Can you find her?
Students at New Hyde Park can expect to find a familiar face roaming the halls of NHP: Ms. Gelber. Through the eyes of a student at New Hyde Park, Gelber remains hidden within the heights of the miniature seventh graders. After further inspection, Gelber’s white bright hair flashes upon the eyes of her students, leaving a rather surprised expression on their faces.
Gelber had left NHP with the goal of climbing every mountain in the world, a goal she longed to achieve since becoming a teacher. Turns out, climbing every mountain was only the first accomplishment checked off her list, finishing the goal within 62 days. Not only did this achievement bring Gelber great gratification, but she also managed to set a Guinness World record for most mountains climbed in the shortest amount of time.
“Unbelievable, simply out of this world. Everyone should try to be like Gelber and achieve the visions you have for yourself. Gelber really took, ‘there ain’t no mountain high enough,’ to the next level, proving her courage, strength and overall amazingness,” professional hiker Darsh Mirchandani said.
Following her mountain climbing phenomenon, Gelber put herself out there on social media, advertising the fact that she would like to collaborate with fellow biologists. After all, teaching at NHP did make her quite the biologist. In the span of a week, Gelber received responses from world famous scientists and biologists. She ultimately decided to work with the GOAT himself—Charles Darwin. Some even say Gelber helped shape Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.
“It’s true. As one of the biologists at the time, I must say, Gelber should not be hidden in the dark for Darwin’s theory. In full honesty, it’s simply unfair,” Jean-Baptiste Lamarck said.
Folks, the story does not end here. After Gelber’s collaboration with Charles came to an end, she happened to gather JUST A BIT of moolah. Yet, what is even more shocking is what she decided to do with the money. Gelber went down in history for donating billions of dollars to poor scientists who lacked the resources to advance their education. By doing so, Gelber received the Nobel Peace Prize, making herself a global figure in scientific philanthropy.
One year later, Gelber’s story concludes back at the same place as she started: New Hyde Park Memorial High School. Now, Gelber is teaching students in the classroom again, providing a face of inspiration and encouragement to everyone around the building. Gelber’s legacy, larger than the crowd of seventh graders, will forever be engraved in NHP’s roots.
