After months of learning the French culture, French I classes prepared dishes of their choice and presented them to their classes from May 13 to May 17.
There was a selection of savory and sweet dishes, from chocolate cream puffs to palmiers to ratatouille, there was something for most people’s palettes.
With a range of difficulty in the dishes being prepared, it could be expected for some mishaps to occur. Freshman Aimee Morin was set to prepare the complicated, Beef Bourguignon (beef stew), but was not able to do so, due to time constraints.
“I wasn’t able to make it due to time constraints,” Morin said. “It is a long process, which can take up to four hours to prepare. A difficulty is cooking the meat just right [so] it isn’t tough or too squishy.”
Sophomore Emily Crocker, who made a bruschetta, said she enjoyed taking part in this project because it combined her love for cooking and the French culture.
“I really enjoyed this project because I really like cooking and getting to try all the French dishes was really fun,” Crocker said. “I thought [the project] was important because it helps us with understanding part of the French culture.”
Freshman Meredith Jenkins said she also enjoyed the project because she was excited to immerse herself in the French cuisine and said that with this experience she hopes to bake a soufflé.
“I think this project is important cause it’s easier to learn in an environment where what you’re learning about is interactive,” Jenkins said.

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)

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].”
