It seems impossible to be a student at Mamaroneck High School yet be oblivious to the incessant chatter these past few weeks concerning the electro/hip-hop duo Timeflies. On Feb. 4, MHS Student Council organized a concert featuring Timeflies in the Post Gym. While it is atypical for such a renowned band to perform at a high school, the foreman of the group, Cal Shapiro, happens to be a veteran of MHS.

On Jan. 29, approximately 35 students and 20 teachers and administrators from the Beijing 101 High School visited MHS for a cultural exchange. For weeks before the visit, students in the Mamaroneck School District’s Chinese classes and their teachers worked on the program that included songs, tours of the school and a joint art activity. The teachers hoped that it would be an opportunity for their students to practice their language skills and to learn more about the lives of students from China. Michelle Liu, one of the Chinese teachers at MHS who helped coordinate the exchange, said, “This is a golden opportunity [for the students] to use their best Chinese to communicate with our visitors.”

Because Applebee’s Mamaroneck location was closed, MHS FBLA held the event at the chain’s location in New Rochelle. In total, FBLA sold 75 tickets and raised $900 for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
