Hello, my name is Benjamin smith and I enjoy writing stories. I like collecting the stories and writing about the things I have just collected. I am excited to see how this year will go due to COVID and I am excited because this is my first year in CV student media. One interesting thing about me is I love to play basketball.

Team captains Sophomore Avery Phillips and senior Grace Coyne taking team pictures before the football season. The team captains gained responsibilities to lead the team everyday when they accepted the role and since have done a great job. “I put in work to help create team bondings and get us engaged in community service. Being a captain is also a lot of work just because I want to set a certain expectation for the team and be a good role model,” Coyne said.

New Year’s resolutions are a big part of the new year and people all around make new plans to have a more successful year than the previous year. “My resolution was to workout more and to get some more muscle. I am starting to go to the gym five times a week and it is going really well. I am doing a lot of lifting and actually starting to see some results. This was a really good goal for me and I am really happy with how it is going so far,” Sophomore Jack Beckett said.

Is there anything that you have bought online? Jack Beckett, 10', purchases many different things online and this is a pair of Air Forces that he bought. Beckett prefers online shopping over in person because of the convenience it comes with. “Usually online I shop for clothes & shoes. There’s not a lot of stuff you can’t order online these days so I guess it’s just your preference whether or not you’d want to buy it in person,” Beckett said.
