Figuring out your mentor, signatures, and making sure your proposal looks right. It’s that time of year again. The senior projects are back!

As the school year draws closer and closer to the end, it’s the upcoming juniors turn to take on the challenge of senior projects. The senior projects were created to allow students to get a better idea of what they may want to do when they graduate.

There have been many different projects ranging from replacing the engine in a 1967 Hot Rod to job shadowing a mortician.

This year, a lot of the juniors may be bringing new projects to the table.

JHS junior, Nick Thorne, has his sights set on doing a weight training camp. “I’ll be taking kids and training them into better athletes.” Thorne said that he picked JHS teacher, David Stuhlberg, to be his mentor, simply because he wants to have a mentor close by in case he ever needs to talk to him.

Junior, Dallin Mena, has always been the kind of student who loves to get himself involved with JHS, whether it is Drama of Advanced Speech. But for his project, he looks towards the dramatic side for his project. Mena’s project will be producing, directing, and starring in a film. He said that so far he’s the only actor in his film. “It’s a challenging thing, but, I like a challenge!”

The senior project requires one to pick two of three areas from: Education, Community Service, or Career.

Junior, Cassie Novis, will be based on Education and Community Service. For her project, she’ll be conducting art classes for daycares. “I’ll be teaching them the basics of art. Like the color wheel and the primary colors.” Novis chose this project because her favorite class has always been Art.

All the juniors are in the process of getting their proposals ready. What are some new unique projects for this year? We’ll just ave to wait an see!

Flannel day, Twin day, Ugly sweater day, Crazy Winter, and Black and Orange day?

What’s going on? Winter homecoming!

This week along with the many wacked out dress up days, comes with a purpose. Such as Fridays’ theme, Orange and Black, where the school encourages student body and administrators to partake in the support of their athletic systems. Winter homecoming was thought of by the Student Council about five years ago.

Many students, such as Meagan Anderson and Shelby Peters, have been dressing up for these crazy days. Their outfits on Twin Day were very simple just dressing up with the same kind of name brands. Others have been dressing up as pretty little princesses, or even hippies.

“I love winter homecoming, It gives us days to have fun while learning,” said Ana King

She has also been dressing up for all these days She thinks JHS should have winter homecoming ever year, because it gives us a chance to show our school spirit on other days besides our regular homecoming week.

On Orange and Black day there was an insane assembly with some special performances from Lady Gaga, The Gogo’s, and Sunny and Sher.

Rock paper scissors, was one of the few games played which freshman Jason Borba won.

IPods were given out to two students after the Juniors won the class competitions.

All winter sports were introduced and talk about their sesason.

What an amazing winter homecoming. Good Luck to all the sports teams!

Art produced or intended primarily for beauty rather than utility. Take a look at Shaylee Scherer’s art. It’s amazing!

Scherer has taken art through JHS Art teacher, Keith Farnsworth’s, class ever since her freshman year.

Farnsworth said that Scherer has had some really good gains in her art and real good creativity. “Shaylee came up with a special art project. A series of drawings centered on the circus. She organized it and created her own concepts of the circus poster art,” said Farnsworth. Her art was even displayed in the hall.

Farnsworth said that Scherer’s media of art that she specializes in are color pencil and paint. He said she has improved immensely in both of them.

On Scherer’s circus piece, she wanted to have it faded. So she had them sanded down after she had them overlapped with a few layers of paint.

Farnsworth said that she has used information from art history to shape out her art. “Shaylee looked at some and old pulp art poster which was used to get her idea for the circus poster. She then analyzed the posters and created her own unique poster art.

JHS Senior, Elena Dean, sat next to Scherer in a lot of the art classes they had together. She always gave her advice. “She’s such an amazing artist, she very rarely asked for advice,” said Dean.

Dean said she would love to go to on to school to expand her artistic skills.

“But she has other plans to become a teacher,” Dean said.

Once again the JHS Cheerleaders hosted a Mini Cheer Camp held on February 4-5th in the old Middle School Gym. This camp was open to grades K-12 and was hoped to be a big suc-cess.

The main purpose of this camp was to get both the community and kids excited about cheer and the program the cheerleaders do.

The kids were taught a variety of things including: crowd involvements, cheers, stunts, tum-bling, conditioning, voice projection, jumps etc., very similar to what the cheerleaders taught at the first camp.

Of course the cheer coaches are always hoping to increase the amount of kids who attend this event. They want to get both the community and kids excited about cheer and what their cheerleaders do.

The Cheerleaders had an increase in the amount of kids who attended this event. The num-ber went from 69 kids to 79 within the distance between the two camps.

So hosting this kind of event must cut into the cheer budget a lot right?

Wrong! The cheerleaders use these events as a fundraiser. Although they don’t make much profit after expenses, Coach Anne Sharp thinks that it’s always nice to see the cheerleaders and kids enjoying themselves while working together, which in the end, makes it all worth-while.

“We had so much positive feedback from kids and parents after the last camp; we anticipate the same level of fun and excitement this time as well,” said cheer coach, Anne Sharp.

The kids cheered with the JHS Cheerleaders for the first half of the game, filling up both sides of the gym. Because there were so many kids, they had to split up how many kids would cheer for which quarter, so that they were not in the way of the ref’s or players.

Shortly after the kids were done cheering, most of the parents who were there left. They evi-dently stayed for just enough time to see their children perform.

“I think it’s great! Any time you can get younger kids involved, it has the potential to build

Presidents day Presidents Day is a federal holiday celebrated in honor of all our great Presidents. This holiday is celebrated on the third Monday of February, where many stores especially car dealers hold bargains, and various schools are closed. Until January 1, 1971, everyone celebrated this holiday as Washington’s Birthday, in honor of our first president, George Washington. As time passed they changed Washington’s Birthday into Presidents Day to honor Lincoln’s birthday as well.

Abraham Lincoln became our 16th president in 1861 and Washington in February 22, 1732. They are both thought to be one of the greatest Presidents ever.

All Presidents who’ve made it to office always leave us something to remember them by, either good or bad.

In celebration of this holiday, many people take the advantage and go on vacation, especially to historical places such as Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.

For those that don’t know what could possibly be on Mt. Rushmore, I’ll let you know. Mt Rushmore was the brilliant idea of Doane Robinson in 1923. Robinson hired a sculptor named Gutzon Borglum to help him out. Together they planned and carved the faces of four very important Presidents, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln on the south side of the mountain.

Mt. Rushmore is a great example of how Presidents can be honored and respected for what they’ve done to make things better for everyone and this country. So everyone should consider the history behind Presidents Day and why people celebrate it.

“My dad was in the military so we always celebrated Presidents Day, I’ve only seen Mt. Rushmore at a far distance but I think that the people that did it were very supportive of the Presidents,” said Freshman Rudi Rogers

As a farmer, Washington grew marijuana on his farm and promoted its growth, for crop reasons at Mount Vernon.

He was the only president who did not live in Washington D.C.

Washington rejected a movement among army officers to make him king of the United States.

Lincoln disliked killing and harming animals, even for food, he was fond of pets and owned horses, cats, dogs and a turkey.

Lincoln, one week before his death, had a dream of someone crying in the White House, when he found the room; he looked in and asked who had passed away. The man in the room said the President. When he looked in the coffin it was his own face he saw, he had shared this dream with his main bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon,

Lincoln was the tallest U.S president at 6ft 4 inches.

Black History MonthBlack History Month is a very important event for the United States, especially to African Americans. February was the chosen month to celebrate Black History, since many important events occurred that month, that changed how things were before and have become now. February holds a significant meaning to those who suffered in times of segregation between whites and blacks.

One important event was the Civil Rights movement; where Martin Luther King Jr. took about 250,000 people both black and white to march from Washington’s Monument to where Lincoln Memorial was near at. This march was to call out for voting rights, equal employment, and the ending of racial segregation, in this was where King gave his famous “I have a Dream” speech.

Malcolm X was also an important figure of the NOI (Nation of Islam) commonly known as the Black Muslims. NOI combined Islam with Black Nationalism and wanted to encourage disadvantaged young blacks searching for confidence during segregation.

Wouldn’t we all need confidence in a time like that?

Today we may not think about segregation or race as often as before, but we know it still exists.

Honestly many of us probably didn’t even know it was Black History Month or the stories it hold. Its history is too much to ignore and forget. So let’s remember all what people went through, only because they were born with a darker color.
