I feel like I did decent for my first time ever doing this.

Every month, sponsored by the poetry club, the library hosts a poetry reading. “I never thought I would be interested in [poetry readings] because I’m not the biggest poetry fan,” Walters said. “I think poetry is a very succinct way to express feelings and get a story across. Whereas lots of books have a span of a whole story, but it’s put in a lot of words. The power of poetry is that you can be so succinct within, and there’s a lot of power within the words that are used.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/KIM-1200x800.jpg)

Students Advance to Internationals in DECA
Senior Avery Daniel holding her award that allows her to advance on to Internationals in DECA. “I have been in DECA since freshman year,” Daniel said. “I have been competing since sophomore year so to have finally have made it has been really rewarding.”
March 1, 2017
On Feb. 24-26, DECA students traveled to San Antonio to compete in the state DECA competition. Four out of the 15 students qualified for Internationals, otherwise known as ICDC.
Seniors Brittany Ballou and Avery Daniel are advancing to Internationals for Fashion Merchandising and senior Sagar Kansara and junior Greg Phea are advancing in Independent Business Plan. Alternates are: senior Chris Burleson for sports and entertainment marketing and senior Luke Williamson in Fashion Merchandising.
Williamson, however, had an unique case in qualifying as an alternate. He achieved a perfect score on both the paper and the presentation, however his combined test and presentation score was not enough to make it to ICDC.
Internationals will be held in Anaheim, California on Apr. 26-29.

I qualified for internationals with the minimum 70 test score – I just got beat out by someone who had a better combined test/presentation score 🙂
Sorry for being annoying. I <3 the Wolfpack
