Happy Valentine’s Day! Now, let us catch up on the past week.
Last week, there was a “Guess The Staff Member Contest” with old pictures of teachers throughout the high school. This encouraged students to be more involved with school activities while also having fun guessing which staff member was whom.
Each student had the opportunity to fill out a form with their best guesses. The top three students to guess the most correct staff members would receive a $10 Starbucks gift card.
The winners of this contest were announced last Friday: Gianna Kos (8th grade), Grace Paul (8th grade), and our very own, Malak Chafki (9th grade).
In addition to the contest, recently, some of Mr. Kasper’s Murals class finished the main pillar in the front entrance hallway.
“Mr. Hare gave us a request that we decorate the pillar with phrases of support for the students who walk into the building,” stated Kasper.
Sophomore Brianna Boone and freshmen Anisha Monger, Yasmeen Issa, and Chassidy (Cody) Wilson each worked on one side of the pillar.
Boone worked on the sports side of the pillar and knew that its completion would take time: “It took a lot of time because I had to make sure the stripes looked good. I had to make sure it looked like an actual sports ball. It was very tedious but worth it.”
Monger worked on the side with the multiple suns: “First, I made my preliminary sketch, and I worked out the sizing for everything. I played around with the sizing and next, I showed Mr. Kasper for approval, and he helped me with everything. I love the final product.”
Issa worked on the cheerleaders’ side: “I freehanded and it took a lot of patience. The cheerleaders were almost identical, and I had to make sure the lines were straight. I introduced the idea of drawing the cheerleaders, and it turned out great.”
Wilson worked on the side with band instruments: “I did it based off of the band instruments and off of what Mr. Hare wanted. I worked really hard to try to incorporate the school’s pride, and I believe that I succeeded in this feat.”
The students’ work is admired by their peers and the staff. Next time you walk by the pillar, you will fully be on board, too.
Have a great week, Brooklyn!
