Staff Spotlight:
Within the past year at Lowell High School, the Spanish department has gotten changed and been altered quite a bit. Despite these changes, one teacher has continuously held a huge role. Mrs. Solano has been teaching at LHS for 8 years and has become a very favorable teacher while doing so. This year she teaches six classes and four levels of Spanish: Spanish I, Spanish II Honors, Spanish III Honors, and AP Spanish Language and Culture.
She wasn’t always a fan of Spanish, and at first, she didn’t even enjoy it. “I knew I was good at it, but I just didn't like it. It wasn't until my third year of taking the language and I had the opportunity to study abroad in León, Spain the summer after my junior that I fell in love with the language and the culture. It was then that I knew I wanted to teach Spanish. I wanted to see other people have a passion for the language that I have fallen in love with.”

Some highlights of the regular season: “Harvey Ellsworth won the league scoring title,” recalled Verbeski. “And you’ve got to give credit where credit is due, Blair Joseph was named MVP of the league. Xavier goaltender Greg MacSween from New Waterford was voted outstanding goaltender. He kept his team in many, many
For the past six years, I have had the privilege of sharing my first language, Spanish, and Spanish culture as a teacher at a small private elementary school in a small rural town where diversity is almost non-existent. It has been a pleasure to open up a window to the outside world in the classrooms of this school where the students and I get to explore Spanish culture and language without having to leave town. My experience sharing my culture as well as my bilingual skills, however, extends beyond the elementary school classroom. Prior to teaching Spanish at the elementary school level, I worked as a Spanish-English translator and interpreter at various companies, and I also taught Spanish to adults.
nPittsburg State is 2-1 on the season. The Gorillas have won two straight games, including a 68-21 road victory over Northeastern State last Saturday.
On Monday, September 19 the Missouri Valley College women’s volleyball team played at home against William Penn University.

However, in the end, the Vikings were victorious in all three games with the following scores: 25-17, 25-17, 25-15.
Being girls of the ages fourteen to eighteen we did not know how to react. We have never in our life went to school and heard all these headlines about how the program we worked so hard to build is not going to make it in our county. Knowing we had no support from anyone besides our coaches and families led us to constantly being down. We were continuously mocked of from higher ranked teams, even if we won a game. All that proceeded in our heads were that how can people think so small of a group of teenage girls. No one wanted to be last in our division anymore, but we didn't have faith in ourselves as a result of no one having confidence in us.
If memory serves me correctly, the first time I ventured to Pikeville was 1998 and the Phelps would have a nice season going 7-3 on the season. East Ridge was not even around back then. The 2017 Phelps team might be able to achieve those types numbers and with a up and coming head coach in David Jones, a former Belfry great the sky could be the limit.

"This was a great season opener for our Ladies. I'm really proud of the effort everyone gave today," said head coach Kyle Joplin. "We're only a few weeks into training and this was a very challenging race. I can't wait for the next competition!"
The mindset that society thrusts upon most high school athletes can take away from academics and other opportunities they may have for their future. For many high school football athletes, they are primarily focused on one thing throughout their high school years: sports. Evidence 1: In towns such as Odessa in Friday Night Lights, players are swallowed up by the glamour of football and neglect most things not related to football, rather than balance sports with academics. “It was a phenomenon that Trapper had seen dozens of times before, a kid so caught up in it all that there was no room for anything else, another kid for whom nothing in life would ever be so glorious, so fulfilling as playing high school football. Trapper didn’t see the
The bang of the head, the crack of the bone, the tear of a muscle, are all things that high school athletes put themselves at risks for. Every time a high school athlete steps foot on a field, rink, or court they put themself in a risky situation. Although the risk may be there, athletes achieve many valuable lessons throughout high school sports. The valuable lessons promote self-confidence, socialization and team spirit, as well as decreases stress. While playing sports, athletes are at excessive risks of being injured. Although high school athletes have a risk of being injured, the benefits of high school sports programs outweighs the physical risk because of its benefits to teenagers mental health, benefits to teenagers physical health,
In high school many kids often choose not to participate in extra curricular activities saying that there pointless or that only a certain type of person would do something like play football, or join the chess club. While this type of thinking may get some people through school and through life, can it really be looked at as being a healthy lifestyle? Today sports have proven to be a healthy outlet for students, in dealing with stress in the classroom at home and among their peers.
The world of sports has grown larger than life over the past century, especially in college. Being a collegiate athlete is, without question, the hardest athletic profession in the world. Not only are students devoted to their sport, which requires an obscene amount of time of preparation, but they are also devoted to their school work. And the award they receive for their hard work? Of course there are the great memories, friendships made, “free education”, or national championships, but are theses students receiving their fair share? Should college athletes be paid? It is a question that has been asked, but never truly answered. College athletes should be paid for their work. I even have the perfect system to see
