Open gym soccer will start on Sunday, February 1st, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Both boys and girls are welcome to come to play soccer! It will be more focused on having fun instead of assessing different skills and positions. No equipment will be necessary to bring, just a simple pair of gym shoes is all you need. The open gyms are an opportunity for new players to try out soccer before the actual soccer season and old players to start getting into soccer again. It will last for 5 weeks, until the beginning of soccer season, on March 16th.

Scott Simonton, Staff Writer
Scott Simonton joined the journalism program during his sophomore year after being inspired by Mrs. Berryhill. What began as an interest quickly developed into a passion, as Simonton discovered that journalism is both a creative and rewarding field. He comes from a family of five, including his parents, Josh and Christina, his older brother, Jake, and his younger sister, Jennifer. While Simonton is not involved in other school activities, he focuses his time and energy on journalism.
Simonton’s favorite aspect of the program is photography, especially photo projects that allow him to choose his own subjects and express his creativity. Looking ahead, Simonton is excited to be part of the Javlin yearbook staff and see the final product come together. Overall, Simonton’s creativity and dedication make him a strong asset to the journalism program.
