On Sunday Oct. 4 from 3 to 5pm, color guard will be hosting a fundraiser at Painting with a Twist at 12129 Ranch Road 620 N. Painting with a Twist offers guided painting classes for all skill levels and ages. They have a calendar online that shows all the upcoming classes; you can reserve a seat online or over the phone. There is also an option to hold a private party, like senior and co-captain of the color guard Savannah Shadle did for her 16 birthday.
“[At the party] we painted a mom and a baby moose,” said Shadle. “Everyone had so much fun. The social aspect of it is probably my favorite part, everyone’s laughing and eating together, it was awesome.”
The fundraising party will also be painting a heron in rainbow tones. Guard member and junior Erin Ryan is excited to take a stab at painting it herself.
“I really love how colorful it is,” said Ryan. “Many of the colors on the bird remind me of the pop of color at the beginning of our show when we bring out all the flags.”
Shadle’s co-captain and close friend, junior Maddie Cuff, is also looking forward to going to Painting with a Twist for her third time. The first time she went was to Shadle’s party, and the second was when she painted a Van Gogh-esque version of the TARDIS from the popular TV show “Doctor Who.”
“Both times I’ve been I’ve had a lot of fun and learned a lot about painting,” said Cuff. “I’m not an artist by any means – I’m actually quite bad at it if I’m being honest – but they walk you through every step and you get to eat and talk and it’s a lot of fun for everyone at any age. Both paintings I’ve done are hanging in my house and I’m really proud of them”

Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”
