Members of Deer Park High School’s Black Student Union recently decorated a display case to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Traditionally, MLK Day is recognized as a day of service, so the students were eager to organize a service project that would impact their Deer Park High School community.

The display case includes a collaborative mural and selected quotes from Dr. King, including “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: Only love can do that.”

“Our students are hopeful that with small acts such as this, they can make the world a better place,” teacher Aleisha Forbes said.

Three members of Deer Park High School’s girls varsity swimming and diving team – junior Jamey Amador, freshman Nathalie Martillo and junior Hailey Quinn – were recently awarded All-League status for their exceptional performance in the 200-meter freestyle relay.

For the month of December, the Deer Park High School Spanish Honor Society newsletter focused on holiday celebrations. The members discussed the history of celebrations and highlighted the similarities and differences between holidays such as Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Three Kings Day, Eid and Chinese New Year. Junior Dimitra Pavlatos interviewed Spanish Honor Society member Sarah Naqvi about her background and the way her family celebrates the different holidays of their cultures. Member Tiffany Bala spoke with the high school social worker, Mrs. Nelson-Williams, and reported that many faculty members, clubs and neighbors contribute to the annual Giving Tree and join together to support Deer Park families in need. Other cultural contributions were shared by the International Culture Club, Pen Society, Black Student Union, Muslim Student Association, Gay Straight Alliance and Deer Park High School Library. We hope you enjoy reading this month's newsletter and that you and your families had a very Happy New Year!
