Cody offers a wide variety of different job for the community. Among those who work during tourist season are CHS students. Most will apply for jobs by the time they are 14, in order to support themselves or their summer activities. By being employed they are able to pay for gas and other expenses. Also, they can save up to achieve multiple financial goals. For example, if kids are going on a trip or saving up for a new car being employed all summer allows them to learn how to save up money. Also they learn to be responsible, work with others and develop a strong work ethic.

On April 8, 2015 several CHS English classes had the chance to hear author, screenwriter, and Cody Native Mark Spragg speak. Spragg covered a variety of topics while speaking to these students. Among those topics, Spragg expressed the importance of reading to the students and even went into some of the biochemical reactions that reading has on the brain. Perhaps the most influential item expressed by Spragg was the need for students to "find their bliss." By this, Spragg meant that students needed to find a career which they enjoyed and pursue that career.

By Katherine Morrison
In a small town in Wyoming, a new type of restaurant has been attracting Cody natives to this new, and delicious option inspired by fresh produce and healthy options for the community: The Local. Previously living in Nirobi, Africa, Peter and Faith Malimo decided to create an establishment that has both the locals and tourists talking. With a seasonal menu and a professional team of chefs, The Local has a fresh take on what food should taste like. This restaurant wants to create a comfortable environment for customers and provide a healthy option, aside from the steaks and cheeseburgers commonly found in Wyoming. The atmosphere is deli style during the day, and at night is transformed into a formal dining experience, complete with candles and lights. Additionally, the pictures found throughout the restaurant are taken by the owner and friend, whom are professional filmmakers and photographers previously working for organizations such as National Geographic. With a rich history and amazing food, The Local is inspiring the people of Cody, Wyoming one meal at a time.

Has anyone walked up to you and given you a picture cut out from a magazine? Or maybe you have sat down at your desk and found a cut out of a painting.
Nancy Hook is a senior at CHS, in her free time she sits in Mr. Mark McKenna’s room cutting out the pictures.”Nancy comes into my class almost every day just to cut out pictures,” McKenna said. The pictures are from a famous artist and magazines. She will walk around and give them to random or sometime select people. She does it just to be nice and to share the art with her peers. Nancy will usually tell a little story to go along with the select images she shares but not always. Some people are a little shocked to her random approach but for others it's a constant occurrence, as she makes daily delivers to them. All the kids are very welcoming at CHS. When you first come into highschool as a freshman you are scared of everyone and worried about impressions. But not, Nancy, she walks to her own beating drum and is welcoming to everyone she comes across. She is a unique individual with an artistic flair. Some people pass the art onto their friends or may keep it. Some may even research and find out who the artist is or what the piece represents. Nancy doesn’t keep much of the art that she cuts out unless she really likes the pieces. Mr. Scotty Owen, the Special Education teacher, believes that with her distributing the art it shows how much she cares about the student body and developing new friendships. “Nancy is very kind and has a bright future ahead of her,” Owen said It’s going to be sad to see Nancy leave this year, as her high school years come to an end but I think we can all agree that Nancy is a very special person. She is hardworking, caring, loves artwork, and is a great example for any CHS student. Nancy's Art from CHS WIRED on Vimeo. 6/2/2015 0 Comments Turkeys in Larsen's Room
By Delia Alcaraz
Mr. Larsen never planned to raise turkeys, but with his love for birds he wasn’t able to pass up the opportunity. Mr White, a former CHS teacher, asked for help to care for the turkeys. So, Larsen made a decision to watch the turkeys for a short while.
Mr.Larsen’s science classes were thrilled for the new additions. Students were able to watch the turkeys develop and play with them. Larsen feels the process has been impactful for his students. “The students like to see the little babies growing up, the only thing that was a bummer was that they hatched really fast. We got them, then two days later they hatched, so we didn’t know where they were at incubation wise,” Larsen said. Even though the students didn’t get the full experience of watching the whole process, they still enjoyed the time they had and learning how turkeys grow up.
