re closely related to the United States, from politics and the arts to cuisine and music. Understanding the contributions made by Hispanic Americans to the development of society, the cultural customs that remain, and the need to continue to acknowledge and celebrate these achievements requires a knowledge of Hispanic Heritage Month.
During the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1868, Hispanic Heritage Month was first acknowledged as Hispanic Heritage Week. Ronald Reagan, the president, signed legislation extending it to a whole month in 1988, twenty years later. September 15 was picked as the official start date on purpose. While Mexico celebrates on September 16 and Chile on September 18, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua celebrate on this date as Independence Day. These dates reflect the spirit of determination and dedication many Hispanic countries share. By creating this, the United States recognized the importance of Hispanic communities and their greater influence on the history and culture of the country.
Nowadays, educational facilities, museums, and neighborhood associations all recognize Hispanic Heritage Month. Cultural celebrations, art exhibitions, movies, TV shows, classes, and special guests are all examples of gatherings. Social media initiatives also enhance Hispanic voices, enabling the next generation to connect with their heritage and passionately express who they are. Activities have evolved into a means of recognizing the past and showcasing the continued contributions of Hispanic Americans to the nation'sfuture.

NATIONAL ALZHEIMER’S AWARENESS MONTH
ALZHEIMERS DISEASE
OVER FIFTY-FIVE MILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HAVE SOME CASE OF DEMENTIA, AND SIXTY TO SEVENTY PERCENT OF THESE CASES ARE ALZHEIMER'S, WHICH MEANS THAT OVER 10 MILLION PEOPLE SUFFER FROM THIS DISEASE WORLDWIDE. ALZHEIMER'S IS A PROGRESSIVE NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE THAT AFFECTS MILLIONS WORLDWIDE; IT SLOWLY ROBS INDIVIDUALS OF THEIR MEMORY, PERSONALITY, IDENTITIES, AND CONNECTIONS TO THE WORLD AROUND THEM. THIS DISEASE IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON DISEASES OF DEMENTIA. AS GLOBAL CASES GO UP, SEPTEMBER MARKS WORLD ALZHEIMER'S MONTH, WHICH IS WHY WE AIM TO RAISE AWARENESS AND PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING AMONG INDIVIDUALS WHO SUPPORT THOSE AFFECTED BY ALZHEIMER'S, WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF HELPING PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER'S.
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE IS A BATTLE A LOT OF OLDER PEOPLE EXPERIENCE; THIS CONDITION DOES NOT JUST AFFECT THE ONES WHO HAVE RECEIVED AN ALZHEIMER’S DIAGNOSIS, BUT ALSO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SURROUNDED BY THEM. THE PEOPLE AROUND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE HAVE GONE THROUGH BATTLES AS WELL, SO THIS MONTH, WE SHOULD ALSO CELEBRATE THE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO HELP AND ACT PRESENT IN SUPPORTING THOSE WHO GO THROUGH THIS TRAGIC OBSTACLE. IT HURTS SEEING YOUR LOVED ONES FORGET ABOUT YOU. NOT MANY PEOPLE SEE HOW MUCH PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER'S SUFFER OR HOW MUCH THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM SUFFER.
THIS PROGRESSIVE CONDITION IS KNOWN TO BE ONE OF THE SADDEST DISEASES ONE CAN SUFFER FROM. THIS IS BECAUSE THE BRAIN BEGINS TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS, MEMORY AND THE ABILITY TO DO SIMPLE TASKS. OVER TIME THE ILLNESS BECOMES MORE SEVERE UP TO THE POINT WHERE PATIENTS FORGET THEIR NAME, SPEAK AND EVEN EAT.
THIS OCCURS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE BRAIN GOES THROUGH ABNORMAL CHANGES, INCLUDING THE BUILDUP OF AMYLOID PLAQUES AND TAU TANGLES, THAT DISRUPT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NEURONS AND LEAD TO CELL DEATH. THESE CHANGES TRIGGER INFLAMMATION, REDUCE ENERGY METABOLISM, AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE WIDESPREAD BRAIN SHRINKAGE AND LOSS OF FUNCTION, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MEMORY AND DECISION-MAKING. THE TRAGIC CONDITION IS LIKELY TO TAKE LIVES BECAUSE PATIENTS FORGET HOW TO COMPLETE ESSENTIAL TASKS SUCH AS BREATHING; THEREFORE, THE DISEASE IS KNOWN TO BE ONE OF THE SADDEST AND MOST DANGEROUS OF ITS KIND.
OVERALL, ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE IS MORE THAN A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS; IT’S A PROFOUND EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL JOURNEY THAT AFFECTS MILLIONS OF LIVES ACROSS THE GLOBE. AS WE HONOR WORLD ALZHEIMER’S MONTH, LET US NOT ONLY RAISE AWARENESS OF THE DEVASTATING BIOLOGICAL CHANGES THAT ROB INDIVIDUALS OF THEIR MEMORIES AND IDENTITIES, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZE THE STRENGTH AND COMPASSION OF CAREGIVERS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES WHO WALK THIS DIFFICULT PATH ALONGSIDE THEM. BY FOSTERING UNDERSTANDING AND EMPATHY, WE CAN BUILD A WORLD THAT SUPPORTS THOSE AFFECTED AND WORKS TOWARD A FUTURE WHERE ALZHEIMER’S NO LONGER STEALS WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE.
Your Life Matters: Teen Suicide Prevention
Writen by: Stella Rodríguez
To every teenage girl reading this whether you're feeling overwhelmed, lost, or just curious this message is for you Your life matters Your pain is real And you are not alone.
Teenage years can be beautiful, but they can also be incredibly hard. Social pressure, body image issues, academic stress, family problems, and navigating friendships or relationships all of it can feel like too much Sometimes, it feels easier to hide the pain than talk about it Sometimes, the thoughts get dark
If you've ever felt like that, you're not the only one. In fact, suicide is one of the leading causes of death among teenage girls today. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Suicide is preventable, and there is always help, always hope, and always another way forward. Girls often face a unique set of pressures From a young age, society tells you how you should look, behave, or succeed You may feel like you’re expected to be perfect pretty, smart, kind, popular, thin, successful, funny, but not “too much ” That kind of pressure can crush your self-worth.
Social media can make it worse. Scrolling through Instagram or TikTok, it may seem like everyone else has it all together But remember this: what you see online is not real life Most people only post the best moments and hide the rest Then there’s bullying whether in real life or online Words can hurt deeply Being called names, excluded, or harassed can feel unbearable, especially if you’re already struggling inside. It’s okay to admit you’re struggling. It doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human.
If you or a friend is having thoughts about self-harm or suicide, don’t ignore it Pay attention to changes in behavior or mood, such as:
• Constant sadness or hopelessness
• Withdrawing from friends or family
• Loss of interest in things once enjoyed
• Talking about death or saying things like “I wish I weren’t here”
• Self-harm (like cutting or burning)
• Sudden calmness after a period of depression (this can be a warning sign too)
You don’t have to be a professional to help someone or to get help for yourself Talk to someone you trust: a friend, teacher, counselor, parent, or doctor. If no one seems to listen, keep asking until someone does. Your voice matters. There is no shame in needing help Going to therapy doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re brave enough to face what hurts Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, or anything else, talking to a mental health professional can make a huge difference
If you're afraid to ask for help, remember you don't have to explain everything at once. You can start small. Even just saying, “I’m not okay right now” is a powerful step. If you're ever in immediate danger or thinking about hurting yourself, call or text a crisis line You can dial or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline available 24/7, free and confidential
There are people who care about you, some you already know, and some you haven’t met yet. There are future friendships, dreams, relationships, travels, and moments of joy that are waiting for you. You deserve to be here to experience them. Healing doesn’t happen overnight Some days are harder than others But every day you choose to stay is an act of courage
Teen suicide prevention starts with one simple truth: you matter Speak up Reach out Keep going. This world needs your voice, your story, your light. Stay.
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
By: Ceciliana Díaz
Millions of women all over the world suffer from breast cancer, and many more live every day knowing that there's a chance that their lives might change forever after that one mastectomy. The World Health Organization stated that in 2022, approximately 670,000 breast cancer deaths were reported. Poor access to healthcare contributes to the absurd number of deaths from this disease. It is essential that these women who fight every day to receive the recognition they deserve for being such warriors and pushing through every day to survive. Getting checked, especially if breast cancer is prevalent in your family, is a priority for a lot of women. According to the website "Breastcancer.org", October 13 is nationally recognized in the United States as Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day Despite the growing number of people living with metastatic disease, most money for breast cancer research doesn't go toward studying it. Although detection has improved, healthy lifestyle choices are vital to reduce the impact of breast cancer.
Here at CPN, we take this to heart. Together by Pink was created eleven years ago by students when an ex-alumni was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 39. Although sh had the resources and the access to treat her condition, she strongly desired to reach out and help those who were not as fortunate. From then on, this initiative was born to ensure nobody felt alone in such a complex process Over time, the initiative grew thanks to the children of former alums, who inspired the creation of Together by Pink by incorporating many schools into the movement. What they saw in this movement was an opportunity to unite different schools to work toward a common cause, not as competition but as a shared mission to donate what is raised collectively. The initiative supports Susan G. Komen Puerto Rico by raising funds through creative efforts such as Tulips with a Cause, a $10 donation fo a personalized tulip with a patient's name. All the money collected supports mammograms, biopsies, and patient support programs in Puerto Rico. This student-led initiative is a collaborative effort to raise awareness about breast cancer and make a meaningful impact on the community.
In conclusion, initiatives like Together by Pink here at CPN remind us how crucial awareness and action are for the sake of many people's lives. While this disease takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of women each year, communities that come together to support prevention, research, and patient care prove that change is possible. The battle against the enemy, many of these women know as breast cancer, is not just a battle the patients and the doctors are fighting; humanity is in this too because it requires compassion, education, and collaboration to put a stop to bring a problem like this to light. We honor the strength of those survivors, and remember those we've lost to work toward a future where no one has to face this fight alone.

Suicide Prevention Month
By: Cibel Mayoral and Julia Billoch
September is Suicide Prevention Month in the United States. This month is dedicated to understanding suicide, giving information about mental health, and working together to prevent self-harm. Some families, schools, and communities use this month to talk about mental health struggles and to remind everyone that help is available.
Many people find September a critical time to learn more, offer support to friends and family, and share messages that can save a life. Suicide Prevention Month is also a reminder that we all have a reason to live; even small actions, like just listening, can make a big difference.

Halloween @ CPN
HOW CPN BRINGS THE MAGIC (AND THE SCARES) TO HALLOWEEN.
WHERE THE SCARES BEGIN
The haunted house is the highlight for older students. This year, the Theater Club is leading the way, with help from the student council, the Decoration Comitee, and many volunteers. The theater is being transformed into a maze of eerie decorations, creative sets, and surprising twists.
“We saw how much the community enjoyed it last year and we thought it would be a fun idea to bring it back,” said Jimena García, vice president of the Theater Club. “We want everyone to feel like they’ve gone into another world.”
Halloween is right around the corner, and our school is preparing to celebrate in two very different, but equally fun, ways. On the same day, students can brave a haunted house set up in the theater or watch as preschoolers enjoy a magical princess breakfast. Together, these events show how Halloween can be both spooky and sweet.
Meanwhile, the youngest members of our school community will be starting their day with the princess breakfast. Designed especially for students from Pre-Pre K to Kindergarten, the event is run by the Service Comitee and supported by the student council. It allows children to dress up, meet their favorite characters, and feel like royalty,
Blanca Nuñez, a student at CPN who participated as Snow White last year, is returning again this fall. “I chose her because my name is Blanca, which connects to Blanca Nieves,” she said “I’ve always felt a special tie to her, and I admire how kind and gentle she is.”
Nuñez said the best part is the children’s excitement. “I love seeing the little girls’ faces light up when they meet their favorite princesses, it feels magical to bring their fairytales to life,” she said.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Halloween only comes once a year, but these celebrations make it clear that our school knows how to do it right. Whether you’re creeping through the haunted theater or twirling through the princess breakfast, Halloween at CPN is full of fun for all ages.

Casper
RosaElenaDeZengotita
There is a friendly ghost, named Casper, that lives in a mansion. Dr. Harvey and his daughter, Kat, move into the haunted mansion, hoping to get rid of its ghosts.
Casper and Kat quickly become friends.
Casper’s ghostly uncles try to scare the living. Dr. Harvey is still trying to get rid of the ghosts.
Casper, with help from Kat's mother's spirit, attempts to become human to be with Kat, but as the clock strikes 10, he turns back into a ghost.
After briefly experiencing humanity, Casper accepts his ghost form and is able to spend time with Kat.
Casper and Kat have found a way to coexist, and Kat is no longer lonely, living in the house with the ghost she has befriended.
The Witch
ByMicaelaE.ReyesColon
C.S. Lewis’s poem “The Witch” warns of beauty’s peril and the power of manipulation. The witch is no ordinary villain, her charm is a weapon, her words a trap. Condemned to the flames, she remains a haunting symbol of temptation and ruin.
She wove her words like chains of fire. A voice that bent the heart’s desire. Her beauty, venom dressed in grace. A fatal spell, a flawless face. They lit the pyre, the crowd stood still, For beauty kills, and bends the will.
Friday the 13th
Friends are scared, hiding tigh
Running fast in the night
In the cabin, the doors are clo
Don’t know who will be exposed
A little scream, the silent falls
You hear footsteps through the halls.
The mask is scary, eyes so bright
Hiding someone in the night
Everyone tries not to scream.
Too many surprises around the room
Hiding from danger
It’s hard to know where to go
Running fast, moving slow
The night is full of fright
Every corner might cause fright
Everyone hopes morning will come
Nobody wants the night to be done.
