          Cheerleading tryouts for the 2015-2016 school year are coming up soon! They will start on Monday, March 30 at 3:15 until about 5:00 PM and Wednesday, April 1 from 6-8:00 PM. Both of these sessions will be held in the high school commons after school.
            Friday, April 3 is when the tryouts will take place, starting at 3:45. This is when people will perform the routine and cheers that will be taught during the week.
            On Monday and Wednesday, people are encouraged to wear what they feel comfortable in for learning the routines. On Friday, people are supposed to wear a plain white shirt with black shorts, tennis shoes, and hair in a ponytail (if not long enough, somehow held away from face). A cheer bow and makeup are optional. Jewelry and painted or false nails will not be allowed.
         “Confidence is key!” said junior Carolyn Devine. “Cheer is definitely one of those things that your performance is better when you look like you are enjoying yourself and have tons of confidence.”

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
