![Musical theatre class runs through “Footloose” during their dress rehearsal. 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)
![After he takes the handoff, senior running back Trae Hill runs down the field in search of a first down. 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].”

While some children go door to door collecting tasty treats, others go door to door collecting loose change for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). UNICEF is an association dedicated to saving the lives of impoverished children around the world by providing them with clean water, food and shelter.
Key Club, a student community service organization, is once again joining forces with UNICEF; holding their annual fall collection during the Halloween season. UNICEF is an important organization for Key Club as money is collected by the club every year and donated. Megan Buck, senior and member of Key Club since 9th grade, was introduced to UNICEF through Key Club.
“We are given little orange boxes to collect change” said Buck.” An easy way to collect a bunch of money is to ask all of your friends and classmates, and if you have any spare change at home, throw it in the orange box! It adds up fast!”
Every cent counts when it comes to saving the life of a child. Buck collected $8 in change last year for UNICEF. If every student at Cedar Park High School were to collect, at the very least, $5, nearly $10,000 could be gathered and donated.
Another Halloween-themed charity is Trunk-or-Treat, an organized trick-or-treating event that charges canned food for admission that is collected for a local food pantry. Games are played and candy is collected; through this fun activity, the entire community is enriched and helped. Fun is not limited to the children who participate in the event. The students who facilitate the activities join in the revelry as well.
“I loved it!” Lyndsey Teets, junior, said “I enjoyed it probably as much as the kids did. I’m doing it again this year and I can’t wait! It is so much fun!”
Teets was introduced to Trunk-or-Treat through the Invisible Children club, which is a club that raises money for war torn areas in Uganda. The club also spreads awareness about the problems underprivileged children in other countries are facing and any money collected by the club goes to building schools for those children. Invisible Children and Key Club are not the only student organizations to help. Student volunteers from the National Honor Society also lend a hand decorated cars and setting up games. Trunk-or-Treat allows the entire student body to get involved in the community and create some unforgettable Halloween memories.
Trunk-or-Treat will be held in the student parking lot October 24. All are welcome to come and support the community with donations of canned goods, time and Halloween fun.
