Home. Be Grateful, Not Hateful. By Lilly Toerner, Staff Writer and Marketing Manager and Contributing Writer Alex Diersing​November 5, 2. As the name denotes, Thanksgiving is a holiday dedicated to the focus of being thankful. This time of year gives us that warm, fuzzy feeling where we can reflect on the things we are fortunate enough to have.

I'm thankful for caring and compassionate colleagues and a job I love.”In life, there are so many things people don’t truly think about.

Often times, we find ourselves missing out on life’s potential as a result. People take the little things in life for granted. So often, we wait for a big payoff that never comes - or comes too late. As we wait, life happens, and we miss the everyday goodness that really matters,” said English teacher Mrs. Emily Hamblin. One student shares their thoughts on the realization of how tomorrow is never promised for anyone.

By Camryn Di. Angelo and Contributing Writer Sophia Smiley.

November 5, 2. 01. Dealing with sweaty, complaining student athletes all day might seem like a hard job; that’s why RHS makes sure to hire the best athletic trainers for the position. As fall sports come to an end, the newest member of the Athletic Department is starting to settle in nicely at RHS. The new athletic trainer, Khari Curry, is excited and ready for what is to come.“It keeps me busy. I like the kids. I like the coaches.

I like the staff here. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s awesome so far,” said Curry. While some students are used to seeing Khari every day for sport related injuries, others aren’t fully aware of the importance of an Athletic Trainer. School trainers help to ice sore injuries, rub out painful knots, and make sure if it’ safe for a player to participate in the game.

Athletic Trainers get us through tough practices, and after hard games. They really know how to put us back together on a rough day,” said senior girls soccer player Madison Foster.“Athletic Trainers are important to the players because they are the first ones you can go to see if you think something is wrong. They can tell you how serious it is and what needs to be done. They understand how anxious kids are to play, but they also want them to be safe before letting them,” said senior baseball player Andrew Beebe. Being an athletic trainer isn’t just helping to ice and tape up. Athletic trainers have to go through schooling so they understand how to address each player’s injury. First, they have to have a degree in athletic training, which there aren’t a lot of colleges around here that do,” said Micky Geier, RHS Athletic Director.

Aside from getting a degree in athletic training, sometimes the best advice can come from the athletes themselves.“[My advice would be] I would get to know the players pretty well when dealing with their injuries.” said Beebe.“Know the player’s pain tolerance. What might hurt one player really bad might feel like a pinch to another,” said senior girls soccer player Sydnie Guenther.

So for those who have yet to meet Khari, stop by the trainer's room after school to tape up and get to know him after school!

High school is the turning point for most students.” said Miller. There were many events throughout the week showing students the truth of what alcohol and drugs can do and the toll it has on surrounding people. Out of the 5 teachers who told their side of substance abuse, Mrs.
