![On Oct. 30, 24 Eco Club members took a tour of the school’s solar panels on the roof. They were guided and taught by an employee from E Light Electric, the company that maintains the school’s solar panels, and learned about how the panels are maintained and cared for. “I was definitely very excited about being on the roof in general,” Eco Club member Olivia Fang ‘26 said. “[It was exciting to] learn more about solar panels and how they work and how they supply energy to our school.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/RCH_2632-1200x800.jpg)
![Ice and snow make it difficult for drivers on the road. During snowstorms, drivers have poor visibility, and frozen roads make it difficult to stay in control. “Driving home from Denver [on Friday], the neighborhoods weren’t plowed. By the time we got back they were only plowing highways. We spun out, nearly got stuck and fishtailed a few different times,” Connor Pugh ‘26 said.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Untitled_Artwork-e1732045465987.jpg)

During Senior Night, seniors were given flowers and the opportunity to walk out and take pictures with their family as their future plans and favorite memories were announced over the speakers. The Jags tied 0-0, losing the Continental League Championship. “We were obviously the stronger team but just couldn’t find a way to score, but otherwise our connection and our intensity was really high so I’m proud of that. We just have to find the net,” defense midfielder Clara Geuzaine ‘24 said. “[Losing League] wasn’t the best. It’s better than last year and like, I know our team and we are doing really good. I don’t want to jinx it but like hopefully [we’ll do] good [in playoffs].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Copy-of-DSC_4277-1-1200x868.jpg)

With Wish Week starting up, each day offers different restaurants that have partnered with Student Council to contribute a share of their funds towards the cause.
Today, March 2, the restaurants are Jimmy John’s and Paradise Tavern. Tomorrow, March 3, the restaurants are Ziggi’s Coffee, Chipotle and Paradise Tavern.
My picks are Jimmy John’s for today and Ziggi’s Coffee for tomorrow.
Jimmy John’s
Jimmy John’s is a sandwich place where you can order a sandwich from the menu or customize your own sandwich from scratch. They serve chips and cookies of your choosing on the side.
By going to Jimmy John’s at Park Meadows this Saturday at any time and mentioning Rock Canyon, 20% of your money will go back to our Wish Kid.
My recommendations from the menu:
- #11 Country Club. For $8.65, get hand-sliced turkey breast, smoked ham and provolone cheese, topped with mayo, fresh-sliced lettuce and tomato in a sandwich. Who wouldn’t want a classic turkey sandwich with ham on top?
- #12 Beach Club. Made with delicious hand-sliced turkey breast, provolone cheese and avocado spread, this sandwich is sold for $8.65. This sandwich would be very tasty to eat after a great morning to keep your day going strong.
- Chicken Caesar wrap, sold for $9.75. This wrap would be a much-needed meal for lunch. After Walk for Wishes, you’re going to need something with protein and greens–this wrap is perfect. Made with all-natural chicken, shaved parmesan and creamy Caesar dressing and wrapped in a garlic-herb wrap, it is a mix between a sandwich and a salad.
Ziggi’s Coffee
Ziggi’s Coffee is a drive-through and dine-in coffee shop where you can order your coffee or energy drink and add certain customizations to it. Along with that, they have different snacks and treats you can have. On Sunday, March 2 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ziggi’s Coffee in Castle Pines, if you buy anything, 20% of the proceeds go to the Wish Kid.
My recommendations from the menu:
- 32-ounce iced Pumpkin Pie Latte. This $8.10 latte would be very filling and an excellent way to start your day.
- 32-ounce Colorado Sunshine. Sold for $4.80, the drink is an exceptional refresher and something good to sip on while you eat a burrito.
- Chorizo Burrito. This $5.85 burrito is one of my favorites with fluffy eggs, savory chorizo, cheese, potatoes and green chili wrapped up in a perfectly toasted flour tortilla. It’s very good for a nice morning meal and will get your day started on the right foot.
