Lancia, as part of his English 1 class, reenacted a scene from “Romeo and Juliet” to better understand the story. “It showed me how people fought very long ago,” Lancia said. “[My favorite part of the unit] is probably all the activities we do.

Students were encouraged to invite family, friends and teachers to watch. “Signing days are cute, and I never committed to a sport, so I never really thought I would have the opportunity. I’m excited that I [got] to be a part of a signing day for education. On signing night, it was wholesome to see everyone’s future plans and invite my family and teachers.

Oh my gosh, noooo! I had no idea he was leaving West! I guess with me as a senior, him and I both will be entering new chapters in our lives. I will always appreciate, Coach Bethany. He’s an amazing coach, and I know he will be amazing in whatever he takes on next. We’ll miss you, Coach!
