Subway. Eat Fresh.
By Harpreet Kaur
During this time of year, teens try to look for diet plans just before summer hits. Some start the gym and others go on serious diets. For those who just cant do diets, there is an easier way, where someone can eat anything they prefer with their friends and diet at the same place.
This Fresh Fit meal provided in your local Subway stores has fewer calories, trans fat and saturated fat than a McDonalds Big Mac and Burger Kings Whopper meal. Unlike the Big Mac and Whopper, the sandwiches in Subway are given in many varieties, such as chicken, turkey, ham and much more.
The subway Fresh Fit has been tried out by many people. With this diet, individuals are able to accessorize what they want to eat. A person can make up their own meal consisting of any regular 6” sandwich with yogurt, raisins, or apple slices and with water, diet Pepsi or 1% milk. And for vegetarians, a vegetarian delight sandwich would be a reasonable choice.
Students in Jamaica High School have both approved and disapproved this diet.
: It seems like a good and tasty diet that I’m sure many would love to try, however to be on such a diet is like very expensive,” said senior Navjot Singh. “ Who would want to spend 20 dollars everyday for lunch and dinner.”
Although this might be a true situation for many, others would like to try this mean and check out the outcome.
“I tried this for a month I think and it works,” said Junior, Layla Nashel. “ I recommend it to everyone who doesn’t like to do diets just like myself.”
So, if you’re in the mood to lose some weight without any stress start the Subway Fresh Fit diet and check out the results yourself.

Shield Making Workshop
By Harpreet Kaur
It’s been the fourth year, and the shield making tradition still stands in Jamaica High School. It’s a requirement for all ninth grade Gateway students to attend the shield making workshop after school.
This workshop lasted from March 24th to the 28th from 2:50 to 4:50 p.m. Ms. Wolff, an English teacher, worked hard to organize this event. “I think it’s a great experience, a good follow up act to the mask making and it gives students a chance to bond and do something creative,” Ms. Wolff stated. “ They wrote a superhero short story a couple of weeks ago. So, a lot of the students chose them and relate it with their shields.”
During the beginning of this event, everyone gathered around to see a demonstration by visitor Gabriel Quirk. Students were required to make shields with cardboard and decorate it with many essentials. Students had to cut out different shapes for their shields. Later on. Students painted their shields with whatever they preferred, which ranged from cartoon characters all the way to something that was related to nature.
Gabriel Q., a skilled mask and shield making artist, comes to visit Jamaica High School every year to help out. “I love it, coming for the second time in spring and working with the same kids.”
Throughout the workshop here was passion and spirit spread across the room. Not only was there fun and games, students helped one another out with their shields. “This is so fun, I get to hang out with my friends and get to do something creative after a long time” said Rebecca Georgiapeach.
Another visitor also showed up at Jamaica High School. Retired English teacher Mr. Croonquist dropped by to show some support to the freshmen Gateway class. “It’s fun to come back to see the kids and different teachers. It’s such a beautiful school,” said Mr. Croonquist.
During the end of the workshop, students started to finish up their last minute work and helped teachers out by cleaning up their mess. The fourth year of shield making in Jamaica High School has been a triumphant for the freshmen Gateway class.
