SHS Journalism – "More than a director: Ms. Hildenbrand’s impact on band"
Written by Claire Schmaltz For many students, the band director is more than a teacher, she is a mentor, motivator, and the reason they love music. For Salem Middle and High schools Brittany Hildenbrand fits all of these standards. Hildenbrand started her career by doing everything band related in high school. “I was a part of the Marching Band, Concert/Pep Band, Honor Jazz Band (included the whole school corporation), Honor Band (included the whole school corporation), EPY
SHS Journalism: "A team that feels like home"
By Adalee Hobson Photo by Adalee Hobson On a warm spring afternoon, the sound of softballs cracking against bats carries across the fence of the outfield, blending with laughter, shouted drills and the occasional sharp whistle from the dugout. At first glance the Lady Lions look like any average high school softball team. If you look closer you’ll see a little resemblance on the field as the game begins. The same last names. The same features. The same instinctive glance betw

"Back in Line" with Dr. Mosier: Bright Lights & Sirens
Sometimes Hope is the only thing Holding Someone Together. (Trigger warning – suicide) Bright lights and sirens filled the summer morning air. As I stepped outside our front door, I glanced to the right—toward our neighbor’s house. It was surrounded by police cars, first responders, and an ambulance. There was a commotion I didn’t fully understand at the time. I remember seeing Rick’s teenage daughters—who used to babysit me—and their mom, completely distraught. I was only ei
"Back in Line" with Dr. Mosier: The Easter Egg Heist
A dad’s “brilliant” plan… and the lesson it revealed about staying connected to what truly powers your life. This past Easter, I made a parenting decision that… well… might be up for debate. After church, we had an Easter egg hunt with the boys. Isaiah and Isaac—being older and faster—were doing what they always do… absolutely dominating. Meanwhile, Ethan—my 2nd youngest—was giving it everything he had… but just couldn’t keep up. So naturally… Dad stepped in. Let’s just say I
