In Mrs. Ellis’ office, a small glass jar full of an unknown amount of Skittles lies. It serves as a raffle for the Warriors for the Kids (WFTK) sub-committee in Tribal Connections. Students simply pay a small fee of $1 to guess the number of Skittles in the jar. Should they guess correctly, they will win the following items: Chick-Fil-A merchandise, gift cards, and a complimentary basket.

How many skittles in the jar?

Through the end of this week, students will take the Cobb mandated Health Survey during their first block class. Students will follow the advisement schedule to ensure that every individual has enough time to thoroughly complete the survey. Students take this survey anonymously, with the overall purpose to gather data and make sure that students feel safe both inside and outside of school.

Answer honestly, it’s anonymous

Along with the competitiveness of tonight’s game, Relay For Life set the theme as “Pink Out” and will collect donations to fight against cancer. “I am excited to see how the game turns out since Kennesaw Mountain is such a huge rival to NC.

Baseball tryouts start this week, and the players prepare for the start of the long-awaited season. Winning “the plaque” for this season (awarded after the team reaches the first round of playoffs), rests on the players’ mind, especially because they received their last plaque ten years ago. “My goal is to have a successful season with our fearless leader, Coach Callahan,” junior Cole Wright said.

Hey batter, batter!

Today in Ms. Alexandra Yeganegi’s junior Magnet American Literature class, students read a banned book throughout the semester and made a project based off their book. Students dressed up as either the author or the character from the book and they made a capsule that represents their book. “I made this poster because in my book, 1984, it talks about ‘big brother,’ which is also known as the Government, and this plays a big aspect in the book,” junior Isabel Daez said.

Students wrap up their semester in anatomy with one of their last labs today December 17. The lab focused on the aspects of sheep brains and asks of students to compare the parts to their own brains. The lab demonstrates to students the parts of the brain and offers them a hands on experience to further enhance their learning in the class. “I look forward to seeing the inside of the [sheep] brains and seeing what it looks like so I can compare what happens inside our [people] brains. Its going to help me apply what we learned in class to real life and how they relate to each other. I also learn more about my own brain as well.” Junior Natasya Hioe said.

Confusion and excitement sent Mrs. Lawson’s Honors American Lit class abuzz as she gave students a project to complete—except with a twist—no clear instructions, an abstract objective, and complete silence when students asked her confused questions. Students received a manila folder of supplies to construct the purpose of the project. “We picked up a manila folder with a coat hanger, string, a stick, an index card, black construction paper, and a notecard. All we know is that we have to relate the project back to the unit: Individuals Taking a Stand,” junior Aiden Minard said. Though abstract in concept, the project pushed students past their creative boundaries. “This project delves into our creativity by making us think more creatively and to better understand the theme of this unit,” junior Patrick Moran said.

Resulting from community concern over “dangerous driving conditions,” Cobb County implemented a two hour delay for all schools in district. The county earned a reputation among students and parents alike for improperly judging conditions, spurred on by their choice to keep kids in school for the 2014 Snowpocalypse; the choice to delay did grant them some good graces, in spite of minor disappointment. “I thought it was probably a responsible decision on Cobb County’s part. I can’t lie, I was hoping for a cancellation tweet, but you know, I’ll take what I can get. I definitely used the extra sleep to refresh. I felt secure in coming to school because I have to drive a long way, so I thought it was a good decision: they did what they had to do,” junior Maggie Glancy said.

Two Warrior alumni visited psychology classes today to talk about the field of school psychology. The two psychologists, Kelli Jones and Ashley Jackson, used to be students in AP Psychology teacher Ms. Shelnutt’s class in 1988 and 2007. After taking the course, they felt empowered to carry on a career in psychology. “I couldn’t be more proud to have my former kids here. To think that I’ve planted a seed that has blossomed into successful careers for them is quite fulfilling. It makes me very happy and proud to be a Warrior,” Shelnutt said.
