    Over the summer many changes came about at Lyons Jr. Sr. high school. Some of the biggest changes are all the new faces within the faculty.
    Mr. Suffoletto, an English 10 teacher, came to join us fresh from SUNY Geneseo College. He was inspired as early on as 10
    th
    grade in high school by Mr. Gary
    Hayden (an old teacher), his father and also God, to become an educator. His passion to educate children, with hopes of saving them from hopelessness, brought him
    here to us. By looking up to both Mr. Ford and Mr. Decook, Mr. Suffoletto plans to be a teacher whom many students can look up to as well. He is a rather easygoing
    educator, but abides by, and sticks to, the rules of our school system. Mr. Suffoletto has confidence in our system of education and knows that all within it will prosper.
    He has always wanted to become an English teacher, and plans on pursuing this throughout his lifetime.
    Ms. Weinberg, both an English and resource room teacher here at Lyons, also came to join the staff this year. She taught in Honeoye Falls­Lima before joining
    us here, but was originally inspired to teach by many of her elementary school teachers. Her goals are to help students feel good about themselves and teach them in the
    process. She always enjoyed the subjects of reading and English as a child and loved going to school. Today she is inspired by our band teacher, Mrs. Clark, and looks
    up to her for being so supportive. Ms. Weinberg plans on teaching and helping kids for yearse to come.
    Ms. Richards, an English10 AIS teacher came here inspired to educate students and with the hopes of teaching them to read better. Prior to being here at Lyons,
    she taught at St. Michael s. She enjoys teaching and plans on doing this for a while to come. Ms.Richards originally wanted to become a math teacher, but got sidetracked
    by her love for reading. She wants students to be comfortable with her and also support her with teaching here. She looks up to many of the teachers and plans on
    following the rules already set, just as anyone would do.
    Introducing Ms. Arelline, a new addition
    to our school s guidance and counseling staff. Ms.
    Arelline works with students in grades 7,8, and 9.
    When Ms.Arelline was in high school, she
    wound up having a very
    ineffective
    Guidance
    Counselor, which made her think she could do
    things in a different manor if she had the opportu­
    nity to become a School Guidance Counselor. In
    College, Ms. Arelline began to work very closely
    with an excellent Career Counselor (sort of like a
    college Guidance Counselor) who further inspired
    Ms. Arelline to work hard to become a good School
    Counselor. The experience of getting to see the
    good
    and the
    not­so­good
    in a School Coun­
    selor is what really propelled Ms. Arelline to be­
    come an educator that truly works hard to help
    students. Ms. Arelline also credits numerous people
    in her life who have inspired her and who are dedi­
    cated to helping kids.
    Prior to Lyons, Ms.Arelline was working
    on her Master s Degree in School Counseling at
    the University of Rochester. She had also been a
    School Counselor at Monroe #1 BOCES Alterna­
    tive Education Program for about a year and a half.
    While at the Alternative School, she was working
    with students that had been removed from their
    own schools for academic and/or behavioral
    problems, as well as, students working towards
    receiving a GED. In addition to that, she worked
    with young ladies who had a baby or were preg­
    nant while in school and even tutored some high
    school girls that had extended maternity absents
    from school.
    Ms.Arelline s favorite subjects in school
    were Photography and French, but she could not
    teach them due to her high desire to be a School
    Counselor. Ms.Arelline does admit that some parts
    in school were harder than others, even though
    she did enjoy school when she was a kid.
    Now that Ms.Arelline has graced our
    school with her presence, she plans on being a
    School/Guidance Counselor until she is
    too old
    to drive
    herself to work. There is a possibility
    she ll be around longer than that, but we will
    just have to wait and see. Since Ms.Arelline is a
    newcomer to our school, she is not too sure yet
    who inspires her to become a better educator.
    Ms.Arelline did find there to be A LOT of amaz­
    ing teachers in Lyons.
    Being the new School/Guidance Coun­
    selor in Lyons is going great. Ms.Arellinei loves it
    here at Lyons and she really likes all the people
    she has met so far. As a guidance counselor, she
    encourages students to come and vist with her in
    her office, but she also knows just how impor­
    tant it is that all students get their work done so
    they can achieve a high level of success.
    Welcome, Ms. Arelline!

    THIS IS YOUR MANE EVENT

    Editor in Chief, Brian Ocque
    First month of school, first paper of the
    year, and possibly the beginning of a new saga
    on the Lyons High School press. This year I m
    hoping for a grand paper, one that has surpassed
    the previous papers. This issue may not be as
    dreamy as I had hoped, but with the new paper
    comes a new editor.
    This year I am trying to bring a sense of
    personalization to the paper, maybe even by the
    rest of the student body here at Lyons. This is
    being achieved with the return of the poetry page,
    as you can see, which allows for the viewing of
    poetry from our students. Yes that s right, you
    can now display your poems in our paper. Along
    with the poetry section, we will try to feature two
    short stories a month; they will be broken up into
    sections and spread over the year s issues.
    Speaking of issues, there is another im­
    portant part of the paper this year. The addition
    of a
    Dear Abby
    type column will allow our
    newspaper staff, with the guidance of some pro­
    fessionals, to help students with whatever may
    be troubling them. This will be a gossip free sec­
    tion where real problems will be stated and an­
    swered anonymously.
    I hope this year, being the last year of my
    reign, will be the best that the paper has ever seen.
    If there is anyone who wishes to write for the
    paper either part­time or full­time, talk to me,
    I m always around. Best of luck to everyone!
    Happy writing and reading! (To all those teach­
    ers who didn t make it into the paper, and Mr
    Amundson, we ll get you next issue!)
