Tran said the wins against Smithson Valley and Alamo Heights gave the team a morale boost to take on the Raiders tonight. “I know we were not 100% confident in those games,” Tran said. “But, Rouse is a big opponent for sure. We’re definitely going into tonight with a lot of morale [because of the previous wins].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/frances-tran.jpg)

Terry said his proudest moments are when his students are happy to see him. “When I take my wife to a football game or something and a bunch of students want to say hi to me or they like to smile and wave and it just makes me feel good that the students are really kind and supportive of me,” Terry said. “[I’m also] proud when I see students perform really well in their extracurriculars because I can see how hard they’re working in my classes, [so] when I see that they’re also working so hard in other things. Like they’re winning band competitions or they’re getting awards for their theater productions, or I see them put on their choir shows, that’s like, wow, you guys are incredible.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rags-6.png)

Children’s laughter and parents’ chatter reigned over a game and candy-filled late October Sunday. Trunk or Treat, hosted by Student Council, was a huge hit Oct. 28 among little kids in the community. Some clubs that participated included FFA, PALS, Environmental Club, FCCLA, Key Club, NHS and Cheer.“There’re so many different varieties of games, and it’s so fun to see everyone dressed up, especially the cute little kids,” Key Club Senior Representative Meg Groves said. “It’s a great opportunity to get the community together and to meet new people and just have fun.”
Clubs at CPHS have been hosting Trunk or Treat since 2007 with different organizations and clubs from the school setting up games in car trunks while the younger kids go around in crazy, funny and adorable costumes playing the games and winning candy.
“I like making a horsie at the arts and crafts booth,” four year old Angela Lamm, who dressed up as a fairy princess, said. “My favorite candy is lollipops and M&M’s.”
CPHS hosts trunk or treat every year because it is a tradition that helps with the canned food drive, and gives students a chance to be around kids and get community service hours.
“Just seeing the smiles on the kid’s faces, and just to see them all happy and having fun is my favorite part of Trunk or Treat,” Groves said.
Mrs. Stapleton, teacher sponsor of the DECA club attended Trunk or Treat to help with their booth.
“My favorite part of Trunk or Treat is getting the community to come out and getting the students involved,” Stapleton said.
