Students in the full-year sewing class are selling triangle bags and donating the proceeds to South Hills Animal Rescue.

In a very busy BPHS, a group of students is turning creativity into compassion.

Students in the full-year sewing class, in 3rd period, are making triangle bags to sell to the school. They will use the money they make from selling the bags and donate it to a charity.

The charity they will be donating to is the South Hills Pet Rescue, an animal shelter. Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs of all breeds and needs.

The bags are made in different colors, themes, designs, and patterns. They are also reversible, so the bag may have two different looks.

Each bag costs $5.

The bags are in the sewing room, 119. They will also be sold at the Bean and Berry.

They will also be sold at the Arts Fest and Steam Expo on May 3. If you’re in the sewing room or the Bean and Berry, maybe consider buying one to help the animals!

“1..2..Kick Up!” is what junior Gabriella Walsh hears on Friday nights in the fall. You can see her performing her tricks as a majorette in the Black Hawk Marching Band! This is her first year in Scholastic Publications and as a member of Hawk Eye. When asked why she joined the class she said, “It sounded like a fun class to take.” She’s planning on taking pictures for the yearbook and making social media posts. She has been a majorette for three years and was the very first freshman majorette in the Marching Band! Her favorite Marching Band memory is doing “Hot Time Bethel Victory” at the end of every halftime show. Outside of band, she also twirls for Passion Twirl and Poms. This past summer she was the Beg 15 World Open Solo Winner. When asked who her biggest inspiration is for twirling, she said, “Shaylie Fawcett.” Even though Gabriella is only a junior, she is pretty certain on what she wants to do in her future! She plans to go to college and be a feature twirler while also studying to become a history teacher! If she could have any superpower in the world, she would choose to have invisibility. When asked why, she said, “I’m not sure why, I just picked it because it sounds cool.” If she had to pick one person to have dinner with, she would pick Lana Del Rey. She said, “I’m so obsessed with her so she is obviously my first choice.” Her favorite Lana song is “Beautiful People Beautiful Problems.” She picks Starbucks over Dunkin, and her go-to order is an Iced Honey Apple Almondmilk Flat White Latte.
