Hello, my name is Jack Gianetto and I am so happy and proud to be a part of this program. This will be my third year taking part in the newspaper and I am a senior this year. I can't tell you how excited I am to not only help write in the physical copy of the newspaper, but to put videos, podcasts, and other media up on the website. Besides newspapers I am also part of RCTV and drama club and while outside of school I have been focusing on working at Discount Tire and continuing my passion in film.

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)

Booing has been a long-standing tradition during assemblies, but talks of shifting it to cheering have recently circulated the school. "[Freshmen are] expecting to come in with everyone supporting them and us booing them makes them upset and sad," Daksha Gopalakrishnan ‘25 said. "I think it has a negative effect on them, they won’t be able to feel welcome or anything like that."](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DSC_5940-1200x800.jpg)
