Our Town: A Review

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending Carlynton's Fall Play “Our Town. ” The play followed events taking place in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, mainly focusing on the lives of the Webb and Gibbs families. The first act, titled “Daily Life,” opened with Stage Manager, Camryn Kwiatkoski, walking from the audience and up onto the stage to open the show. She gave insight into the daily lives of people in the town, calling characters such as Mr. Webb (Zachary Holderbaum ) and Professor Willard ( Zavier Helbig) to give accounts on the population, history, and typical events in Grover’s Corner.

Homecoming Dance

Homecoming is something many people look forward to during their high school years. For the Sophomores, it's one of the first traditional dances they’re invited to.

Initially scheduled for Friday's pep rally, the heavily anticipated announcements of King and Queen were postponed until the Homecoming football game at the last minute. Mr. Loughren teased students on stage with an envelope holding the King and Queen winners, building suspense before announcing...

Elective Highlight: Peer-to-Peer Creative Expression

Last semester, I took Peer-to-Peer Creative Expression. It was an art class with Mrs. Vayanos , where older students worked with peers from the Mr. Zebrasky ’s special education class to express themselves creatively and build artistic skills. The class pulled a variety of mediums for the projects, and weeks were “themed.” For instance, one week was themed with leaves, and for a project we went outside and collected leaves for leaf rubbings. We also cut large leaves out of watercolor paper and used watercolors to paint them. Occasionally, the class would set up scavenger hunts around the school, so that week we went around and collected paper leaves. At the end, we went downstairs to Mr. Z’s showcase and pinned the leaves to a paper tree. As 3-dimensional projects were popular, we also borrowed projects from different classes. We spent a few weeks using clay to make the themed mugs from the Creativity and Innovation curriculum, which sparked a...
