Senior Project Showcase BY Bryan Phillips

Ms. Torres is the teacher who advises, approves and ulti-mately, grades the infamous Senior Projects. She suggests the best time to start prepping is in 10th grade, so that you can complete all 40 hours of volunteer work. This will prevent having to cram them all in your Senior Year, and stressing over your project because you started it so late. Also, if you wait until the last minute, you will not be able to shadow people in your career or interview people that can help you with your Senior Project. The qualities that will help you with your Senior Project are effective time management and also great organiza-tion. Public speaking will also be a big factor in your project because

you have to present in front of peers, and evaluating teachers, and you don’t want to slip up because you will lose points on your overall project grade.
A project that stood out to Ms. Torres was in her first year as advisor teacher where a student built a whole computer from in-side to the outside. He wanted to be a computer engineer. Another student made a stretching clinic for younger students because she wanted to be a Physical Therapist. These all took critical thinking and this is why the school wants you to do this project, so you can further research your future potential career field as you leave high school and also to apply critical thinking skills.

Here’s a look into a sampling of Senior Projects and plans...

Mrs. Nehlen, organizer of the First event of its kind here at Farrell Mid-dle School, commented, "The first annual Top 10 in Grade 8, was a huge success. The students were accompanied by a teacher who has made an impact on their lives. There were lots of congratulatory speech-es, conversations, and fun had by all. Each student received a special gift from their teacher along with a great meal and dessert. The motiva-tion for this celebration was simply to honor the students for their aca-demic achievements and pay tribute to the educators who have helped make these students so successful. It was nice to have a night out with these students and educators. This time really allowed us to celebrate the individuals that were a part of this event. The students were very appreciative of the dinner celebra-tion. They smiled, laughed, and gave many thanks to their educator and the other adults who attended. In my opinion, this is an event that these students will al-
ways remember and always be grateful for .

Senior Project Showcase continued from page 2 Architecture	Nursing BY DESTINY HONAKER

BY MYA COLEMAN

Do you like drawing and designing things? Well in that case you should take up studying architecture. Here is some information about architecture. Architects design structures like factories, shopping centers, houses, ofice buildings, and etc. At most times architects work in an ofice. Architects also have to meet with clients to draft plans, figure out the cost estimates, get permit applications, and help clients make agreements with contractors. Cloud- based technologies and 3D software pro-grams are some of the things that architects use. There are many different types of Architects, here are a few examples below.
A Residential architect is designing and building non-commercial living spaces and properties such as townhomes, apartment complexes, family homes, and many more. A Com-mercial architect prepares to design commercial buildings, ofic-es, hotels, hospitals, museums, and other non-residential prop-erties. A Landscape architect designs natural environments like public parks, gardens, college campuses, and etc. There are more architects to add to the list but these are just a few.
All states require certificates, registration, or a license for the practice of architecture. Those who want to receive an architec-ture degree have two options: either a five year undergraduate degree in architecture referred as B. Arch or a post college mas-ter’s program known as M. Arch. A career in architecture usually takes five to eight years of higher education, maybe even more just depending on which path one chooses.

SENIOR Issue 2022

After high school, I want to go into the nursing field. I plan on going to Clarion University. I'm thinking about going into the ASN in nursing to start off in training. It's a two year degree that provides the graduate with a foundation for further study at the baccalaureate level. The reason I chose this career is because I thought it would be a great experience be-cause I love to help people, and I feel the nursing field is something I would be good at. Growing up, I always enjoyed helping people. Also, nurses and doctors are needed everywhere, meaning you are not limited in where you choose to live. The nursing field is also very diverse. There are travel nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Medical Assistants, and Neonatal Nurses, to name a few.
Here are some different courses you can take: The certified nurs-ing assistant (CNA) takes up to 4-12 weeks to complete. A CNA is a non de-gree diploma offered at community colleges and vocational schools where you learn how to provide basic healthcare services and help patients with their daily activities. It's the fastest way to qualify for an entry level nursing position. Licensed Practical Nurse/ Licensed Vocational Nurse (LPN/ LVN) is a 12-18 month commitment. A LPN/ LVN is for students who want to enter the nursing field without the time and cost of earning a college degree. An Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) is two years. The ADN uses the minimum degree requirement for becoming a registered nurse that includes studying science related courses such as Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry, and Physiolo-gy. Then there's a bachelors of science in nursing (BSN) that takes up to 4 years. The BSN is a four year degree designed for RNs who want to pursue supervisory roles and qualify for higher paying jobs. The Master’s of Sci-ence in nursing is an additional two years post graduation. The last job target would be the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) that's 4 years post grad.

Suzanna O’Leary Number of years at FASD: 24

Position(s) held: Home Ec, HS Life Skills, K-1-2 Learning Support, Emotional Support
What will you miss the most: Seeing the kids learn.
Future plans:
Spending time with my husband, grand kids, great grandkids, and caring for my parents, taking care of my farm, and my dog business.
Comments:
I have enjoyed my time here at FASD. I have prob-ably learned more from these kids than I have in formal college. They have taught me a way of life I never knew existed. Until this is un-
derstood, it is dificult to actually teach so that they can learn. I have loved watching students “get it.” I love the “ah hah,” moments. I love teaching my former students’ children. They love that I know their parents.
I knew it was time to go when a former student came to me and said, “Guess what? I’m going to be a grandparent.” I knew then that it
was time to go and take care of my own.

Mavis Said

Number of years at FASD: 27 years
Position: Cook
What will you miss the most: I will miss everyone!
Plans: To enjoy retirement.

Gina Grande

Number of years at FASD: 20 years Position(s): Cafeteria Lunch Server (5 years), Cashier (15 years)
What will you miss the most / fond-est memory: I will miss my cowork-ers, supervisors, students and staff.
Future plans: Relaxing and spending more time with family and friends. Do a little traveling.
Anything else you would like to add: Farrell Area School students past and present, it has been a pleasure to watch you grow. I wish you all the best. I hope that you go on to
do great things.

Teacher Spotlight: Mrs. Armour

BY Zoee Mishata

Although many students haven't had the chance to be taught by Mrs. Armour, we have all grown to know and love her. Students know her for many reasons, whether it be as one of their teachers, or the Lead Teacher for their grade. Even if they didn't have the chance to have her, most students have only great things to say about her. These are some of the reasons that I decided she was the perfect fit for this issue's Teacher Spotlight.
Recently, I had the honor of interviewing Mrs. Armour on different aspects of her life, in and out of the school building. I learned a lot that many students may not know. To start off the interview, I asked what classes and courses she teaches, with this she answered with how she teaches learning support English for grades 7th-12th, and Learning Support Science for grades 9th-12th. Following this, I asked where she went to school after high school. She answered this by ex-plaining that she went to Slippery Rock University to earn her Bache-lors in Elementary Ed and Special Ed, she then followed this by saying she went to Saint Joseph's University for her Master’s in Special Ed. Much like many teachers, she didn't start off her career here, she was originally a substitute that worked at Greenville, Reynolds, Jamestown, and lastly here, before geting a spot as a full time teacher. What many students may not know is that she has been teaching her for almost 15 years.
To get a better idea of who she is outside of the school build-ing, I began to ask questions about her life outside of the building. This led me to find out that she had been married for fifteen years, to her husband Mike, and they then went on to have three kids. As a family, they own a concession trailer, that they take to multiple fairs, and sell French fries and lemonade, as well as working graduation parties. They are also a very involved family within their community, her kids play multiple sports, consisting of soccer, baseball, cross country, and track, which allows her to be a sports mom. When she's not doing any of these, she stated that she likes to make things with her Cricut, and be creative.
To see how she is as a teacher, I asked her if there were any techniques that she uses in the classroom to build a better relationship with her students. When asked this she stated that she likes to build strong relationships with the students, and ones where she can be

there for them if they need someone. An-other thing I wanted to know was ways that she's different from other teachers, and things she wished other teachers did more of. She gave a couple answers to this, one of which being that she
feels teachers need to listen to students, they need to listen to their needs and meet them where they are, not only as a student, but as a person. She also wanted to let students know some things that they take the wrong way, one of which being one that I found many stu-dents should realize. She wants her students to know that when she’s tough on them she's not being mean or rude, she's making them be who they want to be, and making sure that they are succeeding. She also wants her students to know that they need to be prepared for anything and that's adulting stuff, but it's something that everyone can get through as long as they try.
Since she has taught her for 15 years, she has had the oppor-tunity to do and change many things. She has helped with the plays and musicals, which she loved, due to the one on one interaction with the students. She also made an impact as the Lead Teacher so that it's not only focused on detention, but also on adding student rewards, such as the holiday party, end of the year events, and Honor Roll in-centives.
Mrs. Armour is one of the most loved, and known teachers. She also continues to inspire and encourage many with not only her ways of teaching, but also herself as a person. She is by far, one of the most favorite teachers serving in our district.

Cultural Dinner Cruise

The mural above, “Black Flowers,” by Camerin Nesbit, can be viewed along the Allegheny Riverfront. The artist explains that the work showcases “vibrant, color-ful portraits of local Black faces of excel-lence, greatness and inspiration, with additional elements from the natural world.” For more info, https://riverlifepgh.org/riverfront-guide/blackflowers/

Spanish and French students enjoy an evening French themed dinner cruise along the three rivers in Pitts-burgh (group photo above). Students enjoyed the riverfront sights and culture, French themed buffet, scaven-ger hunt and dance party. Tyree takes in the sights (above) and Keyonna poses (above, right).

Junior High Students pose with Scrappers mascot, enjoy-ing a final field trip of the year to the baseball game.
