Students find a place to indulge a love for literature in creative afterschool club.
So much for the myth that the art of writing has been lost on texting teens. An after-school Literary Journal club at Middletown High School North doubled in size from last year, to 30 students. On Tuesdays, members are gathering to share a passion for the printed word as they work together to produce a small book of art and prose. Co-Editor Sydney Forte, 18, said the club had become a sort of salon for creative thought for the young members. "They're discussing books, suggesting books and borrowing them from each other," she said. Her 18-year old co-editor and running buddy, Cheyenne Zani, said, "When you come to Viewpoint, you read what you want to read -- not what you have to read," said "You share in a nice and warm environment, …

But the greater school community is doing what it can to embrace the families, in a show of support. "They've lost everything," said Middletown HS North Guidance Counselor Stefanie Lefurge. "They lost the first floors of their homes, the yearbook, the sports equipment, clothes," she said. Lefurge said she has been surprised how students who were affected by Sandy have shown reluctance to accept donations because they think others may need it more, and equally surprised by the …
