A Paper Boat Project &
New Harmony High

Come party with us this Saturday! The Paper Boat has searched the city of New Orleans and its surrounding environs for a suitable body of water to display itself for the benefit of the people. After careful consideration of requisite ecological characteristics of flow, volume, salinity, shelter, biodiversity of native AND exotic species, and miscellaneous supernatural phenomena, the Paper Boat has made the decision that the Aquarium Gallery is the only body of water within 1,000 miles of the City of New Orleans that can contain the boat and its subsequent wake.
For these reasons, the boat is to be shown in the Aquarium’s emerald waters on May 11. It will be on view by appointment after that.
These latest stories are the work of 9 students from New Harmony High School. The boat’s core structure was made by Chris Staudinger and his father and comprised of peoples Katrina stories.

Zines of the stories will be available. Readings at 7pm

HARMONY HIGHLIGHT:

DOUBLE-FEATURE!

Asia

What is something you do well?

Cook and I am very self-reflective.  If I know I didn’t do my best, I will say it and try to do better the next time.

What is something you have learned in the past week?

It’s important to work hard for what you love to do.

What is a misconception people have about you?

People think that I am disrespectful and they think that sometimes I can be a mean person.

What is the biggest dream you have for yourself that you do not often say aloud?

I wanted to be a photographer once, but my current dream is to be a chef.

Who has had a positive influence on your life so far and how?

My sister, my mom, my grandmother, my uncle, and my friends. My sister taught me things about high school before I got there, and my friends are there when I need them.

What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

I would speak what’s on my mind because if people already think that I am disrespectful, then why not?

What do you like about New Harmony?

I like that it’s very social and we get out instead of staying in the class all the time. I also like how it’s accepting and people can be who they are.

What is something you do well?

Play and write music.

What is something you have learned in the past week?

I have been diving into music a lot, so I have learned that the simplest piece of music can be a great piece of music. Basically, something simple can be a lot greater than it seems.

What is a misconception people have about you?

A lot of people might think that I am an airhead; but once they get to know me, they find out that I am actually an intellectual kid.

What is the biggest dream you have for yourself that you do not often say aloud?

That I want to travel the world. I would really like to go to Rome because I like the style and the culture and would like to experience it.

Who has had a positive influence on your life so far and why?

My parents. They have guided me through a lot of tough times and have showed me a better way to live life. It is very eye-opening.

What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

I would play my saxophone at New Harmony more … like a lot more.

What do you like about New Harmony?

I really like the personal connection of the teachers because they are more friends than teachers.

Happy Weekend!
