Activities Night to be held in fieldhouse

Charlie Kephart, Editor in Chief • November 1, 2024 • 224 Views

Student Activities Night will be held on Nov. 4 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.. Tickets will be $1 each. The ticket includes all activities including basketball, volleyball, swimming and ping pong. 

“Students should come to Activities Night because it provides an opportunity for them to play activities with their friends for two and a half hours after school, and the dodgeball tournament allows students to donate to the Humane Society,” gym teacher Thomas Palfey said.

The only exclusion will be the dodgeball tournament. Each six person team will pay a fee of $60.

Hey! During my third year on staff, my senior year, I have taken on the role of being Editor in Chief for Mountain Echo. My sophomore and junior year, I served as associate editor. Outside of school I enjoy hanging out with my best friend, exercising, watching Netflix, photography and working as a lifeguard and teaching swim lessons at the YMCA. After high school I plan to pursue a medical path, with the intent of being a nurse practitioner. I'm looking forward to this school year and seeing what it brings our way!

I signed up for Intro to Pub not knowing what it was and it was the best decision I made. I've loved photography and writing for as long as I can remember. This will be my first year on Mountain Echo and Horseshoe Yearbook. Outside of classes, I partake in drama club and Black Student Union. When I'm not here in the school, I'm drawing or reading.
