![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)

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].”

Book: Firelight Trilogy
Author: Sophie Jordan
Rating: 9/10
Price: $12.32 hardcover at Barnes and Noble
The Firelight trilogy follows the story of Jacinda, a teenage girl with the ability to manifest into a dragon. She lives with her mother, who hasn’t manifested in years and sister Tamra, who has never had the ability to manifest at all, with the rest of their pride who call themselves “Draki.” Jacinda has a special ability that no Draki in the pride has had for generations- the ability to breathe fire. Because of this, the pride’s leader wants to have Jacinda and his son Cassian married. But when Jacinda is almost captured by Hunters, humans who want to run experiments on the “mythical creatures” she meets Will, a human boy who brings her inner Draki to life.
Shortly after her near-death encounter with the hunters, Jacinda’s mother runs away from the pride with Tamra, and drags Jacinda with them. Jacinda is forced to blend into the human world, and by doing so she is slowly losing her ability to manifest- which will leave her a human like her mother. But then she finds Will again, and even thinking about him makes her begin to manifest. Although most of his family is Hunters, she needs to stay close to him if her Draki is going to survive. That is, until Cassian finds her and tries to bring her back to the pride.
The second and third books are about Jacinda fighting to keep Will, against all the odds that are against them, along with lots of action and shocking endings.
This trilogy was well written, gripping, and I couldn’t put it down. It was a cross between fantasy and romance, but with enough action so you would never get bored. Something new happened in every chapter. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a strong main female character, and a good fantasy book. The only thing that I didn’t really like was at the end of the third book, there are a lot of unanswered questions that are really hard to infer.
Sophie Jordan also has a Firelight Novella out called Breathless, which tells the story of Jacinda’s best friend Az, and how she falls in love with a human named Tate. Sophie Jordan also writes Historical romance and Paranormal Romance novels.
