The NBA lockout started July 1st and the season will... Read more »
A Slice of Shalheaven: Off the beaten path
Katie Feld, Staff Columnist
December 20, 2011
I sometimes find myself wondering where I’ll be in 20 years. Oftentimes I take the easy way out and choose not to think about it. For many of us students, it’s hard to imagine any life outside of the classroom. We’ve been in school for as long as we can remember. I’m in 11th grade now, and word... Read more »

A slice of Shalheaven: Serene and productive
Katie Feld, Illustrations Editor
November 7, 2011
Whoever said school ends at 4:45 flat-out lied. This isn’t a rant about co-curriculars and how much time they take up. It is, however, a formal shout-out to anyone who is freaking out over a stressful load of homework that is only getting bigger. I know I can easily spend up to three hours a night... Read more »

As Shalhevet students, do we care about how we look? We all want to feel comfortable, but have we blurred the line between comfy-and-cute and lazy-and-baggy? When it’s time to get dressed in the morning, it would seem that that most girls are choosing their outfit without much thought. “I get dressed... Read more »

August 26, 2011
In the presence of cheating, can we still stand strong with pride? Shalhevet is famous for its passionate school spirit. It is often expressed by foam fingers, red lipstick, and “Don’t you wish your high school was hot like mine” T’s. Just flip through any Shalhevet yearbook, there are always... Read more »
Keeping my core

June 28, 2011
Someone asked how Shalhevet has prepared me for the next big stage in my life. Then I realized I have no idea what lessons I will take with me since I haven’t been to college yet. All I can truthfully write about is what I know about Shalhevet’s influences on my growth as a person so far. I like... Read more »

At this time, the United States recognizes 194 independent countries. Very soon, that number may grow by at least one: an autonomous state of Palestine.
