In celebration of teacher appreciation week, NC hosted a cookout for all teachers and administration. Teachers gather around in the courtyard to enjoy freshly cooked hamburgers, veggie burgers, and hotdogs made by Assistant Principal Kiel Southwell. “Teaching is a challenging job, [the cookout] is a good opportunity to mix with peers, to get outside, and to get some great food served by Chef Southwell,” Magnet Coordinator and AP human geography teacher James Auld said.

Today, small plastic babies hang on the walls and perch on top of bookshelves as part of a prank that seniors began. “Someone purchased 500 babies on Amazon and they decided to wake up early this morning and hide them in the school. When people find them, they name them, and rehide them at the end of the day. I left class to find babies because I’m really competitive, and I have six right now,” senior Nina Shack said. The students hide the mini babies in random places around the school as they participate in this novelty game.

Coming back from the weekend, students arrived in the computer lab early in the morning, prepared to take their English EOC. All English EOCs take place during either first, third or fourth period, and students receive up to 90 minutes of time to complete their test. The end of course tests measure the student’s knowledge of everything they learned during the semester and usually accounts for a major portion of their grade.

Day three of senior week called for a “black out” theme, and students decked out head to toe in black attire. Also today, for the first time ever, TC put on a senior-only movie night and will offer a double feature of High School Musical 3 and An Extremely Goofy Movie in the Arena from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.. “I mostly wear black to begin with, so today is a perfect day for me,” Magnet senior Ayesha Cheema said.

Shrek’s hut, used for the NC Theatre Department’s upcoming performance of Shrek The Musical, lays in the back of the stage. As the main set for the play, the majority of the student performers will play out their roles around this locale. First performed in 2008, seven years after the animated movie released, Shrek The Musical retells the events of the film (and the 1990 book it adapts), but with additional backstory for Shrek and Fiona. The NC production will essentially serve as a retelling of the original, with no notable difference.

They pump us up and encourage us to do our best,” sophomore Molly Geraci said. The NC girls lacrosse team will celebrate each senior during their ceremony before their game tonight.

Yesterday, the world lost an important piece of the past to a fire that engulfed the Notre Dame in France, taking with it centuries of history. “I was so sad that my own son won’t be able to go and see it in the exact way that I was able to experience it. There’s just so much history in terms of architecture that has been lost. It’s just devastating to think about the fact that none of that can ever be reproduced exactly as it was,” AP Seminar teacher Mrs. Essenburg said. Tourists flooded social media to share their experiences with the infamous cathedral.
