Ms. Magagnoli's Physics students used laser pointers to measure the thickness of hair this week. When pointing the beam of the laser pointer directly at a stretched hair, the hair splits the beam to create an interference pattern when projected onto a surface. By measuring the spacing between the bright spots, as well as the distance between the hair and wall, and by knowing the wavelength of the light from the laser pointer, students can calculate the thickness of the hair.

MPH Senior Matthew Roberson was unanimously appointed as the first Teen/Youth Member of the YMCA of Central New York Association Board of Directors. Matthew's outstanding character and his impressive record of achievements made him an ideal choice for this new position on our Board, said the YMCA.

Students Pitch Innovative Ideas to MPH's Own Shark Tank

From an app that turns any set of headphones into noise-canceling headphones to a lens adaptor that allows for switching of lenses between camera bodies, MPH students in Mrs. McBennett's Entrepreneurial Studies class presented to a Shark Tank of MPH investors this week, which included Mr. Zlomek's father, Ryan, and the School's Director of Finance and Operations Sue VanderMeer.

Lights & Magic joined Grade 2 for the weekly Upper School presentation this week, and the young students were thrilled to learn about the MPH video production team. Seniors Simon Fortner, Nick Trivelpiece, and Jake Aretsky conducted a well-planned presentation on how they became the production group they are today. They were initially asked to stream live sports events when spectators were not able to attend in-person during the early days of COVID, starting with streaming just video at the first games and then eventually adding audio, graphics, commentating, and replay capabilities. In the past two years, the team has televised MPH sporting events, plays, and concerts to the families and to the MPH community via their Trojan TV channel on YouTube. Jake, Simon and Nick told the students how as a team they continually revise and improve their video work and that they each spend about 10 to 13 hours a week streaming games, producing the all-school meetings and working on other various projects for the school.
