West Liberty-Salem SENIOR OF THE MONTH QUESTIONNAIRES
NAME: Evan Cook
SCHOOL: West Liberty-Salem
PARENTS: Dayla Thompson and Bert Cook
School Activities and Awards: I play football, I do Track and Field, and I do Musical and Show Choir. I have won the White Tiger Award, I was First team all OHC for football, and I was on the All Area football team. I was also in the OHC Fine Arts Festival for two years and won the most outstanding junior award in choir.
If I were principal for a day: I would give the Seniors a field trip to the park, so they can relax and just have fun for one day.
Favorite school memory: Elementary Track and Field day
People who have been an inspiration to me include: Paul Waibel
Because: He made me feel comfortable with my singing in choir, and he is the main reason why I even did Musical in the first place. He has inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and experience new things. Thanks homie.
Lately, I have been reading: Hamlet, because I have to for English class.
My advice to parents: Don’t be super strict, but don’t be super laid back either. Find a happy medium between the two.

Favorite school memory:
My favorite school memory is going to all the high school football games and cheering on the team with all my friends.
People who have been an inspiration to me include: My parents, sister, and my grandpa Fairchild.
Because: They have all shaped me into the person I am today. They have taught me how to be kind, respectful, and honest. They have all led by example of what being a hard worker and good person looks like. They inspire me to be a better person every day. I am extremely thankful to have them in my life and to have the chance to learn from them.
Lately, I have been reading: Hamlet, not by choice, but for my English class.
My advice to parents: My advice to parents would be to let kids make mistakes. You can’t protect kids from everything. Mistakes are necessary for kids to learn.

Seventh graders learn a sweet lesson! To review scale factors, 7th graders were tasked with creating scale drawings of their favorite candy bars or boxes. Each student completed their own enlarged drawing. Students in pre-algebra created a X3 scale of their chosen candy, while Math 7 did a X2 scale. The original size is show with the black paper background. This was a tasty project, indeed!
