About the Contributor
Jasmine Mootooveran, Games Editor
Jasmine is a junior at Townsend Harris High School. She is interested in pursuing engineering, and in her free time, she likes to fold origami and play tennis. Her favorite Classic piece she has ever worked on is the spotlight article about Mr. Kadamani’s running journey. It was truly inspiring to learn about his story and how his journey influences other students as well. Her favorite Classic piece created by others is an article by the 2021-2022 Editorial Board about freeing all student newspapers from the threat of censorship. A school that censors its newspaper prioritizes its image rather than the safety of the environment students are in.
