Hi, my name is Gabby Schrock and I am a junior! This is my second year in the USJ and I am the assistant opinions editor. I love to write, but even more so, read. Outside of school, if I’m not reading, I am cheering. I’m a Cherry Creek Varsity Cheerleader and love to cheer for our school and its sports. I also love to be around my friends in and out of journalism and being around my family.

Students gathered in the Fine Arts Theater on Thursday night to watch Mr. Creek, a longtime Power Week tradition where male Creek students perform in a pageant-like competition. After battling against other candidates, senior Cooper Collins won the title of Mr. Creek in front of a sold out crowd. “It was very unexpected and kind of surreal. Any one of the candidates could’ve won Mr. Creek, and when they said my name I think I almost passed out,” Collins said. “I probably would’ve if the guys didn’t pick me up.”

By expanding the curriculum to teach more students about sexual assault, Koestner and admin are hoping to open up conversations about assault to help students feel heard. By addressing this issue, there will be a space for students to openly talk about it and receive resources from Koestner and school counselors starting this 2022-2023 school year.
