Who’s excited for all the games, pep rallies, tailgates, and other events? This year there are many exciting events for students, staff, and family to attend. During the school hours we all say “2:40 where are you at?”. In the meantime, enjoy time with peers and new teachers. Are you ready for extracurriculars to start back up again? Some may think no but some think oh yea! This year is going to be a new start for some, a beginning to an end, and just moving in the right direction for most. For all students let's make this the best school year we ever had. This school year is going to be an amazing year with all the exciting things on the horizon. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ By Noah Compher Halloween! ​ ​ ​ ​ Halloween is used​ ​​ as a celebration that is observed in a number of countries on the 31st of October. It used to be the scary holiday for children to go trick-or-treating in the night where they dress up in Halloween costumes, go from house to house, and ask for tasty treats such as candy or goodies. Halloween has been throughout the history since back to ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts who had lived long ago in 2,000 years celebrated their new year in the area that is now the countries of Europe which is Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France. Halloween has been fun, but yet scary since haunted attractions were designed to freak out the patrons. Most attractions which included haunted houses, corn mazes and hayrides. We will all know how scary our holiday will look like and not to get too spooked by anything that comes our way! By Jacob Graham and Trey Cline TSA ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The​ ​​ TSA or the Technology Student Association is one of the many clubs in our school. They recently had their elections for student leadership roles. There is a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, reporter, and sergeant at arms. We had the chance to take their thought and feelings about the club and their positions. First we have Debbie Sturgis, the new president of TSA. Debbie is glad that she was elected, and she promises the members that she will not let them down or slack off from the job. Next is Joshua Prematta, the new vice president. Josh is looking forward to helping in any way he can and is looking forward to competitions and their future. Third is Maria Hadden, the new secretary. She hopes that TSA will continue to grow and people will realize how much fun it is. Fourth is Trey Cline, the new treasurer. He hopes that the thought of robotics club will go away as TSA is rising and becoming more well known. Fifth is Nathaniel Pettit the new reporter. He said, “my hope for the future is to further our influence throughout the school, county, and hopefully the state.” Last but not least is Alex Irwin the new sergeant at arms. He says that this club has leadership of great magnitude. I wish them good luck for their future, and I hope that they will continue to grow and do well at their competitions. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ By Alyssa Gentry Chorus ​ ​ ​ ​ The chorus​ ​​ group is getting ready for a great year! The chorus is practicing their new song and they already have there concert dates and are ready to perform for you. The choir is really fun! They practice songs and it is really easy. If you are someone who loves to sing, you should join the choir and have a great time! Chorus is for everyone, so feel free to join. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ If you are in chorus, you should check out the All County Chorus.

  • Sermon for Homecoming 2020 Exodus 14:19-31 Rev. Shannon a White Wilton Presbyterian Church September 13, 2020 Have You Ever Been
    Sermon for Homecoming 2020 Exodus 14:19-31 Rev. Shannon A White Wilton Presbyterian Church September 13, 2020 Have you ever been lost? It’s a disorienting feeling, isn’t it? I remember two instances… the first, I was with my family when my daughter was young. We were walking on a path in a state park in CT where had been were camping for the weekend. I was in front, and I realized at some point we must have turned the wrong way somewhere along the trailway. As I noticed the sun beginning to go down a bit, I was frantic that we wouldn’t find the right trail to get us back to our camp site before it was dark. The other time I remember pricked much more at my sense of pride. I was, once again hiking, although this was a 10-day trek in the High Sierras in California. It was part of a course pre-seminary with 15 other seminarians and 2 guides designed for inner personal and spiritual growth and community building. Each of the students was given a day to lead the group – only utilizing the help of a typographical map. I had only some experience using this type of map and was very unsure of my abilities to get us from point A to point B in the allotted time. In addition, each of us were carrying 50-pound packs on our backs… so the weight of making a wrong decision and taking us up a steep ridge, only to find that we had gone the wrong way, literally had major implications for the group.

  • Homecoming Sermon Throughout the 18 Chapter of the Gospel According
    Homecoming Sermon Throughout the 18th chapter of the gospel according to Matthew and in the five verses we heard today, in particular, Jesus reminds us of the essential nature of Christian community. For us, the timing could not be better. This morning we greet each other in the crisp fall air – to give thanks and to ask God’s blessing in the days ahead, to offer ourselves again to each other and to new ministries, and to share in a meal together after worship. This is a morning for coming home. For quieting the restlessness and doubt that creep in while we are away from each other and for honoring the ways we help each other recognize and remember that God is among us. When we are faced with turmoil of any kind, and at times – like this – when there is so much violence and violent rhetoric in the public square, on top of natural disasters, on top of personal struggles and separations and disappointments – that promise might be the only thing we can say with certainty. But, it is a certainty. Every time two or more of us are together in Christ’s name, Christ is there. All through the pages of Scripture, there is this great theme of longing for salvation, of longing for our home in God, the recovery of something which has been lost: a nostalgia for a lost love, or a lost paradise. This sense of loss, of alienation, is wonderfully and classically expressed in the poetry of the first chapters of the Book of Genesis.
