This is just one of many things the school does to show appreciation to veterans, and the art will remain in the courtyard as a reminder of all of the veterans who served their country. “On veteran’s day, I think it’s a great thing we do at school to honor people that served [who are] at our school or family members,” English teacher and cheer coach Nadira King said. “It makes me feel proud, and it makes me remember the [veterans].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Capture.png)

But I think the reason it went well [was that] people got to ask questions. I'm glad that she said so much in response to the questions and it wasn't just one and done.

During the summer, Peterson traveled to Colombia to help build an elementary school that only had two classrooms but five or six grades with one teacher. “We add[ed] two more classrooms,” Peterson said. “It’s kind of hard when you have two or three grades in one classroom and you only have one teacher. It’s very hard to actually get some beneficial learning. [The extra classrooms will give the students] a better quality of education because they’ll actually have a place specific for their learning.” Photo by Taylor Peterson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Taylor-P.png)

October 22, 2019
In hopes to emphasize the safety of students in their schools and communities, as well as advocate for the prevention of bullying, every year PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center holds Unity Day in October.
The No Place For Hate club has organized Unity Day tomorrow in the counseling office, where students can sign the resolution of respect, a pledge to be a more tolerant person. Students and staff are encouraged to wear orange, which according to PACER,“[it is] a color associated with safety and visibility.”
Sponsor and biology teacher, Adam Babich, said that this event holds significance to him due to his own personal experiences when he was younger.
“I was a bully when I was younger and I was bullied,” Babich said. “It’s important to me to reach out to students and give them a point of contact if they need it.”
President of NPFH, senior Nasreen Marikar, said that with this event, the club hopes to encourage kindness.
“We are really focusing on promoting kindness throughout the community,” Marikar said. “[We] want to create an accessible way for students to participate.”
Babich said that he hopes people become more self aware with their words and actions.
“I hope it brings more awareness to the sometimes unconscious acts that we do that may lead to more direct bullying,” Babich said. “Also, I hope it allows people to think about the words they use.”
