Shalhevet news online: When we know it, you'll know it

The Boiling Point

Ari Feuer, Opinion Editor

Having written an article for the paper even before his Freshman year at Shalhevet, Ari Feuer quickly found himself a niche at The Boiling Point.  Ari rose to Sports Editor at the middle of his Sophomore year and enjoyed a full year writing about Firehawk action until taking on the Opinion Editorship this semester.  The Junior immerses himself in The Boiling Point, the varsity basketball team, and the Model Congress debate team, and can commonly be found on the Sport Court ready to play an intense ballgame.  Don't shy away from writing those Letters to Editor!
