Naomi Kim | Editor Before I noticed, we have come incredibly close to the end of the Fall 2025 semester. Thank you to everyone who had written, edited, and read stories for The Paw Print.  I’ve always been someone to overthink the small little details, which might be one of the reasons why I was selected to be an editor, but I hope that my bad habit has become a benefit for writers and readers alike. Editing someone else’s work like this is new to me, so I’m grateful for the

Ryan Gillott | Editor Hello, fellow editors, writers, and all PawPrint enthusiasts!  This semester has been an amazing learning opportunity! I really enjoyed watching our writers grow throughout the semester. As the semester winds down and my time as an editor comes to an end, the feelings are bittersweet.  I will miss the editor meetings every Monday, and I’ll miss opening a rough draft of a new story. It was one of the best parts about being an editor. But this experience w

Separated only by the Delaware River, Easton Area High School in Easton, Pa., and Philipsburgh High School in Philipsburg, N.J., have faced off on the gridiron since 1905. The game has not only impacted the players on the field but also alumni and comm

Analesa Continenza | Writer   Some days, it feels like I’m living three lives at once — full-time student, double employee and dream chaser. I’m taking six classes this semester while working two jobs, and time management has become my survival tool.  It hasn’t been easy.
