Hi, My name is Mia Schultz and I am the Editorial Section Editor for North Pointe. I have been a member for two years now. I am a sophomore at North and I am in Interact Club. In my free time I enjoy driving around with my friend Gianna, baking and reading and I like watching hockey, baseball and football. I'm excited to see where this year takes me and excited that I took on a bigger role this year. I enjoy journalism and want to make a career out of it someday. I look forward to the 2023-24 North Pointe school year.

NEW HORIZONS| Gaining exposure to a variety of colleges can significantly impact students educational choices and future opportunities. South counselor Jennifer Vick underscores the importance of this exposure in broadening students’ future. “I think its great because you just get some face time and exposure to a lot of different schools,” Said Jennifer Vick. “I always feel like sometimes kids just dont have the chance to see schools. You see the big schools that are playing on TV, or if your parents or siblings go to a school, maybe you have been to a particular campus, but its kind of limited. There are so many different kinds of schools, and different sizes and different programs. I feel like thats kind of a nice entry point because its the first exposure a lot of kids have to different schools they have never heard of.”

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.”

T-SHIRTS AND CONNECTION| Special Education Teacher Rene Ciaramitaro passed out t-shirts to new KNOTS members during the breakfast. 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.”
