“I have this theory that if one person
will go out of their way to show
compassion, then it will start a chain
reaction of the same.”
Rachel's Challenge took GMHS by storm on February 4 when the entire student
body as well the community had the opportunity to listen to Rachel Scott's
inspirational message of hope and her family's challenge to start a chain reaction
of kindness. Ending bullying is the program’s goal. Rachel was killed at her high
school in Columbine, Colorado during one of the most infamous school shooting
in the United States
“Thanks to all of the students, staff and
community partners for making this event an
enormous success,” said guidance
counselor and event organizer Karen
Talone. Staff and students can help support
this movement by embracing Rachel's
challenges everyday:

MR. THOMAS’ TIME
Groveport Madison
High School with
the dedication of
Mrs. Tolone
successfully hosted
Rachel’s
Challenge.
I can say without doubt that
it was one of the best days of my
career. We had two assemblies
with over 600 kids in each, who
performed extremely well. I was
fortunate enough to participate
with 100 students and 10 staff
members in leadership training
after the assembly, and I heard 15
students tell their stories. I was
moved by the courage, the
experiences, and the attentive
2
audience. I am proud and
privileged to work with so many
great kids and staff members.
From the dedication to
Mission Ensign to the newly
formed groups of kids ready to
make a difference and refusing to
be labeled as average, we have
developed a wonderful school
community. Rachel has
challenged us, and I am ready to
meet the
challenge,.

Winter Homecoming
by Amber Nunez
Predicted to be a blast, the Winter Homecoming Dance will focus on the sweetheart
theme. Organizers encourage everyone to bring their sweethearts or just go with
friends. "I absolutely loved going to Winter Formal last year. I went with a big group
of friends, and we all danced the whole night! " exclaimed senior Amy Castle. Others
agree that last year was a success and look forward to this year’s dance. The theme
last year was masquerade. Each year winter homecoming king and court are honored. Senior Trevor Seibel was
the 2012 King. "Last year's dance was a great success. Every year we've added more people to the fun. We
hope to see even more people this year.," said Mrs. DelGuzzo, social studies teacher
and Student Council advisor in charge of Winter Homecoming. Tickets are now on sale
for $10 in room 113 and during lunch periods in the cafeteria February 11-15. Want
to bring someone from another school? Guest forms are on the bulletin board. The
dance is Saturday, February 16 in the school gym from 7-10 p.m.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?
ANIME CLUB
by Thomas Workman
Hit television show Minute to Win It is coming to
the high school…..well, not exactly but a similar
competition really is. Based on contestants completing random challenges in less than 60 seconds,
the GMHS version is called “Classroom Olympics.”
Student Council wants students to be part of the
fun and to show their skills. So, how do students
get involved? Create a team of five, collect $10
then register the team. The exact date will be announced sometime in February. Questions should
be directed to seniors Amy Castle or Thomas
Workman.
FUN was goal of the following GMHS students at OHAYOCON:
Shirley Tang, Tewans Smiley, Stephanie Thomas, Kayla Kirk,
Stormy Bain, and Julie Bain.
OHAYOCON, an annual Anime convention,
was a hit with the members of GMHS Anime
Club. Seniors Thang Tran, Anthony Curry and
Billy Wetzel said what made it exciting was
hanging out with friends, but they also liked
seeing attendees in “cool costumes,” explained
Curry. The vendors sold everything from masks
to videos to props.

COMMIT TO COLLEGES

Dawuane Smoot committed to play
at the University of Illinois.
Ben Adkins committed to play at
the University of Findlay.
SPORTS
CRUISERS WRESTLING
In addition the Cruisers also have juniors Shakur
Laney and Malcolm Solack who are leading the
way. Laney is currently 24-4
and won two tournaments in
January; the Grandview Heights
Tournament as well as the Kevin Cleveland Memorial Tournament were hosted by Dublin
Scioto. “Shakur’s ability to learn
and improve seemingly every
day in practice is what is setting
him apart. He truly is a student
of the sport,” coach Niemann
said of his wrestler. As for the
possibility of Shakur qualifying for the state tournament, Coach Niemann exclaimed, “Most definitely.”
The Groveport Madison Wrestling Cruisers have
had a productive season. Over
the last four weeks, the Wrestling Cruisers took part in three
tournaments, participated in
league matches and even
wrestled in the inaugural State
Duals.
“Overall I think it was an exciting month for us,” coach Niemann recalled. “The
OCC (Ohio Capital Conference) is laden with
talent, and the OCC-Ohio has its share of strong
teams.” Overall, the Cruisers are 1-5 in OCC
competition this season and had a dual at Lancaster on February 7.
Solack has also done quite well for himself, recently placing third at Groveport’s Cruiser Invitational. “Having three wrestlers place at a tournament of that caliber says something about all
three wrestlers: Laney, third, Lovings, sixth, and
Solack,third. And for Malcolm to beat a returning
district qualifier the way he did, just shows he
can succeed, even as a sophomore,” said the
coach.
“We knew both Pickeringtons would be strong.
They have been at the top of the OCC-Ohio for
a number of years now,” coach Niemann said of
the conference. “But as for Gahanna, Grove
City, and Reynoldsburg, I thought we competed
well, but in the end were over-powered.”
Although the team lost those duals, Coach Niemann said he sensed a few positives from the
matches.
Looking ahead, the Cruisers traveled to Lancaster on February 7 to round up league action. After that, the grapplers will not compete until the
first leg of the state tournament process - the
sectional tournament - on February 16 at Pickerington North. Wrestlers finishing in the top four
at sectionals will continue on to the district tournament, wrestled at Hilliard Darby High School
on February 22 and 23. The top four of the district tournament qualify for the state tournament,
“Our senior night was a terrific environment for a
dual meet,” said the coach. Senior Night was
January 31 and was part of the OCC-Ohio dual
with Reynoldsburg. “Certainly a highlight for the
evening was the way our seniors wrestled. Joey
(Jewell) dominated his opponent, winning 9-0,
and Sam (Lovings) won in dramatic fashion,
holding on for the victory! The crowd was really
into the matches and even made it quite difficult
to communicate to our
wrestlers,
even though
they were
standing a
few feet
away.”

Senior: Amy Castle
Hobbies: Softball, Soccer, Spending time with loved ones
Favorite Subject: English
Quote: ‘Those who saw in tears will
reap with songs of joy.” Psalms
126:5
English teacher Blayne
Garsky has many passions, teaching being at
the top of the list. “I am so
honored to be teacher of
the month. I love watching
my students grow academically and socially...This is truly my dream job and my students
make it what it .I thank all of you for being you,
for taking chances, for stepping out of your
comfort zones, for challenging each other for
the daily row competitions, and for opening
your minds to a world of imagination found
within the pages of a novel, she said.”
Although this Capital University alumna
thought she would never teach high school,
she “never wants to leave!” She really appreciates having Mrs. Caporuscio as a co-teacher
and working with Mr. Altman.
Reading is another joy for this Pickerington North High School graduate. Her mother, her inspiration, started reading her The Unicorn Chronicles as a child. Then Mrs. Garsky
continued with the other books in the series as
well as the most recent installment in 2011.
These stories remind her of another of
Mrs. Garsky’s loves—showing horses. “I received my first horse when I was 19. I have
three horses now,” she said. “Riding competitions are a great way for schooling. It gives me
the opportunity to show others how my horses
are progressing in their training with me.”
The highlight of her work with her horses was getting a saddle on Perry. “To see
where he started off and where he is now is
just amazing. I love him with all my heart. He
loves to grab my zipper and zip it up and down
very quickly with his teeth. He also has
grabbed my hat with this teeth and taken it off
my head! I cannot even describe the connection and love I have with my horses. I would
not be the same person if I did not have them.”
Her love of animals extends to her Australian Shepherd named Nevada, a Chihuahua
named Toby, and a Himalayan cat named
Saphira.
Mrs. Garsky also shows her creativity
through her photography business, taking pictures of pets and senior portraits.

Art Teacher Micaela Patterson honestly practices
what she preaches to her students in Art 1, Drawing and
Painting 1 and 2.
Her hometown of Lorain, Ohio commissioned her
to work her high school students where she was teaching
to create a mural commemorating the town. “This mural
depicted all of the iconic images from our town into one
ginormous mural. I could sense the pride of the community
as they passed by and honked their horns at us in appreciation. My uncle just today posted a picture of it on Facebook and it still looks great,” said Mrs. Patterson.
With a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ohio University,
which is where she discovered her love of painting, it is not
surprising that the mural was a success. Her inspiration is
the Mexican muralists. “Their body of work is inspirational
because they used their artwork as a form of social activism; a catalyst for change. The Mexican Muralists served
as the voice of the people through the use of large scale
murals,” explained Mrs. Patterson.
This connection is also one of heritage. “I would
love to go to Mexico and see some of their works in person. I am Mexican American. My grandparents on both
sides of the family were all from Mexico,” said Mrs. Patterson.
Always on the outlook for exciting projects to bring
into the classroom. This mother of a seven-year-old
daughter learned about a new art process from fellow
GMHS teacher Susan Summers. “It’s a way to draw that
involved the use of patterns. Students of all artistic levels
can use this method and be successful! Thanks to Mrs.
Summers” said Mrs. Patterson.
Along with art teacher Helen Slater, who she enjoys working with and bounces ideas off of, Mrs. Patterson
has taken on an empty, unused hallway bulletin board and
turned it into a display for the winners of a monthly art contest. All the winning pieces will be shown at the upcoming
district art show in March as well as the Southeast Branch
of the Columbus Metropolitan Library art show in April.
This proves that Mrs. Patterson’s philosophy that “two
heads are better that one” is true.

LeaderSpark
by Amber Nunez
LeaderSpark Groveport Madison is a program designed to train leadership skills to GMHS students as well as promote community service.
In the fall, Team Evan, consisting of sophomores Lexi Lindic and Harris
Herzberg and freshman Amber Nunez, started off by learning how to
plan a group project and strategies to work with people effectively. The
group then looked at different organizations to pair up with to do a community service project. Team Evan selected
Nellie’s Catwalk 4 Kids, an organization that assists families who have children with pediatric cancer.
The group connected with a family who has a son diagnosed with terminal cancer. His name is Evan and is a triplet
who also has a sister. The team brainstormed ideas on how to raise money to help Evan’s family and decided to do a
"Penny Wars" at Middle Schools North and South. The second step was to set up a meeting with the principals and
counselors at the schools to talk about the project idea. After the team members received permission for the "Penny
Wars" and set up the dates to begin the project, they collected boxes, made handouts for the teachers and then went
to the school to make announcements about the project. They went back a week later to collect the loose change and
take the $528.18 to the bank for Evan’s family expenses, which greatly surpassed the goal of $400.
The team would like to thank Middle Schools South and North's students and staff and also others who donated to help
fulfill the goal. “We would also like to thank Nellie’s Catwalk 4 Kids for helping us find a family to sponsor. And lastly we
would like to thank the LeaderSpark program facilitators for helping us gain such a great experience and helping us
learn to be leaders,” said the team members.

Smile by Olane Hardy
GOD’S TREE
Hope spreads its arms around the creatures of the land. Clutching Faith between its fingers. Wrestling with the
wicked weeds forcing its poison upon it.
But it does not lean. It does not weep. It
forgives. I loves. It flourishes.
-Cheyenne Turner
TIME DOCTOR
Long ago, in the future, and now
There is a man full of mystery leaving others in wow
He is a time walker, alien blocker, and history stalker
But he is mostly remembered as being a smooth talker
Smile if you are in a band
Smile when you're feeling cool
Smile when you're in school
Smile when you're chilling with your friends
Smile because the fun never ends
Smile wherever you are
Smile when you are riding in a car
Smile whenever you go
Smile when you are putting on a show
Smile every day
Smile every kind of way no matter what I say
Smile when you are talking Smile at a man
You know what?
Smile when you're happy
Just smile for no good reason
Smile when you're hair is
Smile because of the new season
nappy...
Well for whatever reason you choose
You cant lose
And I just hope that reason really gives you a
smile that lasts a very long while
Smile when you're feeling great
Smile when you’re on a date
Smile when you're glad
Smile when you're feeling sad
Smile when you're having fun
Smile when you run
Smile when you're acting crazy
Smile when you're feeling lazy
Smile when you're being nice
Smile when you're eating rice
Smile when you're walking
He travels through time and space in a blue box
Thinking and thinking as time ticks and tocks
The outside of the box may be small, but the inside is grand
In fact, it’s so big you may need to give him a hand
Falling
He’s a doctor of time, a history healer
Not to mention he’s the best situation dealer
There is always an adventure with him, no day is a bore
And you should see him dance, he’s amazing on the dance floor
I flow where the wind takes me
I close my eyes and soar
I keep on falling . . .
No parachutes for me
He loves company, a companion by his side
Though their first time travel is never a smooth ride
He is known by many people of almost every place
Even if he always doesn't have the same face
I fall free
Where I land is where I want to be
I keep on falling . . .
So high
don’t matter where
Who could have guessed that just one man could leave such a mark
as long as the air will take me there
Spending his life fighting the creatures of the dark
He has lives eleven lives and they all were a blast
Spend time with him and it’ll go by fast
From the past, the future, to even another planet
Flying in his blue box that only a few can man it
He goes place to place fixing all that went wrong
To everyone who met him, the impact was life long
If you ever meet this man, this madman with a box
Try to understand his logic, break you mind’s locks
For this man can do things you never thought true
If only you knew his know, Doctor Who?
-Clay Engle
I’ll keep on falling.

Hope makes everything seem okay
Tears fall down your face
Hope whips them away
You can’t sleep at night
Hope gives you a pillow to hold tight

Social Networking Connects Students
After School Networking brings students of all abilities together for fun and social interaction. “The group gives people the opportunity to expand their circle
of friends to others that they otherwise would probably not get to know,” explained teacher and organizer Ashley Fenner. Participating students agree. “I feel
its going great and we’re really starting to get to know each other,” said Tyler
Lewis.
Students meet every two weeks to enjoy an array of activities, including parties,
competitions, and sports activities. For example, during the Christmas party, not
only were there plenty of treats but they had a gingerbread house making contest. The group usually tries to do activities related to their next activity. Before
attending a GMHS basketball game, the students played basketball jeopardy to brush up on the rules of the game. Recently, they also
went bowling.
Senior Cassidy Tigner really loves networking: “I love school networking. It’s always so much fun. We always play tons of games
and sometimes we even do activities outside of school. This program was made so that special needs students can interact with the
regular students more. I love the fact that this program was made by a fellow student, Tyler Lewis. Anyone can join after school
networking , so come have fun with us!”
Another senior, Katie Fellure, also finds the organization rewarding: “After school networking is so much fun! I get to meet new
people and learn many new things. We do things not only in school but after school too. It’s a good way to learn how to be interactive with everyone.”
Any student interested in joining should see Mrs. Fenner in room 118.
