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].”

![Pictured above is the crafting club social media page that junior Makena Filippoff and sophomore James Morris-Hodges created. The crafting club was created to allow students to have an opportunity to learn how to create different kinds of crafts and to collaborate with other students interested in crafting. “I love to do crafts but I find myself feeling lonely when doing crafts,” Filippoff said. “With no one to share my ideas or experiences with, it can get boring. I wanted to get a group of people that have an interest in learning [and] doing crafts to be able to have fun and socialize while crafting.”

The sound of scissors snipping, the whir of the sewing machine and the chatter of students excitedly sharing their ideas can be heard from room 4005. New creations that range from racing suits to crochet baby blankets are being brought to life in this room. Every Monday, the former sewing club, now revamped crafting club meets to work on self-guided independent projects in the presence of other students that share an interest in crafting.
The crafting club was created for creative, hands-on students by junior Makena Filippoff and sophomore James Morris-Hodges. The club was created to provide different opportunities for students to learn how to craft and sew.
“I love to do crafts but I find myself feeling lonely when doing crafts,” Filippoff said. “With no one to share my ideas or experiences with, it can get boring. I wanted to get a group of people that have an interest in learning [and] doing crafts to be able to have fun and socialize while crafting.”
For Morris-Hodges, the creation of this club was a place to launch his ideas and designs for his future aspirations.
“I wanted to create the crafting club [because] I wanted to make something to help me in my hopefully-future job as a NASCAR driver,” Morris-Hodges said. “I wanted to start the crafting club last year but never got the chance. One day I got an email [from] Mrs. Stribling saying [that] she would be happy to sponsor my club. I said I was still interested and here we are.”
The crafting club provides a variety of supplies and tools needed to help students work on their independent projects.
“We have a bunch of different fabrics, zippers, fabric scissors and elastic,” Morris-Hodges said. “People who come to our club just work on different things. Last meeting people were working on origami, but it’s mostly just random [projects].”
The crafting club meets every Monday during DEN in room 4005. According to Filippoff, getting students involved meant having to spread the word around and find ways to engage with others.
“I am in the band and knew about crafty people so it was easy to ask them to join even with our busy schedule,” Filippoff said. “The second way was Instagram. We were able to create an account to spread word and had all the information to join on there. We were also able to do fun themed craft days that anyone could join.”
Since the club allows members to work on whatever projects they want to pursue, a variety of projects are being worked on. Morris-Hodges is currently working on a NASCAR suit during these meetings. He said the planning process and work put into the suit are well thought-out.
“Right now I am working on a design for a NASCAR suit [and] when I’m done with that I’ll start actually cutting out the fabric and putting it together,” Morris-Hodges said. “I feel like it will take around a month or more to make the suit. I’m probably going to have to use regular fabric to make it a bit baggy, and I’m going to [use] a zipper and velcro and stitch it all up.”
According to Filippoff, the crafting club is a great way to socialize and share ideas with other students interested in crafting.
“My favorite part about this club is the people,” Filippoff said. “They always have something to teach or to talk about, whether it’s a new project or a creation gone wrong. You can always get an idea when talking with others and enjoy your craft at the same time.”
One of the club’s plans is to wear what the students create in this club for their club pictures. Future plans are still being developed, but hopes are high for the club, according to Filippoff.
“One thing I want to see in the future of the club is more group projects,” Filippoff said. “Something we can all work on together and show off, or maybe an event to show off our creations.”
