![Standing at the top of the hill, alumnus James Forsen smiles for the camera. Forsen has not been treating COVID-19 patients, but it is likely that more health professionals will be needed on the front lines. “I think everybody is stepping up to their roles. I cannot say I have been on the front lines, so this week, I may be and probably will be,” Forsen said. “So far, I haven’t spent time in the emergency room, and I have not spent time in the ICUs. That’ll probably change this week [because] I think everybody realizes there is a risk to it.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/drforsen-900x675.jpg)
![As she looks over a student's shoulder, alumna Alexis Franklin hosts a Meet and Greet event at Tower Grove Park to introduce prospective parents to the Sudbury education model. Franklin opened up the school last August and began enrolling students. “We have a really supportive group of parents who jump at every opportunity to help me out,” Franklin said. “They’re really trying to talk to their friends and try to get new kids involved. [They’re] really supportive and positive.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sudbury2-900x596.jpg)
![Junior Ayah Maali meditates as she tries to calm her mind. This is the first year Yoga for Fitness and Wellbeing is being offered at the school. “I learned more of how to be calm and how to relax and take your mind off stressful situations in life,” Maali said. “I [also] learned the term 'tadasana,' and it means to be relaxed and meditated. You just sit down, cross [your legs] and your mind is off; you’re not thinking about any stressful homework or anything related to that.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC_0002-900x598.jpg)
![The scoreboard was built after Parkway set up a deal to pay for it through advertising. This occured when Parkway was under the Kelly Sports Properties contract. “The district has posted a sports media position and we’re in the process of interviewing and hiring someone so that person will [be able to] take over some of the duties that Kelly has been performing,” Athletic Director Brian Kessler said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC_0034-900x600.jpg)
![Molding the clay, junior Ledaniel Jackson works on building the base of his ceramic cactus. After the class completed their donuts project, they began creating cactuses for the coil building unit. “I think the best part about the class is having the freedom to create [ceramics] on our own,” Jackson said. “It makes the class really fun.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/DSC_0040-1-900x600.jpg)
![Lined up outside of the theatre on the first Friday of Ramadan, junior Mohammed Kuziez and freshmen Waleed Abdulla and Areeb Hasan get together to pray “Jummah” (Friday prayers). Muslims are also obligated to pray five times a day, as “salah” (prayer) is one of the five pillars of Islam. “I like to think that I hold my religion very close to me; it's something that I was brought up on for the past 17 years,” Kuziez said. “It's one of the things that our religion holds the closest, and [prayer is] a basic [element] of it.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/edited-900x600.jpg)
![Business teacher Laura Glenn helps junior Walker Piles with an assignment in class. Throughout her time of teaching, Glenn has taught Accounting, Web Design and Intro to Computer Science and Technology. “The thing I’ll miss the most is working with students and sharing knowledge with them,” Glenn said. “[It’s] really exciting to see how just a little bit of what I might’ve introduced them to here has turned into a career for them and something that they are excited about.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/DSC_0375-900x600.jpg)
![Adding the final touches to their documentary, juniors Sabrina Bohn and Emma Caplinger discuss how their interviews turned out. The junior were given six weeks to complete the project. “I’m really glad we did this project because I’m really interested in documentaries and film in general so this was a really cool opportunity and it introduces you to something that you wouldn’t think to be introduced to in English class and I think that it gives you different skill set that you [aren’t normally] given in school so I think it’s pretty cool,” Bohn said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/DSC_0084-900x600.jpg)
![Attending a meeting after school, sophomore Kunal Addagarla makes adjustments to their robot. Twisted Metal was not able to qualify for the 2019 Missouri State VEX Championship, but they will be newcomers at the CREATE US Open Robotics Championship displaying teams from across the U.S. and China. “I would say teamwork is very important because we have different roles to fulfill," Addagarla said. "I'm one of the programmers for my team and I want to make sure that my code works [so I have to] test the robot occasionally. [Then] the rest of my team is building or researching various ways we can build a better robot."](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/brother-900x600.jpg)
![Senior Matthew Boyd test other scholar members for practice. Scholar bowl members practice every Monday after school in sponsor Patrick Troy’s room. “I think it can be intimidating for [underclassmen] to come to practice and see that the juniors and seniors know a lot of information, but I think [they] should still be doing it because it’s fun and you get to learn a lot.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/9D2AD8E7-D0C0-43D7-A588-BA519A1A02F3-900x597.jpeg)
![The teams celebrates after scoring against Saint Mary’s Nov. 30. Freshman and defender Nathan Meek (2) contributes with two assists in his debut win of 10-1. “I’m pretty sure height can be an intimidating factor, but you [have to] get over it and just play the game,” Meek said. “As long as you know you have teammates that are going to back you up and can help you, you have nothing to worry about.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_9519-900x600.jpg)
![Senior Scott Hardy makes adjustments to his robot. Prior to their confrontation at state, the team was meeting up after school everyday. “It’s a tad disappointing that we didn’t get first,” Hardy said. “But considering the degree to what that we worked with and considering we went as far in the first place, I’m actually proud of myself [and] the team, especially some people on there and really how much work we put into it.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/scott-hardy-900x720.jpg)
