This year SHS Fashion for the Cure raised $59,000 dollars for The Dragonfly Foundation. All this money is in support of families whose kids are battling cancer. FFTC is an annual event that brings together our entire Sycamore community in appreciating the artistry and skill of its students, all while supporting a good cause. It is one of a kind and finds its way into peoples lives year after year. A week after the 2020 fashion show COVID-19 took hold and FFTC was unfortunately not able to be held in 2021. However, this setback only further motivated the committee, designers, volunteers, and others this year to work hard to come out with a bang for the 2022 show. So, that is exactly what happened.

Featured are some notable designers and their collections from the show on February 18, 2022.

LEADING LADY. Her second leading role in her SHS theatre career, junior Payton Hines played the quirky and romantic Juliet, her friendship with Romeo actor Jake Jervis coming in handy as they told a tale of love, woe, and unexpected happiness. Hines has expressed her sadness about how the arts have been severely disadvantaged during the pandemic, but is thrilled to be back on stage. “We are all just so extremely excited to be performing again with the energy of the audience, the lights, and the physical community for being together. While this year looks different and we have faced a new set of challenges, we are just so grateful to be back doing what we love,” Hines said.

MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT. Last Friday, both the Sycamore JV and Freshman team went to compete at the OCLRE Mock Trial Regional Competition in Clermont County. Both teams competed extremely well, even taking home some individual awards. Pictured is the Freshman team after a long, hard day in court. “We have a great team dynamic, and I love being a part of it every day,” said Anusha Gambheera, 9.

Ave’s choir pulled out all of the stops for the 2019 Cabaret show. According to aveschoir.org, “This event showcases the solo, duet, and small ensemble vocal performers from the talented Choral Program.” Cabaret was sponsored by the Sycamore Vocal Boosters Association. Auditions were necessary to participate from Cabaret. Senior Anna Enriquez participated in Cabaret this year. “I’ve been in Cabaret for all of my four years of high school and I have enjoyed it more and more every year. It’s a very relaxing evening filled with lots and lots of talent. I loved getting closer to people in choir and discovering so many unique aspects of everyone, Enriquez said.
