I got involved in Journalism my eighth grade year. I worked on my middle schools yearbook with Mr. Coryell. My friend got me into yearbook when I was a sophomore. I learned so much my first year since I didn’t take Journalism before. Being thrown right in has helped me because it made me learn quickly because I didn’t want to be behind. By being on staff, I have learned so much about design and writing. I have become a stronger writer with a better eye for grammar. I also learned how to ask others for help when I’m in need rather than struggle alone. Corresponding back and forth with parents and business owners has helped my communication skills immensely. Teamwork was very important when I had a shared deadline. Flag Football was a success because my partners and I worked together by splitting up the work but also helping each other. When I was on deadline, I was responsible for getting all the work done and it helped me learn more responsibility. My photography skills have improved immensely. Before this year, I didn’t know how to work a camera on Manual. Taking yearbook has been rewarding in so many ways. I am happy to be able to return next year as a section editor again. The skills I have learned in this class will help me in the future get a job, and be successful in this class again.

I think my retiree story on Cheryl Race was my most significant work this year. This is because it was my only story. It was a big improvement from my story last year. When this deadline began, I was got ahead of deadline. I got a concussion at the end but I was still able to finish the page on deadline. Luckily I had worked so hard at the beginning of the deadline so when I got injured, I was already done with my page During this deadline, I learned how to manage my time, which was helpful for the rest of the year. I also learned better writing and photography skills.

Y19. Feature Photo Theme, 130-131, Deadline 5 don’t drop that. Playing a game at the Junior Class assembly, Alexandra Colon and Alyssa Velez laugh after they dropped the orange ball they were trying to pass between their necks. “[The games] built up the environment and everyone was laughing their butts off,” Colon said. “Trying to keep the ball in my neck, was the hardest part because I have a small neck so it was tough to get it to fit.”
Y18. Academic photo Theme, 006-007, Deadline 2 TOSS IT UP. For National French Week, senior Miriam Gonzalez tosses the ball in a game of pétanque on the practice field. “[My favorite part of pétanque was] when our whole team was scoring and giving everyone high fives and congratulating each other,” Gonzalez said. “It was more fun than actual class and I was really into it.”

When that day came, I clearly remember my first gaze into your beautiful eyes. I watched in awe as you developed your playful personality. Your deep, infectious laugh was so distinct from the time you were only a few months old. The day you learned to crawl, you took off in a game of chase. Even as a baby, you loved being around people and parties. Your caring nature inspired you to take in your best friend as your sister and sacrifice your family and home. I am so proud of how you are self-reliant, motivated and a super successful student. You have grown to be a beautiful, strong and independent young lady. I love you beyond words.

Ready for a new experience, English teacher Cheryl Race felt prepared when it came time to retire; of her 30 years teaching, she spent 29 of them on the Reservation because of its people. “It is such a good school. The students are great and it is such a pleasure to be here. Our students are among the best,” Race said. Although Race enjoyed her job here, she felt that 30 years of teaching was enough. She planned write a short memoir about her education as a child that required her to travel back to the schools she went to in Missouri. She wanted to write about how the schools had changed since she attended. She also planned to spend more time with her granddaughter and grow more active with her hobbies. “Ms. Race’s retirement leaves me feeling bittersweet. I am so happy that she will be able to have freedom to pursue her passions of bike riding and spending time with her granddaughter, Isabella,” English teacher Stacy Liebman said. “But, I am saddened that I won’t be able to see someone who makes me laugh on a daily basis and someone that I hold in such great respect for and call a dear friend.” Liebman had thought of Race as a “dear friend” since 2004 when she came to Boone. She respected Race’s flexibility to teach anything the school’s administration asked of her. “[My advice to new teachers is] to be flexible. Try to look at the students’ point of view. Think beyond the subject and content. Think of the student as an individual and not as a body in a desk,” Race said. One of Race’s well-known attributes was her ability to make her students or colleagues giggle. Liebman admired how she brought laughter to serious situations through her one-liner jokes. “To limit my favorite Ms. Race memory is nearly impossible, but a few of the best are some of the one-liners she shared with students throughout her years like, ‘Stand up if your grade is too high.’ Or when using highlighters to score student writing, she would tell them ‘Blue means redo, and pink means it doesn’t stink’,” Liebman said. Previous students remembered and thanked Race for her helpfulness and friendly personality. “What gives me a lot of pride is when previous students contact me and thank me for my help and guidance,” Race said. “I am proud just a joke. Before writing the day’s lesson on the board, that people in this world have thought about the help I have given long Cheryl Race chuckles at her own joke. “I try to help people look after it was rendered.” at issues in a variety of ways. Things are not black and white,”
