Message ideas to say to students while on the roof.
Every year KHS holds its anuual fund in efforts to raise money for our school. This year, Dr. Landry decided to do something different. He camped out on the roof for 24 hours. The more money that was raised, the more things were taken away from him. “I didn’t know when it was coming,” explained Dr. Landry, “the cards got taken away while I was playing.” In all, the fund raised more than $28,000, enough to leave Dr.Landry overnight with only a sleeping bag. “It was colder than I thought, but I was prepared for the cold,” Landry said. Overall, the fundraiser was a really great way for students to show their support for the school, and our principal. “It was alot of fun... the students made it very exciting,” Landry said.

There have been many fundraiser going on at Kingwood High School , one of them being the NHS Jukebox Fundraiser. If you haven’t heard, they have been playing music at all lunches on Tuesdays and Fridays. “We are raising funds for our partner philanthropy, Casa Cielo, which is a children’s home in Honduras” explained Robyn Marshal,12, President of NHS, “It’ll go to their food, school supplies, and clothes”. Donating is simple, you pick a song from their list and pay a dollar for it to play. The twist is that someone can change your song if they pay more money than you payed. As Robyn explains, “It creates a feeling of competition”. So join in on a fun way to raise money for a good cause while listening to your favorite songs.“We raised over $500 thanks to the competitive spirit of our mustangs!” NHS vice president Cody Cheirs said.

A Picture of A Thousand Words
story by James Yoo and photos by Megan Bereznay Avid photographer Megan Bereznay has found a way to take her hobby to the next level with “A Picture of A Thousand Words.” “Besides raising money for “Lost Children Of Peru,” it’s also just a way to raise awareness for some of the world’s modern issues,” Bereznay said. “Lost Children of Peru” is an organization that takes money to fund basic necessities to orphans in Peru. Bereznay donates the money earned from these photo shoots to this organization. “The people participating get to have a photo shoot and the last pictures are of them holding signs with the words they want,” Bereznay said. To publicize these photos, Bereznay posts some of the shots on Facebook for the people around the community to view. “After we do the photo shoot, I send the photos to the models and let them edit them and share them with anyone they want,” Bereznay said. By taking these photo shoots, Bereznay hopes to raise money to make a great impact of the “Lost Children of Peru” and to expose to the community some of the world’s biggest issues.

Dr. Monk: a man of style
story by Skylar McKinney and photos by Alanis Hernandez Have you ever noticed a very vibrant man walking the hallways or greeting the students every day? This man you see is Dr. Monk, a new Assistant Principal at Kingwood High School. He’s known for his colorful arrangements of clothes and suits. When asked his favorite, he would proudly respond, “My Dress Blue Uniform which matches Kingwood colors.” Dr. Monk hasn’t always been a member of KHS. He previously worked at Kingwood’s old rival school, Humble High. But, with the courage to join our Blue Team, we can say he’s made a great choice. Monk’s Kingwood spirit radiates every day when he talks to and greets every student and teacher with a smile that shows he could never have a better job than the one he has right now. He’s very happy to be part of the family and supports us every Friday by showing our colors, Blue and White.

KHS hosted the second annual Best Buddies basketball game on Wednesday, December 4th. The event was held in the big gym from 6 to 8 pm. “This event is going to be epic!” Faculty adviser Ronnie Loflin said, “For those of you who do not know, it is a real basketball game between our special needs students and Kingwood Park’s special needs students. It is such a big deal for them and it is a real highlight in their high school career”. This isn’t just a basketball game though, it is so much more! Both schools’ cheerleaders and dance teams put on a fantastic halftime show with the buddies. In addition to this, both Schools ROTC members performed a flag ceremony and both choirs sang the national anthem. The purpose of this event was to raise money and, of course, to have fun! The money raised from the Best Buddies basketball game goes to our school’s special needs program so the students can go on field trips in the spring, “The reason I am promoting this so much is that this is our only fund raiser this year,” Loflin said. Best Buddies is a wonderful program and the basketball game is always an “epic” event to go to. “I encourage anyone to drop on by anytime of the day to meet the students and see what we are all about,” Loflin said. A big ‘thank you’ to anyone and everyone that showed up to this event, lets make next year just as fun!
Toy Drive
Kingwood High School
story by Gabby Snell and photos by Erin Hester As the holidays are approaching, all Humble ISD schools prepare for the annual KHS Toy Drive. “The Toy Drive takes place from November 11th to the 22nd,” senior Caroline Cates said. “All of the Humble ISD high schools compete against each other to see which school donates the most toys.” If you don’t have a toy to donate, you can just pull five dollars out of your pocket to give instead. The money and toys are going to needy children who will be more than grateful to get toys for Christmas. “The best part about the Toy Drive is that you know that a needy child will be enjoying a new toy that we can donate,” senior Ronnie Chapman said. Donating not only helps out kids in need, but is also a benefit for students. For every toy or five dollars donated, students are given one wristband. “That wristband can be used in certain classes when taking a test,” senior Natalie Saladino said. “For example, in Anatomy, the wristband counts for 5 bonus points for our upcoming test.” Each wristbands can only be used once. The more you donate, the more wristbands you could receive! Overall, $1710.61 was donated, along with 711 toys!

Kingwood Orchestra
Holiday Concerts Senior Evan Duin
story by Erica Ezzell and photos by Madlen Oesterberg The 2013 orchestra season was wrapped up with several concerts in holiday fashion. Most of the music depicted holiday themes, and spread the love for the season with the performances. Several varsity and freshman players called the winter concert, “The concert of the year,” while hanging out in the practice room before school. Dr. Reidlinger and Mrs. Hale, both of which are enthusiastic and very beneficial teachers who have guided the freshman, varsity, and chamber orchestras into great success, were impressed with the quality with which the players preformed. Mario Sarkis, Leigh Anne Robichaux, and Elizabeth Looper all agreed the concert was great and that all the players were in high holiday spirits when they preformed. Some of the music showcased in the concerts included, “Let It Snow,” “Christmas Medley,” and the notorious every year star, “Carol of the Bells. “The music quality was splendid in the recent Chamber concert,” Leigh Anne said. The winter varsity concert December 6th, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where both varsity orchestras played holiday music to wrap up the season. “It was a lovely concert with a lovely setting,” Dr. Reidlinger said. The orchestra was on stage among a collection of homemade nativity scenes built by members of the church and the decorations played into the holiday spirits of both the orchestra and the audience. Tucker Eberling described and complimented the orchestra’s tone and the quality of how they played. The Kingwood Orchestra will continue the year with competition season by entering in solo and ensemble contests, UIL competitions, and showcases across the state.

Movie Reviews SPIDERMAN SERIES Originally a marvel comic publication, the Spiderman series is an exciting set of films with a little something for everyone.“I have seen all the Spiderman movies, and its probably my favorite series because it is so action-packed, and he’s my favorite superhero,” said Brandon Holsbach. Along with action, throughout the movies we see Peter Parker develop a romantic relationship with Mary Jane Watson, his high school crush. As Peter Parker’s adventures continue, this relationship draws the audience in and creates a more rounded story line. “I’ve only seen 1 and 3, but both movies had a great story and were exciting to watch,” said Trevor Raedisch. A newer development connected to the spiderman is a rebooted series named The Amazing Spiderman with different actors. The second movie in this series is said to come out sometime soon, continuing this legacy of Spiderman’s adventures. FAST AND FURIOUS SERIES Another intense action movie, the Fast and Furious series is a group of movies that seem to never stop coming. So far in the series there are six movies and a seventh has commenced filming and is said to be released next year.“Out of the whole Fast and Furious series, the new ones are definitely better because the action and plot gets more and more intense,” said Daniel Castillo.One of the big appeals of the series is watching the thrilling street race scenes as cars flash across the screen expertly executed in the most amazing cars.“Personally I love cars, so the Fast and Furious movies really appeal to me because the cars that are used are so cool,” said Quinn Ingolia.The very recent death of Paul Walker, who played protagonist Brian O’connor in the films, has left fans wondering what the Fast and Furious series has in store for the future.

BASKETBALL 2013-2014 story by Ellie Fishbourne and photos by Hayley Griffin
“I feel like we have some young guys with potential that work hard on the court. I’m excited to see how they will perform.” -J.J. Jones (12)
Christmas isn’t the only season everyone is buzzing about. Mustang basketball is just beginning and the team has been working hard to get ready for it. “No other team works as hard as us- we go after all loose balls,” senior Garrett Byers said. This years’ team aims to take the season as far as they can, taking one game at a time. “I feel like we have some young guys with potential that work hard on the court, I’m excited to see how they will perform,” senior JJ Jones said. Things are looking good because the team bond this year is stronger than ever but they wouldn’t be the same without the loyal support of the Corner of Chaos. This year the corner should be even more spirited than last. “We are bringing the new football chants we did in the student section to the Corner,” senior Ian Sikes said. The Corner’s cheers help pump up the team in anticipation of victory. Nothing inspires the boys more than our student section coming together to support them. “All of the seniors are excited for our last season in the corner,” senior Mackenzie Haddock said.
Kingwood high school swim team is making a SPLASH into the season. In preparation for this years’ swim meets, the team members will eat lots of carbs, healthy foods like peanut butter, and endure long practices. The varsity practice schedule is from 5:45-7:25 AM. “I feel like we’re going to do how we always do.... kick butt,” senior swimmer Aubrey Richardson said. Richerdson senior has been swimming for 13 years, and her favorite stroke is the breast stroke. “We did well and it was fun to swim with both varsity and JV,” Richardson said after their victory againse Atascocita. Another varsity swimmer, Lexi Lupton shared her thought on the morning practices. “Its hard sometimes, but its worth it.” Lexi has been swimming for 3 years, and she exclaimed, “We have a pretty strong team, so I’m excited for the rest of the season!”

t’s hard to believe 2013 will be wrapping up very soon. This means we’re very close to those 2 weeks off! Pop culture played a big role this year, with Miley Cyrus making headlines all over magazines. It was also a huge year in movies. Plenty of new music was released this year. Let’s not forget all the great things that happened in Houston too! So without further ado, let’s look back on all the amazing, and disappointing, things that happened this year. 2013 in Houston When asked what she looked forward to this year in Houston, junior Victoria Barnett said, “the Renaissance Festival”. It was held from October 12 through December 1. With over 400 shops and unique arts and crafts, there was plenty of entertainment for everyone. Perhaps one of the biggest events in Houston, the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was in March. It is the second largest fair in North America! Some of the biggest names in country music performed this year, including Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw, The Band Perry, and Lady Antebellum. 2013 in Entertainment Miley Cyrus turned into a “twerking queen” this year. Junior Victoria Barnett says the most disappointing part of her year was Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball”. What about Robin Thicke? Well, junior Siera Escola says the most disappointing part of her year was Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” video. While Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke disappointed some, Jennifer Lawrence became more lovable this year. She

won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. As she walked over to accept her award, she slipped on the way up the steps. She brought out her humorous personality and claimed the fall was on purpose. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was one of the most anticipated movies this year, bringing in a whopping $161.1 million its opening weekend. We can’t forget all the melted hearts after The Great Gatsby came out in May. Other huge movies this year include: Man of Steel, Thor: The Dark World, We’re The Millers, and Lee Daniel’s The Butler. And in music, Pearl Jam released their new album Lightening Bolt in October. Jay-Z released his new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail in July. Brad Paisley released his new album Wheelhouse in April. 80’s alternative group New Order, known for “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle” released a new album in January titled Lost Sirens. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs released “Mosquito” in April. There were many other new albums released this year from big names like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Justin Timberlake. 2013 in Sports The Miami Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals in June. Stay tuned for the 2013-14 season…the Houston Rockets now have Dwight Howard on their team! It was a very close game (34-31), but the Ravens defeated the 49ers in the Super Bowl XLVII in February. All of us at the Kingwood Courier Staff would like to wish you all Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year!
