Jam-Packed December

By: BHS News Staff

December 3, 2024

Welcome back to school, everyone. We hope that you had an amazing Thanksgiving break with a lot of good food, Black Friday deals, and quality family time.

Keep in mind that there are only 13 school days remaining in the second quarter before Christmas vacation. Now that class grades are based on semesters instead of the full year, it is imperative for all students to stay on top of their work and continue to study because the first semester finals will be held from December 17-19. No regrets!

Speaking of the first semester finals, below is the schedule.

Prior to semester finals, BHS will host a spirit week (December 9-13) for all students and staff. The Student Council just announced what each day’s theme will be.

Your school spirit is needed, so find your clothing items for next week. Also, the fun and entertaining Reindeer games will be played at the pep rally towards the end of the day on Friday, December 13. Students and staff, please sign up for this holiday tradition, and let us see who comes out on top.

Finally, with this year’s musical being announced a few weeks ago, the cast list just came out, and there is schoolwide excitement for the historic and popular, The Wizard of Oz. This production next Spring will be special.

Here is the upcoming event calendar:

December 9-13: Spirit Week
December 17-19: Semester Finals
December 20-January 5: Christmas Vacation

Have a great first week of December, Hurricane Nation!

Traditions and Favorites

By: The Return of the Eye Staff

November 26, 2024

Whether it is decorating the house for Christmas, traveling, cooking and baking with family, Black Friday shopping, or simply relaxing and watching football, Thanksgiving week is a time for families and friends to reflect, along with continuing favorite, annual traditions.

To mix it up this year, each journalist interviewed a staff member and got a better feel for their traditions and favorite aspects of Thanksgiving Day and Thanksgiving Break.

Without further ado, here is what certain staff members are looking forward to this week, from favorite foods to Thanksgiving traditions.

*Mrs. Paul (Her Mother’s Stuffing): “We get together as a family and stick to the same menu. I try to make a new dessert to try, but we go back to the same things every time because everyone wants the tried and true. Sometimes, we draw names for Secret Santa. Also, making final checks for Christmas lights since my mom lives on ‘Christmas Street’ in Fairview Park.”

*Mr. Verba (Rice Stuffing): “I like going to my sister-in-law’s house for dinner and watching the NFL football games with my in-laws. I also like watching the Macy’s Day Parade before we leave to visit.”

*Mrs. Holko (Apple Pie): “Cooking and baking for the holidays and Black Friday shopping.”

*Mr. Roegiers (Apple Pie with Sharp Cheddar Cheese): “Start by watching the parade and then gathering as a family before eating a nice meal.”

*Mr. Sedlacek (Turkey and Stuffing): “Eating with family with either side of the family, watching football, and watching the Macy’s Day Parade.”

*Miss Cramer (Stuffing): “My family hangs out together and plays games, and when I get home, I like to take a nap.”

*Mr. Shepherd (Stuffing with Gravy and Deviled Eggs): “Eating with family and watching football.”

*Mrs. Chrzan (Ham): “Before having my daughter, we used to go to my aunt’s house, and all of my family would go to my aunt’s house and spend it there. When COVID hit, we stopped doing that. My husband then made a new tradition of having Thanksgiving at our house. My family comes over to our house now to spend the day together. We just have a small Thanksgiving over here.”

{Editor’s Note: Ham over Turkey? SMH!}

*Miss Harkelroad (Stuffing): “After dinner, my family plays card games and bingo. Then afterwards, we eat dessert.”

*Mr. Zofka (Stuffing, Apple Pie, and Cream Corn): “Pretty much watching football games all day long and meeting with my family at my sister’s house to hang out with all the family from out of town.”

*Mr. Larson (Cornbread Stuffing with Sausage and Pecan Pie): “I am starting a new one, which is making dinner for my immediate family on Thursday and giving my extended family the leftovers on Friday…if they’re lucky.”

Now that you know a little bit more about our staff and their Thanksgiving traditions and favorite foods, what are yours? Please share them in the Leave a comment section below.

We would like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving! Keep those traditions alive, and be grateful for what you have. 🦃🏈

Staff Spotlight: Mrs. Grech-Scott

*Gifted Intervention Specialist*

By: BHS Staff Profiles

November 22, 2024

Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Mrs. Rachael Grech-Scott. This is currently Mrs. Grech-Scott’s first year in Brooklyn. Previously, she worked in North Carolina as a middle school teacher and in the Cleveland Public Schools as a Gifted Intervention Specialist. Some things she likes to do in her free time are travel, read, and spend time with her family. A fun fact about her is that when she was a junior in high school, she lived in Belgium for a year as an exchange student.

Q: What is the most challenging aspect of being a Gifted Intervention Specialist?

A: “Well, I work with smart kids. Finding challenges for them can be challenging. Also, helping them grow is another challenging aspect of the job.”

Q: What do you like most about the Brooklyn City School District?

A: “I love how everyone, students and staff, are so kind. It makes it a great place to work.”

Q: How do you maintain a work-life balance?

A: “I work hard to use my time wisely. When I am at school, I am doing school things. When I am at home, I do home things. I also enjoy my job so much that it does not feel like I am doing work outside of school hours.”

Q: What does an ideal workday look like to you?

A: “I think any day when students are learning and growing but also enjoying their day is a good day in my opinion.”

Q: If you could meet any celebrity, who would it be?

A: “Wolverine!”

Q: If someone wrote a book about you, what would it be titled?

A: “The Adventures of Being a Teacher, although, I do not think anyone would read it.”

Q: What was your childhood dream job? What made you change your mind?

A: “I thought I was going to be a Pediatrician when I was a kid. What made me change my mind was when I was a teenager. I realized that I wanted to work with smart kids and be a gifted teacher. I have known that since I was 15.”

Q: What is the worst holiday in your opinion?

A: “Well, I would say Thanksgiving. The reason why is because my birthday always falls on Thanksgiving every seven years. Everyone is busy with Thanksgiving, so I can never celebrate my birthday with anyone or do anything I would like to.”

Thank you for letting us interview you, Mrs. Grech-Scott. We wish you a nice Thanksgiving break, and more importantly, a wonderful birthday!

Preview: Boys & Girls Basketball

By: BHS Sports Staff

November 21, 2024

How did you enjoy the snow this morning with more to come later this evening? Snow means Winter, and Winter means basketball.

Last week, we previewed the upcoming bowling and hockey seasons, and today, we will preview the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams.

First up is the boys’ basketball team, led by long-time head coach Jeff Shepherd, who is now in year 16 of coaching. The Hurricanes lost some key seniors from a year ago, so they will look to new leaders to continue their success.

This year, they will be led by seniors Aiden Starr and Tyler Cox, along with junior Devin Hardwick. Last year as a sophomore, Hardwick averaged 15 points and seven rebounds per game. Additionally, Starr averaged seven points per game but has improved his game significantly and is looking to increase his stats. Lastly, Cox had a great Summer of skill development, but he will miss the start of the season with a wrist injury.

Coach Shepherd is optimistic that his young team will grow and improve throughout the year.

“My expectation for this year’s team is to improve daily. We have a relatively young team, so we need to improve our skills and learn how to play for each other and play together. I am excited to watch this group learn and develop as the season progresses. I really do not have expectations as far as wins/losses go, just improvement.”

Their season will begin on December 2 at home as they take on the Lincoln West Wolverines.

Good luck, fellas!

Next up is the girls’ basketball team. The girls have faced a lot of adversity early on with only six players and a sudden head coaching departure. However, former varsity boys head coach Jerrod Karl is stepping up to lead this program. Coach Karl will be assisted by Savannah David (2022 graduate), who played for the Hurricanes and ended her career on a team that posted a 15-8 overall record.

Coach Karl, even with all of the adversity, is ready to see how his team will respond.

“My expectations for this year are to work hard and to continue to grow. With only six players, there are going to be many challenges, but the girls are going to learn many life lessons and values that extend much further than just basketball and the games played this season.”

The Lady Canes will tip off their season tomorrow night as they travel to Lutheran West to take on the Longhorns.

Good luck, girls!

In other Winter sports, the hockey team had a hard-fought loss against the Bay Rockets, 5-2. The goals for the Hurricanes were scored by seniors Philip Banaszak and Collin Flanagan. Banaszak’s goal was unassisted, while Flanagan’s goal was assisted by juniors Zander Rolon and Rocco Spiewacki.

They are back in action tonight against the Lakewood Rangers. The Hurricanes will also play on Saturday, traveling to Cleveland Heights to take on the Tigers. Puck drop for both games is at 7:30.

Led by junior Adam Cowper and sophomore Kadence Szmahlo, the varsity bowling team started positively with a 2,408 to 2,258 victory against the Benedictine Bengals. Good job, team.

Come out and support all of our Winter sports teams. Go Canes!

Top Five Thanksgiving Foods

By: BHS Features Staff

November 20, 2024

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, your mind is going to two places: The food and whoever/whatever you are thankful for. Today, we will make your mouth water by discussing the top five most popular Thanksgiving foods.

*Number 1: Roasted Turkey and Stuffing

Obviously, a roasted turkey will be on this list because it’s the staple of Thanksgiving. What is a Thanksgiving meal without a turkey? Many people add stuffing to their turkey, so we decided to rank them together because if you are having turkey on Thanksgiving, it will most likely be stuffed. To jazz it up, try making a sausage stuffing. It’s delightful!

*Number 2: Mashed Potatoes

Nothing is better than enjoying buttery mashed potatoes for this feast. You can add anything to the potatoes, which is great if you prefer to avoid the taste of the potatoes on their own. We recommend adding bacon. Who doesn’t love bacon?

*Number 3: Green Bean, Corn, and Sweet Potato Casserole

Just like turkey and stuffing, we decided to rank the popular casseroles together. Many people make these types of casseroles, and most of them include veggies, herbs, and spices, but some contain other ingredients such as corn or marshmallows. Mr. Holko’s personal favorite is the green bean casserole with cream of mushroom soup and fried onion straws.

*Number 4: Honey-Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are the best option if you want to eat something healthy. The honey glaze adds a sweeter flavor, combating the vegetable taste. Brussels sprouts are also small and can be used as a snack. Fun fact, this food item makes Mr. Holko want to vomit!

*Number 5: Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce can be found at almost any Thanksgiving table. It can be added to turkey or other meats for extra flavor or used as a sweet treat.

All families bring different types of food to their Thanksgiving feasts. More than likely, your favorite dish is going to appear on your plate, even if your favorite dish did not make this list.

Those are the top five Thanksgiving food items. Do you agree or disagree? Type in the Leave a comment section below and let us know what should be on this list.

We hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving, and we are thankful for your support of our online newspaper. Also, make sure to eat a whole lot of food and be stuffed, just like your turkey!

Preview: Hockey & Bowling

By: BHS Sports Staff

November 14, 2024

Winter sports are upon us, so it is time to preview our Hurricanes’ teams and athletes. This week, we will provide the 2024-2025 outlook for hockey and bowling.

First up is hockey.

After securing their first win in a while just a year ago and having a favorable schedule this year, Coach Mike Wrost’s squad has high expectations.

Wrost’s team consists of 10 seniors, and he hopes that they can contribute to multiple victories this year. A few of these seniors include goalie Nick Supinski, defenseman Phillip Banaszak, center Jeffrey Helmick, defenseman Blake Baker, and forward Collin Flanagan. Some other experienced players include junior defenseman Rocco Spiewacki and sophomore defenseman Kyle Morgan.

Coach Wrost believes that his squad will continue to grow and earn more victories this season.

“This year, we have a 20-game schedule. We should be competitive within the division. We also scheduled some upper-level teams to challenge us. We also want to compete for a championship at the Cleveland Heights Christmas Tournament.”

Their season begins this Saturday as they take on the Bay Rockets at the Winterhurst Ice Arena, located in Lakewood. Puck drops at 4:50.

Good luck this year, team!

The other preview for this week is bowling.

Last year was a massive success for this squad as they played well in the Chagrin Valley Conference tournament and the OHSAA sectionals. Their leader returns, junior Adam Cowper. He earned a lot of awards last season and is expected to continue his projected growth.

Coach Steven Prusak is excited that his team is already growing and is ready for more success.

“We are looking for another exciting season. This year, we have a varsity team and two junior varsity teams. Last year, we had only one JV team, so the word is getting out. Between myself and Coach Cowper working with these bowlers, I’m expecting a good year for varsity and junior varsity. There are going to be separate tournaments in which we will compete this year. I’m expecting a good season.”

The bowlers will be led by juniors Cowper, Ryan Hilcu, Jacob Barrett, and Amara Zibrin, along with sophomores Kadence Szmahlo and Eleanore Louden.

Their season will also begin this Saturday as they travel to Benedictine to take on the Bengals at 8:00 in the morning.

Go get ‘em, bowlers!

Next week, both the boys’ and girls’ basketball programs will be covered.

Have a great weekend, Brooklyn.

Go Canes!

Anniversary of Apollo 12

By: BHS Features Staff

November 13, 2024

In 1969, Apollo 12 was launched. Fast forward to the present, tomorrow (November 14) will be the 55th anniversary of that launch.

Apollo 12’s mission was to collect items from the Surveyor III spacecraft, including the camera on the Surveyor III, to see the exposure effects of the lunar environment.

Former President John F. Kennedy aimed to expand on Apollo 11’s achievements. Apollo 11 was launched on July 16, 1969. Neil Armstrong was the commander of this mission, making him the first man on the moon.

During the first minute of Apollo 12, the spacecraft was twice struck by lightning. Despite this occurrence, this was the second successful mission for landing on the moon.

NASA chose three astronauts for this landing. The crew of this legendary flight was Charles “Pete” Conrad, Jr., Alan Bean, and Richard Gordon, Jr. The mission lasted ten days and four hours. Even though Conrad, Jr. had dyslexia, he still never gave up on his dream of becoming an astronaut.

Command Module Pilot Gordon stayed in lunar orbit until Apollo 12 could land safely. He took pictures of the site, which proved crucial to ensuring safety.

Commander Conrad, Jr. and Lunar Module Pilot Bean were in charge of landing the Lunar Module. They landed the Module in the “Ocean of Storms,” around 535 feet from a robotic lander named Surveyor III. This landing demonstrated that precision landing is capable, allowing NASA to do future missions in more difficult and scientifically-valuable locations.

Once the Lunar Module landed, Conrad, Jr. shouted in excitement when he stepped on the surface. This action also captured the excitement of many people who were enthralled about the successful return to the moon.

Conrad, Jr. and Bean were reportedly on the moon for 31.6 hours, setting up experiments. Those experiments would continue to relay radio information until September of 1977. Among the information that was radioed back was a seismometer that detected thousands of moonquakes. This helped NASA determine the moon’s interior.

During the mission, the camera broadcasting the astronauts’ work on television was accidentally damaged. This left the people who were watching the event on TV to rely solely on audio.

Bean then decided to paint a series of pictures, so everyone could get a glimpse of Apollo 12. To see those pictures, visit The Alan Bean Gallery.

A common question about moon landings is why we no longer go to the moon. Apollo 17 was the last moon landing, and this occurred on December 7, 1972. The main reason moon landings stopped is because of the amount of money it takes to build the equipment. The price is absolutely out of this world! The cost is estimated to be around $257 Billion, adjusted to inflation dollars as of 2020.

Pete Conrad, Jr. once stated: “Whoopie! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but it’s a long one for me!”

Who knew a moon landing would be so astronomical?

A Packed Turkey Month

By: BHS News Staff

November 12, 2024

The time is coming for overeating, relaxation, football, and Black Friday shopping. However, that time is not here yet.

As Thanksgiving break sneaks up on us, the days will go by quickly, especially with sunset around 5:40. Therefore, keep up on assignments and avoid missing work. No one wants a stressful Thanksgiving break.

To start off, class meetings will occur at the beginning of next week, during which the students-of-the-month for October will be announced. The themes for this recognition are social relationships, leadership, and the willingness to help peers. If you are not picked for October, you may be picked for November, where the themes are compassion and respect for students and staff. Continue to be kind, and you may be chosen next.

Every Fall athlete should get their Fall banquet slips turned in as soon as possible, as they are due today! The banquet will be held next Wednesday, November 20. A turned-in slip will include dinner and more. Everyone, get your business casual attire ready for the Fall Sports Awards Banquet.

Next, the sophomore class will take a field trip to the Polaris Career Center on November 15. This is a great chance for young students to see their future opportunities.

Finally, on November 25, students who made the Honor or Merit Roll will have the opportunity to attend the first quarter PBIS Incentive Field Trip. It will be held at the Brooklyn Recreation Center, and students attending will go ice skating. Criteria include grades, attendance, and behavior. You can check if you made Honor or Merit Roll by looking at your report card, located on ProgressBook.

Here is the upcoming event calendar for November:

November 12: Return Sports Awards Slips for Fall Banquet
November 15: Sophomore Field Trip to Polaris
November 18-22: Violence Prevention Week
November 20: Fall Sports Awards Banquet
November 25: First Quarter PBIS Incentive Field Trip
November 27-December 1: Thanksgiving Break

We hope everyone has a safe and productive week. The weather forecast looks cloudy and rainy, so prepare your jackets.

Turkey day is just 16 days away!

Staff Spotlight: Miss Jurewicz

*Polaris PLTW Instructor / Engineering*

By: BHS Staff Profiles

November 8, 2024

Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Miss Ilona Jurewicz. This is currently her first year in the Brooklyn City Schools. Previously, she worked in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District as a teacher for eight years, and before that, she worked in the Animal Care field. She enjoys traveling to places that will teach her something new, growing plants, and rock climbing. Two fun facts about her is that she has climbed one of the Seven Summits (Mount Kilimanjaro), and she also bungee jumped into Victoria Falls.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: “I love that I laugh every day, sometimes at students and sometimes with students. I do not think teenagers realize how funny they are.”

Q: What are your goals for the rest of this school year?

A: “Since it is my first year, I hope I get through the year with as much grace as possible because everything is new to me.”

Q: What or who inspired you to become an engineering teacher?

A: “It was all of my awesome teachers in high school. I had some great teachers who could take what they knew I was interested in and put it into what I did in class. The teachers who helped me shape my path were the ones who inspired me the most.”

Q: What is your biggest challenge as a high school teacher?

A: “Every day that I come into school, I have to make ‘judgment’ calls. When there is an issue with a student, I am the one who has to address it. I always try to be empathetic with that student and try to be fair.”

Q: What was your favorite memory/moment as a student?

A: “My favorite memory is how my French teacher was so invested in creating a classroom culture. I joined the French club at school and became an official in it. She created this little family that would just hang out in her classroom after school. I learned a lot of French because of this. Another thing I loved is that she would take us out to dinner at the end of the year.”

Q: What is the most significant life lesson ever taught to you?

A: “This is very specific to my personality, but I was taught that life is what happens at the other side of fear. Pushing through things that scare you, trying new things that intimidate you, and learning to go for it are essential things to living life to the fullest.”

Q: If you could go back 15 years and change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

A: “I wish I would have listened more to the people who are older than me. I should have taken more advice from them instead of thinking they were just talking.”

Q: What is the best season?

A: “Definitely Summer because I hate the cold. I like to think that everything is better when it is hot. It does not matter if it is rainy or cloudy.”

Thank you for letting us interview you, Miss Jurewicz. We wish you nothing but success throughout the rest of this school year. Keep climbing summits and being adventurous!

Cavs On Fire

By: BHS Sports Staff

November 7, 2024

Since the Guardians’ season is over, and the Browns continue to be the Browns, our hometown is solely relying on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavs have had their best start in franchise history, beginning their 2024-2025 campaign with a 9-0 record, which is currently the best record in the NBA. After several unsuccessful past playoff campaigns, the Cavs fired J.B. Bickerstaff, and the front office brought in former Golden State Warriors assistant coach, Kenny Atkinson.

Last season, the Cavs had four games scoring over 130 points. So far this season under Atkinson, Cleveland already has matched last year’s total with four games over 130 points.

A defensive-minded club last year is now a full offensive and defensive unit with obvious chemistry. Below are all of the final scores to date:

Game 1: Cavs 136-106 (Raptors)
Game 2: Cavs 113-101 (Pistons)
Game 3: Cavs 135-116 (Wizards)
Game 4: Cavs 110-104 (Knicks)
Game 5: Cavs 134-110 (Lakers)
Game 6: Cavs 120-109 (Magic)
Game 7: Cavs 114-113 (Bucks)
Game 8: Cavs 116-114 (Bucks)
Game 9: Cavs 131-122 (Pelicans)

The core four of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen have been lights-out with each contributing in their way.

Mitchell currently leads the team in points per game with 23.8, and Garland is not far behind, averaging 19.8 PPG. Allen is averaging a double-double with 15.1 PPG and 11.9 rebounds per game. Last but not least, Mobley is putting up 17.3 PPG and is currently leading the team in blocks per game with almost two a night.

The bench has also made big contributions with guys like Caris LeVert, Ty Jerome, and Sam Merrill stepping up in big moments with buckets, rebounds, assists, and stellar defense.

Some upcoming games are tomorrow at 7:30 against the Warriors, Saturday at 7:30 against the Nets, next Monday at 8:00 against the Bulls, and next Wednesday at 7:30 against the 76ers.

This team looks exciting right now, and we will continue to root for them all season long. Great start in a hopeful, championship season!

To keep up with scores and stats, visit the Cleveland Cavaliers website.

Go Cavs!
