![On March 20, the theatre program performed their UIL One Act play Frankenstein. “I could barely believe what I heard after [it was] announced that we were advancing,” freshman Zack Williams said. “It was crazy. Being one of the only freshmen in the show and also [being] a lead definitely put pressure on my shoulders. I knew that the only thing I could do was my best, but that was until I started to think what if my best was not enough? I was feeling like I could never amount to being what [everyone else] thought I was. Although, after hearing that announcement, I realized that maybe I have something going for me after all.”

Students without passes will not be able to park in the school parking lot, and if they do, AP’s will be notified. ““[When I catch people skipping] I notify the students AP and from there Im not sure what happens,” Gallagher said. “[I can also stop people for] speeding through the parking lot [since] the speed limit is 10 mph on campus.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Heidi-1-1200x800.jpg)

Coach Philip Pederson, wrestling coach and world geography teacher gave a presentation to parents and students about having the self-discipline to make yourself successful.
“The speech has two main parts- teaching kids what it takes to be successful, and helping parents meet the students’ emotional needs so that they can help them and show they care,” Pederson said.
Pederson also talked about some of his personal experiences as a child growing up in Iowa.
“Pederson’s presentation encourages parents to be open to hearing what their students have to say,” parent Jim Lamm said.
Coach Pederson decided to develop a presentation to parents when he saw that there were a lot of students that could reach their full potential but needed their parent’s support to help them succeed.
“It’s good to hear about parents connecting more with their kids after they come to the presentation,” Pederson said. “It helps them create a better family, and if you have good families, I believe it can create a better school.”
Pederson is planning to present another speech soon with a date still in the works.
