![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)

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)

Wish Week Preparations

Wish Week Preparations
In a walk around the hallways, you’d be met with the image of STUCO students frantically stapling posters and hanging decorations. Strangers to Rock Canyon might be clueless as to what was going on or what Wish Week even is.
Is it a week where struggling seniors beg their teachers to raise their 69.97 to a 70 so that their Wish to graduate comes true? Is it a week where teachers’ Wishes for certain students to “disappear” come true? No, it’s not even remotely close to any of those, despite how much some students and teachers want those weeks to exist.
Wish Week is a week where the whole school comes together to make the wishes of kids with life-threatening conditions come true. Whether it’s attending a Disney Cruise, meeting a celebrity, going on a shopping spree, or experiencing a trip to somewhere they’ve always wanted to go, these wishes are what the school dedicates a week for. This is a week where the school raises as much money as possible to grant these very wishes.
In preparation for Wish Week, STUCO students and staff spent the night of Feb. 24 hanging banners, signs, lights, and various decorations.
“It’s like organized chaos… It’s so much fun just getting to be behind the scenes and work on all the different aspects like the hallways and the posters and the assemblies,” Reagan Oates 21’ said.
