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.

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.

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.
