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)

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].”

Movie Review: “I’m Thinking of Ending Things”
Charlie Kaufman’s Latest Romance Thriller
Charlie Kaufman’s latest movie “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” makes viewers question their life in the form of a romantic thriller.
November 6, 2020
Relationships can be tough, but what happens when that relationship isn’t really a relationship at all? Charlie Kaufman’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” is a Netflix original thriller/horror film that tells the story from the perspective of Lucy as she embarks with her boyfriend on their first road trip. However, the longer Lucy begins to ponder their dynamic, the more strange and odd things become.
The movie begins with ominous tones and Lucy’s narration of the current state of relationship with her boyfriend Jake and the doubts she feeling despite Jake seeming like a good guy. As they make their way towards their destination which happens to be Jake’s parents’ house, Lucy converses in her mind about the perplexities of why people stay in relationships that they know aren’t going to work, and her internal conflict is something that many of the viewers can relate to. Throughout the rest of the drive to his parents’ house hints are given off that not everything is as it seems.
As the couple arrives at Jake’s parents’ house there is an ominous and strange mood that sets the scene from the very beginning. Everything seems a bit off, strange coincidences like photos on the wall that match Lucy’s, exact copies of Lucy’s painting at home and the odd dynamic between Jake and his parents. As the movie continues it shifts into an almost dream-like reality slowly maintaining suspense by taking the viewer through one imaginative scene onto the next. The true horror in the film isn’t expressed by a cheap jumpscare or some CGI monster instead it comes from our own minds and the fear that this situation we find Jake and Lucy in could become our own reality.
In the end, everything ties up leaving the viewers with one final question, what could have been and what have we become? My favorite part about this movie is that it left me with new questions that I now ask myself. All in all, I give this movie an eight out of ten for its use of non-traditional storytelling through imagery and its clever use of metaphors and references throughout the film.
