Seventeen students received awards for their participation in the National French Contest (NFC) at a ceremony that took place at Chestnut Hill College on May 18. The NFC is an annual exam open to every school in the country. More than 100,000 students nationally completed the exam this year. Top rank national winners scored in the 85th percentile or above.

The following MFS students were top rank national winners: juniors Carolyn Chelius, Katherine Churchill, Val Demuynck and Karan Hiremath; sophomore Maggie Fischer; freshmen Sarah Applegate and Lisa Eiffes; eighth graders Carly Teitelbaum and David Howarth and seventh grader Alexandra Katsnelson.

The MFS French teachers are Patricia Gilbert and Emily Romero.

MFS students won 38 medal placements as a result of their performance on the 2011 National Spanish Examinations, which were taken by more than 135,000 students this year.  The National Spanish Examinations are administered annually in grades 6 through 12, and are sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. Seventy-three MFS students earned recognition for their performance on the exam.

Gold medalists from MFS were junior Katherine Churchill and sophomores Ashleigh Cartwright and Aviana Duca. Silver medalists were juniors Edward Barrett, Angel Mathew and Julia Rudolph; sophomores Lauren Carney, Benjamin Herman, Andrew Jaffe, Reena Karasin, Joseph Kiernan and Daphni Sawyer; freshmen Lauren Brill, Astrid Caruso, Aerin Cox, Alicia Hutchinson and Eliezer Cartagena; eighth graders Alexander Master and Adam Mohsen-Breen, and seventh grader Samuel Milligan.

Senior Peter Barna was one of 335 high school athletes awarded $120,000 in college scholarships at the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association's 18th Annual Scholar-Athletes Luncheon on Sunday, May 15. He was awarded a $1,000 scholarship by the New Jersey State Coaches Association. Barna was an honorable mention selection to the Friends Schools League boys soccer all-star team and received the MFS boys soccer Coaches Award. He also started in the outfield for the baseball team.

“The scholar-athletes we recognize at this luncheon are among the highest-achieving, most athletically-talented high school students in New Jersey,” said NJSIAA Executive Director Steve Timko “They are a credit to their schools, their families and their communities, and the NJSIAA is proud to honor them.”

The scholarships, donated by NJSIAA corporate sponsors and other organizations supportive of high school sports in New Jersey, are awarded by random drawings.

All the scholar-athletes’ names are entered in the drawings for all scholarships for which they are eligible. While some scholarships are only available to students attending schools in specific counties or participating in specific sports, most are offered statewide to students in all sports.
