Caring f the children of the w ld

JENNIFER YOEL
GUEST WRITER

I recently traveled to Cartagena,

Columbia, with a small group of

colleagues through the Cultural

Care’s Kids First organization. I

was one of nine colleagues cho-

sen to represent Kids First, which

“provides resources to support

organizations that strive to make

a lasting di erence in the lives of

children in need around the world

(this includes the United States).”

On Day 1, we sorted through

hundreds of donations to bring

to each organization. I created an

Amazon wishlist for the organi-

zations I was visiting and reached

out to my Facebook circle. To

my surprise, I had received more

donations than even requested!

My biggest fear was being able

to transport all of the items. e Sharing a hug with a preschooler at La Arts and crafts with children on the Isla Tierra Bomba during a visit to the 100 children who do not

Welcome,

e PQ garden planted and maintained by the Grade 5
classes is now o cially part of the North Salem Pollinator
Pathway. e Pathway is an initiative taken by North Salem
Open Land Foundation (NSOLF) and its partners in hopes
of engaging and educating the North Salem community
about the relationship between native plants and pollinators.

e goal is to maintain a pollinator-friendly environment by
creating a corridor of interconnected properties, both private
and public, that encourages the use of native plants
and supports and promotes biodiversity. Joining
the endeavor to attract bees, butter ies, birds and
insects by planting native plants on your property
can be as small as a container garden or as
big as a meadow. To become part

money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be: • Combined with any other consumer deposit offer. • Reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells
Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying
linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and
discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable standard interest rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is

North Salem’s summer league: a learning experience

BY CHRIS LOVELL Christina Krista Demodna attacks the ball
CONTRIBUTING WRITER Giacomo

e focus of the summer sea-
son for the North Salem eld
hockey team is on learning,
according to Coach Jennifer
Frohman.

For many of the players who
will play during the academic
year, the summer is a chance to
see how other teams approach
the game, and bring back new
skills with a chance to try them
out.

is year, North Salem saw
seven seniors graduate, which
leaves a big gap for the rising
players to ll, Frohman said.

“Filling their shoes has been
one of our biggest struggles—
and that is a realization every
Summer,” she said.

Despite that struggle, she said
their summer season has been
successful. “I’ve seen many play-
ers step up and step into new
things that they haven’t done
before,” she said.

North Salem played a nal
against Mahopac on ursday,
July 25, which ended in a vic-
torious shootout after a 2-2 tie
in regulation. Going into the
shootout, the team felt comfort-
able, Frohman said.

e “Best-of- ree” shootout had
three successful shots by North Sa-
lem, and all three shots by Mahopac
were blocked by their goalie—who
was lling in from the Yorktown
team.

“We’ve grown from the beginning
of the summer until now,” Frohman.
“ e girls are feeling more com-
fortable stepping into new roles,”
Frohman said. North Salem’s sum-
mer season wrapped up Friday, July
27, when they lost to Rondout Valley
in the nals, 3-1.
