Blue Bell back on shelves
September 16, 2015
The heat beats down on her as she pulls up at her family grocery store with her checklist ringing in her head: “eggs, milk, cheese…” Ambling, she makes her way into the store. She glides isle from isle, till she heads for the freezer section. Her mouth drops. There, sitting behind the frosted glass doors, encased with ice, is her favorite ice cream. Blue Bell is back.
In May, almost all ice cream lovers had the biggest shock of a lifetime; Blue Bell ice cream was taken off of shelves for reevaluation. In the beginning of the year, they began the process of testing whether or not the ice cream was positive for Listeria according to CBSNews, who later confirmed that it was. Then, in April, the process began to remove all BB Ice Cream from grocery stores and warnings were sent out to any family possessing BB in their freezers. From then news articles surfaced all asking one question: How will Blue Bell survive this crash?
According to a USA TODAY Money article, fellow Texan Billionaire Sid Bass, who was ranked 324 on Forbes’s wealthiest people in America, invested in the company. The article then goes on to say that the boost in capitol will increase money lost with the recall and will help with production.
10 days ago, Blue Bell made its first appearance in some Texas and Alabama stores. Since then, the never ending twitter universe has been buzzing with #bluebellisback and fans couldn’t be more excited according to USA TODAY. However, Blue Bell is originally only released 4 flavors: Dutch Chocolate, Homemade Vanilla, Cookies ‘n Cream, and The Great Divide for the time being. However on Sep. 2 the Blue Bell twitter has announced that they will also releasing Buttered Pecan. Though, only certain flavors might be found in certain stores. There is no word on whether or not other favorites will be released.
The road has been rocky for the Blue Bell Company, but fans hope that with the new capital, new main location and a new start, that things can only go up from here.

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].”
