Prom Fashion Show
The Prom Fashion Show, an event where students get to model Prom attire in a fashion show setting, will be held on Feb. 18 in the auditorium. Savvy Formalwear will provide dresses and tuxedos for the event. To be one of these models, students signed up with junior class sponsor Marissa Cohen and agreed to sell at least five tickets to the show for $5 each. For students modeling in this event, model senior Marty Aubuchon advises them to be confident and to have fun. Aubuchon also believes that while some teens might be nervous choosing what to wear to prom, the Prom Fashion Show will help students decide what to wear.
“Be comfortable and don’t be nervous,” Aubuchon said.
Cohen looks forward the the show and the differences that come each year.
“I think each year is unique because we have different students involved each year,” Cohen said. “I hope they get to see the fashion for the Prom season with the tux and dresses and have a little fun,” Cohen said. (brief by kj wilson)
Polar Plunge
NHS is joining HOSA and StuCo in sponsoring the Polar Bear Plunge on Feb. 28, which supports the Special Olympics. During this event, students can dress up and jump into Creve Coeur Lake to show their support. Students interested in this event have the responsibility of raising $75 in order to participate. NHS decided to get involved in the event after Principles of Biomedical Science and Anatomy and Physiology teacher Matthew Riffee asked Senior NHS Sponsor Angie Mason if he could speak at an NHS meeting to raise awareness for the event. Then, Mason and the other NHS officers agreed on point values associated with the event.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for NHS to participate in this activity because it raises money for the Special Olympics,” Mason said.
Riffee hopes that through this event, participants will be able to help out the community and raise awareness for the Special Olympics.
“We thought it was a good way to contribute to the community and get students involved,” Riffee said. (brief by kj wilson)
Knights of the Round
On Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the large gym, FHN will host its annual Knights of the Round Table. This event allows the entire staff to each choose one student who stands out most from everyone else. Students can receive this achievement starting their freshman year of high school.
“[Francine] Davis gave it to me when I was in her U.S. History class and she gave it to me because I worked hard every day and I got things done in there,” senior Zack Valleroy said.
Family and friends are encouraged to come to this event. English teacher and co-sponsor of Knights of Excellence Lindsey Scheller is always excited to speak at the event and have the students recognized for their excellence.
“The cool thing about Knights of the Round Table is that there’s nothing you can do to prepare for it,” Scheller said. “Every teacher gets to pick a kid for any reason. There’s nothing you can possibly do to make your chances better other than just be cool.” (brief by garret griffin)
