time at John Jay was spent trying to avoid people. I always seemed to get stuck with all the people that didn’t like me in one class. I tried to be nice, but then I’d be made fun of. When I was mean and defensive, I was made fun of more. I felt like I couldn’t win. Needless to say, high school was rough for me. At the end of my freshman year, I stopped eating. In the beginning of my sophomore year, I weighed 76 pounds. It took me until the middle of my junior year to make it back up to 93 pounds, and I still struggled to keep the weight on for a long time. During most of my sophomore year, I had anxiety attacks three or four times a week. Sometimes they were so severe that I’d get sick. I hid my insec...

John Jay FBLA Goes To The New York State Leadership Conference

After competing in the Spring District Meeting of District 3N, the students of the John Jay High School chapter of FBLA began to prepare for the next big competition ahead of them: the State Leadership Conference, which took place April 13th through 15th. This competition included schools from all over New York state, and contained almost a thousand competitors. Presentations were constructed, tests were labored over, and individual performance events were practiced until they could be recited in sleep. Then, on Tuesday, April 12th, it was time. The students brought their luggage in the morning and spent the rest of the school day in a nervous jitter, unable to concentrate on anything except the fact that they would be leaving for Rochester in a mere few hours. Eventually, that time came and, with only a minor fiasco involving the Ketcham competitors, they were off. Five hours later, after a long train ride, they arrived at the Radisson Hotel in Rochester, and had a very late dinner ...

John Jay Believers

If you ask people what their least favorite day is in the week, they will probably say it is Monday. Monday is by far the most brutal day of the week. Once school is over, all you want to do is sit down, relax, grab a bite to eat and do something to brighten up your day. If this is you, check out John Jay’s newest club: John Jay Believers. JJB is a Christian-based club at John Jay High School that helps strengthen relationships and their faith in God. It meets after school on Mondays from 2pm until around 3pm. JJB is open to all students and faculty so it is a great way to get to know each other better and to see a different side of one another. “JJB is a place where Christians can come share their faith and live life with others,” Leah Rodriguez, a member of JJB, said. “From snacks to games to inspirational messages—it’s a lot of fun and I look forward to it every week.” JJB helps prepare students to take on each school day by meeting every morning before first period to pray. JJB is ...
