Social Media Editor Picture this; you’re standing in the old gymnasium of the Red Lion High School. The room is decked out wall to wall like a winter wonderland, music from a DJ is pumping and students are dancing wildly in the middle of the floor. Fast forward to to the end of February and that is exactly what you will see. Contrary to popular belief, the next dance to look forward to this school year is not prom. On February 25, 2017, Red Lion Student Council will be hosting the first ever winter homecoming, or SnoCo, at the high school. By Brianna Lehr
Business Manager During the week of Nov. 14 to Nov. 18, Student Council is hosting a Cash for Cans event during school. This event is all about giving back to our community by using a competition between classes. Cash for Cans will be set up during the lunch shifts, and it allows students to put coins in their class can in order to gain points for their class cup. However, classes can put bills into another class’s can, to make that class lose points. The top three classes will be awarded class cup points and the winning class will win an incentive, such as a Sheetz coupon. “It boosts school spirit with the class competition aspect,” Colleen Dai said, who is a member of student council. At the end of this event, all the money goes towards the food bank. “It helps students give back to our community,” Colleen Dai said. By Shayla Scallorn

Sports Editor Fridays at Red Lion during the fall have always been filled with football and fanfare. Student sections are a big part of that given that they are the students cheering for their fellow students. However, some within the county have questioned how inclusive those sections actually are. While this may sound like something out of a bad movie, this might be an actual problem. This issue was talked about at Student Forum, which schools from three different counties attended. “There are two student representatives from each school in Franklin, Adams, and York county who go to those meetings,” Mrs. Dennish, head of Student Council, said. “At the meetings they talk about issues that are going on at school, and last year one of the issues was about school spirit and out of that came a conversation about all the different student sections.” By Zachary Rhine News and Feature Editor From lunches to schedules to bathrooms, students are always eager to voice their opinions on how Red Lion can do better. That is where RSVP and student council step in, not only to listen but also to act. RSVP occurs three times a school year during a day six academic prep period where student council representatives visit every homeroom and listen and take suggestions from the students on what they want to see changed in their school. “RSVP is based off student response, so we go wherever they lead us,” Mrs. Jane Dennish, student council adviser and Red Lion English teacher, said. “We may have some questions prepared, but typically it’s all based on student need.” The student council members report their findings back to Dennish, and then they as a group bring those issues up with Mr. Mark Shue, Red Lion High School principal. |
