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. [The author’s responses] felt very articulate.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Sebastian-5-1200x800.jpg)

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)

It was just really important for us to win this match since it was the district finals. [When we won I felt] overwhelmingly happy, especially being there with my teammates and it being my senior year. It was just really great. It [felt] like a community.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tennis-Districts-e1728060882260.png)

As an end to the 2013-14 school year, CPHS juniors and seniors participated in the traditional Powderpuff game at the CPMS fields on May 31. Although the school had decided against sponsoring the game, the student body kept the tradition alive by coordinating the game on their own.
Seniors took it into their own hands by making sure each player signed a waiver, as well as designing and selling shirts for both teams. Since there was no involvement from the school, it was up to the students to organize each practice and decide where and when the game would take place.
“I think it went really well for being run by the students,” senior Tatum English said. “It was important to me as a senior to be a part of it because I didn’t get to play last year.”
This year the game ended with a win by the senior class with a score of 12-6.
