Tran said the wins against Smithson Valley and Alamo Heights gave the team a morale boost to take on the Raiders tonight. “I know we were not 100% confident in those games,” Tran said. “But, Rouse is a big opponent for sure. We’re definitely going into tonight with a lot of morale [because of the previous wins].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/frances-tran.jpg)

Terry said his proudest moments are when his students are happy to see him. “When I take my wife to a football game or something and a bunch of students want to say hi to me or they like to smile and wave and it just makes me feel good that the students are really kind and supportive of me,” Terry said. “[I’m also] proud when I see students perform really well in their extracurriculars because I can see how hard they’re working in my classes, [so] when I see that they’re also working so hard in other things. Like they’re winning band competitions or they’re getting awards for their theater productions, or I see them put on their choir shows, that’s like, wow, you guys are incredible.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rags-6.png)

The new trend that’s become popular all over the nation, including our very own Cedar Park is the Harlem Shake. Harlem Shake stormed to number one on the US billboard chart and on YouTube. From kids just hanging out to even adults at work, people all over the U.S. are making their own version including “Sea World San Antonio: Harlem Shake,” and, “UGA Men’s Swim & Dive Harlem Shake.” Students from Cedar Park have created some of their own versions as well including woodshop, Spanish and even broadcast.
“Having taking part in the Harlem Shake recently, I see it as one of the more creative trends that have gone viral the past several years,” junior Logan Bearden said.
Bearden took part in broadcast’s version of this trend, as well as freshman Kaitlyn Kuerth who took part in one involving the freshman cheer squad.
“I think the Harlem Shake is a way for a group of people to become closer through irregular, exotic randomness and just simply puts everyone in a good mood,” Kuerth said.
Agreeing with both Bearden and Kuerth, Sophomore Peyton Blanchard had some positive things to say about the Harlem shake.
“I think it’s a creative and hilarious dance,” Blanchard said.
The Harlem Shake is trending fast and will be over just as fast, so don’t miss out on the fun. Also, don’t forget to make it out to the courtyard on Fri. March 1 and participate in Cedar Park’s very own version. Be there at 4:00 p.m. with your Harlem Shake attire.
