Ryleah Kennebeck is a senior Volleyball player. After high school, Ryleah plans to attend Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School to receive her cosmetologist, barber, and esthetics licenses. Ryleah would like to thank all of her coaches throughout her high school career but especially would like to thank Coach Larimore for the knowledge given during this season. She would also like to thank her team for being a second family but most importantly she would like to thank her mother for being her biggest supporter of all. Ryleah would like to tell her teammates to never give up and that things will get hard and you will want to quit but there is always something good to come when you persevere. Thank you Ryleah for your commitment to Smithton athletics.
Karlee Ross, a senior captain in volleyball, is proud of earning her leadership role on the team. She says she hopes to see the team keep improving, win districts, and make memories. She plans to go to State Fair Community College to become a sonographer. They don’t currently have a volleyball team, so she’s working hard to make the most of the games this year.
During PLTW, students measured the energy use of several devices ranging from a hair straightener to a large buffer. They also compared the energy use of a modern game system using the Oculus VR headset to that of an old system by using a Nintendo 64 from the 1990s. The N64 actually used a little bit more power despite only having a fraction of the computing power as an Oculus. The N64 power use varied based on how many items were on the screen that the system had to process.
