Mrs. Telliho’s Class Had a Little Butterfly
This year Mrs. Telliho’s class, pre-k and kindergarten, studied the monarch butterfly as a class project. Instead of simply using books or telling the students about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly,
Mrs. Telliho decided to find several live specimens in
order to add more dimension to the topic for her students. She said she wanted to give the children an
“opportunity to watch something miraculous happen
in God’s Kingdom.” The following is her account of
this encounter with the Creator.
“About the first week of September, I walked
the ditches looking for the milkweed plant because this
is the food for the monarch butterfly. On two separate
plants were two nearly adult caterpillars. I placed
them in two separate jars with the milk weed leaves
because they are ferocious eaters and must be fed
daily. The jar needs to be covered with a cloth window
screen so the caterpillar can hang from it when it goes
into the chrysalis stage. Sadly, something happened in
one of the chrysalis, and one of the caterpillars never
developed. I did some research and found that it was
probably due to a bacterium that had infected the
larva.

Student Chapel
I have been given the privilege of
being student chapel leader this year.
Each Monday, we students gather for a
half hour of student-led chapel. I am
excited about seeing growth toward
God in the student body, and learning
together what it means to worship. In
the last several chapels we watched a
Louie Giglio sermon entitled, “I Lift
My Hands” (Found on YouTube).
about praise to God. Everyone sat on
the edge of their seats as he demonstrated how God’s creation praises
Him.
More than just having fun, I want
student chapel to be led by the Spirit.
This has brought me closer to God because I have to know Him personally
before I can know what He wants.

Art
In art class we are
learning to put
shadow around an
object to make it
look round instead
of flat. I like trying
to get objects as
smooth and clear as
possible.

Butterfly story continued
The other
caterpillar developed, but one wing
was only partially
there. Right now, as
a class, we are giving
it a safe haven on a
fern plant. Our God
is an awesome God
to give us such
beauty to enjoy.”
The fact that
Mrs. Telliho was
able to find several
monarchs for her
class is actually
somewhat of a novelty as the populaStella Gehman and Lorena Helmuth
tion has dramatically declined over
the last several years. Still, God is good and chose to
bless the kindergarten and pre-k with a peek at His
Glory.

Physical Education
Recently the high school students, myself included, have begun horse riding lessons for our required physical education. I, of course, was thrilled to
have this experience. I believe it will teach us a heaping pile of knowledge.
You may be wondering how we have enough
horses for everyone. Well, our overly qualified P.E.
teacher set up a system. The way it works is that half
of us go for the first period and the other half for the
second period. Some of us take turns riding the same
horse. I know, complex. Our teacher’s main points are
to be a good leader for your horse and let the horse
know who’s in charge. Not that I have ever been afraid
of large animals. The points and tips she gave were still
helpful—things like, “don’t hold the saddle horn” and
how to put on a bridle. Anyway, it has been a fun experience, and I will be sad when the life of playing
dodge-ball returns.

The Runner
I started cross-country freshman year. It seemed like the perfect
sport for me since it required no
hand-eye coordination, no expensive
gear, and I didn't have to bench-press
my body weight to try out. I bought a
new pair of Nikes. I had (unwillingly
and uncomfortably) turned my head
and coughed during my physical. In
my freshman foolishness, I conceived
the notion that I was prepared for the
trek ahead. Now here I am, sitting at
a computer with knees that have
taken four years of pounding up hills
and an extremely warped mindset on
the nature of what genuine strength
entails.
I have seen kids with arms
and legs like string beans move faster
than an NFL running back, I have
experienced pain beyond my comprehension, and the impossibility of surrendering to it. I have felt that inexcusable urge to quit, and the sensation of overcoming it. I have witnessed best friends collapse in exhaustion, and rivals surpass my personal record. I have dealt with extreme temperatures – and yet have
not found an answer to “Why do I do
this?” Who would willingly haul himself off of a couch to jog in the elements?
Who would attempt to push far beyond his second breaking point after
most normal people would give up
far before their first? Why?
Runners are a peculiar
bunch. We bond through the appreciation of pain, acknowledging one
another with a slight nod when our
paths cross on a mountain trail, or
by moving slowly to the side when
another runner is wheezing up a
particularly large hill. My football
friends will insist that their sport is
much more difficult and that running nonstop three miles is kid's
stuff compared to bumping foreheads with guys in pads. I casually
retort that every two minutes there
is a hiatus in their game. The luxury
of breaks is foreign to a runner.
Runners believe in the power of
Spandex and slimness rather than
biceps and protein shakes. We ritually dine on pasta and bread just for
the sake and excuse of burning off
the extra carbs. We feel legitimately
guilty if we so much as slightly decelerate, even during a recovery. We
smile when other athletes complain
about doing laps as punishment
while we run twice that in warmups. It fascinates me that something
so simple remains a consistent and
vital part of any athletic pursuit, and
even a healthy life.
Before there were balls to kick or
throw, there were feet alone.
Simplicity and independence are
the foundations of runners and
their sport. I have amassed four
years of friends. We wear the
same uniform, we try to predict
what splits we will want to accomplish, and imagine whom
we’ll pace behind, but at the end
of the day, we are alone. We either fail or succeed on our own
accord and willpower.
The beauty of cross country stems from choice – the
choice to continue, the question
of the next route to conquer.
Freedom -- that is the gift of running. On a run, infinite paths
reveal themselves. Walls, obstacles, pain – they are just detours.
Speed, distance, and form are all
relative. I am not weighed down
by a set of rules. After four years,
I no longer question my love for
the sport. I have found my answer. I am a unique kind of crazy
that finds satisfaction in conquering pain and in pushing myself past my limits. Running is
similar to life; when it hurts and
you think you can’t do it, just
keep going forward.

The Pathway Tournament
Friday, September 19th, 6 teams drove to Iowa to compete for first place at our Pathway Tournament
(though some of us are slightly suspicious that they really just want our soft pretzels). Some of the teams came
from as far as Omaha, Nebraska and Chicago, Illinois to compete. Coach Kurt Kemp commented that out of Pathway’s playing season, the teams invited to our tournament were the best teams we have played thus far.
At 12:15 Saturday afternoon, we faced our final opponent, Quincy, for fifth place. Even though we had
been beaten by Quincy earlier, we decided not to let that shake us up, and we stepped onto the court with determination. Coach Kemp commented, “The best thing I think we accomplished in this tournament was bouncing back
after some down time. We struggled to get it together as a team, and to play against our emotions. I think in the
last game we finally accomplished that.” The first game was tight, but the girls fought, and in the end, won the
game with the final score being 25-22.The next game the girls upped their excitement and managed to overcome
Quincy with a score of 25-20 thus giving the Pathway Panthers the Fifth Place Title.

Did you know that doing word puzzles exercises your
mind and can help prolong your thinking skills as you age? Yeah,
neat! We thought we should share this age defying secret, and allow
you to participate in a brainy fall crossword designed by one of our
very own panthers from the pathway pack. We also decided that
anyone who participates should probably replenish any energy lost
in the process of solving this puzzle. Yes, there is a prize. We will
offer a free hot cider from the Kalona Coffee House for the first
person to accurately complete the below crossword.
1 Across: The first Thanksgiving was celebrated with
the ________________ Native Americans.
2 Across: How many days are in fall?
_______________
3 Across: The official fall animal is the
______________.
4 Down: A fall vegetable that was once used to remove
freckles is a ________________.
5 Down: The official color of fall is_______________.
6 Down: Full moon in autumn is called ____________
moon.
7 Down: Thanksgiving in Canada is celebrated on the
second Thursday of what month? _____________.
8 Down: The first day of fall is called fall

I get to eat her pillow.” (meaning pickle)
Dawson: “ I don't know this man’s name, but he had
ticks in his back and he had to get them removed.”
Joseph: “Wasn’t that your grandpa?”
Dawson: “Uh, yeah.”
Haley: “Is this fruit washed?”
Entire volleyball team: “Haley, it’s a BANANA!!!!”

Pathway Tournament Continued
Even though all the teams did great, one team
shone the brightest and got to take home the bright
pink first place trophy: Quentin Road from Chicago.
The runner up was the Omaha Warriors. Named for
the All Tournament team was Racine Miller. We were
also excited to come out of this tournament with a
93% serving efficiency. This was one of the team
Highlights, along with Racine Miller’s 25 aced serves.

Editor’s corner
At the beginning of the year, Mr. Slachbach approached the juniors and seniors and
asked us what we wanted to be remembered by. This really challenged me. It opened my eyes
to the fact that these last two years are all I have left. When I walk across that stage May 2016
I'm finished. This part of my journey will forever be over. The only part of myself at Pathway
will be the memories that I left, and I want those memories to be good memories. My strongest
heart’s cry for this school is not necessarily that we’d get more students, but rather that we
would be a Godly influence on the students that we have. I think we have some pretty amazing
kids in this school, and we as the older kids have the ability to either build them up or tear
them down. Speak carefully the things you say because the only words you’ll regret more then
the words you didn't say, are the words you used that tore someone down. Take time to love
people with the words you say both to their faces and behind their backs. This is my challenge
to myself, and to you, my reader.
