Clubs Galore

By: BHS News Staff

January 13, 2026

With the new year in full swing, there are numerous ways to make new friends and connections in Brooklyn. Some of the ways are through various clubs and organizations that are mainly student-led. Brooklyn has numerous clubs, and each week going forward, a different club will be under the spotlight to inform the student body of possible opportunities.

Moving along, with February coming up, Heritage Week will soon be underway. Start preparing for the heritage parade, and be ready for something new this year. There is going to be a panel run in the auditorium, and stories will be heard from many who have come to America and what life is/was like in their home countries.

Next, Student Council will be decorating the hallways once again. Be ready for all of the colors, and remember to represent your grade level. This year, each grade level gets a different continent, and if you take a picture with each continent set up and show Mrs. Bader, you will receive a prize. Stay tuned for more information.

Did someone say Prom? With the new year here, preliminary talks about prom are already beginning. The confirmed prom date is May 22 at Windows On The River. Interested in helping plan it? Mrs. Holko is hosting a prom committee meeting on Wednesday, January 21, at 3:05 in room 271. Also, make sure to check the senior and junior Google Classrooms for the Malley’s chocolate fundraiser coming up to help earn a discounted ticket.

Lastly, all W.I.N. blocks are starting independent reading. Make sure to have your books ready, and do not forget your bookmarks. Each Tuesday will have a teacher’s favorite book. Today is Mrs. Bader’s, whose favorite book is Sunrise on the Reaping.

Here is the upcoming schedule for January

Strong Second Half Leads to Victory

By: BHS Sports Staff

January 8, 2026

Last Saturday, the Hurricanes opened up their newly-renovated gymnasium with a boys and girls basketball doubleheader against the Cuyahoga Heights Red Wolves.

Both teams knew that they were up for a challenge as the boys and girls teams for Cuyahoga Heights posted records above .500. It was sure to be a great night in Brooklyn.

The girls team started off hot with freshman Zoe Schultz hitting the first shot, a 3-pointer in the re-opening of the gymnasium. There was excellent defense in the first half by both teams, but the Red Wolves clinging to a three-point lead at the half, 12-9.

The Canes kept up a similar offense in the second half, but the Red Wolves eventually caught fire as they defeated the Lady Canes, 39-16.

Even though the girls have struggled this year, keep in mind that roughly 80 percent of the team is comprised of freshmen. The future outlook is positive, and they need the support from Hurricane Nation.

As for the boys game, the Red Wolves jumped out to an early 11-6 lead after three straight triples from long range. The Hurricanes closed the quarter on a 6-2 run to trail by one after the first eight minutes, 13-12.

The second quarter was more back-and-forth, but the Red Wolves had a seven-point lead that was trimmed to four after a late three-pointer by junior Jose Mateo to close out the first half with the score being 27-23 in favor of the visitors.

The Hurricanes caught fire in the second half, grabbing the lead and solidifying it by taking a seven-point advantage into the fourth quarter. They proceeded to go on a 12-0 run, stemming back from the third quarter, to take a 46-33 lead, their widest margin of the game.

Coach Shepherd’s team would then close out the game, playing dominant on both sides of the floor to earn the victory in their first home game of the season.

Final Score: Brooklyn 58, Cuyahoga Heights 37.

Senior Devin Hardwick led the team with 20 points, junior Braelyn Gardner added 14 points, and freshman Shaddai Givens added 13 points.

Coach Shepherd saw some excellent strengths in this game that led to the conference rivalry win.

“Our younger players Givens and fellow freshman Tyler Hardwick played really well, and I think our youth and depth was our strength. Plus, we played better defense in the second half, holding them to 10 points and getting the win,” stated Shepherd.

We would also like to give a special shout-out to the Brooklyn Community for making this grand re-opening possible.

Congratulations, Hurricane Nation! Your commitment and dedication to the Blue and Gold made this evening a memorable one.

January 8: Hockey vs. Cleveland Heights (7:30)

When Culture Meets Fashion

By: BHS Features Staff

January 7, 2026

Many cultures have differing and unique traditions, fashions, foods, etc. It can feel overwhelming for some to try learning about other cultures, but visiting the Kent State University Museum is a great opportunity to learn more about North-African culture and its many contributions.

KSU’s exhibition will be one of the first universities to display North-African culture, specifically among contemporary fashion designers in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt.

The theme of this exhibition is “Disruptors, Threads, and Our Land”. These themes help bring designers from different backgrounds together to discuss how to preserve the cultural aspects of North-African fashion.

With the rise of the streetwear style, the theme of “Disruptors” becomes prevalent. This theme illustrates how designers can preserve their culture while breaking free from traditional constraints.

When it comes to the designers themselves, they focused more on utilizing local materials through repurposing and upcycling. The theme “Threads” incorporated the raw materials used, tedious techniques, and the region in which they developed. It also helps the designers connect to techniques passed down from generation-to-generation.

Finally with regions, the last theme is “Our Land”. This section is important because it helps connect the fashion designers on a personal level. This theme can help express and grasp inspiration from the landscape, art, architecture, and culture to specific North-African regions.

No matter what your background may be, everyone is unique and special. Working together to learn more about people’s backgrounds is crucial in bringing us all together. Simply, fashion has a way of doing this.

We highly encourage you to visit the Kent State University Museum to witness the fashion of North-African culture. This unique exhibit will be available until May 10, but why wait?

New Year, Fresh Start

By: BHS News Staff

January 6, 2026

Happy New Year, fellow Hurricanes! With 2025 in the books, it is time to welcome in 2026 with the hopes of a new year full of opportunities, memories, health, and success stories.

Speaking of health, as the current trend of seasonal sickness spreads like wildfire, make sure to stay safe by practicing good hand-washing skills. Additionally, use hand sanitizer whenever possible, as there should be a bottle available in every classroom. Finally, avoid sharing drinks or food with someone, especially if they are not feeling well. Good grades are reliant on good attendance, so take care of yourself and be in school.

Next, be sure to listen to the morning announcements for upcoming class meetings/dates/times with Mr. Larson and Mrs. McGhee. Class meetings outline important information and are sometimes held to show appreciation for those who have achieved great attendance. So, be sure to take advantage of the third quarter (46 days ending on March 12) and use it to your full advantage because eligibility can make-or-break participation in Spring sports and for the school musical, The Addams Family.

Regarding the Spring musical, the cast, pit, and crew members have all been rehearsing and building the sets/props. Soon enough, the curtain will be pulled to watch this performance unfold.

Even though there was not a lot of news for this week, rest assured that there will be much more going forward for this month and beyond. Be sure to subscribe to The Return of the Eye for current updates and information.

Here is the upcoming schedule for January (more to come).

January 19: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (No School)

Have a great, healthy, and productive first week back, Hurricanes.

The Traditions of Christmas

By: The Return of the Eye Staff

December 17, 2025

It is hard to fathom that Christmas is basically one week away. For some, this spiritual holiday brings sadness and grief, but for most, it brings joy, happiness, excitement, and celebratory traditions with family and friends.

Whether it is decorating the tree, opening meaningful presents, baking cookies, or celebrating this Christian holiday, every family has their own Christmas traditions. As famous musician Andy Williams once said, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”

The Christmas spirit provides joy and love, and watching classic Christmas movies is a staple for most households.

For the final article of 2025, each journalist shared their Christmas traditions and their favorite Christmas movie. Take a look at what follows below to compare your traditions with ours.

AMIR

Tradition: Every year, my grandma comes and visits from Florida to watch us open presents and to come sledding with us. She always makes a wonderful Christmas breakfast that varies from eggs, pancakes, bacon, etc.
Movie: Elf is my favorite movie because my mom and I love the jokes in it.

DEVIN

Tradition: My family and I sleep in and wake up to my mom making a delicious breakfast.
Movie: Home Alone is my favorite because of the family comedy and thrill.

JEREMIAH

Tradition: Every year on Christmas, my family does Secret Santa, mainly just the adults. But, they do it because most adults really don’t get presents, so with the Secret Santa, we get a random gift from someone in the family.
Movie: My favorite Christmas movie has to be The Gremlins. This movie is one of my childhood movies and has always been my favorite ever since I was seven-years-old.

ANKITA

Tradition: During the week of Christmas every year, my family goes downtown to see the decorations and lights. We take pictures to capture the memory of our family being together during the holiday.
Movie: My favorite Christmas movie is The Polar Express. It brings back a lot of memories from my childhood when I was still in elementary school.

BEN

Tradition: Nearly every year, I go sledding with my family or friends. This year, I went with my friends, and let’s just say that my jeans were soaked by the afternoon.
Movie: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is put on every year and is always a good laugh.

RAYNA

Tradition: I love to bake Christmas cookies with my mom. We spend the entire afternoon baking cookies, chatting with each other, and discussing the gifts we are giving to others.
Movie: The Nightmare Before Christmas. I do not like Christmas movies much, but this is something my mom and I always watch together.

JUSTIN

Tradition: My favorite Christmas tradition is opening gifts with my family. On Christmas Eve, my household goes to my uncle’s house, where we exchange gifts. Once Christmas Eve is over, Christmas morning is when all the gifts under my tree get opened.
Movie: My favorite Christmas movie is, without a doubt, Home Alone. I do not care how original it is; every year, I enjoy sitting on my couch watching Home Alone on repeat.

NICOLLE

Tradition: My favorite Christmas tradition is cooking with my family. The morning of Christmas Eve, my family and I get together to cook some food for dinner later that day. It is a very important tradition for me since it brings my family together, and it allows me to catch up with family members whom I have not seen in a while.
Movie: My favorite Christmas movie is The Grinch. Although my family does not watch movies together very often, it is a movie I enjoy watching, no matter what.

SUMMER

Tradition: On December 23, my two cousins and I go to their Aunt Amy’s house. We get to pick out what we want for dinner. Then, we watch a movie. We go to bed, and then on Christmas Eve, we receive all of our gifts, open them, and then we cook breakfast. This breakfast usually consists of sunnyside-up eggs, toast or bagels, bacon, sausage, and usually something sweet. Later in the day, my aunt and uncle come over, and we have dinner together. Then, we go back home with all our gifts. On Christmas, we usually have breakfast as a family and then open our gifts from our other family. We then bake and start dinner that night. This three-day tradition has been the same for roughly 15 straight years.
Movie: My favorite Christmas movie of all time will always be A Christmas Story. Ralphie will always be my favorite character.

JACOB

Tradition: My family’s traditions aren’t usually big. We just usually have a little get-together and watch either basketball or football, eat delicious food, and hang out.
Movie: I would definitely say National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is my favorite because it’s a classic and very hilarious.

What are your favorite family Christmas traditions and go-to Christmas movies? Please share them in the Leave a comment section below.

Whether it’s Home Alone, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Elf, A Christmas Story, The Polar Express, or The Grinch, there is always something classic to enjoy with all your friends and family. Keep these traditions alive.

Hardwick Makes History

By: BHS Sports Staff

December 11, 2025

After a slow start to the season, the boys basketball team is on fire and is playing really good basketball.

Last Friday, the Hurricanes (1-2) travelled to Cloverleaf to take on the 1-0 Colts. The Hurricanes were coming off their first victory of the season when they defeated Chagrin Falls, 62-59, last Wednesday. It was now time for two straight victories.

Brooklyn came out strong in the first quarter, scoring the first five points of the contest while playing excellent defense for a 16-8 lead after one.

The Hurricanes continued playing well in the second quarter, as they outrebounded the Colts and forced numerous turnovers that led to easy transition baskets.

At the break, the Hurricanes held a 14-point lead over Cloverleaf, 36-22.

The Hurricanes opened the third quarter on a 21-5 run, giving them the largest lead of the game at 57-27 and leaving no doubt on their pending victory. The Colts began to claw their way back, making things a little more interesting, but Brooklyn still held a 26-point lead with eight minutes to go.

In the final quarter, senior Devin Hardwick made history as he scored his 1000th point. The team then cruised through the final minutes to secure their second win of the season, building momentum as Conference play looms.

Final Score: Brooklyn 81, Cloverleaf 59.

Hardwick led the way in scoring with 26 points, and junior Braelyn Gardner tallied 21 points. Freshman Shaddai Givens added 15 points, while junior Jose Matteo chipped in with 13 points.

This victory served as well-deserved revenge as the Hurricanes fell 71-65 the last time these two teams met.

Congrats to Devin and the rest of the Hurricanes’ basketball team.

Looking ahead, the boys will travel to Beachwood this Saturday to take on the Bison. Varsity tip-off will be at 12:15.

Additionally, we are less than a month away from the much-anticipated home opener on January 3 against Cuyahoga Heights in the newly-renovated gymnasium.

Below is the upcoming schedule for Brooklyn Hurricanes Athletics.

December 11: Hockey vs. North Olmsted (7:30)
December 12: Girls Basketball @ Cuyahoga Heights (6:45)
December 13: Bowling vs. Padua (8:00)
December 13: Boys Basketball @ Beachwood (12:15)
December 15: Girls Basketball @ Christian Community (6:30)
December 16: Girls Basketball vs. Fairview (7:15)

Go Canes!

Skating in the 216

By: BHS Features Staff

December 10, 2025

Thanksgiving smoothly passed by, and now, it is time for sled riding, snowball fights, and ice skating.

The cold weather keeps many inside, but ice skating with family and friends, while enjoying the snow and magical lights, is something Clevelanders love to do. Simply, go downtown and show off your ice skating skills.

This month, Cleveland’s ice skating rink is open to the public, and it is located at Public Square. The rink opened on November 28 and will stay open through February 1. During this colorful experience, there will also be warm and tasty food/drinks in addition to a light show and a live band.

Public Square’s ice skating rink offers a festive and seasonal downtown experience with affordable skating and an oval rink that’s ADA accessible, allowing up to 150 skaters in the rink at one time.

For ticket purchases, guests can only buy them in person. There will also be no cash sales; only Credit/Debit/Apple Pay will be accepted. For an individual, a ticket costs $15, which includes the skate rental. There is also a 10-pack ticket package for $130. This will also include the skate rental.

Ice skating is one of the best Winter activities, but it comes with a lot of thrill and, unfortunately, danger. So, be cautious of bad skaters to avoid injury before Santa Claus comes to town.

Cleveland is a beautiful city, especially during Christmastime. Take some time to bask in the cool air and colorful sights by enjoying an evening on the rink.

If you do explore this beautiful skating rink, be safe and watch out for Mr. Holko. He loves ice skating, but he stinks at it. He can go fast in a straight line but cannot stop. Do not be one of his victims!

Staff Spotlight: Miss Klesta

*7th Grade ELA Teacher*

By: BHS Staff Profiles

December 5, 2025

Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Miss Alexa Klesta. This is currently Miss Klesta’s first year in the Brooklyn City School District, but she has been teaching for a total of four years. Before coming to Brooklyn, she taught ELA and Social Studies for grades 6-8 in the Cleveland Schools, specifically at William Rainey Harper. Some things Miss Klesta likes to do in her free time are hanging out with her dog Athena, reading, and watching TV. A fun fact about her is that this is the first year she does not have a sibling in the grade she is teaching. She has a sister who is 10-years younger and a brother who is 14-years younger.

Q: If you could have any school pet for your classroom, what would it be?

A: “A koala bear because they are very cuddly and cute or a manatee because they are very lazy.”

Q: Why did you choose to become an ELA teacher?

A: “Originally, I did not want to go into education at all, which is funny because my older sister is a teacher. I did not want to follow in her footsteps as I had already done that for a long time. It was not until my junior English class when we had a project that required us to teach a 75-minute lesson on old literature that everything shifted. My teacher at the time was not much of a people-person and never shared anything about himself. But after this project, he pulled me aside and told me that I would make a great teacher someday. That moment completely changed my perspective. I was in eleventh grade with no idea of what I wanted to do, and he helped me see what I truly wanted. What he said meant a lot to me.”

Q: How would you describe your first group of students?

A: “My first group of students was an interesting bunch. They actually graduated last year, and I went to a few of their graduations in Toledo. They were challenging, but watching their progress and growth and seeing who they grew up to be was amazing. They definitely gave me a run for my money in my first year. This year’s group is fun, diverse, and wonderful. They remind me a lot of myself in school, sometimes not pushing myself enough but always persevering.”

Q: What do you think this school’s greatest strengths are?

A: “The input and feedback I receive as a teacher, the coziness of the environment, and how welcoming everyone is. I also absolutely love my seventh-grade team.”

Q: If you were famous, what would you be famous for?

A: “I always wanted to be an actress because I am a little dramatic. During the first weeks of school, I tell students I am like Tinker Bell; I need attention to live. Acting was my childhood dream.”

Q: If you were a fruit, what would you be?

A: “A pineapple. On the outside, I can be intimidating because I am tall and a little prickly. But once you get to know me, I am as sweet as can be.”

Q: If your life had a theme song, what song would you pick?

A: “The Friends theme song, ‘I’ll Be There for You’. Friends is my favorite show. My favorite color purple is even the color of the door in the show. My friends mean a lot to me. I want to be a good friend, colleague, and family member.”

Q: Would you rather have a white Christmas or a warm Christmas?

A: “Warm Christmas. I am terrified of snow, and I hate driving in it.”

Thank you for your time, Miss Klesta. We are grateful to have you in the Brooklyn City Schools, and we look forward to seeing the many ways you will continue to inspire your students for years to come. Merry Christmas!
