For the sixth
consecutive year, the North Tonwanda Northstar High School Yearbook has
won an annual award from Josten's. The publication earned the 2015
Regional Sample award, which is the second highest award the company
presents during its annual award program to recognize outstanding work on high school yearbooks throughout the U.S. Jostens will use the 2015
yearbook as a sample to show other schools its quality of journalism,
thematic elements, thematic design, photography, cover design and
overall design concept. On June 3rd, North Tonwanda accepted the award
during an awards banquet at the Hotel Lafayette. In attendance were
yearbook 
co-advisors, Heather Sicoli and Lindsay Hojnowski, and student
editors-in-chief, Olivia Keller and Kelsey Shank.
The 2015 yearbook is titled "Our Production" and used the marquee at the Riveria Theater, in downtown North Tonawanda, as their inspiration. This theater and movie theme is carried throughout the issue by the use of movie quotes, famous lines from actors, and side borders on each page to represent stage curtains. It highlighted students
as the “stars” of the
book. It also included an Oscars’ page and a spread describing the
history of the Riviera Theater.
“It was an exceptional honor to receive this award, since this was our first year co-advising the yearbook committee.” Said Heather Sicoli and Lindsay Hojnowski (co-advisors). In response to receiving the award, “I can’t stop smiling.” Olivia Keller (co-editor-in-chief).
The creation of this 2015 yearbook was possible because of all the hard work and dedication the students put into it. The Northstar yearbook staff consists of: Kelsey Shank, Olivia Keller, Alisha Schottmiller, Georgia Kijowski, Jenna Wilard, Crista
Sukennik, Melissa DiVirgilio,
Theresa Bork, Madeline Gampp, Sarah Heverin, Emily St. Cyr, Max Cohn,
and Hunter Winch.
