A MIDWINTER NIGHT’S DREAM

A MIDWINTER NIGHT’S DREAM

www.amnd.org/12.html
A Midwinter Night’s Dream is an annual charity fundraiser held by The Northport High School chapter of the National Honor Society that supports Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research. To date they have raised $722,000 for ALS Research and families afflicted with the disease.

Besides raising funds and awareness for ALS, the students have begun their quest to find a cure. In 2006, the student committee hosted a research symposium entitled: “Can nanoscience and technology accelerate our search for a cure for ALS?” This meeting created opportunities for Northport High School students to become active participants of ALS Research in both the clinical and laboratory setting. Due to the success of A Midwinter Night’s Dream, they have been able to support numerous ALS organizations and fund their research.

EDUCATIONAL MENTORING THROUGH THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES

The EMTAH (Educational Mentoring through the Arts & Humanities) approach incorporates strength-based creative arts instruction and mentoring to help students recognize their strengths, develop character, and become self-motivated and personally responsible. EMTAH believes that three of the most important characteristics of a successful human being are a well developed sense of ethics, the ability to think independently, and the desire to deeply understand oneself. EMTAH helps people cultivate these qualities through its progressive strength-based arts mentoring approach. EMTAH can also provide the turning point for at risk students by freeing their innate desire to grow out of their cocoon of isolation, self-consciousness and fear of failure. Teachers hold students to high standards while adjusting to diverse learning styles, abilities and needs.
