TIED TOGETHER| Since her freshman year, Senior Katherine Listman has been involved with KNOTS. Listman enjoys the KNOTS breakfast every year but this year was different. “It was the first breakfast in a long time where we were able to see our KNOTS without masks, and where we had that great of a turnout of new members,” Listman said.

GOOD VIBES EVERYWHERE| School psychologist Christine Kuhl is no stranger to KNOTS. Having coordinated KNOTS for ten years, Kuhl has been through it all. “The breakfast is always my favorite activity, because its really good vibes [and] everyone is happy to be there,” Kuhl said.

BREAKFAST OF LAUGHS| Assistant Principal Katy Vernier stopped by the KNOTS breakfast in the cafeteria. Vernier believes KNOTS, especially through events such as the breakfast, allows students to make once-in-a-lifetime connections. “I always love it when it gets really loud in there, because the kids are all talking or interacting with each other or laughing. You hear laughter all over the place,” Vernier said.

BACK TO NORMAL| Along with Christine Kuhl and Kelly Osborne, special education teacher Sheila Doss co-chairs and organizes KNOTS. The pandemic affected the club’s numbers greatly, and Doss notes the attendance has finally reached pre-pandemic norms. “We’re back to where we were before the pandemic,” Doss said. “Which is kind of a milestone for everybody.”

Ciaramitaro appreciates the connection the KNOTS breakfast creates between students. “I loved seeing all of the students interact with one another,” Ciaramitaro said. “My students were really excited and enjoyed themselves.”
