Theatre sophomores Cooper Musser and Aaron Idlis grin with mouths full of whipped cream, realizing that they just brought home more points for the sophomore class. “My favorite part [of Fall Festival] was definitely the pie eating contest because it was the most fun out of all of them, and the most engaging, and I ate a lot of whipped cream so that was cool,” Musser said. “It was definitely pretty tricky though, because I couldn’t see anything and I was kind of just scavenging around.”

Working as hard as she can during her planning period, social studies teacher Afton May gets as much done as she can in-school. Because of her two part time jobs, May was not usually able to do grading and preparing for class after school. “[Working] from about 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. every day of the week is pretty hard,” May said. “I have cut back on what I take home, when it comes to teaching. I try to be as efficient as I can at work.
