March 10, 2023March 7, 2023Jordan DiMauro

As I sit down to write my last ever Wyverns Tale for the KO News, I can’t help but look back on all the lessons and memories I learned during my time on the news. Before I get too deep into this, I wanted to say that there is no way I’d be here writing […]

Wyvern’s Tale

I want to start this off by saying that I have two moms, and what I am going to talk about is something that feels personal to my family. On Dec. 5, 2022, the United States Supreme Court heard the case of 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, which dealt with an Evangelical Christian website designer, […]

As I submitted my first (and hopefully last) college applications, the realization that I am actually a senior hit me. It was a bittersweet moment for me; it was so relieving to know that years of hard work were finally going to pay off, but, at the same time, it was confirmation that I am […]

A Wyvern’s Tale

September 30, 2022October 2, 2022Jordan DiMauro

Like many other seniors, the college application process is not one I have been enjoying. The entire admissions process is one that causes anxiety and is dehumanizing to an extent. It boils years and years of hard work, dedication, success, and failures down to numbers and statistics. College admissions officers are supposed to understand who […]

After 35 years of teaching and coaching at KO, Middle School science teacher Judy Bailey has decided to take a step back from teaching.

Wyvern’s Tale

May 27, 2022May 25, 2022Jordan DiMauro

This Wyvern’s Tale is going to be very different from my last one because right now there are crucial political issues going on that need to be talked about. I did promise that at some point I would return to my roots of political writing, and here we are with yet another pressing issue in […]
