Relay For Life Is Here!
Relay For Life is the number one fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. It's also the world's largest movement to end cancer. It's a life-changing event that gives people the chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease! Please come out to this event and show your un-divided support to all these courageous people! Andrew Welker attended this event last year. "I was overwhelmed with how well it was set up, how caring the environment was, and that feeling I got after it was completed when I went home, I felt like I contributed to not only our community but to the lives of others around the world."

Your Life. Your Choice.
Every year seniors are encouraged to attend a special presentation at Parkside Church before prom and graduation. There, they witness the stories of victims' families and those who have been imprisoned due to drinking and driving. The program is set up in order to get the point across to everyone that drinking and driving does kill, and that there will be consequences if you are the one who decides to drive while intoxicated. The police force takes time out of their day to volunteer and show the importance of safety and how getting in a car while intoxicated can change the lives of hundreds of people.
Your Life,Your Choice
Your Life, Your Choice took place Tuesday for all seniors at Parkside church in Aurora. The program is sponsored by Geauga country sheriffs and a way for local authorities and families to tell their personal stories of loss and heartbreak. The annual event includes not only the family and friends of the victims of drunk driving accidents but also those who are charged with drunk driving. Troopers and local law enforcement officers involved in Tuesday's presentation believe that teens need more than a "don't drink and drive" approach and will walk away with something if they actually see and hear what the consequences of your choices are.

Anything Goes!
Note: Spaghetti dinner for Saturday has been cancelled!
The Spring School Musical is up and coming! Starting Today, April 19, the performances begin. Anything Goes is based in the 1930's and is a comical production that students and teachers at Kenston say is a "must see." Dylan Johnson and Shelby Berger are said to make quite the pair by making anybody laugh and are starring in the performance. "Every year the school plays are always amazing! I hope this year is just as good and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us!" said Rebecca Cardaman.
Kenston Goes to France
Over spring break, Kenston's own Madame Bush and eleven of her French students took a ten day trip to France. Each student had the opportunity to enjoy a five day stay with a local French family in Rennes, a city in the Northwest corner of France. They went to school everyday with their host family's high school aged children, getting to truly experience life in a foreign country. In Rennes, they also visited Mont Saint-Michael, an island off the coast of Brittany in Northern France.

Art Teacher / Marathon Runner Mrs. Bibza Heads to Boston!
Mrs. Bibza will be competing in the Boston Marathon this coming Monday. The first Boston Marathon took place in 1897 with only 18 runners. Last year's turnout was 26,895 and the number of runners can only be expected to increase for Monday's event. She began running junior year of high school and has been training on her own for years ever since. When asking her if she was nervous, Mrs. Bibza said, "Yes; this is a huge one. It's pretty important." Practicing for the race has been quite the strategy; Mrs. Bibza has been challenging herself with long-distance runs, speed work on the track, and downhill workouts, which should prove very beneficial for this particular race. She qualified for the Boston Marathon with her time from April, with a 3.33 when the qualifying time is a 3.40. The age group 18-34 is the largest, making Mrs. Bibza's race very intense. Congratulations and good luck to Mrs. Bibza!
