It has just been announced that the Flame, the widely respected Golda Och Academy newspaper, has won the Pulitzer Prize, the highest award in journalism. “That’s great, does it mean we have a no-homework day?” an anonymous student asked.

Ms. Hopkins is a superhero. Since she began working at Golda Och Academy five years ago, she has been a force of nature and not even a global pandemic can stop her.

Even though the middle schoolers are smarter, the high schoolers can also handle using robotic materials with adult supervision. By Eve Askin ‘22 and Hannah Lancman ‘22

Recently, students from grades six through eight have been requesting that middle school students be able to participate in any and all high school extracurricular activities.

In a shocking turn of events, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene recently announced her bid for every Student Council position at Golda Och Academy, a small Jewish day school located in New Jersey. The news was delivered at a press conference held at the U.S. Capitol building on Feb. 18. “I am a firm believer in the power of government on all levels,” Greene claimed during the press conference. “More specifically, I am a firm believer in the use of Jewish space lasers by said government.” By Mimi Lebeau ‘24
Since the founding of the United States, men have always been favored in society. They were given a better education, more rights and a larger variety of opportunities. For this reason, it is often thought that since men established the country and were at the forefront of the government for so long, that there is no room for another male pioneer. Wrong. |
