                The wrestling season has come to close and the coaches and athletes are receiving recognition for their hard work. The wrestling managers have been left in the shadows.
                “A wrestling manager is a person who helps out with the wrestling team in whatever way possible,” said sophomore Erin Miklus. There are a total of 12 managers that helped with the team this year which is a lot according to Miklus.
                “As wrestling managers we clean the mats, clean up blood, take stats and enter them into the computers, video tape, tag the videos on huddle, get water bottles, we pretty much do anything they ask. We buy the wrestlers stuff sometimes. We basically just get everything ready for the team,” said sophomore Anna Sargent. Both Miklus and Sargent got involved in wrestling in the same way- their brothers.
                “When my brother wrestled, I wanted to be a part of wrestling because I got close with the coaches and overall just liked the sport,” said Sargent. There are many great opportunities that come with being a wrestling manager here at Southeast Polk.
                “Being a wrestling manager is super fun and it’s not what everyone thinks. Sometimes we get to leave school early and we get free t-shirts, but it’s not a reason to join the wrestling manager staff, you actually have to understand the sport,” said Miklus. The managers are always happy to have new managers join the staff and can’t wait to see what new season brings and what new faces will be on the mat and working behind the scenes.
                “If you are looking to join next year please know what you’re doing. I mean we love new people and we love being a part of something great here at Southeast Polk, but if you’re going to join at least know what you’re doing,” said Sargent.
                The wrestling season may be over but the coaches, athletes and managers are already excited for the 2015-2016 season.

Kaelee Kessee Managing Editor                  In social studies Eric Gross’s AP Human Geography class, students have been learning the skill of answering essay questions that will be seen on the AP tests this May.                 The questions are known as Free Response Questions or FRQs for short. The questions are centered on the material learned in the class throughout the semester. The most recent FRQ pertained to the information learned in the second unit of the book over population and migration.                 The students had the opportunity to take their first FRQs home to work on them overnight.                 “I thought that for the first one it would be good to do a take home assignment to gently get [them] into it. Next we’ll be doing one in class and eventually as a test,” said Gross.                 When grading the tests, Gross looks at the responses the way any AP grader would when looking at them this summer.                 “I look for: Did you answ

These aren’t just ordinary sticky notes, on every single sticky note there is an inspirational quote to start your day.                 During spring break, students that are a part of stand for the silent got together and made a sticky note for every single locker in this school. Mrs. Goodrich is in charge of this club and actually came up with the idea. “We did it to uplift people after coming back from break,” sophomore Cassidy Oberbroeckling said.                 When asking other students what they thought of the idea, they responded with positive feedback. “It was a very good idea and it was cool to walk around and see all of the different messages,” senior Nic Henderson said.                 Doing these creative messages can really help to brighten a student’s day after everyone
