GSA and NPFH spread the love with Valentines for all
During A lunch on Friday Feb. 12, GSA president junior Cindy Orr hands out valentine’s to students at the attendance office. During both A and B lunch GSA and NPFH members passed out valentines cards to students around the school, they also passed them out to teachers in the morning. “The teachers were really excited and thankful and handing them out to the staff was really fun,” Orr said.” Some of the students were excited too, it was a little more awkward to hand them out, but it got better as we went along. Some of them reacted just as awkward as we felt.”

On Friday Feb. 12, the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) and No Place For Hate (NPFH) clubs handed out valentines cards to students and staff around campus.
“We wanted a new project to work on and thought that the valentines would be fun and could make people’s day,” said GSA president junior Cindy Orr.
With the two clubs combined efforts, it took around four hours to make the valentines. They bought the cards from Randalls and then wrote one each one “To you! from GSA/NPFH” and put a temporary tattoo or sticker inside each one. The total number of cards made neared 500, with 100 being set aside for teachers. Junior CW Ko enjoyed helping hand out the valentines to teachers in the morning before school.
“The teachers were super receptive and enthusiastic and it was really fun,” Ko said. “It was more awkward with the students, but it was still cool and some people were really happy to get them. Several students were really excited and some came up to me later to show me they put on the tattoos.”
The clubs were pleasantly surprised by how receptive the students were about receiving the valentines which they passed out during the A and B lunches.
“I expected the students to just throw them out but I was was very pleased when I saw people actually using the tattoos,” said sophomore Cassidy Peña.
Orr hopes to make the valentines an annual project and improve upon it each year.
“Our next project is getting ready for the Day of Silence in April,” Orr said. “We’re going to try to make it a more school-wide event and we’re planning on handing out stickers and info cards to anyone who wants to participate.”

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)

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].”
