Volume 40
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
TheEditor sHead
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!)
