Stand for the Silent Posts Sticky Notes

                Notice the sticky notes on all the lockers as you’re walking in the hallway to class? You have Stand For The Silent members to thank for that. 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 was dreading coming back to school. 

 If you would like to attend a meeting or have questions about SFTS see Mrs. Goodrich, Mrs. Henry, or Mrs. Zieman. Stand for the Silent meets every Thursday at 7:15 in room 165.

    I want to say that this was a collaboration of our group and one of our members came up with idea to do it. It was just tweaked a bit! There are also two other staff members, Haley Henry and Debra Oertle Zieman who are very involved as sponsors who are helping making this group a success! I can't take all if the credit for this. I'm very excited to see how Stand for The Silent will grow and accomplishments it will achieve over the years. We have had 110% support from the high school administration and the district, which has allowed us to do what we do. I'm so fortunate to have a group of kids who are so passionate to educate others on bullying. Although bullying will never go away completely, it is our job to raise awareness to our surroundings. If anyone is interested, we meet every Thursday at 7:15 in room 165. Please see any of the sponsors.

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
