Walking around the halls of Bethel Park High School on Friday, you saw one thing in particular, an abundance of pink.

This was in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The entire student body was encouraged to support the cause and wear pink to school on Friday. Students were also to wear pink to the football game Friday night.

Mrs. Broderick organized the sale of pink bandanas for support, and also has been the main source promoting the movement.

The bandanas were donated by St. Clair Hospital, and all of the proceeds will go back to the St. Clair Hospital Breast Cancer Center.

Mrs. Broderick said, “I’ve been amazed and so proud of the students.”

When asked what else one could do to help, Broderick said, “For everyone to just be aware.”

Bethel Park has purchased their pink bandanas and dawned their pink attire, now it is time to support the cause during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Walking through the halls of Bethel Park High School, one will catch a glimpse of an energetic guy shaking the hands of all his peers. Sean Miehl's charismatic enigma is prevalent at the high school. Sean joined Hawk Eye and the journalism class to sharpen his writing skills, hoping that it'll give him an edge in college. Sean's main aspiration is to major in journalism at a four year college. "I joined Hawk Eye to improve my writing skills and to also gain some experience in the writing field," Sean said. "I'm thinking about going into journalism later on in life." Post high school Sean is looking into majoring in journalism or political science preferably at Ohio University. Sean is a diverse character. He admires music and going to concerts as well as playing inline hockey for Bethel Park. Miehl said, "I enjoy music and going to concerts. Music is apart of my life." In addition, Sean loves longboarding after school. A longboard is a skateboard of bigger size that allows the rider to make sharper turns and easier cuts. Sean said, "Aside from working at Ace Hardware and playing inline hockey for Bethel Park, I enjoy riding my longboard around Bethel Park." Sean's goals for Hawk Eye this year go above and beyond. His vision is to upload articles and videos quicker and on a larger scale. Sean said, "I want to see a successful, fresh, constant stream of articles. Also, more features that blend well with the student body. I want to make Hawk Eye apart of every student's experience here at Bethel Park High School." Expanding Hawk Eye means a lot to Sean. This past year, Hawk Eye, as a publication, won "silver" from the Pennsylvania School Press Association, a scholastic press association that represents PA. "I want to see Hawk Eye win gold next year. It's all about improvement," Miehl said. Sean's unique character will add a special flare to Hawk Eye. Sean said, "I think my enthusiasm will bring something special to the table." Sean's energetic character will add freshness to Hawk Eye. With Sean aboard, Hawk Eye can fully spearhead any task or obstacle in its path. Written by: Adam Larson, Editor-in-Chief
