By: Juan Ledesma
Fall is a favorite season amongst many people. That is why I decided to use the
topic in my article. Some people call this fall season well, fall, while others call it
autumn. Autumn is derived from the Latin word "autumnus", which means “the
passing of the year.” “Fall” is simply derived from the action of the falling leaves.
Now, I had gathered some information and found my questions to be followed by
diverse answers. One of the two questions was “What are your three top fall
activities?” The second asked of the first thing that popped into your head when
you hear the words “Fall season.” Following are the graphs in which you could see
all of the different fall activities that people enjoy doing, so I’ll go ahead and leave
you to it!

game’s afoot”
By Courtney R. Moore
As I watched the plans being implemented, and the sets being painted, I knew that this
theater production was going to be extraordinary, even as the practices were a little chaotic and
fun. The only problem with the whole situation was, this British-based play coming in 2-3
weeks. But, as quoted from Sherlock Holmes: the game’s afoot, right?
“Sherlock Holmes and the First Baker Street Irregular” is about a gang of street urchins who
team up with the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. Watson to solve
crimes. 8th grade illuminates the acting scene with Maleeyah Daggett playing the role of
Wiggins, the main Baker Street irregular, while Ruby Mikulski plays the iconic detective
Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. John Watson, played by Niko Lawrence.
On the most recent of Mondays, I visited to see what the cast’s rehearsals were like: and it
started with getting all the set props that were needed for a scene, and always saying the iconic
line, focus is what? Essential! Then it was announcements and scenes; In addition to this, a
background of what to expect when you see this performance: there will be magnifying
glasses, bowler hat, and possibly a goose (I have no idea why).
׉	 7cassandra://mi7j63WHm4OJvw2VtQvTJxvAuyDvKMk_YjlCYs4rqXg"` a|pXJպ׉ErTo add more info about “Sherlock Holmes and the First Baker Street Irregular”, it consists of
several parts of stage crew: set design, props, tickets and publicity, sounds and lights, and
the heads, which are the stage managers (similar to junior directors). They’re essentially
the “arts and crafts” division of this play that make up the sets (settings), manage the sounds
and spotlights, and props in which the actors will use to make the scene become more
appealing. And fun fact: did you know that the character of Sherlock Holmes appeared in
1887, in a novelette called “A Study in Scarlet”?
In-any-case, the play will happen on November 12th, 2021 at 7pm; Currently, students are
able to see the play performances, but everyone is required to wear masks in the audience, and
on-stage, which is a very important aspect toward cast and crew members. Now, there will be a
follow-up to this article, for the aftermath and thoughts about the play overall (so expect to see
that in the near future!) And to end off with a mysterious quote: “To a great mind, nothing
is little.” - Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet

By Courtney R. Moore
Sometimes, when ordinary people think back on memories or are reminded of the past, it could have a
positive effect on them. For today’s edition of “Parker Interviews”, the readers reading this right now
could possibly know a little more about two seventh grade teachers, (which is a blast from the past for
most current eighth grade students now). Who are these two teachers, you might ask; The two teachers are
the 7th-grade superteam of Mrs. Tehako and Ms. O’Dwyer.
The Questions
CM: To start off on some sort of a silly note, this is a question for Mrs. Tehako. Mrs. Tehako,
do you still keep the big, yellow pencil? And to follow-up, do you still have the pencil in which
the now 8th grade Humanities class signed?
Mrs. Tehako: I have it hanging up from the ceiling, but I should take it down so other people can sign it;
But it’s still here.
CM: Ms. O’Dwyer, how do you feel about teaching history in the classes that you teach? Because
there’s so much, do you still want to introduce it to the students or?
Ms. O’Dwyer: I guess I can start by saying that when we have a unit to teach, the question is in fact, “where
do we start?” We have to cover the content that’s important to the topic, and it’s a struggle. Because events do
not just happen in isolation, there is always a cause and effect, and there’s so many stories, and so many
perspectives to learn as well. The most important thing is that multiple perspectives are being shared and we
focus on inquiry skills so students know how to do research on their own and can learn how to source properly.
׉	 7cassandra://89nlYWP9gyHUvnxLl0Q8rWTuCo9OHavblRXzTIh-P10 [` a|pXJպ׉E
(CM: This is a question for the both of you, how do you feel about your classes so far? Was the
most recent first quarter experimental into how the pandemic and such is handled in schools?
Mrs. Tehako: Yes, but to be honest, I was a little nervous to have everyone back in school; But as it turns out,
it’s been good. Also, if everyone keeps their masks up and has the realization that my windows will be open to
have air flow going, then it’s good. I’m comfortable so far.
Ms. O’Dwyer: Let’s just say that we moved at the same pace as we did last year, in virtual learning because
we’re still in a new situation of coming back to school. So, because of many students coming back to school who
haven’t been in person in a while, the pace is slower so that everyone can get back into a rhythm of learning
and do some community building.
CM: How do the both of you handle humanities with the every-day school schedule? Like, how
do you keep that mindset to switch out different curriculums for all students’ learning?
Ms. O’Dwyer: It is a little difficult this year, just because it’s not exactly the same as it has been in the past.
However, we are still moving forward at a pretty rapid pace, after a slower beginning and I think we’re
making the best of the situation with the pandemic. We are still doing projects and it’s still going to be a
rigorous experience for the Humanities students. I have 5 different classes this year: 7th Gr. SS, 7th Gr. Adv
SS, 7th Gr. & 8th Gr. Humanities and SEL, For me, it is the prep work that I do that makes all the
difference, and I have that down pretty solid.
Mrs. Tehako: I’ve gotten in the flow that the first period of my day is Humanities, and the rest of my classes
are MyPerspectives. So, in the mornings, I put on my Humanities hat, and by the end of the day I have my
ELA hat on.
CM: For Ms. O’Dwyer, how do you balance managing on a farm and being a teacher here at
Parker?
Ms. O’Dwyer: Somehow I’m able to pull it all off. I am struggling a bit with my schedule now, but when
it was virtual, I was able to be more flexible and organized. Even though the winter will be much more of a
challenge. My home/farm environment makes me very relaxed, even though it’s sorta stressful with getting
up an hour earlier and physical chores; but putting on my two different hats is worth it because I love my
animals. Honestly, I need to give a shout out to ALL the teachers who have children at home, because they
are rock stars for being able to manage their little humans and teach. Goats, chickens, dogs, and cats are

Mrs. Tehako: I had a really great ELA middle school teacher, and middle school was my awkward time;
She made me feel very comfortable and definitely made me love reading. I decided that I wanted to be that
to someone else.
CM: Do you remember her name by chance?
Mrs. Tehako: I don’t remember her first name, but it was Mrs. O’Shea because she got married in the
middle of the year.
CM: To compare both the 7th grade and 8th grade Humanities classes, which one is sillier?
Mrs. Tehako: That’s a tough one, sillier: the 7th grade Humanities class now, but last year’s was more
creative.
Ms. O’Dwyer: I’m going to say the 8th grade class is more serious, but they’re still SO fun, enjoyable and so
witty. We had a snowball quiz in the 8th grade class the other day, and that was the silliest I have seen
them! It reminds me that you all are still kids and still like to be silly. The 7th graders this year even as they
are scholarly, they have the capacity to be REALLY silly, actually at the drop of a hat! The key is to be able to
transition between silly and serious so we can have the best of both!
CM: What is your prediction for the rest of the 2021-2022 school year?
Mrs. Tehako: Another question to think about, but I think that the winter is going to get the kids a little
antsy because they can’t get their energy out outside. But I am excited to see how everyone grows throughout
the year, because middle schoolers change so much from beginning to end. I’m excited to see that.
Ms. O’Dwyer: I am hoping that sometime that the pandemic will ease up so that we can feel a little back to
normal, there’s still going to be a lot of learning and development skills.
To finish off this piece of “Parker Interviews”, I hope you, the reader, enjoyed it as much as I had an
insight on creating it. We learn the key things through teachers, and we also sometimes recollect on it,
which can be both beneficial and give us a better outlook on life. Take a visit to Mrs. Tehako and Ms.
O’Dwyer in rooms 12 & 13; And quoted by unknown, “The influence of a good teacher can never
be erased.”
