Prep News Produced Online

With in-person classes canceled for a snow day, the Prep News took production online once more. Editors gathered on zoom to edit articles and layout the paper. When pushed to its limits, the Prep News once again persevered and put out another issue of the best paper west of the Mississippi. 

A Celebration of the Arts

The theatre department is putting together a talent show to stream online on April 16 and 17. It will take place in the Schulte Theater and also be streamed online. Students, faculty, and staff are all allowed to audition. To audition, performers can record a video of their act and email it to Mrs. Whitaker, Mr. Moore, and/or Mr. McKernan. Performances are not limited; any type of artistic talent is welcome. Auditions for the talent show are due by March 1. 

Sophomore Retreat

The sophomore retreat is being planned for April 8 and April 9. However, it will not be an overnight retreat; it will occur after school on Thursday, April 8 from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. and Friday, April 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. It is expected that the entire sophomore class attends. In an era of isolation, the retreat is a rare opportunity to bring the class together for faith and formation. 

Announcements Hacked

On Monday, February 8, Assistant Principal for Student Life Brock Kesterson’s announcement email was hacked by some anonymous students. Two announcements seemed odd to readers of the email: one titled “obamna” with the content “mmmmmmmm,” and the other titled “Cranbaisins” with the content “Cranbaisins.” The offenders have yet to be publicly identified.
