Healthy diets Seniors live it up with Growing benefit teens with God little kid backpacks
Kooper Killmon (’26)
“He will cover you with his feathers, under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” - Psalm 91:4 Being under a blanket is comforting to many people. It shields Christians from the outside danger and keeps everyone cozy and feeling warm. God shields humankind in a very similar way; he wraps his everlasting wings around all, and embraces believers with his grace. Sometimes Christians forget that they have the blanket of God's grace. They get caught up in the troubles and worries of this world. They feel exposed and vunerable and even alone. People need the reminder that they can find safety underneath God's wings because he guards many from all evil. He is the world’s Savior and will always protect believers no matter what danger may come in people’s paths. The devil, the world, and the sinful nature are after everyone; but being under the wings of God brings all protection from each one of those things.
Prayer: Dear Lord, you are the ultimate blanket that protects me from all danger. When I feel scared and alone, wrap your wings of comfort around me. Speak your truth into me that I remember you will never leave me in times of trouble. Amen.

eniors chose their backpacks this year with childhood designs that make them and more importantly, their inner child proud to walk down the halls in style. In an annual trend, high school seniors across the country have been buying fun, cartoon style backpacks instead of their old plain ones. In their last year of high school and school in general for some, teens have been finding a way to hold onto their childhood memories for just a little bit longer. Some seniors at Lakeside were unique with their choice
Kaelynn matches every day with Clara Grow wearing their matching backpacks with Disney princesses that light-up. Ellie DiGiovanni has a backpack with her favorite Marvel superhero on it: Spiderman. “I like how it’s not just a plain and boring backpack, but it has a character!” she exclaimed. Before entering the real world, Ellie chose to embrace the nostalgia of being a kid again and went for classic Spiderman. All this serves as a reminder that even seniors have an inner child in them. It is amazing to see it come out before a momentous point of their life.
of backpacks this year. Elena Loest claims this backpack tradition should be passed down from senior class to senior class as a way of keeping their childhood favorites close to them. She picked Toy Story this year because it was one of her all time favorites from when she was little. One of Kaelynn Gulcynski’s goals is bringing joy to the hallway through her backpack.

Ms. Muir shares her fitness experiences Jayden Rabehl (26’)
Emily Muir was once a CrossFit finalist, but now she is a biology teacher coaching sports and helping to encourage young athletes. Mrs. Muir has done sports such as gymnastics, swimming, volleyball, basketball, soccer, track and field, cross country, as well as dance classes since she was young. She was always very competitive, and sports gave her a healthy way to show her competitiveness inside of her. Because of her competitive spirit, Muir started caring about her overall fitness when she realized it gave her an edge on the competition. In her Sophomore year of
What’s Inside?...
college, Muir had plantar fasciitis and she also wanted to find a way to strengthen herself for college sports, so she joined a gym called ‘CrossFit 1936’ in Watertown. There she was introduced to CrossFit, and has been doing it for 8 years since. Muir says the hardest part about CrossFit was being consistent. It was easy to show up and work hard once, but continuously doing it was hard and boring work. Eventually, the hard work paid off when she became a finalist. For her, it took about a year and a half of nutrition and coaching, constantly coming
in and out of the gym, and a healthy sleep schedule helped to get her where she was. Now, Muir helps coach varsity girls soccer and assists coaching cross country. She enjoys seeing her students athletic highlights, but she also enjoys seeing them grow into adults and see them make forever memories. Some advice she would give students, whether they are doing crossfit or any other sport, is to work hard. Being strong and working hard both mentally and physically will help anyone win not just games, but also win a healthy lifestyle that supports and nourishes the body.

Food and healthy meals are some of the many things teens put aside as they get more busy with school, extracurriculars, jobs, etc... Since sleeping is a big issue for many students, teenagers turn to energy drinks to get some caffeine in for the day. However, these drinks have very high amounts of sugar and caffeine, which are awful for the body. Not to mention that most teens don’t even eat anything in the morning. Eating something like an apple or some eggs in the morning with water or milk is ten times better than a can of Monster Energy or coffee. Many teens also have problems with their calorie intake. Many students don’t take the right amount of calories they should in a day. They will mainly take things that are easy to pack for lunches, but those are usually prepackaged snacks that don’t help teens get their nutrients in for the day. A quick Google search will show that teens need 1600 2400 calories a day. Many busy teens undershoot these numbers, causing low energy levels, and lack of nutrition, while some teens overshoot these numbers causing weight gain. Athletes also need to pay special attention to what they eat so it will improve their performance. But, just like mentioned previously, they too will go for bad foods that don’t suit their needs. Before a game/practice a teen should take something with high carbohydrates to help with energy. After a game, they should get a lot of protein in so it can repair their muscles.
